Tuesday, February 1

The full CTM.11 programme will start tonight with events in all of the festival's Kreuzberg-based venues, such as West Germany, Paloma Bar, and Monarch. Next door Festsaal Kreuzberg will host the surely memorable 'Dual Duel', advertised as a 'performance/DJ-Battle' of 'Lippok vs. Nicolai', pitching brothers Ronald and Robert Lippok, best known as two thirds of To Rococo Rot, against the Nicolai brothers Olaf and Carsten (a.k.a. Alva Noto).

The highly anticipated opening of Recombinant Media Lab's CineChamber will also take place tonight with the performance of 'Plaything', a piece designed, composed and mixed by late and great US-American composer Maryanne Amacher specifically for the CineChamber's surround system. Daily live concerts will further utilise the CineChamber's immersive 360° A/V environment, with artists like Raster-Noton supergroup Signal (Wed), Monolake (Thu), and Deadbeat (Fri).

Wednesday, February 2

Tomorrow, Wednesday, the .HBC venue will host the opening of the 'Palais Wittgenstein' series of chamber concerts. The name refers to the magnificent music salon at the family home of 18th century steel magnate, Karl Wittgenstein, and artists presenting acoustic works in the intimate setting of the former Hungarian culture institute include ex-Slowdive member Simon Scott and Erik K Skodvin a.k.a. Svarte Greiner (Wed), Hauschka and Hildur Gudnadottir (Fri), as well as Greg Haines (Sat).

On Friday, we will head over to Monarch at Kottbusser Tor, where our own zero" DJ team will take to the decks as part of CTM's 'Selectors Choice' series. Later on the Perlon / Hyperdub double feature at Berghain / Panoramabar should prove one of the festival's biggest draws with artists such as Darkstar, Ikonika, and Kode9, as well as Bruno Pronsato and Sammy D performing live as Half Hawaii.

Saturday will see concerts by Black Fog (a.k.a. The Field) and Zombie Zombie at Festsaal Kreuzberg, while Modeselektor and London's hipster label Night Slugs share the bill at Maria Club with a great bass-heavy line-up including Siriusmo, Cosmin TRG, Girl Unit, and Bok Bok.

For its official closing party CTM.11 will once again take to Panoramabar on Sunday, with DJ sets by Green Velvet, Mark Du Mosch, DJ TLR, and Clone's Serge, who should provide a fitting finale for this year's Club Transmediale.
