The author of Berlin Sampler curates a list of archival links on the history of Berlin's music scene.
Berlin's musical history
Return2style.de
This is the website that really got me into the
amazing Swing Jugend movement from the 1940s. They were the first
historically recorded heroic party animals: Jazz raves under Nazi
boots and Allied Bombs. This site is full of details and ideas.
From The Archives
For all crazy archivists around, this site specialises in
Einstürzende Neubauten, Lydia Lunch, Gun Club and more, it contains
full discographies and complete lists of concerts including scans
of ticket stubs! Some sort of teenage otaku dream.
Die
Toedliche Doris
The super dadaist
anti-group from the Geniale Dilettanten give it's music to who asks
them nicely.
Brotbeutel
For those who wants to delve into ill-shaped German punk/ndw music.
This blog is a complete mess but is full of amazing gems.
Digital In Berlin
Berlin music agenda, focused on experimental music. Very good
source.
Ex Berliner
I work with these guys distributing Berlin Sampler in
Berlin – it's Berlin's Village Voice. They never hesitate
to be polemical when they have to.
Head Heritage
There would not have been a Berlin Sampler without a
Krautrocksampler.
Decoder
Decoder, full version. Starring William S
Burroughs, FM Einheit, Genesis P Orridge.
Decoder tell us about a gigantic fictional corporate plot
to enslave humans with muzak and fast food. And the counter
reaction to it with a black noise terrorist movement. Very much
based on the electronic revolution poetic-theory from William
Burroughs, with Genesis P Orridge playing the Black Noise Priest.
Beautiful soundtrack by Dave Ball.
