SUPERBOOTH23 – StromKult

Video: Taking the bus to SUPERBOOTH23

A great bunch of people, good music, a bus, and a goal – SUPERBOOTH23. This movie has it all. Instruo documented their 2023 trip to Berlin with a camera and give great insight into their personal experience of the journey and into their crew. This creative bunch of people is the expanded team at Instruō, from Glasgow, Scotland. Many of them also contributed to the soundtrack of the documentary. You can find a detailed list in the description of the video on YouTube – that’s a very welcome detail.

The documentary also lets you realize that running a company like Instruo and organizing a trip to a trade fair is way more elaborate than you think. A big Thank You to Jason Lim and the whole Instruo crew for taking us with them on their trip to SUPERBOOTH23 – see you next year!

Video: NERKKIRN live @SUPERBOOTH23

Here is another video of the Strandbühne at SUPERBOOTH23 – this time with NERKKIRN!

NERKKIRN is what happens when you pair two very different electronic musicians with a shared passion for warping sonic technology – and set them loose. German-born Nerk, aka Benjamin Weiss, is a techno veteran, a founding member of the legendary Berlin rave act Tok Tok, with releases on Kompakt, Klang, and V-Records. American Peter Kirn comes from a background in classical and experimental music, and is best known as the editor of CDM (createdigitalmusic.com) and co-creator of the MeeBlip synthesizer.

The Minibooth!

In about two months it is time for SUPERBOOTH23! There will be new exhibitors from all over the world who will officially attend for their first time. Of course the Superbooth Berlin team is also looking forward to welcome the many exhibitors, guests and artists that have supported the event throughout the years. The list of exhibitors is growing, now there are more than 160 brands listed already and there are more to come.

But the noteworthy news for today is not the number of exhibitors, but an event called Minibooth. It will take place on the weekend before Superbooth, also in the FEZ-Berlin and is focused on education for kids at the age of 5-14. Superbooth Berlin are not the organizers of this event, but of course they support it and maybe some of you have capacities and ideas to attend or contribute to this event, too. Please find the official introduction, the date and contact below. Participation is free of charge and it will be a great opportunity to introduce the fascination for synthesizers to the next generations in a playful way. If you are interested, please write to Tim & Julius at: minibooth@fez-berlin.de

Check out this message by the Minibooth Orga-Team fo more information:

Invitation to participate in the
Minibooth 2023
on May 6 and 7, 2023 12.00 to 18.00 o’clock at FEZ Berlin
For the first time, FEZ Berlin is organizing the Minibooth. As a warm-up for the Superbooth, it aims to introduce the next generation to the different aspects of electronic music. We are looking for creative minds, enthusiastic contributors and people who are interested in getting involved with an interactive offer for children.
Your offer for the kids can be, for example, a stand, an installation or a workshop. It is important that you enjoy guiding the children of different ages on their first journey into electronic music. On the Minibooth, the kids can playfully learn how electronic sounds are created and how you can make them yourself, manipulate them or combine them with your own voice. They will get to know unusual musical instruments and can learn or make new instruments themselves in workshops. Of course, there will also be concerts and a party for the kids, so everyone can try out the dance floor and shake a leg.
The event will take place on May 6 and 7, 2023 – one week before Superbooth. The target group are children and teens from 5 to 14 years accompanied by their parents.
If you are interested in participating, please send us a short email to minibooth@fez-berlin.de as
soon as possible, ideally until 3rd of March.
We will review your ideas and get back to you by the beginning of March to discuss if and how we can implement them on site.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Your Orga Team of the Minibooth
