They were there last year, after being absent since the pandemic. Just hoping that Swells will be ready soon!

I’m thinking to go there.
the last time I was in a music gear event was musikmesse in Frankfurt years ago, which is only a one hour drive for me .
Berlin would be 5-6 hours, but I think it will be worth it
(Depends on current gas prices or I’ll travel by train😭)

So do you peeps recommend buying tickets upfront?

I plan to, shortly, because I like to have these things settled. But there are items in the FAQ about how to buy on site, including what to do if you want to arrive first for an evening concert. So I think they expect to not sell out. Given the disruptions and recent price increases in travel, I would be surprised if there were a huge surge in attendance compared to previous years.

Modor will be at the show.

I expect they will be showing this off, which is likely very close to being delivered, if it hasn’t already shipped in small quantities.

Boredbrain might finally give a clear release date for their mixer?
anyhows interesting show to tune into, even remotely :slightly_smiling_face:

What’s the consensus on the best area to stay in when going to Superbooth and the afteparties at Waldkater? Friedrichshain, Mitte, somewhere else? I’ve got a day either side to do some tourism too, so not somewhere completely dead.

Roland is at Superbooth – so a perfect time for that new …

In addition this year at Superbooth is the Roland Future Design Lab.

I got 4000 ready if they announce an SH-1000/ Juno/ Jupiter real reissue.

Friedrichshain is the obvious choice, since you have a direct S-Bahn line to FEZ from Ostkreuz or Warschauer Str. train stations with the S3.

Additionally, if you want to visit the usual sightseeing spots, you can always do so with the same train line westwards to Mitte.

Is there already an inofficial Elektronauts meetup planned at the Superbooth this year? IIRC there was one last year but I couldn’t be at SB last year so don’t know if that happened/how that went.

Knobula had hinted about something to do with cows.

The new product is called Drum Farm.


Also available in black.

The product allows you to generate and manipulate drum sounds that can be synthesized and/or sampled and with combinations of the two, plus effects.

Perhaps it can be compared to the Vermona DrumDING ??

24 HP

Available for pre-order now, and should ship in June.

Plinky 12
( Twelve like 12 inch. )

This looks really interesting as a general purpose synth / controller. Several flavors in a family, or you can roll your own.

this looks interesting…
“Plinky 12 will be sold pre-assembled, with additional panels available separately.”
“Plinky 12’s hardware is designed around swappable panels. Instead of one fixed control surface, it can become different instruments built for different kinds of musical thinking.”
" The full documentation and info are coming in Summer 2026. Or come and try it in person at Superbooth in Berlin, May 2026."
And not too far : “In stores, Summer 2026.”
… mm… are we getting into the Next Spring Hype territory…

Excited and hope to see interesting stuff at this year’s event :cowboy_hat_face:

This will be my 3rd Superbooth, attending Friday with 2 friends from Amsterdam. Superbooth is a great reason to be in Berlin in Spring for a couple of days. Last time I also went to the Synth museum near Kotti which I imagine is of interest to many a 'naut, last year they had extended opening hours during Superbooth.

Edit: oh and I forgot, I’m also going to Hunger To Create in Berghain on Thursday evening with live electronic music performances.
