What happens at the Elektron Studios?

I’m in Berlin at the moment, and down the street from me is a storefront with an Elektron logo taped to the window. Inside I can see someone at a computer and a Monomachine on the shelf. I couldn’t see any mention of an event tonight but a quick search reveals Elektron Studios Berlin on the map. Is this just for recording jams and uploading to Youtube or is it something more open?

Btw, anyone else in Berlin and seeing Deathprod tonight or Jon Hopkins tomorrow?

I saw Hopkins in Paradiso amsterdam. Crowed was over-hipstered, the Guy is super popular… and his set was fantastic.

Where is it and has it a social media account for events?

Elektron are opening a showroom / new office / studio in Berlin.

No social media page, which is why I’m posting here. Address is Friedrichstraße 17. As I mentioned though, it’s pretty bare at the moment.

@Rusty that makes some sense! Too bad I’m only here until Friday. That said, I’ll be in Sweden next week so I can knock on their HQ’s door and yell “Cenk? Cenk, you home?!”

Makes sense to me.

If/when I’m going to launch < insert secret project here >; I’m moving to Berlin, capital of the electronic music world, and opening a little shopfront / workshop so cats can come down and check out < insert secret project here > in person, demo it, have it presented etc.

You can all pop in to say hi and grab a coffee :slight_smile:

You would probably make much more money selling coffee than synths these days. Its legalised drug dealing
I like my synths but I love coffee :coffee::coffee:

Awesome! I’ll take you to a nice bar. But why wait?? :smiley:

Awesome :slight_smile:

No money.

Therefore no time to concentrate on development / testing; as I’m too busy having to work and do various other things to pay rent, bills and put food on the table.

Additionally the last few months have been very rough; so once I finally get home; I’ll be going on a road trip and having a good period of reflection.

I’ve got a couple of ideas floating around. One of which I know would be awesome… but very hard to pull off.

But if I could… would be awesome for all involved, both internal and external stakeholders, and humanity in general.

Pretty ominous, no? :open_mouth:

I work for a big (italian) espresso company, and I can confirm - it´s more money than you can keep track of.
(literally, sometimes.)

drug dealers are jealous of us because we get health insurance :stuck_out_tongue:

Email from Elektron today: opening of Elektron Studios on 8 May (the evening before Superbooth 19 opens). Lucy, The Allegorist, and Auvrel performing.

“The flourish of the day will see the introduction of another Elektron family member to those present.”

Diaried :smiley:

Any idea how I can find more info about the event? I think I’m not on the mailing list that you’re on.

The opening is an invite only event due to the small size of the place. There will be a lot of different exciting activities happening in that space in the future that will be open for everyone. Panel discussions, workshops and small shows.

Cenk @Dataline is head of the space and maybe can chime in with some more info?

Good luck guys!!!

Yea! We are gearing up to the ‘opening party’ which happens right before Superbooth19! As Olle has mentioned, we have capacity of 150 - 200 people and therefore we had to keep the very first event ‘private’. Our intention is that the future events will be open to public.

There are lot of plans and activities coming up for this space and the energy is very nice! Hopefully, many of you will be able to join us in the coming times!

More info will be coming in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! So looking forward to sharing with you all…
