Initially founded in 1982 to highlight underground and experimental tunes and art in the German capital, the Berlin Atonal festival was brought back to life in 2013 after a two-decade break and has quickly become a seminal event on the global electronic music scene. Now centred on an abandoned power plant in central Berlin, it always features a lineup stacked with stars – recent years have seen the likes of Moritz von Oswald, Rashad Becker, Donato Dozzy, Yves de May and Pinch take the stage. This Tokyo spin-off is not short on quality either: things kick off with a screening of the B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989 documentary, while later at night the tunes will be provided by von Oswald, Demdike Stare, YPY and company.
