CTM Festival

CTM Festival Festival for Adventurous Music & Art, Berlin

Multi-perspective experiences, critical reflection, hedonism, & collaborative learning

Berlin’s CTM Festival supports an open, networked, mutually-collaborative, global music culture through its yearly 10-day festival as well as countless collaborative and research initiatives, co-commissions, concerts, and other constantly-evolving formats. The 20 year-old festival stands out for its conscious pairing of daring artistic content and adventurous club experiences with an in-depth discourse programme, framing today’s sounds and music cultures within a shifting, hybrid global society.

On July 29 step into the theatre of the Void as PΞB slices open Urban Spree with a fever-dream of oil-slick wastelands and mad horror-infused poetry: disk.stager.co/shop/default/events/111666751

A relentless fusion of industrial punk and metallic noise rock drenched in distorted and twisted electronics and explosive vocals, their evisceratory revelations will soil your ears beautifully before Osaka’s VMO Violent Magic Orchestra bring that Death Rave power 💀

We can’t wait to welcome Ragana on August 6 at Neue Zukunft! Balancing beauty and devastation in equal measure, moments of overwhelming intensity give way to funereal melancholy before burrowing beneath soil and skin, lingering in you long after listening.

Don’t miss this powerful double bill with Dis Fig, opened in the pit by Spixe 🖤🌱

On July 29, Japanese foursome VMO Violent Magic Orchestra return to open the pit at Urban Spree pre-scourged by industrial punks PΞB: disk.stager.co/shop/default/events/111666751

A luminous and verminously gnarled black hole of hardcore black metal rave, Violent Magic Orchestra are entropy and energy copulating furiously, ripping apart floor and ear, suffocating guitars and throat-shred ejaculations perforating the eardrums as machines hammer like rabid gods. PΞB open the night with a feverish and brutal theatrical assault, drenched in distorted beats, twisted electronics, and explosive vocals.

The Berlin debut of alien black metallists Krallice on October 13 opens with an aural tear in the fabric of reality. Built almost entirely electronically from modular synthesis, Rashad Becker's dense microtonal environments shape artificial voices and unstable interactions that breathe with uncanny organic life. Narratives mapping uncharted fictional realms recur heavily in his work, ephemeral realms where no single aesthetic reign dictates form; rather, an infinite tapestry of sonic diversity flourishes in boundless variation.

One week left before the ancient rituals and brute modernity of Kuntari opens our June 3 concert night with Big | Brave. The duo resurrect and reconfigure dissect traditional Indonesian rhythms, roto toms snarling with clipped resonance as Tesla’s percussive guitar transforms into an instrument of raw, thrumming power.

Making their Berlin debut in a rare European appearance, few bands push black metal as far outside its own architecture as Krallice . Since their formation they've steadily dismantled metal orthodoxy, moving towards increasingly alien territory: folding relentless tremolo riffing into labyrinthine rhythmic structures, their dissonant harmonies and longform compositions feel suspended outside normal pacing.

Tickets sales start Tuesday May 26th at 11am.

Returning to Berlin with a new A/V set on August 20, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U brings the high-velocity selections he’s become beloved for: ra.co/pre/2440034 One second ramming industrial techno beats into gabber and breakcore, the next threading together trance, anime soundtracks and gqom without losing control or momentum for a second—a brilliantly deranged form of live composition assembled at occult speed via CDJs, and all without a shirt.

Pre-registration is now open on Resident Advisor, with presales starting May 25 from 15:00 💦
