Morphine Records unleashes a new and fresh batch of content and presents a whole bag of releases and new-coming artists. In order to celebrate the label will host a two-night showcase at Berghain which will feature artists who will present their work on the label in the near future as well as pre-sales of the records. The presentation will feature an intense marathon of 18 performances in the odd and unconventional Morphine fashion. This also marks the launch of a new website featuring an online shop for records and merchandise and a booking section for the label artists and friends.

The first evening will mostly feature acoustic and minimalistic performances, and the concerts will vary in intensity. Starting with Prague-based duo Havlovi who have made minimal classical music an emotional and meditative genre, to the ritualistic Sugai Ken, a Japanese performer displacing time and space to recreate a ritual within which his music develops and merges. Julien Desprez will present his Acapulco Redux show, a crazy guitar and sonic and visual excursions, and the highly expected Mario Batkovic will warp minds with his accordion, playing a solo session and a short duo with Rabih Beaini. The Japanese band Goat is preparing a new album for Morphine Records and will join the bill to showcase their new formation, followed by Thomas Brinkmann who will perform his Klick live set for the first time in Berlin, followed by obscure and haunting live sets from YpY and DJ Die Soon.

The second night will also focus on the presentation of four upcoming albums that will be available for pre-sale during the event. First, Upperground Orchestra, the Italian Band of Rabih Beaini, are joined by Daniele De Santis as a new band member and second drummer. This new formation will set the tone for the future shows and releases; Contagious, the new project by Sabine Erklentz, Andrea Newmann and Mieko Suzuki is a no-compromise, all-crash trio that broke the borders of sounds between the electronic and the electro-acoustic; Stefan Fraunberger, who performed Quellgeister #3 for CTM festival 2019 will present a 4-channel version on vinyl. Throughout the evening Marta De Pascalis will perform her magical synthesizers solo, Gorgonn is bringing his massive beats and noise alongside Container and his deadly crashing uncompromised groove. Marylou will grace the room with her tailored, delicate and energetic selection of records while Mieko Suzuki will wrap up the whole event with her smashing DJ set.
