Liar Thief Bandit is a power trio born to play live with the sole purpose of carrying the torch of
everything that ever was, is and will be rock’n’roll in its purest form. Raw, undeniable energy combined
with a melodic essence and uplifting lyrics continues to make the band stand out as one of the most
interesting acts of this day and age.
This Swedish life force has released three full-length albums and the latest mini-album called
“Diamonds” was released on September 16th, 2022. The band entered the studio once again in the
fall of 2023 to record their 4th full-length album set to be released in 2024.
With a true DIY mentality, the band has done over 200 shows and is considered a professional live
band with plenty of merits. They have 12 European tours under their belt as well as support shows for
The Hellacopters, Graveyard, The Bronx, Supersuckers, Hank von Hell, Electric Six, Valiant Thorr
among others. A support tour in Sweden with Royal Republic (Live Nation) in 2022 and a slot at
Sweden Rock Festival 2023 counts as their latest and biggest achievements. It’s safe to say thishard-
working band is tobe reckoned with.
Influences span from the classic rock of the ‘70s through the garage revival of the ‘90s and all the
way up to contemporary, inspiring acts –always with an intense live dynamic and full focus on
roaring melodies.

FreeFreeDomDom is a French indie pop duo formed by Laetitia and Philippe, whose serendipitous meeting in Montmartre sparked their creative partnership. Their sound blends quirky electro beats with catchy melodies, drawing influence from artists like Rita Mitsouko, Grimes, and The Knife. After working together on various music projects, they launched FreeFreeDomDom in Berlin in 2017, later finding new inspiration in Sintra, Portugal. This creative journey led to the release of their EPs Amazing Exciting Sensational Love and C’est Pas la Vie en Rose.
Their debut album Inséparables is set for release in March 2025, featuring their already-released first single "Papillons"—an ode to love in all its forms.

AISATSANA was created in 2011 by Anastasia Postnikova - singer and keyboard player of IVA NOVA all-female
band. A beautiful voice and a kaleidoscope of synths, samples, modern beats and a live played piano - and only one person on stage.

The Bousculaires is the Dirty Decadent Electro avatar of the rock band Anatomie Bousculaire. An organic, psychedelic, melodic, new wave and punk universe. Pure DDE to shake up your anatomies in every club in the galaxy - to infinity and beyond!
collaborative exploration of sound and culture w/ music, stories and snacks
M:Soundtrack x The Dreaming Diaspora: w/ Wooly Aziz (Pakistan / Bln) ft. Tanaad (Thailand) + Legion Seven (CA/DE) + VIO (Bln & Mehfil Collective (Pakistan/Bln) **The evening will be a collaborative exploration of sound and culture w/ music and snacks
The Dreaming Diaspora is a familial creative exchange centring BIPOC* artists and the celebration of collective ambition, with a Night of the Dreaming Diaspora carrying tales of devotion, war, and migration.
Featuring Artists: Wooly Aziz featuring Tanaad, Legion Seven , VIO, & Mehfil Collective
Wooly Aziz is an evocative, genre-fluid project from Lahore, Pakistan, composing stories of submission, devotion, war, and migration. Transcending borders with their atmospheric compositions, “wistful vocals” (Rolling Stone), and lyrical storytelling, Wooly Aziz is anchored in the emotional extension of their colonial and geographical traces — reflected in their newly conceptualized record: Dreaming Diaspora, from the first track, called Take Off, to the last one, Landing. https://www.instagram.com/wooly.aziz/
FEATURING:
Tanaad is Pead Rasanon a Bangkok-born music producer, musician, and DJ, currently based in Berlin (also known as pTR, r.flav & DRIPTECH). He is the initiator of the blozxom community and record label project. His work includes live performances and DJ sets, with notable appearances at events such as the Wonderfruit Festival, Beat Forest Festival, Boiler Room x Maho Rasop Festival, Ghost2565: live without dead time in Bangkok, Korat & Chonburi (Thailand), and the Asian Meeting Festival in Tokyo, Kobe & Kyoto (Japan)
Recently, Tanaad performed with Mon Sisu Satrawaha and Unthaitled Collective in “Somtam Manifesto” at the closing Exhibition of Rirkrit Tiravanit: DAS GLÜCK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG at Gropius Bau, Berlin in January 2025, He designed sound and music for short films, including "No Exorcism" by Komtouch Dew Napattaloong, which premiered at CPH:DOX, Copenhagen, in 2024. He also did a live soundtrack for Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s "Vapour" which premiered at the Busan Film Festival in 2015. An alumnus of Goethe Talents in 2020, he has hosted shows on dublab and Bangkok Community Radio. https://www.instagram.com/___7.o__o7/?hl=en
LEGION SEVEN (CAN/DE) is a multi-hyphenate storyteller whose work is an erratic vehicle on a splendid path. Their projects are consistent only in a refractive departure from the biblical cult rigidity into which Seven was born. The wreckage of this rigidity, strewn with dream-mythology, science-fiction, chaos-logic and exuberant lies, lays the path on which Seven gains momentum and puts momentum on display. + Legion seven https://www.instagram.com/legion_se7en/
VIO is a Berlin based Indie Soul artist whose music seeks a delicate dialogue between oneself and one’s surroundings. Their music gravitates towards a feeling of distant present and warm melancholy,
Through their identity as queer and POC artist, they dive into themes like the exploration of scattered pieces of identity, research of belonging, and complexity of relationships. VIO’s lyrics don’t attempt to hide vulnerability but turn it into their power. + VIO https://www.instagram.com/itsvioss/
Mehfil is an emerging community-food collective that playfully revamps elements of Pakistani cuisine. Founded by Shanzeh, an architect who has transformed her passion for design into a creative exploration of experimental fusion cooking, Mehfil combines her love for South Asian flavors with event and space curation — prioritizing making these initiatives both accessible and affordable.
More than just a culinary venture, Mehfil aspires to collaborate with artists from the Global South to craft meaningful, immersive experiences. We seek to evoke a sense of home and nostalgia for the South Asian diaspora while creating a space where communities can gather, share stories, and connect through food and art.
For this collaboration with Dreaming Diaspora, Mehfil is drawing inspiration from Pakistani tea time snacks.

Mehfil Collective will be selling South Asian Snacks at Merch table! bring some hunger with you

ELL vereint mit weiblicher Stimme und wenigen Instrumenten die Schönheit einer
Schlagbohrmaschine mit der Power einer duftenden Kirschblüte. Oder umgekehrt?
Wer vermag das schon zu beurteilen! Erst recht, wenn man dieses Krach-Pop-Duo
noch nicht Live gesehen hat.
Lisa-Anna (sie/ihr) und Lennart (er/ihn) sind laut Rockband-Duden vielleicht
personell unterbesetzt, jedoch fehlt es ihnen an absolut gar nichts. Das haben über 30
Shows in ihrem Debüt-Jahr 2022 als Liveband gezeigt.
Sympathisch? „Jep,“ Authentisch? „Oh ja!“ Sound? „Hä, wie machen die das?!?!“
Publika im deutschsprachigen Raum sind ELL schutzlos ausgeliefert und verlassen
Shows in der Regel mit einem zementierten Grinsen, einer neuen Frisur und diesem
warm-wohligen Gefühl, wenn man mit viel Liebe ein Butterbrot gemacht bekommen
hat.
Das sind ELL.
Besetzung: Weiblicher Gesang, Multi-Amp Bass, Schlagzeug

Dreampop, singer-songwriter, folk – SEASOUL's music inhabits the spaces between genres and
styles. Always in search of the strange, the authentic, and the delicate, the Berlin-based musician
invites us into her pastel-colored world of radical gentleness. Uncompromising and curious, the
classically trained singer and music producer is on a constant musical journey: sometimes it’s her
solo project, sometimes a collaboration, sometimes politically charged art (performing with KAFVKA
on stage), and at other times she’s behind the keys of her second project, the underground punk band
JOLLE. Versatile yet always true to her aesthetic, Seasoul sails through all the facets of her truth:
"Moods of the sea, change quickly like me (...)".

Catchy artpunks MILK TV! The power trio feeds on playground nostalgia, cheep TV programs and a good dose of post-Reagan cynicism to bring some jerky and raucous pieces of rock music that feel like Devo, Wire, Sonic Youth & Deerhoof ain›t standing too far in the rear mirror. And you›re driving your old cousin›s shitty Honda Civic, but you wish it were a DeLorean flying under the milky-way.
ZERO DISCOUNTis a fabulous postpunk band from Berlin!
Album Release Party!
Otis Mensah is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist, poet and musician exploring the aesthetic fabric of language and cadence to evoke ethereal portraits of the body, family and notions of home. Drawing from a rich lineage of Black musicality, Otis’ poetic-sonic practice pulls multidimensional sound and text from archival material and reflections on dreaming and nature.
Following their tenure as the first Poet Laureate of Sheffield, UK, Otis has performed alongside Moor Mother, Benjamin Zephaniah and Little Simz. before the noise my cousin is the debut album from Otis, entirely produced by the intern following a longstanding Berlin-centred collaboration. Exploring notions of youth, its transience and malaise, ‘before the noise’ grapples for a deeper sense of kinship and home as it journeys artistic-tribulation and coming-of-age with dreamlike sonics and daring abstract-rap cadence.

Buhai
Die Musik von Buhai bewegt sich elegant zwischen unterschiedlichen Genres und klingt dabei immer neu und originell. Eine eingängige, handgemachte und liebevoll ausgearbeitete Popmusik, beheimatet irgendwo zwischen Kraut-Rock, Neue Deutsche Welle, French-Pop und Jazz. Für ihre Duo-Tour haben Sängerin Meryem Kiliç und Gitarrist Dirk Häfner ihre Songs auf das Wesentliche heruntergebrochen. Melodie, Harmonie und Text stehen so ganz unverhüllt im Vordergrund. Eine Einladung an die Hörer*innen, voll und ganz in die Songs einzutauchen und sich von ihnen mitnehmen zu lassen. Zum Beispiel in den Sommerurlaub (St.Tropez), nach Paris auf die Champs-Élysées (Sommerwind), an verlassene Strände (Offseason Tristesse), hinein in tiefe Gefühlswelten (Weit fort) oder hinaus in die Weiten des Weltraums (Astronaut).

Heavy Perreo w/ Messtizaje & Poetry from ElDani -messages to the latin migrant community & beyond
M:Soundtrack prsts : Messtizaje - Heavy Perreo (BLN)+ ELDANI - Live Poetry (BLN)
03.04.2025
A night of Heavy Perreo and live Poetry from and with Messtizaje, a multi-genre Berlin Based band of South American origin and ELDANI a Chilean/German poet, musician and content creator bringing the latin spirit to Schokoladen with both artists offering us messages of differeent perspectives and resistance against all the "isims" that we are all encountering on a daily basis in the world and here at home.
Messtizaje is a project created by the Berlin based Argentinian Cuculic brothers , mixing multiple musical genres such as Cumbia, Trap, Hip Hop, Metal and House, creating "Heavy Perreo" parties and fun and lots of dancing but full of messages. They have collaborated with artists from the Argentinian music scene like Las Manos de Filippi, Macario, and Biscarrita among others”
ELDANI is a Chilean-German artist who works in the fields of poetry, music and content creation.
As a content creator, ELDANI also brings us a proposal to fight against the German extreme right through social networks with videos that seek to unframe their reactionary narratives and expose their contradictions to inform, above all, our migrant community. https://www.instagram.com/eldaninsta/
Today his poetry gained notoriety on social networks thanks to the series “Berlin poetry”, which addresses various Berlin themes, from “winter” to political issues, accompanied by his characteristic way of narrating and the jazz music that accompanies his works.”
