GEMA, Youtube und Berghain by OTA Constituency Blog Contributor Theo v. Couveren

Thursday, October 18th, 2012

Die Debatte nimmt kein Ende und nun sollen deswegen auch schon Clubs wie das Berghain geschlossen werden. Die Rede ist von zu hohen GEMA Gebühren. Die GEMA ist die Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungsrechte und sie ist dafür zuständig was, wann und wo aufgeführt werden darf. Leider geht dies zu Lasten der Hörer. Als Musikhörer bekommt man dies am allermeisten über gesperrte Youtube [...] Continue Reading…

Früher hatte Berlin die Loveparade, heute sollte Berlin die B-Parade haben.
Die Loveparade hat sich allerdings schon lange aus der Hauptstadt verabschiedet und ist 2010, wegen Panik und Todesfällen in Duisburg, auch komplett von der deutschen Bildfläche verschwunden.

Die B-Parade hatte leider bisher immer Finanzierungsschwierigkeiten und die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit war leider auch nicht so gut, dass das Konzept sich weiter halten konnte.

All das scheint aber [...] Continue Reading…

Orlando Higginbottom on stage

A few of the OTA-Berlin Constituency Blog contributors are en route thru Berlin nightlife every week. In my case,  I’m only in Berlin clubs when something really special is happening, like “Yellow Lounge”, a club night organised by Deutsche Grammophon, where DJs and Artists play classical music.

The hottest new area for exhibiting the artistic talents of young German and International artists is Wedding. Heidestrasse, near Hauptbahnhof, is a hive of creativity, the entire street consisting of converted warehouses, posing as galleries in the new cool part of Berlin. Tired of expensive, overly touristy Prenzlauer Berg and over the recent craze of Neukoelln, the latest district Berliners are flocking [...] Continue Reading…
