Two hours of jit and ghetto-tech anthems from one of Detroit's premier party labels.

I’m in Greece, standing at the mouth of Penteli cave. The air smells of salt and something metallic. Inside, turtles crawl along the walls and ceiling, their shells reflecting scenes from history—battles, feasts, gods laughing. One stares at me, and suddenly, I understand everything—the universe, time, why socks vanish in the wash. The ground shatters. I’m falling—no, I’m on a roller coaster, twisting through the sky. The track is made of gold and marble, looping through clouds shaped like gods’ faces, past an upside-down Parthenon floating like a balloon. The coaster dips into the Aegean Sea, skimming the surface before rocketing upward through a storm of lightning bolts hurled by an amused Zeus. A turtle in a laurel wreath appears beside me, holding a cup of ambrosia. “Drink,” it says. I take a sip—blinding light. I wake up. There’s sand in my bed, a tiny turtle-shaped stone on my pillow, and the faint scent of something ancient in the air.

Radar Bird - Live From CTM

We headed back to Berlin for another year of CTM, this time to check out the sixteenth edition. The music and visual arts event, formerly known as club transmediale, began with a focus on electronic music but has recently become known for bringing musicians from a wider field of genres onto an international stage. During the weeklong showcase CTM also hosts lectures, panel discussions, art installations and workshops, at venues across the German capital.

This year the festival’s lineup juxtaposed its more industrial and experimental leanings with club-oriented bookings, bringing acts like Prostitutes and Nissenenmondai into the same cultural arena as DJs and producers such as SOPHIE and Teki Latex. Throughout the week-long event we presented a series of broadcasts, each with special guest hosts, and also recorded a selection of performances.

Special thanks to all the staff at CTM and Where Is Jesus, to Tito Toblerone and to the Through My Speakers collective.
