Berlin and music have always been an inseperable combination - especially electronic music has been at the center of attention for several decades now. At the Berghain Kantine, the event location of Berlin's most infamous techno club, this interdisciplinary and practically oriented symposium displays how many different theoretical and practical perspectives exist on the topic of electronic music nowadays.

Berlin is one of the major music metropolises worldwide with its strong music history, many labels, publishers, artists, and networks. Especially electronic music has been playing a dominant role, ever since clubs have opened their doors from the 1980s.
