What can we do about club closures? (with Surf 2 Glory)

Electronic Beats Weekly - En podcast af Telekom Electronic Beats - Torsdage

Clubs in Berlin are closing at a rapid rate – including the legendary Watergate. And it’s not just Germany. In the UK, a study found that if nightlife continues struggling at the same rate, there will be no clubs by 2030. Some of these issues are perennial, but the reality is that “Clubsterben” is accelerating – even though there seems to be more money in nightlife than ever. So what impact do these closures have on artists and audiences? Are clubs still actually centers of musical and social communities? And what role does the internet play in all of this? We invited the Berlin-based DJ duo Surf 2 Glory of Club Heart Broken and Venus Vessels to talk about their experiences navigating this shifting landscape.Electronic Beats Weekly is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Hosts: OttO Kent & JubaProducer: Aaron GonsherEdit and Sound Design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel Woop Hosted on Acast.
