On friday, 13th, our trip through extravagant music arrives its peak at Suicide Circus!
MIKA VAINIO, currently based in Berlin, was one half of the minimal electronic duo Pan Sonic from Finland, (the other half was Ilpo Väisänen). Before starting Pan Sonic in the beginning of the 90's Mika Vainio has played electronics and drums as part of the early Finnish industrial and noise scene. His solo works, under his own name and under aliases like Ø, are known for their analogue warmth and electronic harshness. Be it abstract drone works or minimal avant techno, Vainio is always creating unique, physical sounds. His artistic work is famous not only in the club scene but also highly acclaimed in the international art scene since he does not only make noisy drones for the clubs but also performances of honking cars and such things. We eagerly await his show for Krake that we expect to be MASSIVE!

Second live act to headline that night is LEGOWELT, an internationally acclaimed artist whose musical scope ranges from jacking acid to harmonic electro, obscure & romantic with a strong love for ghetto tech. An interesting and intense performance of dance music is to be expected.
GLOBAL GOON, EOD, and the legendary ambient dj MIXMASTER MORRIS are all well known avantgarde musicians. Each of them with a very particular style, highly respected and very rare to be seen in Berlin.

Krake brings them altogether and adds some strong visuals of LASAL, a visual artist recently travelling the whole world with his extraordinary abstract video art.
The residents and supporting djs round this night up to a strong injection of good music.
