Ellen Allien 's BPitch Control label will hit double figures this year.
In order to celebrate the occasion, Ellen will joined by various artists from the label for shows in Germany and the Netherlands later this month, with another date planned to coincide with next month's Sonar festival in Barcelona. Kiki and Thomas Muller will kick things off with their respective live sets at Leipzig's Distillery on Wednesday 20th May, while the Eindhoven date ten days later sees Kiki get the boot in favour of BPitch's moustached mango man Sascha Funke . Allien, Funke and Kiki will all be present at BPitch's off-Sonar party at Nitsa on June 20th, and they'll be supported by a live set from Telefon Tel Aviv , and a DJ set from actual Tel Aviv resident Chaim .
The final leg of the BPitch birthday tour sees the gang return to Leipzig for the Melt! Festival, where they'll take over the Big Wheel stage on the Saturday. As well as all of the usual BPitch crew, Allien has roped in DJ Hell , James Holden , Tobias Thomas , Matias Aguayo and Innervisions' A Critical Mass live show to help her celebrate. As if that wasn't enough, the following day will see BPitch carry on the party on the Sleepless Floor, going all the way through from 7am to 2pm on Monday with the help of Dinky , Ruede Hagelstein and Panorama Bar resident nd_baumecker amonst many others. For ardent BPitch fans, it looks like Melt! is indeed going to be a very sleepless festival.
