- Watch Resident Advisor's new video on the recent storm of strikes, cancellations and clauses involving Berlin nightlife.
Narrated by local journalist Matt Unicomb, the five-minute explainer examines why showing support for the Palestinian cause can be particularly fraught in Berlin, and how this has impacted the city's world-famous club scene.
Why did local cultural centre Oyoun have its funding pulled? Why did the Berlin Senate introduce-and then retract-a clause requiring recipients of public funding to comply with a specific definition of antisemitism? And what's this all got to do with DJs like Jyoty and Kampire cancelling gigs at CTM Festival?

02:14 Introduction of the anti-discrimination clause

Let's stop being proud of where we are from, and start being proud of what we can accomplish as human beings
😂😂😂😂😂
pride is overrated, integrity is pride without the bragging, it's also impossible to truly have in a monetary economy
This is such a typical overprivileged and Westernized thing to say. It's so easy to pontificate when where you are from is not being systematically eradicated or taken advantage of by wealthier nations

@@channelformusic759 So you recommend becoming Identitarians instead? lol
Thanks RA!
Thanks @RA for speaking about this debate (when other outlets cower) and elevating the voices of the artist community at large, who wants nothing more than to abolish systems of oppression and to encourage more artists from all over the world, including peace loving Palestinian and Israeli, to share love and humanity. An artist's role is to always express themselves without fear of censorship, outside or self.
RA also plugs events at About Blank, Golden Pudel, and Conne Island all german proponents of Israeli ethnonationalism and supporters of colonisation.
Thanks RA
Great piece RA, thank you for sharing!
It is great to see that artists are standing up for others, and also that the Senate was apparently wise enough to listen to the voices against that clause!
This is how we move forward!
try again, clubs like about blank, conne island, and golden pudel are long time allies of apartheid in the middle east. most dj's continue playing them or defend them.
Track Id?
Dear DJs: Please boycott us Germans over this, unless you're invited by some real Pro-Palestinian group that doesn't get any money from the state.
I wish these "Palestine supporters" would be just as loud (or even louder) against Hamas and the intolerant islamic doctrine. Wishful thinking I'm afraid :(
Hamas does not equal Palestine.
Israel does not equal Judaism.
"As of 30 January 2024, over 28,000 people (26,637 Palestinian and 1,410 Israeli) have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war"
This is not a war on equal footing.
I wish you would read a book instead of just being loud. Wishful thinking I'm afraid :(
@@hyphdawg So we both wish the Palestinian people would never have supported Hamas, so they would never have started a war. You should cry about Hamas way way way more than about Israel. They started the war. But you're not doing that. I wonder why. :)
@@Canaris starting a war does not mean your enemies get to commit genocide.
@@jesipohl6717 The Palestinian people should be deeply ashamed that they support(ed) Hamas. It is shameful. Once again mulims show the world that all they can do is terrorism. It's truly disgusting. And now they play the victim and cry about a supposed "genocide". It's not a genocide. It's a war that the Palestinians started and they are now losing it.
@@jesipohl6717 Muslims love playing the victim. There is no genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians started this war. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Just look at the islamic world. Full of intolerance, backwardness and terror. Truly shameful.
A five minute video about three DJs cancelling their gigs and a strike that nobody outside of the bubble of the striking persons notices?
aight
exactly, the most important thing was apparently to mention Berghain (without telling the story behind) to get more clicks…
@@kkkanal Classic RA, continue promoting arabophobic clubs like Golden Pudel, Conne Island, and About Blank, but pretend to care by attacking a commercially successful club that does not have these problems.
I understand the video and the msg you are trying to spread.although this is not really music related besides some silly djs pulling out of gigs for political reasons. Embarrassing, and it’s even more embarrassing how political techno music has become. You go to these parties to escape the world no matter of your religious views or skin colour or gender or what is going on in your life we do this to unite and come together but now all i see is divide and conquer. We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing these things in the world to get in between our unity to be one on the dance floor.
there is a big difference between being non-political and apathetic. The DJs that are opposed to the agreement being forced on state-funded cultural centres have every right to make cancellations and let their voices be heard, especially in this case, where their protest is gaining results. The silly DJs are the ones that grab the money and care nothing for ethics.
"no matter of your religious views or skin colour or gender or what is going on in your life we do this to unite and come together"
uhhhhhhh yeah this is exactly what those silly djs are fighting for
you can't turn off the way other people read your gender and skin colour, only people who have never had to hide these things think techno is getting too political.
RA: the magazine that ignored a massacre at a music festival but went all in on support for the perpetrators. You should be ashamed of yourself
All ethnonationalisms are equally evil.
they definitely reported on it.
"'We saw people getting shot': Survivors of Israeli psytrance festival share accounts of Hamas attack

next time do a lil research before mouthing off ok buddy
@@hyphdawg Yeah, but that was the only article on this topic and they reported about Gaza in a very partial manner ever since. Just look up the proportion of articles published. RA even pulled down events from their website where survivors talked publicly about their experience at the festival: "Don’t look away!" 24th January 2024 at About Blank. Additionally they failed to call Hamas what they are - a terrorist group - and instead called them a "Palestinian militant group" literally two days after the massacre at Supernova Festival.
@@gandalfderlaue 1. yes yr right, it is questionable that they took down the "Dont look away!" event. didn't know about that. strange that they would interpret that as a pro-Israel stance.
2. they are undoubtedly pro-Palestine but i think the reason why there are so many more articles about pro-Palestinian censorship and funding getting pulled is because nobody is getting silenced for being pro-Israel? at least not from an institutional or governmental level.
3. whether or not Hamas is a terrorist group is debatable and highly subjective. Nelson Mandela wasn't removed from USA terrorist lists until 2013. "Palestinian militant group" is actually more accurate and objective
@@hyphdawg Right to call the group that slaughtered 1200 people, most of them civilians, raped dozens of women, kidnapped children, burned down and looted homes terrorists would be "subjective". Real Nelsons Mandelas those friendly Islamists lol you must be joking, at least I hope so. Also no one is silenced for showing sympathy for the Palestinian people, but it becomes problematic when it turns into more or less blatant antisemitism and that usually happens very quickly in these discussions. I recommend you try to get out of your postcolonial filter bubble.
Israel ✊
ok buddy
Terror state
@@kinanhloubi1935 all states are terror states.
@@kinanhloubi1935 All ethnonationalisms are fascist.
so stay where u are scene dont need fckn religious activists..stay apolitic be human.. than got no problems whit gigs..for example at Berghain....LOVE
Who said these activists are religious?
humans r apolitic?
The definition of political is "anything relating to power", so until we have justice there is no apolitical.
That said, the biggest problem in the German club scene is not to be found at venues like Berghain, but rather clubs like About Blank, Golden Pudel, and Conne Island all of which support israeli aprtheid politics, an israeli ethnostate, and Conne Island even has had events directly glorifying the IDF.
Keep it non-political.
If you don't want to support Israeli ethnonationalism,
Do not visit
About Blank, Berlin
Golden Pudel, Hamburg
Conne Island, Leipzig
I'd tell you which clubs not to visit in terms of Palestinian ethnonationalism in germany,
. . . but no clubs support this.
Berghain actually contributes to antiviolence and antiwar programs in general.
thanks for sorting out the simple minds.
