BERLIN MUSIC DAYS / Fly Bermuda Festival / November 2nd to 5th

Following hot on the electronic heels of October’s Amsterdam Dance Event, the clubbing community will shift focus this November to dance capital of the world, Berlin. For its third consecutive year running, independent dance fest BerMuDa / Berlin Music Days will feature a comprehensive and eclectic smorgasbord of exhibitions, workshops, panels and parties to nourish the hungry movers, shakers and ravers of the dance industry over four fun-filled days.

BerMuDa was created by the originators of the worldwide renowned Watergate Club. Steffen Hack, Ulrich Wombacher and Niklas Eichstädt thought it was time to establish an authentic festival for electronic music which originated from Berlin’s clubs.
The city isn’t crowned as the world capital of electronic music for nothing and nowhere else can you find so many artists, booking agencies, clubs and labels from this genre. These favourable factors should also be utilized to preserve and further establish Berlin’s economic standpoint for music so that its cultural landscape can flourish.

After a successful start in 2009 the unique electronic music club-festival Berlin Music Days-short BerMuDa- will attract thousands of clubbers, ravers, musicians, label managers and artists from all over the world this year. In 2010 around 50.000 people came to the city to experience the 40 different locations with over 100 DJs, live-acts and a stack of daily events.

The Berlin Music Days is clearly positioned as an independent Festival and is based on three pillars ;

During the day the BerMuDays offer a comprehensive programme that includes workshops, panels, lectures, exhibitions and fashion events around electronic music and its associated culture.

At nights the BerMuNights rules the city's dance floors. Night owls and music enthusiasts won’t go home disappointed with all the label nights, showcases and top-notch party events in Berlin’s hottest clubs and locations.

And to end on a high note...

The grand finale at Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport is the Fly BerMuDa on 5th November.

“It‘s a fact that electronic music has been and still is strongly influenced by Berlin. There is hardly any other city, in which this scene has developed in such a creative and diverse manner. There has grown a culture around electronic music that is unparalleled in the world. That is what Berlin musically stands for and that is what the Fly BerMuDa Festival is all about.”
