Galerie Parterre / Kulturinsel an der Danziger Straße,
Danziger Str. 101, 10405 Berlin

With inspiring bands and DJ sets, Sounds brings an afternoon long music festival to
Galerie Parterre at Kulturinsel on Danziger Straße.
Synthetic-atmospheric harmonies, metaphorical lyrics, rocking guitars, poetic word
images, and groovy chords create a musical melange that invites rapt listening and
energetic dancing. The musicians and DJ are equally at home in both the music and
visual art worlds.

SET is a new band project by visual artist Shira Orion and musician Nethaniel
Ratsaby (both formerly of EGONX) that combines a variety of artistic elements. They
compose and perform surrealist punk with German lyrics. SET’s songs are light and
refined, drawing on everyday symbols, experimental motifs, and pop accents. A
unique live performance experience is created by SET in collaboration with artist and
musician Johanna Schreier (Shreddy, Hot Chicks), and drummer Omri Gondor (The
Gondors).

German-New Zealand duo jesus wore double denim is singer songwriter Marie and
multi-instrumentalist and producer Frae. Their fresh, multifaceted sound draws
inspiration from bands including LCD Soundsystem, Sylvan Esso, and Air. The two
Berlin-based musicians impress with a unique brand of alternative pop that blends
electronic elements with catchy melodies and Marie’s warm, soulful voice. Their
sound can be playful, dark and introspective, and danceable — sometimes all at
once.

house, techno, energetic Eurodance, and progressive elements. Each DJ set is a
meticulously crafted narrative, an emotional journey from the deepest bass to the

highest crescendos. Paradiso’s tracks feature lush, atmospheric layers, pulsing
rhythms, and euphoric drops that electrify the dancefloor. Paradiso, who identifies as
queer, is on a mission to foster a sense of belonging and unity, transforming every
dance floor into a sanctuary of acceptance and celebration.
