Fellow Earthlings,

In addition, we will gather in our home probe “Bermuda” for the launch of the interstellar transmitter to initiate the first contact together.
Presence is essential.

Findlinge is my first Album in ages and somehow the first one under the alias Octobird. It’s been quite a while now since I’ve started to keep a lot of my creations hidden in a little box while trying to connect them in all kind of combinations every once in a while. For this one I asked my good friend Max from Zanderhythm to help me with the puzzle and so he came up with this wonderful combination of tunes to take us on a journey.
Findlinge is a colorful psychedelic ride trough textures and rhythms. A dream within a dream within a dream, where you are still able to collect little gems and take them from one world into the other.
Like most of my music these tunes are very much based on different sampling techniques. Digging my vinyl collection for sounds between sounds and carving out hidden memories in dusty record grooves to reconnect them into emotional context.
So why not start collect your gem at Zanderhythm.com
Special thanks go to Salih Topuz for the great Mastering and Polina Ugarova for the amazing Artwork.
Freund:innen!
Die Luft ist flüchtig – durchschneiden wir sie mit den Schwingen der Kunst – halten inne & die Luft an – und genießen gemeinsam einen angenehm chaotischen Querschnitt durch die Berliner Subkultur.
Unberechenbare Winde haben dafür gesorgt, dass unser Lieblingsfestival in diesem Jahr eine Pause macht. So hat es uns an einen wonnereich gepflasterten Stadtstrand, im Kiez zwischen Ostkreuz und der Frankfurter Allee, gespült… Am 4. und 5. August soll von dort aus vielfältiger Sound ertönen, zum Kopfkratzen und Ausrasten, während wir uns am Labsal der edlen Weinbeere berauschen, unter tanzenden Schatten ausruhen und letztlich begeistert – oder entgeistert – die Sonne unter dem Pflaster suchend, frei wandeln.
Wir laden euch herzlich dazu ein, unerschrocken auch im Tanz mit den Hyaden – uns diese Welt einzubilden.. stellt euch das mal vor! Jetzt, am Wochenende!
Bis dahin, herzlichst – eure Kill Royal Weinbar
On the first weekend in June we will be celebrating the naming of the cultural Bermuda Triangle with a three-day festival here in Berlin/Friedrichshain. We will infect all your senses with jam sessions, art punks, acid breaks, creative workshops, theater performances, a marketplace and anything else your imagination can dictate.
We will have wonderful artists such as:
Vertical67 – DR. KONTRA – TXTX – Vodor L Zeck – Axiom – Briain – Kurihara – Raving Mad Carlos – Puppenmucke – Daniel Matz – and…sure..also some Octobird
The exact location is hidden on the flyer. Just follow the “Merkelraute” (like you did for so many years 😉
Can you guess where it is?
The events are running:
Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m
Saturday from 3 p.m. to 6 a.m
Sunday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m
Free Entry, hope to see you all there!
Next weekend we’ll have some magic Bass & Breaks at our favourite space in space again.
Come around! It’s all free / donation based.
We’re getting the first proper temperatures here in Berlin. A good chance to spend a day at the historic RAXXXHAUS. Starting at 4pm we will have food, screen printing, tatoos and a shitload of music.
There will be a whole bunch of Bands starting from 6pm and then DJ action from 1am.
I’m gonna provide the missing link between both worlds, playing an electronic Live Set around Midnight.
Everything for the good cause of keeping DIY spaces in FHain alive!
For more info come over to the Vetomat Website!
Freitag der 13.01.2023 from 8pm @ 8KW , Kietzer Weg 8 (LichtenHain)
Zanderhythm presents “Acidcake Skating Through Your Brain” with Octobird und Vodor L Zeck
If you thought we present our new movie we have to dissapoint you. Its just Ocotbird and Vodor L Zeck playing muzik for you the whole night.
Vodor L Zeck kicks of his european tour in Berlin on Friday the 13th, cause there is no better date to start a tour into the unknown. Come together at 8KW and have a dance to some Acidish Braindancy IDMish Electro 4 to the floor breaks house music 🙂
Oh how I miss these dirty club nights! Plunging into a muddy sludge of sweat and adrenaline, floating on the far-reaching waves of kick drums. Even in a city like Berlin there hasn’t been much going on in the last 2 years apart from one or two pub discos and private raves on trashy improvised sound systems. Anyway, we’ll still mark this one as a hope-inspiring warm-up exercise. Keep the dream alive!
TRACKLISZT:
Phew! It’s already been 6 months since my last appereance on Pr0gramma with my Bimstein EP and obviously I went back into the ethernet shadows after that. Not really – I rather went into the shadows of my studio racks, taking a recent mixture of changes and chances as an inducement to rebuild my studio setup. And as a result of some quite drastic setup changes there also went quite some time into learning new machines and software and teach them to communicate with each other.
So let’s take a few steps back and remember where we took off, shall we?! Back in April I had my last appearence on Austin Cassels radio show. And while it’s rather unlikely…maybe some of you missed that one. If that’s you…or if you just wanna listen back to some Octobird stuff, here is the set I played on Austin’s show:
