berlin-electro

berlin-electro.de is an one man project about ebm / industrial music -especially in berlin/germany - and at this time just a hobby. at 26.07.2004 i start this project - at first on an aol webspace. this time thename www.berlin-electro.de does not exist but at 26.08.2004 the project startsas an site with concert pcitures and private pictures. from time to time i put some new features on my site - guestbook, forum andlinks. summer / autumn 2005 my favourite club (MusicHall) closed and i'm looking for another location. i ask myself: where i can go now? that was the reason for me, tocreate the section PARTY (with dates and adresses) and KONZERTE. but this was not enough for me. now i create the galerie with fotos fromconcerts i have visit, write some cd reviews, put in the cd releases andconcert reports (with a little help of my girlfriend). sometimes you candownload the pictures in the DOWNLOAD section. one time in the month i collectall the information in a short version in my newsletter. friends and some berlin musicians say about my homepage: ...cool - it's like adiary.

 

Black Rain

Gerald has been part of the so called gothic scene since 1988, and from 1994 on he did some management for several bands. From 1997 1999 he was co-editor of the fanzine Rebell!! and did some DJ jobs. Since Gerald had been unsatisfied with the local alternative music scene, he founded this label in 1998/99. He does not consider Black Rain as a pure production plant but as a platform for artists who are worth it to be published for an interested audience. In contrast to other labels it is not our aim to set up contracts in order to restrict and limit the artists creative freedom to a minimum. In the year 2000, our sub-label NOITEKK was founded. It is directed by our friend Marco and is home of great acts like Tactical Sekt, Psyclon Nine, Grendel, Aslan Faction and many more. In 2001, ARS MUSICA DIFFUNDERE was founded, being home for bands like Novalis deux, Kutna Hora, Predella Avant and more. FUNKWELTEN, our label for experimental and chill-out sounds was raised in 2003. Here you can find acts like Flint Glass, echoRausch, For a Space and Polyspace.We definitely only release music for quality and cultural reasons and we do not care about any political or religious matters. This results in the fact that we only distribute bands and projects of which musical quality we are really convinced of. We always have worked with newcomers, because for us it does not matter if a band is famous or not. And this will not change in the future. Our slogan: quality not quantity. With this slogan we cover the whole variety of DarkWave, Industrial, Electro, NeoFolk, NeoClassic, Experimental, Ambient and Gothic.The name Black Rain is not to be seen as the use of the two words "black" and "rain" in a trivial sense but more as a metaphor. A black and strange rain, which pierces through everything and everyone, and nobody can escape its influences...
