Berlin’s CTM Festival is on its way…
# Berlin’s CTM Festival is on its way… Those attuned to the rumblings of Berlin's musical under- (and overground) will know that it's not long until the 14th edition of CTM lands in Berlin, turning the city into a hub of forward-thinking electronic music performance and discussion---yup, even more so than usual. Taking place from 28 January until 2 February, it hosts an extraordinary line-up, covering the myriad offshoots and evolutions in contemporary electronic music and club culture in 2013... and beyond. Some of the acts confirmed to play in a variety of venues across Berlin include [**Pantha du Prince**][1], [**Andy Stott**][2], [**Matmos**][3], Lee Gamble, [Iceage][4], Holly Herndon and [Skream][5]**, **with [SunnO))) ][6]charged with closing the festival---which, frankly, is enough incentive to get a ticket in itself. There's also a showcase of [Bill Kouligas][7]' excellent **PAN** label** **at the Berghain, which promises to be unmissable. What's more, we're pleased to say that this year Electronic Beats are partners---and there's a strong EB presence in the program. Editor-in-chief [**Max Dax**][8] will be engaging in public conversations with **[Terre Thaemlitz][9]**, [**Emptyset**][10] and [U][11][we Schmidt][11] aka **Atom Heart**.  Elsewhere, senior editor Daniel Jones is gracing the line-up at Stattbad Wedding as **[BlackBlackGold][12]** alongside his spirit-brothers **[xorzyzt][13]** and **[Tom Ass][14]**. They'll be combining their parties (the bleak-bass **[PURGE][15]** and the ghetto-goth #[gHashtag][16]) for a deadly megaparty that includes, among others, [**Mykki Blanco**][17], **Gatekeeper**, ** ︻╦╤─ ƱZ ─╤╦︻**, **Necro Deathmor**t and **[Alec Empire][18]**. Electronic Beats will also be recording a number of shows to be aired via our EB Radio later. Stay tuned. You can find full line-up information and buy tickets by heading over to the CTM website.
