# PURGE: Berlin Blackness
Berlin may be the unofficial home of techno, but some crave a different
kind of party. A party of aggressive sounds, crushing bass, black acid
and trance-inducing drones. Three local promoters have decided it's time
for a change. In November, BL4CK M4G1CK,
**[Gegen][1]**, and **[Gucci Goth][2]** (aka Electronic Beats' own
editor [Daniel][3]) are launching their new monthly party **PURGE**.
Seeking to encourage spasms, violent dancing and (according to their
press release) "the end of party apathy", the theme is a combination of
industrialized electronics, post-hardcore influenced dubstep, deathmetal
rave, and witched-out hip hop; from **SALEM** to **WOLD**, they'll be
taking us on a journey through sonic evil.
**PURGE promo video directed by [dieLAMB][4] and xorxyzt**
**PURGE Vol. 1** *November 10th*
Along with their combined DJ might, the trio will be joined by **Easton
West** ([Sons of Cataclysm][5]) and two singular live acts. **Bruises**
is the new project from **reliq** members Carolin and Phillip, somewhere
between an acid-addled **PJ Harvey** and **Jarboe** at her strangest.
Headlining the show is the Australian group **HTRK**, hypnotic cold
bleakness to slow the pulse to the point of expiration.

**PURGE presents C3R3MØNY** *November 18th*
For a more ritualistic take on the magick that is PURGE, the trio are
also presenting the unholy racket of Burial Hex and
the **Black Magick Ensemble**, which also features reliq members as well
as Berlin-via-Paris okkvlt noisemaker **Jonny Teardrop**. Joining the
PURGE DJs on the decks is **Opium Hum** ([?][7]) and **decent** from one
of our favorite art-bars [O Tannenbaum][8].

**Tom Ass (Gegen) PURGE mix**
If you've been feeling the new wave of darkness that we've been feeling,
then hopefully you're as excited as us about this. Come November, we're
putting on our best draped black and descending into a world of 808s,
fog and throbbing lows so low that our souls will never be the same.
