# Future Sound of Leipzig: Inside Germany’s Best New Club [Institut fuer Zukunft][1]{: target="_blank"} appeared on our radar since it opened in Leipzig a few years ago. The club has swiftly become one of [Leipzig's best party spots][2]{: target="_blank"} and an integral actor in the city's lively punk-indebted nightlife scene. IfZ was built DIY-style from an abandoned factory, and its forward-thinking attitudes---as well as its killer Kirsch Audio sound system---have made them a favorite for those seeking progressive party bookings and regular nights, including dark techno riot [Vertigo][3]{: target="_blank"}, the beautifully queer [Lumière Bleue][4] and futuristic bass rager [Cry Baby][5]{: target="_blank"}. The club also participates in activist efforts to do with gender issues by hosting occasional film screenings, fetish workshops and socio-political events, which echoes the founding collective's punk roots and the Leipzig underground's mentality. In our three-part series Future Sound of Leipzig, we'll be introducing you to members of the IfZ collective, presenting mixes, photos and interviews from a dedicated group of music lovers shaping the next generation of ravers and freaks. https://soundcloud.com/electronic-beats-radio/eb-special-future-sound-of-leipzig-subutan The series launches with [Subʞutan][6]{: target="_blank"}. Blending beats with field recordings, samples and drones, his transportive sets are the sort of vibes you rarely hear in clubs. "DJing is almost intimate for me; something very personal." says the native Leipziger. "Where words might fail, music is my form of expression. It's also a kind of excess pressure valve, indispensable." His deep, exclusive mix showcases this mental ethos strongly: "I put a lot of small details---field recordings, spoken words. Now and then a hopeful melody sound penetrates through the walls." There's no tracklist on this one, so imagine it as a story unfolding in your ears, each piece a part of the last. *IfZ will feature [a special Halloween edition on Friday Oct. 30th with Aïsha Devi and Pictureplane][7]{: target="_blank"}.
