# #gHashtag warms up Berlin for Drop Dead Festival The Berlin-based **BL4CK M4G1CK** collective, creators of the popular-underground [**PURGE**][1] bleakrave events, are returning for their genre-reconceptualist party [#gHashtag][2] (pronounced like GASH). They're joined by the creator of the international art music festival Drop Dead, now celebrating its 10th anniversary and in Berlin for the second year in a row, who is launching her new party **The Future Was Now**. Described as the kind of party where you can hear just as much coldwave as grime, it's a theme that's perfectly in tone with a festival as diverse as Drop Dead (the 30+ band lineup includes **[Pictureplane][3], [Crim3s][4], [Deathface][5]**, **Black Rain**, and **Dandi Wind** as well as '80s underground legends like **Lene Lovich, Sad Lovers & Giants**, and **Kas Product**) and after [last year][6] we definitely can't wait for more. The party, which is being launched as a warmup for Drop Dead's [October 31-November 4th dates][7], takes place Saturday the 29th in Neukölln's vast CUBE club and features two floors. The #gHashtag side, which has the support of **[Sick Girls][8]**, Small But Hard's **[Die Soon][9]**, and **[Dreea][10]** (who you might recognize as **Zebra Katz**'s recent DJ support), will likely be playing quite a lot of goth, future screw, hip-hop and aggressive bass, while we can expect more of a dark electro vibe from The Future Was Now (their live performances include Philly-based psychedelic house-rapper [**Mr. Manic**][11] and Greek post-punk act [**†**{::}**Flesh United**{::}**†**][12]). Whether you're into dark, witchy fog music or booty-twerkin' bass, this party has you covered. It's definitely our weekend pick, so we suggest you [RSVP][13]{: target="_blank"} now.
