Besides giving you some insight into our highlights from the 2026 programme for the CTM festival in Berlin, I’ve also made a playlist. It includes most of those artists as well other some others I think you need to hear – regardless if you’ll be attending or not. Like CDMX producer and sound artist Microhm, who’s also a co-founder of the Interspecifics collective (who organised the great Forgotten Noise event in Berlin last year). Pain Magazine is the collaboration between Louisahhh, Maelstrom, and post-hardcore band Birds In Row – we featured their album last year. Not to mention Net Gala who is one of the central figures in the Seoul underground scene that also includes ETIC, whom we just featured.
