22:00 | Ben Klock (Germany) |
|
|
|
|
 Berlin native Ben Klock is highly regarded for his powerful, expertly paced DJ sets as well as his stripped-down, tension-heavy techno productions. A key resident DJ at Berghain since early 2005, Klock has released much of his music through the iconic club's Ostgut Ton imprint, including the underground hits "Dawning" (with Marcel Dettmann) and "Subzero," as well as the influential 2009 full-length One. Known for performing marathon sets at the most state-of-the-art sound systems in the world, his near-constant work schedule has brought him to intimate clubs as well as festival stages. He's also contributed to numerous mix CD series and podcasts, and he was responsible for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix of the Year in 2015. Additionally, Klock runs the no-nonsense minimal techno label Klockworks.

19:00 | Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Canada) |
|

 The instrumental multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You! Black Emperor create extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient crescendo building of the band's compositions results in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes narrative-like when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. First appearing during the late 1990s, the group's breakthrough came with 2000's majestic double-album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, which received widespread praise and has endured as an underground classic. After a lengthy hiatus, during which the group's members concentrated on numerous other projects, GY!BE returned with 2012's 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! and continued releasing funereal yet optimistic full-lengths like 2021's G_d's Pee At State's End! (Source: Allmusic)

17:00 | Grave Digger (Germany) |
|
|
|
|
 Part of the Teutonic thrash metal scene that sprang up in Germany in the early 1980s, Grave Digger originated as a speed metal outfit before marrying their love of American Bay Area thrash with melodic power metal in the '90s. Alongside contemporaries Accept, Helloween, Kreator, and Sodom, the band carved out a huge swath of regional sonic real estate, becoming one of Germany's elite metal institutions in the '80s and early '90s with career-making albums like Heavy Metal Breakdown, Witch Hunter, and Tunes of War. The late '90s saw the group shifting toward a more progressive and conceptual route with ambitious outings like Heart of Darkness and Excalibur. They continued to explore the fantastical into the next century with power metal-forward offerings like The Last Supper, The Clans Will Rise Again, and The Living Dead.
