What does the music that brings these stormy times sound like?

That’s what we wanted to know from the Berlin musicians and have called for submissions for the 13th cross-genre listen to berlin compilation. On the compilation, we release 18 songs each year, which a jury of experts selects from these submissions: Here you can find the artists* of the listen to berlin Compialtion 2020/21, but special situations require special measures: Due to the difficult situation for Berlin artists* during the Covid crisis and in view of the enormous amount of exciting submissions, we have decided to exclusively release a bonus compilation with 16 unusual tracks this year to give the artists* an additional platform. listen to berlin 2020/21 “Unexpected Sounds” presents particularly innovative and experimental sounds that challenge established listening habits – fitting for a year in which seemingly all conventions are being renegotiated.
