  • Robyn, Aeroplane and Efdemin are among those appearing at the magazine's second bash in as many years at the club.
  • Spex returns to Berghain image
  • Long-running German publication Spex will take over all three floors of Berlin's Berghain on Wednesday May 12th. Those in the German capital this time last year may recall Spex magazine's pre-Ascension Day soiree at Berghain, which featured a sell-out Phoenix live show, DJ sets from Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Klock and DJ Hell, and a weird reggae intermission. Well, Spex are back for 2010, and have assembled a crew of performers in a not too dissimilar mold to that of 2009. Berghain will again open as of the early evening for the concert portion of the evening, which will give the chance for Robyn, High Places and Villagers to perform live. Fancied Austrian trio Elektro Guzzi are also billed to do their "live techno" thing, and will be joined by resident DJ Marcel Dettmann, Hyperdub duo Darkstar and Dial's Efdemin. Panorama Bar meanwhile, beckons Aeroplane and Trevor Jackson to climb up its stairs, with Will Bankhead & John Knight and Paddy O'Neill offering support. And the usually fetish-reserved Lab.oratory space will have its darkened enclaves helmed by Annie, Daniel Miller, nd_baumecker and Jan Kedves.
