Over the course of June, we brought together the scene's leading trailblazers to share their unique vision of progression. From the communities pathing the way to a more inclusive ecosystem to those breaking new ground in tech.

For those looking to hone in on their skills as an entrepreneur, Freddy Masters from Keep Hush and Sandy Hagenback AKA Dr Banana talk about everything you need to know in order to start your own brand in music, and what role our community plays in the future of music. 

NFTs and WEB3 are currently the hot topics across all platforms, however, are these really the gold rush or game changer? In this event, renowned DJ and label owner Plastician dives in to discuss alongside the team from IOM and SODAA.

Rounding the series off, Deforrest Brown Jr and Niks Delancy explore the interaction between America’s Black Techno scene and the UK’s white-dominated scene.

For The Record – Creating Your Own Music Brand w/ Freddy Masters (Keep Hush) & Dr Banana

Freedom to Create is our six-part talk show broadcasting from Berlin-based radio station Refuge Worldwide.

The bi-monthly episodes explore themes of identity, migration and music creation through hour-long interviews curated and moderated by Chloe Lula.

On the third episode of Freedom to Create, Chloe Lula interviews Ukrainian-American artist Alinka. The producer and DJ—who is currently living in Berlin—immigrated to the US in the late ‘80s with her family, who lived as Jewish refugees in Chicago. Alinka eventually became a resident at Smartbar and began collaborating with Hercules and Love Affair’s Shaun J Wright, with whom she started the Twirl parties and label. Alinka has released on labels like Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, Need Want, Permanent Vacation, Harry Romero’s Bambossa Records and her newly launched second imprint Fantasy Life. She’s a regular DJ at Berghain. She and Chloe discuss the war in Ukraine, her experience growing up far afield from her roots and the healing power of music in times of personal and collective crisis.
