GRAVITY BERLIN #2: TALKS

SUPPORT UKRAINE

The Ukrainian people are in need of help. Those who are still in Ukraine and those who have fled the country. This is why we have joined forces with our friends and partners to raise funds. In addition, donations will be collected at the box office. All guests on our guest list are requested to pay 5 EUR as a contribution. The raised funds will be split equally between Ukraine Humanitarian Fund and Ukraine-Hilfe Berlin e.V.. Let us stand together, this madness must end!

Gravity Talks return's to Berlin with an array of industry professionals and experts to discuss ghost producing, safety and awareness of sex positive dancefloors, and the longevity of the scene’s recent transformations.

Baergarten at Revier Südost (Entrance next to RSO)

Reflection & Implementation in the Club Scene
Hosted by Christine Kakaire
– Kikelomo (Oroko Radio)
– Hendrik Wolff (Krake Festival)
– Max Fritz (Groove Magazin)

Our dancefloors have undergone a transformation since the reopening of nightlife 12 months ago. Now that critical yet traditionally overlooked elements of the scene have been repositioned at the forefront (awareness teams, politically positioned communities, new media platforms), the question remains: how do we ensure this is a holistic shift rather than a passing trend? With whom does this responsibility lie? And how can we integrate this in the face of economic instability?

Ghostwriting and Co-Producing
A legit way to create a next level track?
Hosted by Caroline Whiteley
– Raphael Pujol (Beatport)
– Sasha Elsewhere (Perera Elsewhere)
– Bradley Hutchings (Guava)

From Drake coming under fire for using ghostwriters to your favourite DJ being accused of not making their own tracks, it seems that ghostwriting is still taboo in the industry. And all of this becomes even murkier with the advent of artificial intelligence, questioning the artist's role altogether.

We sit with some of the industry's leading figures to discuss the benefits and pitfalls of ghost-producing, both from the perspective of the producer in the studio and the artist on stage. In the session we'll raise questions about supplementing your income streams, ownership, and the value our culture places on authenticity.

Sex positivity, Awareness & Safety on Our Dancefloors
Hosted by Amanda Sandström Beijer (Playful Magazine)
– Killa (Lecken)
– Karl (Klub Verboten)
– Rafi (TS Raver)

While Berlin has implanted itself as a hub for sex positive parties & liberating dancefloors, we’ve undergone a broad transformation in our party practices. The responsibility of running such events has many aspects: security, safer spaces, drug use and abuse: while we need to control the dancefloor in some ways, the core element, freedom, has gone through a multitude of changes with new structures and concepts.

How do we provide security while ensuring the hedonistic practices of the guests? What are the responsibilities of an awareness team and how should they cooperate with promoters and clubs? And finally, what can we learn from one another and how can we educate audiences? We chat with Berlin & London’s key figures of sex positive parties & awareness teams to find out.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Berlin’s RSO will hold the 5th edition of Gravity events, the series of club nights, discussions and educational formats organized within the framework of the international club scheme, a collaboration of Revier Südost, Warsaw’s Jasna1 and Prague’s Ankali.

Gravity Network aims to develop electronic music culture by creating a foundation for an expanding network of venues, which create a support structure in order to stimulate transnational mobility of selected local artists, and educate communities involved in the culture, as well as the public.
