Editor's review
Allien's latest project adds fresh evidence to Berlin's claims as the hippest city on earth. Collaborating with "Time Out," the electronic chanteuse has assembled a sonic guide to the Berlin she knows, one where minimalist techno beats set the pace and David Bowie wails in German.
Biography
“This new CD/DVD series from Time Out (of magazine and guidebook fame) takes artists/musicians/creatives from metro areas around the globe and has them act as tour guides for the “other side” of their city – the cool/interesting/weird establishments they frequent in their actual lives.” -Fader
“Pop this in your suitcase along with your translation book and currency converter and you’ll be good to go.” -Tokion
“These are insights so intimate that residents of the cities profiled might actually get defensive over the exposure of their hitherto secret spots.” -Nylon
On April 28th, Time Out and Deaf Dumb and Blind Recordings release Ellen Allien - The Other Side Berlin. The fourth installment in the Other Side series features the critically acclaimed Ms. Allien’s personal guide to Berlin’s sights, sites and sounds. Her diverse audio tour includes tracks from the infamous Detroit techno innovators Carl Craig and Plastikman, Germany’s funky minimal Bookashade, David Bowie’s German rendition of Heroes (Helden) & Ellen’s own track from her latest release Orchestra of Bubbles.
A hometown hero, Ellen Allien started the BPitch Control Party Series and founded the ubercool label BPitch Control Records. On her 2 hour-plus DVD, Ellen shows you her personal Other Side of the city she knows and loves.
With the Other Side, a new generation of immersive travel guide is upon us. Deaf Dumb & Blind Communications, a new progressive and multi-faceted entertainment company, teams up with internationally recognized travel guidebook and weekly magazine publisher Time Out to produce a series called The Other Side — an CD/DVD experience that submerses its listeners/viewers entirely below the city’s surface.
