DJ and writer Paul Hanford sets out on a journey across Berlin and meets with people whose lives and loves weave in and out of the rich tapestry of music that spans across this incredible city.Along the way, you'll meet former Syrian refugees becoming techno DJs; non-binary artists redefining musical and cultural borders and some of the city's finest menschen recounting tales from the pre-reunification bohemian west and the communist east; you'll be transported from squats to the music tech sector; from clubs to collectives and through this, the podcast aims to show you why Berlin has such a creative energy.The podcast was supported using public funding from the Arts Council Of England.Podcast music by Tom Giddins
