Ellen Allien has announced a tour in the EU and UK this summer and ahead of this physical tour, she will be live-streaming tonight (27 May) at 8pm CEST (7pm BST) from Kraftwerk Berlin. Kraftwerk Berlin is a former power plant turned techno club where many exhibitions and live shows have plenty of space to take place. So it’s the perfect place for the techno giant to perform. Even if you are watching online, you can get a feel for the experience you may have had if you were dancing in the crowd, except you will actually be able to watch Allien work her magic the entire time. In an interview with Electronic Groove, the ‘Leave Me Alone’ artist explains, “The music I am playing is the most important action here in my streamings. I love to play tunes, unreleased tracks, and edits I did. It’s a platform where we can dance together at the same time all around the world…which keeps our vibe alive.”
The DJ has been very busy this year; this livestream is one of many she’s done this year, playing sets throughout April, and her most recent livestream on 1 May from her balcony. She also released a new album, ‘Auraa Rmxs 1′ back in March. These remixed four songs from her 2020 album ‘Auraa’. And her reasoning behind creating these pieces is something we can all relate to: frustration with COVID. As the BPitch founder chatted with Limited Clubbing, she shared her inspiration: “On AurAA many of the tracks are about the world we live in and things that are more important to me… vibes. Energies we feel and the feeling of living with covid.” In spite of all of the restrictions, Allien has continued to share her music with the world virtually, and will soon be able to do so in-person.
Her tour will start in Moscow on 12 June and end at the Riverside Festival in Glasgow on 5 September, making stops in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Croatia along the way. You can purchase tickets on her website here, and find the list of dates below.
