STROOM Curates Unconventional Electronic Sounds at silent green
The Belgian imprint STROOM has built its reputation on unearthing beautifully unconventional music and bringing long-lost gems alongside contemporary discoveries to wider audiences, as noted in programming details from silent green. The label’s meticulous attention to detail and deep passion for electronic sounds anchor this Berlin showcase. Taking over the Kuppelhalle, the label positions two distinct sonic acts under one roof for a single evening.
Voice Actor steps into the program with conceptual framing drawn directly from their album release Lust (1). The accompanying text for the project explores agriculture not merely as toil and drudgery, but as a surprisingly sensual and playful activity. According to the album notes, the tactile experience of working the land, sowing seeds, and harvesting vegetables connects directly to the emotional and physical intimacy found in creative expression.
Matti Gajek Brings GDR Subcultures and Digital Textures to the Kuppelhalle
Sharing the bill is Matti Gajek, producing and performing under the stage name Gajek. Born in the GDR, Gajek reflects the emotional echo of historical ruptures and discontinuities in his music, exploring odd timelines, grief, ecstasy, weird youth cultures, hidden fashion codes, personal tragedies, and strange haircuts. Silent green outlines how Gajek remediates the forgotten archive of East German subcultures from a contemporary perspective, using high-energy digital compositions.
Gajek utilizes a unique production technique that fractures and inverses modern genres, emphasizing their out-of-jointness to create oscillating atmospheres combined with haunting lyrical work. Since 2014, Gajek has released five studio albums on labels including Stroom, Infinite Greyscale, and Throttle Records. Beyond his solo discography, he composes for films, theatre, exhibitions, and performances—including recent work on RP Kahl’s film The Investigation and Anna Zett’s short film Fear does not Exist. In 2022, Gajek also launched the mix series Socialist Realness on UK radio station Resonance Extra, focusing on avant-garde music produced in the GDR and shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Matti Gajek currently lives and works in Berlin.
