Certain People w/ Star Slinger, Niki & the Dove, Vondelpark
Star Slinger a.k.a. Darren Williams is one hell of a newcomer, and one hell of an act to continue our Certain People concert series at the Berlin-based Berghain. On his debut album, “Volume I“, the mix master from Manchester samples everything from Motown classics to British electro funk, thereby creating a dense homage of music history in the guise of a low-fi production conjured up in his very own bedroom.
Niki & The Dove describe their music as “flamboyant pop”. Indeed, the three-piece band from Stockholm doesn’t care about minimalistic arrangements in the slightest. In their hands, dark synth washes turn into massive tsunamis that only singer Malin Dahlström is able to conquer with her distinguished voice.
Vondelpark are rather drawn to fair and floating ambient pop instead. With sophisticated drumbeats and hypnotic vocals, the UK trio already gained praise from various blogs throughout the net without even running a social media profile of their own – quite impressive.
Certain People is presented by Melt! Booking and Berghain. The monthly concert series takes place on 12th January at the Berlin-based Berghain. Tickets are available at all well-known ticket shops.
