Ellen Allien: queen of the night and of my adolescence. She’s been guiding us through the vibrant world of Berlinese techno with as much empathy as ever for 20 years now, no wonder she was known as the “Berlinette”, like the album of the same name that came out on her BPitch Control Records label in 2003. Her latest label, UFO Inc., is a primordial approach to contemporary techno founded in 2018 along with the WeAreNotAlone party which started out at Berlin’s Griessmuehle and then set off around the world.
The Berlinette, accompanied by visual artists Pfadfinderei, is back in Milan to play, dance and get us dancing. Who knows what kind of shamanic journey she’ll take us on this time. See you at Magazzini, another reminder of my adolescence.
