Mechanical precision meets psychedelic euphoria across his catalogue for Kompakt, The Bunker NY, Figure and fabric, plus his own WIP imprint. His sound has continued to evolve with My Supernova, his 2025 album on Dekmantel, that pushes into immersive, expansive territory, packed with head-melting creativity and unexpected moments of release....

inTension returns to Control Club, this time diving deep into the faster, harder side of Trance. This edition we are joining forces with the Romanian Trance Family for a high-energy journey through Trance and Tech Trance, bringing soaring melodies, driving basslines and hypnotic tunes for a night built around pure rave energy....

On Thursday, November 26, Arab Strap arrive at Control for their first-ever show in Romania, bringing with them a new album set for release later this year: Half-Told Tales. Three decades in, Malcolm Middleton and Aidan Moffat still sound like nobody else. What began in 1995 as lo-fi intimacy, post-rock drift, and brutally personal storytelling has kept mutating ever since, from romance and ruin to something wider, stranger, darker, and unexpectedly funny....

On Saturday, November 28, DELUXE arrive at Control with moustaches, boundless energy and an unwavering commitment to a good time. Discovered by Chinese Man after their early days as street musicians, the French collective has spent the last 15 years following curiosity rather than convention, ignoring genre boundaries and believing that music has the power to bring joy, connection, and a bit of lightness when we need it most....

The KVB return to Control on December 12 with a detached, retro-chic electronic pulse that hits like a melancholic sledgehammer. Blending reverb-soaked production with minimalist electronics, the KVB's ever-evolving cold wave always reflects their mastery of atmosphere. On early releases such as 2012's debut album Always Then, Kat Day and Nicholas Wood's brittle beats and sonic blasts evoked Cabaret Voltaire and the Jesus and Mary Chain in equal measure....

ALT Jazz’s final instalment of 2026 brings yet another showcase of modern jazz talent to the Berlin Room of Control Club on December 14th. Ill Considered are a band comprising of musicians interacting with each other to create freely improvised music, based loosely around simple pre-written themes or composed on the spot....
