Chris Bekker - Berlinition - The Album / The FilmPop quiz… Name the sound architect for Mercedes-Benz, NHOW Hotels and VisitBerlin? A stretch, we know. Let’s try resident DJ for Berlin’s notorious den of electronic dance inequity, the Kitkat Club? Nada!? Ok, regular soundtracker of fashion designer Guido Maria Kretschmer’s runway shows and remixer of artists as diverse as Giorgio Moroder and Paul van Dyk perhaps? Owner of the respected klang ID sound agency and lecturer in Neuro Marketing & Sound at two of Berlin’s top universities? Alright, (titan-sized hint then!), the man who has, over the last 18 months, been behind a procession of genre-straddling, VANDIT-originating club & chart hits!? ‘Berlinition’ isn’t a rash attempt to stylistically summarize it though. Nor is it a token auditory postcard or ‘love note’ to the city. It’s one that’s thematically & atmospherically designed to soundtrack a top-to-toe journey through it. Forthcoming through VANDIT Records - Watch the trailer for Berlinition – The Movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Hc6ds4xqg Having received its premiere on the catwalks of Berlin Fashion Week back in January, title track ‘Berlinition’ marks Chris’ first collaboration with PvD. It’s a track that against the odds manages to fold the city’s opaqueness into 7 gripping minutes. From the Fernsehturm-high altitudes (and attitudes) of tracks like ‘Heimat B’ & ‘Goldelse’, to the wide stylistic lens of ‘Noland’ and ‘We Can Be’, the album details Berlin. Traversing from the sprawling urban feel of ‘Uferstrasse’ to the more centre-centric ‘Moabeat’ and ‘Iconic’, it brilliantly captures both Berlin’s crux and atmosphere. A theatre for ear and eye, the extraordinary ‘Berlinition is out through VANDIT Recordings on July 15th. 01 Heimat B 00:00-05:54 02 Berliniton w/PvD & Montana 05:54-11:01 03 Convolution 11:01-17:46 04 Goldelse 17:46-23:56 05 Noland 23:56-28:33 06 We Can Be w/Tricia McTeague 28:33-34:07 07 Animatic 34:07-39:28 08 Iconic 39:28-43:58 09 Uferstrasse w/Sequ3l 43:58-49:13 10 Moabeat 49:13-55:00 11 Hashtag Wunder w/Pagano 55:00-60:22
