ARTIST INTRODUCTION #10: KLEE ( Bodypainting )

I have always loved art. As a kid, I would sometimes be painting and drawing for hours on end. Attracted by the idea of becoming an art piece myself, a few years ago, I started as a bodypainting model, being painted for up to eight hours from head to toe by a good friend of mine. Thereupon, I have been modeling at Symbiotikka and Mystic Rose (KitKat).

Bringing the different passions together, for a year now, I have taken the bodypainting brushes into my own hand and have been painting the guests at Symbiotikka, Mystic Rose, VENUS (KitKat) and ArtDicction (Der Weiße Hase). My designs are often very organic and floral, but I can also paint certain motives, if you wish, or color your tattoos and make them stand out even more. You can recognize me by my elf ears which I wear as a trademark when painting.

I look forward to getting to know you and making your bodies shine!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #9: ELA ( ART EXHIBITION)

Elzbieta “Ela” Zdunek is a writer and collage artist specializing in digital, predominantly grayscale compositions. Both in her written and visual works, she aspires to create a confusing, immersive experience. In particular, she is exploring themes such as confusion and resentment about one’s own identity and the subjectivity of perspective, shaped by traumas and history, drawing inspiration from silent films and historical theater. She has exhibited amongst others in Omnibus Gallery and Chromart Art Space. Her artwork has been published in magazines such as The Adroit Journal, The Maintenant Dada, and Heckmag.

One of the biggest questions Ela asks herself is what exactly makes us ‘us’, and how many different people we are, depending on the context. Context, that is not and can never be objective.

Her work zeros in on the concept of external perception and subjective interpretation of roles that we are voluntarily playing and those that we’ve been assigned to. External opinions that label or dismiss – alongside unattainable and contradictory expectations – are the common thread in her whole body of work. Her aim is to portray the pervasive doubt, paranoia, feelings of inadequacy and not belonging, and the relentless public scrutiny that encompasses every aspect – from appearance to choices to opinions.

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #8: EXTERIOR SOUND ( Interactive Live Visuals )

David, aka Exterior Sound, is an innovative audio-visual artist who seamlessly blends technology and creativity to craft captivating experiences. His passion lies in creating immersive art installations that transport viewers into alternate realities. Through the use of cutting-edge new media technologies, such as AI and VR, David constructs dynamic environments that engage the senses and provoke thought.

His collaborative spirit has led him to work with renowned institutions and projects, including Monom, 4DSound, LEDPulse, and the Brandenburger Tor Museum. These partnerships have enriched his artistic practice and allowed him to push boundaries. The heart of David’s projects revolves around the intricate relationship between humans and machines. His installations explore the interplay of technology, consciousness, and existence. Additionally, he delves into real-world physics-based simulations, creating immersive encounters that challenge our perceptions.

David’s work not only captivates the eyes and ears, but also encourages us to reflect on our place in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. His art invites viewers to question, wonder, and immerse themselves in the ever-shifting boundaries of creativity.

We are very excited that Exterior Sound will enrich the music experience by his high-quality interactive art installation at Reflective Sounds goes KitKat #7. Be curious and dare to get involved!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #7: ROLLIN MC ( Very Unimportant People ) & BLK | DMN ( Banana Bass Music )

Rollin MC ( Very Unimportant People )

Rollin MC is a deep and minimal bass music lover and passionate MC. He has been producer and promoter since 2002. As a part of Very Unimportant People, he is co-organizing and hosting event series such as Easy_easy, Klanggut, and VUP Transmission. Rollin MC also belongs to the DnBinBerlin administration. And he is still growing, still hungry!

BLK | DMN ( Banana Bass Music )

Behind the alias hides none other than our co-founder and resident DJ Dirty Plates. His passion for writing lyrics goes way back to his high-school days, when listening primarily to Hip Hop, German and English Rap, and Nu-Metal. But until recently, he never ventured onto the stage.

Shortly after being introduced to the Berlin DnB scene in 2005/2006, he quickly got attracted to shows or mixtapes that contained MCs and found a lot of inspiration from well-known artists like MC Eksman, Skibadee (RIP), or Harry Shotta, to name just a few.

When writing down lyrics while listening to DnB mixes just for fun, BLK | DMN never really intended to perform in front of people. However, after having shared his writings with his good friend HighThere, he got pushed by him with just the right amount of support. Together they worked on their collab track ‘Nan Slapper’ which got released on Banana Bass Music in 2022. That’s when “Black Demon” was born, as you may pronounce his name. But you may also just say it letter by letter, since DMN are the initials of his real name. 😉

With a couple of shows played in Halle (Saale) and Leipzig, to support Banana Bass Music events, and practicing his lyrics over and over again, BLK | DMN finally feels ready for giving his debut in his hometown Berlin!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #6: DIRTY PLATES ( Banana Bass Music / BPM / Reflective Sounds / UTM Records / VOID Berlin )

After several events we did within the last two years, there is not much left to say about Reflective Sounds co-founder Dirty Plates. His style is variant and his sets are as diverse as Drum & Bass itself. From Jungle over the melodic sounds of Liquidfunk up to fully energetic Neurofunk, Dirty Plates loves not only to play, but also to combine everything his favorite music genre has to offer - always in a harmonic and soulful way. Over a decade of experience behind the decks helps him to always catch the vibe of the crowd, triggering reactions that let you see his shiny smile even through his mask.

As a resident of one of Berlin’s rare but widely loved DnB clubs, VOID, he is well known among ravers and promoters within the local scene. With multiple shows, played in countries like France, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands over the last few years, Dirty Plates now also has begun to extend his audience on an international level.

Ever since his debut release of the “Evil Shadows” EP on UTM Records by the end of 2023, Dirty Plates is motivated more than ever to contribute to the local and international DnB scene, always testing out new unreleased projects in his sets. So if you’re curious about what he’s working on at the moment, August 22 will be your best shot to get a glimpse at his freshest tunes!

We are looking forward to listening to another unexpected, but expectedly good and diverse set of Dirty Plates, and he is just as excited to share his latest music with you, supporting none other than BLADERUNNER at REFLECTIVE SOUNDS GOES KITKAT #7!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #5: ITZALETAN SUA ( Independent )

Itzaletan Sua (“Fire in the Shadow”), is a DJ and producer from the Basque Country who has been involved in the DnB and broken rhythms scene for the last decade. After having been present in the most important booths and raves in the country such as Dabadaba, Raverano, or Jarrera Klubb, he made the leap to the Berlin scene with VOID Club in 2018. Since then, he has regularly visited the city and played several shows.

With a deep sense for cymatics – a physical and acoustic phenomenon in which sound vibrates into visible patterns on surfaces like a plate, diaphragm, or membrane – Itzaletan Sua will delight us with a session that combines a refined mixing technique with live energy that will leave no one indifferent.

For our show, Itzaletan Sua will come to KitKatClub for the first time. And he has the firm intention to make the dancefloor burn with deep and dark basslines and a powerful combination of NuSkool and classic Jungle rhythms! Prepare your dancing shoes and energy for Itzaletan Sua, the Basque Fire in the Shadow!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #4: RESTLESS GHOST ( Banana Bass Music / Reflective Sounds / UTM Family )

Restless Ghost has always had a passion for fast and driving beats. Before she discovered Drum and Bass almost 10 years ago, she mainly listened to Hardcore and Punk. For over a year, Restless Ghost has been committed to DJing. Her style focuses on deep, minimalistic, and playful sounds, but also driving beats with technoid or atmospheric influences.

Restless Ghost is a member of Banana Bass Music (Leipzig) and also has become a member of the UTM Family (Dresden) in April 2022. Apart from that, you could see her play a decent amount of shows over the past few years and there are definitely many more to come!

ARTIST INTRODUCTION #3: SAGRIVOX ( Newcomer )

Born and raised in Berlin, Sagrivox has been a vivid listener of DnB for six years. She has been channeling her love for DnB through DJing for three years now, and made her club debut at VOID Club Berlin last year. Since then, she has regularly pumped her tunes at VOID, and had further gigs at Renate and Cassiopeia. Already with these shows, Sagrivox has won us fully over.

Her sets combine melodic Jungle, Jump Up, Neurofunk, and dancefloor bangers. As such, one of her most favorite tracks, she can’t get enough of playing, is the Dimension & Grafix remix of Offender.

We are very excited that Sagrivox will open our night at KitKat. There’s no doubt she will heat up the floor to the fullest. So come early to catch her amazing set full of love and fire! We can’t wait for it!

Skulder & Mully is a long-time DJ, drawn to the dark, deep, rolling, and eclectic styles of DnB, with releases on Identity Records, Off-Licence, Heavy Sonics, and Stoic Music. His productions, passion, and imprint on the darker and deeper side of the DnB community is constantly growing.

His set at Reflective Sounds goes KitKat #7 will consist of a thoughtful blend of his own dubs and a selection of current favorites. Look out for more releases in the near future from Skulder & Mully and enjoy some deep tech sonics.

HEADLINER INTRODUCTION #1: BLADERUNNER ( 36Hz / Creative Source / Critical / Dread / Formation / Grid / Souped Up )

There are very good reasons why Bladerunner is one of the biggest and most respected names in Jungle and Drum & Bass. It's not just the finely-honed production skills or his monumental DJ sets. It's not just the modest and humble personality that's endeared him to legions of supporters worldwide. At the core of Bladerunner's rise has been true, heartfelt authenticity born from a lifelong connection to the music's foundations. And this can be heard in every tune and every blend.

Discovering Jungle as a teenager in the mid-nineties, it was inevitable that he would graduate from the dancefloor to the stage and take an active role in the scene. After all, he had the example of his dad – Reggae artist and pioneering Radio 1 DJ The Man Ezeke – and he was based in East Anglia, which was quickly becoming a nexus for DnB talents. It didn't take long before the young Bladerunner learned his craft so well he could remake his favorite Jungle classics from just the raw samples. That level of dedication would define his career.

He kept his foundation influences front and centre even before the more recent Jungle renaissance, as well as helping to innovate and popularize the much-imitated sub-genre/not sub-genre of “Rollers”. Without compromising his style, Bladerunner has managed to maintain critical credibility while also building mass appeal and a huge fanbase. That's not a balancing act many can pull off, but this man is up to the challenge.

Over recent years, a succession of releases on labels like Born on Road, Critical, Creative Source, Dread, Formation, Hospital Records, Kings Of The Rollers, Souped Up, Technique, V, and many more prestigious imprints have cemented his influence on the scene. No wonder, he's been a regular fixture at some of the biggest events on the DnB calendar. The likes of Boomtown, Glastonbury, Hospitality, and many other huge festivals worldwide have all received the “Bladerunner treatment”. Whatever the venue, from underground raves to international main stages, he's proven that he's equipped and ready to tear off the roof. The combo of his ammo crate of dubs, his rolling, energetic selection style, and his immaculate blends make every set something spectacular.

Get ready for the next chapter of the Bladerunner story and join us at Reflective Sounds goes KitKat on August 22!

YOU BEAUTIFUL DNB BROTHERS* AND SISTERS*, AND WILD WORSHIPERS OF THE HEDONIC LIFESTYLE!

With great pride and pleasure, we’d like to announce that REFLECTIVE SOUNDS GOES KITKAT #7 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER! ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, FROM 10 PM TO 06 AM, once more, we will open the gates of one of the most infamous and sinful clubs in Berlin. 🎶🔥❤

For this event, we excitedly look forward to welcoming ANOTHER GIANT FROM THE UK DNB SCENE! Take a seat, grab a hold, and prepare for a night filled with the unique sounds of none other than the legend himself, a King Of The Rollers, the one and only they call

BLADERUNNER 🔥🔥🔥

At the core of Bladerunner's rise has been true, heartfelt authenticity born from a lifelong connection to the music's foundations. Over recent years, a succession of releases on labels like Born on Road, Critical, Hospital Records, Souped Up, Technique, V and many more prestigious imprints have cemented his influence on the scene. From underground raves to international main stages, Bladerunner has proven that he’s equipped and ready to tear off the roof. The combo of his ammo crate of dubs, his rolling, energetic selection style, and his immaculate blends make every set something spectacular. We can’t wait to have him play at our show!

Importantly, however, as great as our joy is, as great is our sadness – as THIS EVENT WILL BE OUR LAST ONE IN THIS SERIES AT KITKATCLUB BERLIN. In particular, we were informed by the KitKat representatives that DUE TO DIFFICULTIES WITH THE AUTHORITIES, FOR INSTANCE, DUE TO COMPLAINTS ABOUT NOISE. To survive as a club, they have to shut down some of the event series taking place during the week. It hit us like a rock when we learned that we belong to this group.

AS A CREW, WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF WHAT WE’VE CREATED DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS – NOT ONLY AS A TEAM BUT ALSO TOGETHER WITH YOU, THE CROWD SUPPORTING US! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

SO COME AND JOIN US FOR THIS LAST DANCE!
