CTM 2026 - dissonate < > resonate

From 23 January to 1 February, CTM 2026 brings together a multitude of voices echoing our cacophonous and interwoven realities at various venues across Berlin, including three nights at Berghain.

Milkweed twist fragments of folklore and myth into lo-fi folk songs, grinding tradition through experimental productions simultaneously evocative of uncanny age and contemporary sharpness.

Tony Njoku shapes songs from clipped vocal grains and drifting unsettled chords. His world leans toward delicate synth sketches and microscopic percussion, all shadowed by a falsetto that feels half-present and aching.

John Glacier's music turns inward, giving her work a calm intensity. Her voice moves between rap and matter-of-fact narration, mapping a path that drifts, folds, and returns with quiet magnetism. Ambient warmth rubs against stiff beats, dry humor sidles up to lyrical weight, and rough edges settle neatly beside her clear-eyed craft.
