CTM 2026 - dissonate < > resonate

From 23.1 to 1.2. CTM Festival’s 2026 edition brings together a multitude of voices echoing our cacophonous and interwoven realities for three nights at Berghain and many more events at further venues. Delicate and dense, Blood Of Aza moves with fragile melodies under shifting rhythms and digital melancholy, textures between ghost-ambient drone and ruptured power electronics. Osaka producer and engineer Kentaro Hayashi creates distortion, static hums, and hand-built frequencies from experimental electronics, industrial atmospheres, and underground club energy. GAZAEBAL, first Korean artist to top the UK techno charts and co-founder of Tacit Group and WeSA festival, blends slowly escalating structures with immersive sound textures rooted in precise analogue engineering. A final act is tba.
