is a DJ, graphic designer and digital artist from the Ruhr area. Her sets and her art draw from the same source: life in cyberspace and a longing for connection to the world around her. Weaving together bass, breaks and otherworldly textures, she blurs the line between the futuristic and the mythical. As part of the IVORY collective, she has been creating spaces since 2022 for sounds that would otherwise go unheard in the Ruhr area.

A few years ago, Lukas “Opek” Joachim told the hip-hop website mzee that he was currently listening to jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter and Cologne’s leading rapper Retrogott on repeat. What already appeared logical back then, makes even more sense now. The instrumental tracks on his latest album Trafo feel at home in the green-misty basement clubs of the world, where, with a bit of a buzz, they make heads nod and invite spontaneous lyric-writing. But their soul is so damn jazzy that it packs a laid-back punch. Soundtracks that cheerfully draw inspiration from Japan, Brazil or the USA, whilst Opek conducts his five-piece band from his drum stool. One of the hottest acts in Cologne, no question about it!

First released in Jamaica in late 1972, Upsetters 14 Dub Black Board Jungle – produced by Lee “Scratch” Perry and mixed by King Tubby – is widely regarded as one of the first full-length dub albums and a true landmark in reggae history. It established dub as a genre defined by creative studio intervention. Now, 54 years later, Cologne-based label Week-End Records is excited to re-release this monumental album in its original version featuring all 14 tracks.

The album’s newly restored master will be presented in its entirety during an album listening session on the club’s Freifeld floor. David Katz, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s biographer and author of Dub Revolution, will give an introduction, followed by a Q&A.

U14DBBJ, a band of musicians led by composer and arranger Jorik Bergman, will perform selected tracks from this iconic album live, mixed by Helmut Philipps (author of the book *Dub Konferenz. 50 Years of Dub from Jamaica*). DJs Olaf Karnik and Danniella Dee will round off the afternoon/evening with a DJ set.

Tino Ribeiro - bass

Week-End Records carries forward the artistic vision and musical ethos of the annual Week-End Fest, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year from November 5-7.

Feel free to bring comfy blankets and pillows for the full experience.

David Katz is an acclaimed music journalist, author, DJ and reggae historian. Born in San Francisco and based in London, he has documented Jamaican music and culture since 1984. His influential books include People Funny Boy: The Genius of Lee “Scratch” Perry, Solid Foundation: An Oral History of Reggae and Dub Revolution. A contributor to The Guardian, Mojo and The Wire, Katz has also produced music documentaries, curated reggae reissues and championed Jamaican music worldwide.

Cologne-based author and DJ Olaf Karnik will be in conversation with David Katz about his latest book.

Lee Scratch Perry’s Vision of Paradise (2015) is a visionary documentary by director Volker Schaner, who followed the legendary Jamaican musician and producer for 15 years. Blending intimate footage, psychedelic animation and extraordinary music, the film explores Perry’s mystical universe, creative genius and spiritual philosophy. From Jamaica to London and the Swiss Alps, it reveals the man behind the myth, whose groundbreaking experiments with reggae and dub transformed modern music.

Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead once went by the name Raime on the Blackest Ever Black label, getting clubs from LA via Manchester to Berlin moving to industrial techno music with dubstep DNA. As Moin, they released a few singles in parallel, then disappeared, only to resurface years later as a trio with Valentina Magaletti. Magaletti proves once again—as she does in her project with upsammy—that there is simply no other drummer as inventive as her at the moment. Together with her bandmates, she creates a sound that can only be described as ‘post-everything’: post-industrial, post-dub, post-dance, post-grunge, post-hardcore. At times it’s fierce, bass heavy and deep in the best sense of the word; at others, it’s unexpectedly inviting and even danceable. Moin is quite simply the band of the moment.
