EX AEQUA

Das 90mil nahe der Jannowitzbrücke öffnet seine Türen für Ex Aequa. Das Projekt fördert FLINTA-Personen und unterrepräsentierte Geschlechter in der Musikbranche durch professionelle Entwicklung. Der Abend verbindet Live-Performances mit einer Installation von Aleksandra Mitrovic. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Programm zwischen experimentellen Strukturen und cluborientierten Sounds. Ziúr bringt ihre subversive Herangehensweise an elektronische Musik ein, während Yede Zweifel und abstraqt mit Cello, Piano und Elektronik eher melancholische Räume öffnen. Ergänzt wird das Line-up durch Eva van Dijk und Miri Malek. Beide navigieren zwischen Sounddesign, experimentellem Pop und schweren Bässen. Die Veranstaltung findet in einem DIY-Rahmen statt, der den Fokus auf den gemeinschaftlichen Austausch legt. Der Zugang erfordert eine Mitgliedschaft, die vor Ort abgeschlossen werden kann. Die Veranstaltung finanziert sich über eine Spende am Einlass.

She produces just like she DJs, gathering a wide variety of ingredients and figuring out the most intriguing, unexpected ways to simmer them into a coherent narrative that helps listeners synchronize the conflicting messages that surround them. Genre isn't a fixed point for Ziúr, but a color in a vast palette that stretches across history and borders, helping illustrate music that's powerfully subversive - a vivid crack of light in a dim, lifeless cultural landscape. It's easy to see why Pitchfork labelled her "a master storyteller" in 2019. Ziúr's musical epiphany came in 2015 when she was teaching at a girls rock camp and crossed paths with Peaches. The Canadian icon invited Ziúr to tour alongside her, tapping her for a remix of 'How You Like My Cut' shortly afterwards. An early addition to the Discwoman roster, she followed the Peaches mix with two EPs before sharpening her vision into a full-length statement on 2017's acclaimed 'U Feel Anything?', released on the UK's iconic Planet Mu label. The album established Ziúr's expressive sonic signature as she balanced gritty percussion with soft, pillowy pads and vocals. Eva van Dijk Eva van Dijk is a Berlin-based producer and artist from Melbourne, moving between experimental pop, sound design and heavier club sounds.She is signed to Bassism records under her alias Schnitt and plays darker selection of drum & bass, halftime and 140 with heavy low end, broken rhythms and weird textures somewhere between the dancefloor and the left field. Miri Malek Miri Malek is a DJ, producer & curator based in Berlin. Behind the decks Miri is a sharp and playful selector, serving up a powerful blend of cold instrumentals, wonked-out oddities and heavy deepcuts with an experimental edge. They are founder of the interdisciplinary arts platform Dwam, an event series and label that brings together experimental live performance with bass-forwards club music. They are also part of 90mil, the DIY venue and community arts space. Miri started producing music in 2023, drawing from a range of musical influences, from noise, to experimental rap and music concrète. Yeda Zweifel + abstract Yeda Zweifel and abstraqt have been whistling, laughing, drawing, playing music and walking dogs together for two years. As a duo, softly dive into spacious melancholy with the sounds of cello, piano, voices and creepy electronics.
