FKA TWIGS AT TELEKOM ELECTRONIC BEATS’ 25-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
On May 28th, Telekom Electronic Beats celebrated 25 years of cultural influence with a spectacular event at Berlin’s iconic CANK venue. The space in Neukölln transformed into a pulsating hub of community, sound, and movement, marking the anniversary with performances from FKA twigs and Boys Noize in front of an international crowd.
FKA twigs made her German debut of Eusexua Rave alongside DJ Dr. Rubinstein. The performance was brief but intense: A fusion of electronic music, live vocals, and intimate moments that dissolved the distance between artist and audience.
“It’s always a gift to connect with people who love music – I’ll never take for granted the power it has to bring us together.” – FKA Twigs
The night unfolded with diverse sonic landscapes: Boys Noize delivered a powerful, electrifying set, Fuffifufzich impressed with raw, dynamic live energy and Wolfram mixed Italo, disco, and electro with refined elegance. The evening’s rich program was rounded out by sets from collectives E.P.I.Q. and Layers (bae2bae), making for a varied and sophisticated musical journey.
The entire night was visually documented by Cobrasnake (Mark Hunter), capturing every contrast from sweat-drenched bodies to hypnotic strobe lights.
More than a celebration of Telekom Electronic Beats’ 25-year legacy, the event was a vivid glimpse into the future of music and pop culture, a testament to the lasting power of community and connection on the dancefloor.
