BPitch Control
It’s hard to exaggerate the influence BPitch Control has made on the Berlin electronic music scene. The label (double) record label was founded in 1999 by DJ, producer and designer Ellen Allien. BPitch Control tries to split the technoid-electronic microcosmos of Berlin with the function of being a platform for upcoming artists. Berlin is growing from the important role as one of the cities where techno has been at home the most for the last 10 years.
Here’s a presentation of videos and recordings that showcases the unique brilliance and the Berlin music foundation that is BPitch Control.
