Tokyo’s boundary-pushing POiSON GiRL FRiEND descends on Gretchen this August, bringing her signature blend of cybernetic sensuality and shadowy, acid-washed rhythms to the heart of Berlin’s summer. A pioneering presence since her 90s debut, she fuses moody spoken word with glitch-laced techno, coldwave, and experimental pop, channelling both retrofuturist nostalgia and a distinctly contemporary edge. Expect a live set pulsing with abrasive frequencies, dreamlike hooks, and hypnotic percussion—sonic fragments reflecting the eternal tension between vulnerability and machine precision.

Her presence is magnetic, her voice cutting through digital textures with intimate clarity. This night promises a rare chance to experience the singular sound world of POiSON GiRL FRiEND in full immersive force. Joining the lineup are local selectors and boundary-dissolvers, ensuring a dense, kinetic energy will flow from floor to ceiling.

Step into a space where past and future fold into the present—where the next beat might take you anywhere. 30 August. Gretchen. Prepare yourself.
