EXHALE UNVEILS ITS SUMMER DC10 LINE-UP

AMELIE IS BACK FOR A SECOND SEASON

After a successful first year in Ibiza, the EXHALE community return for an 8-week residency at DC-10.

Alongside the weekly club shows, starting July 26 and taking place every Wednesday till September 13, Amelie Lens revealed the full line up that will champion the future sounds of techno on the island.

“Last year we watched as our community grew, and we got to know the people that came each week to support the event. I am so excited to see these familiar faces again and to make new memories” says Amelie Lens.

EXHALE returns to Ibiza off the back of one of their most successful years to date having just returned from a first sold out US weekend, a 7,000+ mega rave in their home town of Antwerp as well as a huge VA currently dominating the Beatport charts.

Looking to grow on the success of last year and cement their position as the go to spot for island techno, Amelie Lens has invited 50+ artists including Marcel Dettmann, Bambounou, DJ Bone, Dana Montana, SPFDJ and of course Amelie Lens and Farrago. The residency has doubled in size to cater for the islands growing demand for techno and EXHALE will be revealing a host of events and activations to accompany the residency over the coming weeks.

“One of my favourite things about EXHALE Ibiza, is how connected we feel to the island and the people that live there. It’s really special to see and enjoy the events together every Wednesday” adds Farrago

EXHALE has always been powered by techno, driven by community and Ibiza will be no different. The brand and its loyal legion of techno lovers want to change the perception of the island, dropping any exclusivity that may have been synonymous with Ibiza over the last decade. EXHALE x DC-10 is the creation of a space where everyone is included, no boundaries, no attitudes. Each and every raver, DJ and industry worker, united under the techno banner.

“EXHALE has gone all around the world this year; Ibiza feels like our summer reunion where our community comes from near and far” – Amelie Lens

Come and take your place in the EXHALE community this summer.

Today Berlin nightlife icon Sven Marquardt has announced his DISTURBING BEAUTY New York Art Week photo exhibition at ArtsDistrict Brooklyn May 18-May 21. In collaboration with New York nightlife impresarios Teksupport, DISTURBING BEAUTY will see the Berlin based photographer exhibit a selection of his first photo works captured in 1980s East Berlin, which will be presented by Galerie Deschler. The opening event on May 18th will see performances from a selection of noteworthy house and techno artists, staged by Teksupport. In cooperation with visual artist Tavy Hornbrook, Marquardt shows on this special evening over 100 visuals as video art and creates a digital experience by letting images and sound flow together.

A pillar of global nightlife culture, Sven Marquardt began his prolific photographic career in East Berlin in the early eighties before taking a brief hiatus after the fall of the Berlin Wall and subsequent explosion of unified Berlin’s club scene. After working as a doorman at the legendary Ostgut club, Sven went on to become the nightlife icon when Berghain opened in 2004 and remains the driving force behind the visual aspect of Berghain's OstGut Ton record label. The worldwide popularity of this unique club has also brought numerous artists and Marquardt’s face as well as his Berlin history to the surface. Inspired by the cultural atmosphere of Berlin, Sven returned to photography in the late 1990s with his exhibitions traveling the world between residencies in Belgrade, Sydney and New York City. 

In Sven’s own words, “For more than thirty years, club culture has determined both my life—as a curator of countless nights—and, of course, my life as a photographer. In a city in transition after the wild eighties and the fall of the Berlin Wall, I had for the first time put my camera aside. It was at the end of the 1990s that my camera again became a stylistic device for expressing our attitude towards life. Berlin has always been the setting as well as the inspiration for my pictures and projects.

Since 2010, my exhibition projects have been traveling, and they have occasionally been created in collaboration with musicians. Starting in 2018, residencies followed in Belgrade, Sydney and then, in 2022, in New York City. For me, New York is rough and photogenic = “sexy” 24/7. Club culture is always to some extent “RIOT,” unadjusted and, above all, free.”

DISTURBING BEAUTY will open at the immersive ArtsDistrict Brooklyn, renowned for its state-of-the-art 360 degree projection and world class audiovisual technology, in collaboration with Galerie Deschler Berlin and Teksupport. A variety of visuals designed by artist Tavy Hornbrook will be on display in addition to Sven’s work. 

Underground events collective Teksupport, founded by Rob Toma, has hosted some of the most important collisions of club culture, high fashion and technology in recent years. For the past decade, Teksupport has distinguished themselves in the underground for their skillful integration of expert musical curation and innovative production. In recent years, the pioneering event promoters have expanded beyond NYC to throw events across the nation, positioning themselves as the premiere partner for stateside takeovers from global institutions. DISTURBING BEAUTY was made possible in part by Matteo Garzia and Alessandro Brioschi.

The DISTURBING BEAUTY exhibition will be on view from May 18th-May 21st at the Gallery at ArtsDistrict Brooklyn, with hours of 3pm-9pm. The opening event on May 18th will run from 10pm-5am.
