About

Berlin Modular Society is lead by Simon Redfern (3rd Party Influence), Steve Williams (drusnoise), JaqNoise and Dirk Pogrzeba (Neversleep).

Simon and Steve organised and played in the first event, BMS #1, on 22nd May 2021.

The Berlin Modular Society twitch channel was created by Simon with the aim of providing some performance practice opportunities during the first Covid lockdown - and the longer term aim of organising events at venues like the Berghain Kanteen when possible. The name was chosen in homage to the New York Modular Society who were active on Twitch.

The artists performing at BMS1 were Monotrail, eddrro, ili.ili (his first live set ever), 3rd Party Influence and drusnoise. Everyone streamed from their own studio space except for Monotrail who streamed from Simon's kitchen - what a pleasure! The whole stream is available here: https://www.facebook.com/BerlinModularSociety/videos/794879054566646

Steve and Simon were joined by Josef Kunz after they met at BMS #4 at LoopHole. Josef created the BMS logo and found and promoted the first events at Fitzroy.

Robin Burke first performed as Optical Collusion in BMS #6 and was part of the organising team between May and December 2022.
