About
The Berlin Modular Society is currently organised by Simon Redfern (3rd Party Influence), Franziska, JacqNoise, Dirk Pogrzeba (Neversleep) and Daniel Lonn (Shellbeat).
First Patches
Simon initiated BMS with a twitch channel to provide some performance opportunities during the first Covid lockdown. Simon and Steve Williams (drusnoise) organised (and played) in the first event, BMS #1, on 22nd May 2021.
The Berlin Modular Society name was chosen by Simon in homage to the New York Modular Society who were already active on Twitch at that time.
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
Franziska has been involved behind the scenes and sometimes front of house since BMS #1.
Josef Kunz joined Simon and Steve after they met at BMS #5 at LoopHole on 24 October 2021. Josef created the BMS logo and found and promoted the first events at Fitzroy. Josef left BMS towards the end of 2022.
