Artist Area
Welcome to the Berlin Modular Society artist’s area.
Artist Submissions
If you are INTERESTED in performing / streaming with us, please use our Artist Submission Form.
We welcome applications from new comers and experienced pros alike and we try to represent a broad spectrum of performers in terms of their musical and visual styles and their gender, sex, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. Pretty much the only common factor is that you use modular and perform live with it.
Our Spectrum events follow what we call a “Spectrum shape”. The first two or three acts play ambient, experimental, noise and glitch and then we transition to techno via various beaty musical forms! We also welcome live modular, experimental and generative video synthesis performers.
Our Dance! events start beaty and progress from there!
Sometimes we organise one off special events where anything can happen!
If you’re interested in our event schedule please see our Upcoming Dates page.
Use the Artist Submission Form to tell us about your act. We will get back to you in due course.

Preparing to Perform
Apart from preparing a fantastic uplifting / dark / ambient / danceable / musical modular set :-) we will need your help in promoting the event you are part of. This involves providing us with creative promo materials in a timely manner which can include some of the following:A striking picture or two of your act / your gear.A short bio about your act and/or your particular performance.A video < 60 seconds longA music clip 29 seconds long that fades out after 28 seconds.We strongly recommend you have an Instagram profile and a Resident Advisor profile.
Preparing to Stream
Practice makes perfect, right? It’s true! Streaming is no exception - so if you are going to perform on one of our streaming events, we ask you that you do a streaming test well in advance! :-) Please don’t wait for the last minute, even if you are an experienced streamer!
If you are new to OBS, please see the Using OBS introduction.
Please add a small Berlin Modular Society logo to the corner of your stream. The Media Assets page has logos you can use. If you add your own artists logo, please put it in a different corner. You can use the opacity settings on OBS so the logo blends in.
