lazy club

Marie Popall is a performer and artist. Saskia Winkelmann is an author, DJ (Kia Mann) and event organiser. One child was born in Thun on the evening of 15 June 1990 and one in Berlin on the morning of 17 June 1990. During the week of the lazy club, Popall and Winkelmann present their first joint production HUNDSKÖPFIGE at the Dampfzentrale Bern. In it, they work with movements from hardcore punk, live sound and screaming techniques. HUNDSKÖPFIGE is a noisy bridge to their aunts, mothers and sisters, as well as to the fantasies that rage within them, brutal and humorous at the same time, disturbing and strangely familiar. Meanwhile, lazy club offers an insight into the music collection of the two artists and friends.

According to its own description, Painless Listening is ‘a benevolent arrangement in which all elements are as elastic as possible to each other in order to listen to music’. We at lazy club sometimes affectionately refer to Painless Listening as our favourite listening sibling. The monthly listening format curated by Eglė Šalkauskyte (aka skyte) and Till Hillbrecht (aka Trillion Tapeman) takes place at beautiful Prozess in Bern’s Holligen neighbourhood. At each event, they invite two people from among the music community to share a playlist on site and listen to it together. For this month’s Mini-X-Mas-Family-Edition, we are now inviting the listening format Painless Listening – as the best metabooking ever and because we are curious to see what kind of music we get to hear from these two highly energetic music lovers who are very active in the music scene in Bern.

The two siblings Julian and Benedikt Sartorius both dedicate their activities tirelessly to music. Drummer, percussionist and artist Julian Sartorius creates unheard soundscapes with his playing, while Benedikt Sartorius has been translating soundscapes into texts for years, making the niches of alternative pop and experimental music from all over the world accessible to readers of WOZ, Bund, splatz.space and his weekly newsletter Listen Up! Julian has also been part of the Kulturhaus family for years with his rehearsal space at Dampfzentrale, while Benedikt is a frequent and welcome guest at the venue’s own concerts and festivals. This makes it all the more pleasing to see the two brothers together on the decks at the lazy club, where they juxtapose and overlap their musical styles.
