Therefore the programme on two floors brings together a range of cutting edge contemporary club music and challenging experimental sound excursions with a performative twist by Berlin and international artists. The musical programme will be accompanied and extended by a visual environment for both the two stages and the foyer of the theatre. Thus CTM aims to take over the whole building and to create a consistent and inspiring atmosphere.   The programme for the stage in the theatre’s main hall is all about an international style of electronic dance music mostly called Minimal Techno, IDM or most recently Microhouse. While this style has been developed since the mid nineties at various locations throughout the world such as Detroit, Paris or Montreal, it has always been the most influential and most original sound for Berlin with a large number of Berlin artists having achieved international acclaim and fame for their musical contribution to this specific genre. Thus even so some of the participating artists don’t originate from Berlin but relocated there or have been frequent visitors during previous years, it is about the “Sound of Berlin” as close as you can get towards it.   The programme on the theatre’s second stage will be a more varied and playful approach towards electronic music as a medium not only of the elegant minimal cool, but also for wild expressiveness, collage, humour and personality. In a certain sense the programme brings to centre stage an element that opposes the presentations in the main hall: the performers presence. This programme is all about musical performances that directly engage the audience, that invite for communication, that are colourful, loud and shrill and a little odd, but the more unique. True music outside of any genre boundaries.   > www.cultuurnacht.nl	> September 23, 2005
