Episode 13: Indie Reinvention and “Thirteen Thirtyfive” with Daniel Rérat

Berlin label BPitch Control has a reputation for releasing techno and electronic music, but the imprint has also trafficked in non-techno sounds – including music by the Brazilian singer-songwriter Dillon, who has released two albums through BPitch over the last decade. On this episode, Vivian Host sits down with former BPitch Control manager Daniel Rérat to discuss bringing Dillon onto the label, her unexpectedly big single "Thirteen Thirtyfive," and BPitch's history of releasing eclectic sounds.

The history of Berlin music in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s is well documented. Punk, new wave, acid house; the fall of the Berlin wall and the stellar rise of techno. By the end of the millennium, more than a million people raved at the infamous Love Parade events every year. Dance music had arrived. But then what happened? Who are the people and what are the sounds that shaped the Berlin we know today? To celebrate 20 years of Red Bull Music Academy, Berlin Zwanzig – “Berlin Twenty” in English – explores 20 songs that have defined Berlin’s musical landscape from 1998 to 2018, by way of interviews between Red Bull Radio’s Vivian Host and the artists, journalists and scene stalwarts who bore witness to this fertile period in the city’s musical history.
