From Berlin to LA is a two-day event at several venues in Berlin and LA. Electronic musicians from Berlin and Los Angeles have always done far more than perform in each other’s cities; instead, they enriched each other’s styles through the constant exchange of both scene and tech intel, thus creating an entirely new scene.

From Berlin to LA offers a broad spectrum of electronic Music, a series of panels, digital production and DJ workshops, live and DJ sets with a new tech twist or an old-school flair focusing on Berlin and Berlin-influenced electronic music ranging from electronica new beats, to house, techno & experimental.

From Berlin to LA is initiated by Your Mom’s Agency from Berlin, with the support of the Goethe-Institut, the Villa Aurora, Bold LA and Raumfeld, as well as SSSO, Grimy, Native Instruments, FoF, Barkin Kitchen, Discogs and Amoeba.
