Two crews dedicated to the craft of blending records come together once again to celebrate the beloved fine art. seekers & Faciendo have been bringing their collaboration between Berlin and Barcelona for several years. A direct partnership of pals and purveyors of a culture that beats strong in their hearts. This next one is all about the vinyl, as they prepare for a 36+ hour session on the Hoppetosse.
Starting on February 15th and running through into the next day, this ‘strictly vinyl’ session brings together a mighty lineup of friends and favourites. Many of these selectors already share deep connections, inside and outside of the club. And of course, all will be packing the wax, save for two special live acts who will be performing entirely on analogue gear. Whichever way you look at it, there are many stories to be told from a bunch of the most passionate aficionados, bringing authentic performance from start to finish.
seekers’ own and founder Alex Picone will be as present as ever, bringing Nick and Artuccio along with him from Barcelona. Small Black Dots springs to mind, a record store and institution that bonds residents of seekers and Faciendo, as well as many more. Also coming in hot from the seekers family are Cosmic JD, Miki, Ancut and Luca Piermattei. Nikol is also no stranger, but this one marks his first time playing live for the collective.
From The Faciendo side, Desyn is joined by Tom Morgan, Tommy Pickles, Rama, Rowan and Burchan – altogether known as Faciendo Soundsystem. Other friends of the label include Bruno Schmidt, Olya Smok, Rub800 b2b Tonchius, Super Venus and Wendy. As you can see, it is hugely a family affair – a pair of collectives that come together as one to form an almighty gathering. From the dance floor to the downtempo, this an opportunity to come together through shared passion, with plenty of time to soak it all up.
It goes without saying, Hoppetosse’s reputation as one of Berlin’s most beloved venues precedes it, offering an intimate and immersive setting for music lovers alike. Its distinct layout and renowned sound system make it the perfect space for the vinyl-only ethos that Seekers and Faciendo champion. Expect extended sets, rare records, and a deep connection between artists and the crowd, as the energy flows from day to night.
