„Taktstelle“ is a music-and-dance series, connecting Berlin based musicians with extraordinary dancers of different genres, countries and philosophies. Any unition is possible, no combinations are predictable. Philipp Selalmazidis the brain and soul behind „Taktstelle“ has organized 17 editions of this music-and-dance series since 2012 in various Berlin clubs, such as Lido, SO 36, Bi Nuu and Roter Salon at Volksbühne.
Working together with diverse rock, pop, jazz, chanson, punk and electro musicians, a wide variety of dancers presented and presents their artistic performance at these locations.

The beat hammers like the pulse of a pair of lovers on the run from a gang of racist thugs – the sound is manic, but from it speaks a seemingly insurmountable inner strength. This arch of tension is home to Camera. The Berlin band is rightly compared with icons of seventies Krautrock such as Neu! and La Düsseldorf, with a tight and driving sound, yet they are still somehow unpredictable. Hardly any other band understands how to mutate tiny musical nuances into volcanic eruptions like they do.
Camera is a motor running at full throttle, where an explosion could occur at any second. Once you have embarked on this crazy journey, you will be fascinated by the alternating current somewhere between a flash flood and roller coaster running off the rails. The cascades of sound convey a blurry image of a boundless desire to revolt, with each blink of an eye threatening to end in purgatory, yet it is damned near indestructible.
