Over four weekends, the stage will pulse with music from across the globe: from the raw energy of Mexican Cumbia-punk to the hypnotic groove of Kenyan Dodo Blues, from the electrifying syncopations of Congolese Soukous to the powerful messages of Afro-futuristic big bands. Caribbean-infused Japanese folk, soulful jazz, hip hop, and the joy and resilience of Frafra-gospel round off this celebration of sound— borderless, multi-perspective, and irresistably danceable!
In Living Color (Kenia, Nigeria, Berlin)
In Living Color is an electrifying DJ collective from Berlin, delivering Afrobeat, Afrohouse, and the vibrant pulse of Afro-Future sounds. Founded by festival regulars Ben and Emo, the collective thrives on bringing people together through music, movement, and community.
Emo Rugene, a musical virtuoso with Kenyan roots, crafts high-vibrational soundscapes – an enigmatic fusion of electronic beats and African-inspired rhythms that transcend genres.
Ben Olayinka is a nigerian DJ, engineer, runner, and community organizer, known for creating spaces that unite people, whether through In Living Color, a dynamic collective of Black and Brown DJs in Berlin, or his Run & Rave running crew. His legendary performances at DURCHLÜFTEN Festival have left a lasting mark, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back in 2025.
