Durchlüften 2025 – Open Air in the Schlüter Courtyard Live Concerts, DJ Acts

For free, open air and under palm trees: This summer again, the DURCHLÜFTEN festival transforms the Humboldt Forum’s large courtyard into a vibrant meeting point of sound, rhythm, and culture.


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!

DJ  CHI aka Robert Machiri (Simbabwe, Südafrika)

CHI aka Robert Machiri is a sound artist and hoarder of sound-related objects. His work exists at the interface of two streams of practice: his curatorial concepts and a multidisciplinary production of artworks that draw on decolonial discourses. They are presented through embodied critique, learning and unlearning, interweaving sound, music and image-making. His most notable project, PUNGWE, is an interdisciplinary project circling African soundings with related contemporary arts discourses and spaces.
