SONAE already addresses climate change and its consequences for humans and nature in her work ‘Summer’ (2021), her album for the French concept label la a p s. With her A/V performance ‘SUMMER. SECOND ROUND’, Sonae tackles the challenges of the topic using the creative languages of video, music and performance; she revisits it and develops the theme further – exactly as those responsible seem to need until action is finally taken.

This is also reflected in the subsequent set with Shaxtar: ‘In the end, it makes no sense to work through a difficult topic alone. After the solo performance, DJ and producer Shaxtar joins in.’ In their joint hybrid set, the two want to find out how the issue can be addressed musically throughout the evening.
Sonae is a producer, live performer and DJ in the field of experimental electronic music. She is part of the label collective Monika Werkstatt.
Shaxtar is a DJ and producer working in dub, UK dubstep and deconstructed genres, and is currently Sonae’s mentee in the New Talents Ruhr support programme.
