On the lookout for some christmas goodies and wouldn’t mind boosting your karma bank while you’re at it? Then come to a very special sample sale: the Good Xsample Charity Flea Market this Sunday (01.12.19). Here, all proceeds go straight to the homeless of Berlin. The concept is the collective brainchild of Highsnobietyand One Warm Winter, a local initiative for the homeless which aims to raise awareness amongst the young with projects such as Kiezmarke. Together they were able to win over brands, bloggers and influencers to donate their unused samples (Highsnobiety is giving out their very own as well). And of course there will be plenty of music, snacks and drinks. Also participating: Muschi Kreuzberg, König Galerie, Suzie Grime and TISK, amongst others. A high-end flea market with food, drink and a good cause – see you on Sunday. (Text: Katie Burton / Photos: Julien Tell, Studio Hülle & Fülle, Michael Mann)

A Diy Queer-feminist Instagram Workshop in a church? Yes, at Dice Conference + Festival (31.10–02.11.2019) boundaries aren’t just pushed, but broken down completely. The result is three days of music featuring an extensive line-up of non-binary, trans and female DJs and performers. The music lineup of mainly electronic acts at Kreuzberg’s Bi Nuu space features genre-hopping veteran and iconoclast DJ Marcelle; SHYGIRL, the fierce alter-ego of London-based DJ and singer Blane Muise; and deep house legend Lady Blacktronika. Meanwhile, the Tabor Church is where the festival’s theme of “Overtime” – how society values (or doesn’t value) performers’ time and work – is pursued, with rousing workshops like “Negotiating your Worth“. The space also hosts a multitude of audiovisual wonders including Parisian DJ and producer CRYSTALLMESS with a “pluridisciplinary” show combining music, video and 3D. It concludes a festival that provokes as much discourse as it does dancing. (Text: Benji Haughton / Photos: Lisa Wassmann, Taborkirche)
