In
recent years, Fritz Kalkbrenner has established a reputation
as one of the most popular producers and singer songwriters to have
emerged out of Berlin. Here he shares with SUITCASE his quick-fire
guide to the city he is proud to call home.
Dekmantel

Long gone

the Netherlands
Loscil, Cinematic Orchestra, J. Dilla and Al Green just to name
a few.
As I was born and raised here I speak the dialect and have the
attitude that the natives usually display. People who are new to
the city find it offensive sometimes but we don’t mean it. Nine
months in the city’s grey conditions toughens you really well but
can also leave you with some sort of melancholia along the way.
Actually, I don’t care!
