Looking forward to checking these out.

If you want to dive deeper into this subject, I really enjoyed "Der Klang der Familie", an oral history of the Berlin techno scene pre and post the Berlin Wall.

Here's a review.

I lived in Prenzlauerberg for a few months back in 2001, and going to underground parties in squats, as well as to some of the clubs (Tresor, Maria am Ostbanhof, etc) changed my life.

This is awesome. An in-joke among our group is that my husband loves "rare German techno", so I am sure he will dig this.

This is great - really interesting to see how the scene evolved in the same way as in San Francisco, where I spent my formative years.

"Don't Forget to Go Home" is one of the most touching things I've watched in ages. Thank you.
