Join us for the launch night of ‘Foundations,’ a new live event series by London-based collective CEL. Through performances, DJ nights, workshops and panel conversations at Cank, CEL launches a long-term project that fosters creative activism and black artistic innovation.

The international line-up brings together Black artists known for pushing the boundaries of club music. At the forefront of experimental electronic sound, Bobby Beethoven has redefined the dancefloor by dismantling the traditional structure of DJ sets. His practice explores club culture as a space of both liberation and control. La Diouck represents a new generation of Franco-African artists who blend cultural heritage with contemporary influences. Having recently released his debut album Grace Jokes on PAN Records, his music merges experimental club sounds with ethereal vocals in Wolof, French, and English. Always chasing new sounds, Paris-based label head Bamao Yendé is a DJ and producer who fuses baile funk, techno, breaks, and logobi into high-energy sets with an R’n’B touch. Oroko resident Moneyama, a DJ and Berlin club scene staple, blends multiple genres while drawing from her Ghanaian heritage. LIL RISK is a multi-hyphenate DJ and party organizer known for her unexpected combinations of techno, experimental sounds, hard dance, and a wide range of global club music. CEL’s launch night is presented as part of @berlinartweek.
