01.03.2025 | A benefit for Anthony Shakir @ Tangent (DETROIT)
On March 1st, 2025, we are bringing together many eras of Detroit Techno and beyond to celebrate Anthony “Shake” Shakir with a benefit to help improve his life. For far too long Shake has been in long term care for his multiple sclerosis (MS), which has kept him from doing what he loves most, and how he made such an impact on the world — his DJing and visionary music production. The music of Anthony “Shake” Shakir has had such a lasting impact precisely because he saw beyond boundaries and expressed a true iconoclastic spirit that is simultaneously purely Detroit and universal. A single EP from Shake could have 4 songs in 4 totally different genres, with each one not only excellent, but inspired and innovative. His ability to see beyond the rules and categorizations to the core essence of what makes this music so exciting is why his influence endures. Shake would simply say “I am just a humble farmer, trying to raise the best beats in the world.
” Shake’s rise to DJ fame began when he was just in high school, when he won the Mixer Dome on the Electriyin’ Mojo’s radio show. His techniques were advanced, combining techno mixing with hip hop flair, rocking doubles with ease, combining things that no one ever expected. He worked for Metroplex, eventually releasing a record there, made edits for Transmat (such as early Carl Craig records) and wrote lyrics for Octave One’s debut hit single. He released both house and wild techno on KMS and its sublabels. Later he would release music on Daniel Bell’s Seventh City, and co-found Frictional with Claude Young, eventually running that label himself for many years. The amount of incredible Detroit labels that he had direct influence on is as wide ranging as his taste, including Puzzlebox, Interdimensional Transmissions, NSC, and FIT, as well as international labels such as Tresor, Rush Hour and Disko B, along with so many more.
For this benefit for Shake, we have so many of his friends and peers, as well as people he influenced, performing in tribute to him. This is a night we want to celebrate Shake, and his impact on music, and help him get back to doing what he loves. We will start at 9pm and go until 4am with two rooms including artists from the very beginning of techno to the cutting edge of now, people who have toured with him and made records with him in many different eras, who all wanted to perform in his honor. Come support Shake, and experience the bliss of music beyond boundaries by some of the world’s finest sonic renegades.

3. June 2024 | Jeff Mills Performs Metropolis Metropolis @ Gartenbaukino (Vienna)
um 18:45h – 21:00h | Performance SOLD OUT!Jeff Mills, one of the great representatives of Detroit techno, has always had two other obsessions besides music: space and film. Over the years he has released records inspired by his favorite films – such as the short film LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (The Trip to the Moon) by Georges Méliès from 1902 or the science fiction film FANTASTIC VOYAGE from 1966.
However, no other film has occupied, influenced and inspired him as much as Fritz Lang’s silent film METROPOLIS (1927). In 2000, Mills scored the film for the first time, capturing the Art Deco architecture and scenes of proletarian revolt in shimmering, abstract synth sounds and driving techno. Ten years later, he wrote a new score that was intended to take the perspective of the film’s characters.
“Metropolis Metropolis,” his third original composition based on the film, is intended to represent the machines in the movie. Divided into six suite-like tracks, the 75-minute album is Mills’ most extensive treatment of Lang’s masterpiece to date.
However, Jeff Mills will play the entire restored version of the 2010 film live on the Gartenbaukino stage – almost two and a half hours!
Warm up & cool down in the foyer: Patrick Pulsinger

Watch back the unforgettable night – mediated by Lori – as they discuss processes in DJ’ing, production, collaborations and beyond. Infinite wisdom from the Detroit-based legend, DJ, producer, selector, arranger, keyboard clunker, machine beater, writer, sculptor, car lover, visual artist, lecturer & father. Equal parts hilarious and thoughtful, serious and educational.
