The Week Telekom Electronic Beats

Have you been feeling too tired to go out clubbing recently? You are not alone. There is even a word for it: rave fatigue. For this week’s episode Kikelomo talks to music journalist Marie Dapoigny about how rave fatigue has become a thing, and what we can do about it as a community. Plus: a youth initiative going viral with a D’n’B tune, a new documentary on the piracy era, and Billie Eilish revealing a new feature on TikTok.

Narciss is on a mission to make techno fun and colorful again. Born and raised in Berlin, the DJ and producer is the opposite of what their name might suggest, more like a nerdy video game fan, a 90s kid who’s grounded, humble, amazingly charming – and a queer icon in the making. After witnessing their first Loveparade in their mother’s womb, Narciss became a part of what they call "the anime school of DJs" and hyped up crowds from Japan to Canada. 
In conversation with OttO Kent, Narciss talks about their love for the godfather of hard house Tony De Vit, "bad" make up, fake video fames, Trance as the first commercialized form of Dance music and the power of nostalgia.
