It's awards season. Recently there were the Grammys, soon you will have the Oscars. In between, one of the most precious awards is given in an excellent ceremony held in Schwerte on February 21st: the Schallwelle for electronic music. If you can make it, come over to a beautiful and friendly event. Check out the link below on more information. Now, this edition's focus clearly is on the ceremony taking place or rather its music, featuring the receiver of the lifetime award for achievements in electronic music, teasers for the concerts given in between the award hand-overs, and finally music by all the nominees for the award of (re-)discovered artists.
