Peak Time – Bpitch Control with Ellen Allien & Ipek Gorgun

Ellen Allien started DJing in 1992, in the Wild West rave scene of Berlin immediately after the wall fell. A native of West Berlin, she was a fixture at clubs like Tresor, E-Werk and WMF, and channels that spirit of unity and the revolutionary promise of the early rave scene in her music and DJ sets to the present day. In 1999, she started the Bpitch Control label, a home for a wide variety of electronic music flavors from the likes of Modeselektor, Paul Kalkbrenner, Ben Klock, Kiki, Dillon and beyond. We'll be talking to her about all that – plus her first release in years on someone else's label (the _Take A Stand_ EP on Boddika's Nonplus Records). In hour two, Vivian catches up with Turkish sound sculptor Ipek Gorgun (an alumni of RBMA Tokyo 2014), who evolved from a background making her own radio-wave tapes and playing in experimental bands to making enigmatic and grand sound pieces where she carves space and dimension out of an otherworldly sonic palette.
