Episode 1: Die 90er, Loveparade & Protestmusik – mit Alec Empire

Atari Teenage Riot was one of Berlin’s most incendiary groups during its late ’90s / early ’00s heyday. They took electronic music’s building blocks and gleefully deconstructed them, turning jungle into what frontman Alec Empire called “digital hardcore.” On this episode of Berlin Zwanzig – the first in the series – Vivian Host sits down with Empire to discuss how ATR’s “Revolution Action” came to be and why Berlin in the '90s felt a little bit like the end of the world.

Episode 1: Punk, Techno and Protest with Alec Empire

Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, a young Alec Empire looked to the rebellious sounds of techno, acid house and punk to inform a new project: Atari Teenage Riot. The trio debuted in 1992 and became notorious for its self-styled digital hardcore sound. When ATR split in 2000, the group and its founder had become household names beyond their humble beginnings. In this episode recorded as part of the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp Berlin 2017, Empire recalls the city's reunification years and more.
