SONIC PLAYGROUND 2023 | URBAN 13
Thanks to all the curious sonic adventurers that showed up last Saturday night! We had a blast and a lot of fun sharing our sonic experimentations with you people. Showcasing what our collective has to offer to the world with our own rules and mindset is really worth the effort and dedication. We showcased everything from ambient, modular to minimal and fast techno! A lot of hardware and synths action.
Sharing this moment with our locals and international performers is something truly special. - Another one for the books. Thrilled to say that the 3rd edition of SP2024 is already confirmed. Time for some new ventures… but this is another story, more about it later on.
Special shoutout to 59 Perlen, Sholinger, CALCK, Deega, Clément & EFFYIS for making it all the way to Copenhagen for the occasion.
Special thanks to Jacob Nyby and the whole team behind Urban 13 for the hard work and for lending us a room for such an experimental approach and setup. And thanks to Telavivi Records for joining along this year.
If you were there for this second edition, please feel welcome to send us some words concerning your experience that night. There is still room for improvement and we need you guys for that. Thanks for all being part of this.

Line-up 2023
PVC CPH
The Copenhagen crew, each armed with their favorite hardware, teamed up for an epic live performance. Imagine seven music producers, each with vastly different creative minds and influences, coming together with one goal in mind: to make you dance and get lost in the trance. (Featuring Songs From Tin Pan Alley, Yukio Bergholdt, ITEM, Second Sun, Borenstein, Wilk Kick & Atlas Castle).
Sholinger is a producer, engineer, and sound designer from Berlin. His spectrum varies from minimalistic to abstract, with hypnotic rhythms, dark samples, and elements from analog and digital synthesis taking your mind to another level. Most tracks are produced while traveling abroad with a mobile setup and are then fine-tuned, mixed, and mastered in his studio (Room4Sound) in Berlin.
59 Perlen is a music artist, live act, and mentor based in Zurich, Switzerland. He produces and performs house and ambient sets with various hardware setups for diverse audiences. His often minimalist tracks tell a story by combining dub techno elements and ambient atmospheres while remaining danceable.
Rome in Reverse is the Italian-born, Copenhagen-based artist Antonella Pacifico, who made her debut in 2014 and quickly found her niche within the crowded electronic music scene. The environment that Pacifico has crafted with Rome in Reverse is a melting pot of club dance music, blissed-out trance-techno, ambient dub, and dreamy trip-hop sounds, all driven by up/down-tempo electronic beats.
Andy Wiseman is a producer and musician originally from Halifax, Canada. After years of working with artists in Canada (TWRP) and Germany (XTR Human), he’s been based out of Copenhagen since 2020. His own music has been taking form as a unique blend of alternative electronica spanning across and bridging the gaps between ambient, techno, synthwave and funk. On stage Andy takes the helm on the electronic drums, providing the heartbeat to an enthralling live set.
