The German label raster marks its 30th anniversary with a night at ALICE in Copenhagen. The lineup comes from the label's own roster and covers glitch, minimalist rhythms, organic soundscapes and audiovisual work.
Raster was founded as rastermusic in 1996 by Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider. It merged with Carsten Nicolai's NOTON in 1999 to become raster-noton, and re-emerged as raster in 2017. It has around 200 releases, along with books, installations and live presentations.
Performers are Amelie Duchow, Byetone, Xuri & John Cleworth, and Gábor Lázár. The night starts at 21:00.
