Our friend David introduced his Hillbilly Hifi a few months back but never held a proper dance in Berlin until now. This one will be special, the venue is themed like a spaceship. No worries, no cosplay expected we were told. We love the cute artwork, check out the nerdy Video-Teaser, too!

On February 11th, 2012 we introduced Maratone Long Distance HiFi to the world. Well, at least to some people who liked Vintage Jamaican Music and came to our very first Rock Steady Ballrom in the backroom of a no longer existant Pub in Berlin. Nothing went as planned that night but we had some hours of fun and built the foundation for another pillar of Soundsystem Culture in Berlin. Looking back we can be quite proud of countless events with amazing selectors and even some Jamaican Legends playing on the sound and are very satisfied with the pressure and unique sound we can deliver nowadays.

With venues closed for a few more weeks it is rather difficult to plan a proper Anniversary Dance with the full sound. We are busy behind the scenes and are positive that the Soundclash in August will take place. We’ll keep you posted on other events should restrictions be lifted and something work out on short notice. Until then we’d like you to join us for a livestream on twitch to celebrate on the Maratone Living Room HiFi with the full crew contributions by our friends from all over the world:
