KEYI Magazine to Celebrate Charity Compilation “Sonic Reflections” With Release Show in Berlin

Germany’s Keyi Magazine proudly announces a release show for Sonic Reflections, their new charity compilation album. The event takes place in three live sets at the Kantine am Berghain in Berlin on the 29th of June. The live performances and album unite a diverse array of Berlin-based and international artists, each a visionary in their own right. With an impressive collection of 44 tracks spanning four hours, this extraordinary release serves as a testament to the forefront of techno and adjacent genres, showcasing the bleeding-edge of contemporary club sounds.

Yet, this magical gathering isn’t just about the mesmerizing melodies and pulsating rhythms—it’s about resonating with the world beyond, about making a tangible, positive difference. When you step into the enchanting realm of this musical odyssey, you’re not merely a spectator, you’re an active participant in the tapestry of change. Each note that reverberates, each ticket that finds a home, becomes a part of something much larger—a chorus of goodwill. Every cent summoned by the sales of this harmonious compilation will be generously passed forward, finding its purpose in the coffers of two extraordinary organizations.

The White Helmets, who tirelessly strive to provide aid and assistance in conflict zones, and Germany’s Welthungerhilfe organization, dedicated to combating hunger and poverty worldwide.

“Now more than ever, the world needs the solidarity and support of its creative communities,” says KEYI Magazine. “The challenges we face are vast and varied, from the harrowing events of the Ukraine war to the devastating impact of the recent earthquake in Turkey and the ongoing crisis in Syria. It is in times like these that artist, musicians, and the wider nightlife community must stand together, utilizing their platforms to promote positive change. Through “Sonic Reflections,” we invite you to not only revel in the cutting-edge sounds of the underground but also to make a tangible impact on the lives of those in need. By joining this sonic movement, you become part of a collective force that transcends borders and genres, leveraging the universal language of music to bring hope, support, and compassion to those who need it most.”
