BERLIN OPEN AIR with HALLO MONTAG (Chopstick and Johnjon)

Berlin Music, Music community, Podcast · December 16, 2019

In this episode, I will talk about Berlin Open Air with the founders of a unique project last summer that surprised me and became my fixed date every Monday: Hallo Montag.

Two elements struck me: the first was the location – IPSE is one of the best Open Air Clubs you can find in Summer in Berlin.

The second one is the vibe: a fantastic atmosphere with a great sound system and an exciting music selection by young talented DJs based in Berlin.

The events were free and started at 2 PM. The cool thing was that they were broadcast live on Facebook for all the people who had no way to come there. 

The goal was to take the horror off Mondays and replace it with a joyful feeling.

Thien and John are the founders of Hallo Montag and heads of the Suol music label. 

Last week I interviewed them to understand how this project was born and the world of Open Air events in Berlin.
