CTM 2025: »Close The App, Make The Ting« with Elijah
Returning to silent green in 2025 for their 26th edition, CTM Festival brings a host of adventurous and transgressive concerts once more. Concerts, performances and multisensory experiences from avant-garde music ensemble 33, Heinali and Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko’s reimagining of Hildegard von Bingen, the genre-defying These New Puritans returning with their first LP since 2019, the Egyptian composer Yara Mekawei and Spooky-J – the British electronic architect behind Nihiloxica’s rhythmic force—bringing the raw intensity of traditional Bugandan percussion with the throbbing pulse of underground techno.
5:30pm: »Close The App, Make The Ting« with Elijah
Elijah—DJ, writer, lecturer and co-founder of the influential grime label Butterz—will present ideas from his »Yellow Squares« project which investigated the state of creating for DIY artists from 2021–2024 across hundreds of short notes on Instagram. The talk brings the project to a conclusion that shows the process behind the writing, visual installations, album, book and lecture series he took around the world.
Festival passes are on sale now, along with further program details. More acts, and event details and tickets will be released as of December.
For 25 years, CTM has been highlighting new strains of underground club culture and art that ventures through the weird, the challenging, the cathartic, the esoteric, the contagious, and the ecstatic – simultaneously exploring sonic histories, contexts, and political and technological entanglements.
