Introducing NACHTS<\/h2>\n

The first project to be featured on Beatport.io is NACHTS, a multi-part art digital art collection representing the vibrant life within Berlin\u2019s techno scene. The collection is the brainchild of bouncer-turned-photographer Mischa Fanghaenel, a night club veteran of over a decade at the famous Berghain, along with input from some of Berlin\u2019s underground techno scene\u2019s most esteemed artists, including Ellen Allien,\u00a0\u00c2me,\u00a0Ben Klock,\u00a0Dixon,\u00a0DVS1,\u00a0Freddy K, and more. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe NACHTS project started during the first lockdown as an idea: If this is it, if no club in Berlin will ever open again, how are we going to preserve what we had? How are we going to memorialize this culture?\u201d Fanghaenel said in a press release. \u201cLooking at the different people that shape this culture, I understand why it\u2019s so important to have places in which everyone can simply come together and be themselves. That\u2019s why I want to share how beautiful life can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NACHTS series\u2019 first limited edition will debut August 23, spotlighting a collaborative effort with DJ and producer Len Faki. This will include a special track from Faki\u2019s latest album, along with collaborations with artists from the city\u2019s techno scene.<\/p>\n

In tandem with Berlin Art Week on September 14, Fanghaenel\u2019s NFTs will act as a ticket to an immersive portrait exhibition. <\/p>\n

NACHTS features more than 175 portraits generatively composed by AI models and accompanied by uniquely curated music made just for the occasion. Fanghaenel\u2019s portraits \u201cdisintegrate into constructivist patterns, morph into figurative forms and images, ultimately converging into comprehensive and awe-inspiring works of art.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBerlin has always been the mysterious heart of the underground techno scene,\u201d Beatport Media Services SVP Ed Hill said in the press release. \u201cThrough his portrait series NACHTS, Mischa Fanghaenel offers a rare glimpse of the artists, spaces, and sounds that make the scene what it is. We\u2019re excited for Beatport.io to be the exclusive launch partner for this collectibles series. For lovers of techno culture, this drop offers an opportunity to own an authentic slice of the scene and sets the tone for our digital marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the launch celebration, a bonus edition of the NACHTS series will be available free to mint on Beatport.io on July 27.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
