The Soundcloud release party (May 11, 2pm - late) was the kind of very Berlin party that is quite rare in Berlin these days. Their office in the attic of Postfuhramt has a terrace from which it is possible to climb on the roof.

Vertigo was definitely a small talk topic while people were chilling and even dancing up there. Of course the live performances were loud enough for tourists as well as cops patrolling Oranienburger Straße to hear it and get curious. My expectations were not disappointed when looking in the face of the first cop, who entered the terrace and saw the crowd hanging out on that roof. After the first shock and after seeing that nobody protested when they were asked to get off the roof, the cops were pretty laid back and were even interested in what kind of a web start up would be organizing this funky event. Very Berlin.

Besides the (anticipated) cop incident, there were great performances and live music:

Mesak (FI), Fabio Genito (IT), Cornelia (SE, Live), Le Choix (SE, Live), Little Jinder (SE, Live), Bookhouse Boys (SE, Live), Kalle Kuts (GER), Snax (US, Live PA), Trickski (GER), Quarion (CH), Jack Migger (GER, Live), Ben Mono (GER), Michelle Owen (AUS), Noema (GER), Dirk Rumpff (GER), Andre Lodemann (GER), Hunee (GER), Hauke Freer (GER), DJ Humus (IL), Cloud (SE), Barbara Hallama (GER), Yeah Fool! (SE/US), Der Klaus (GER), Exit Ghost (GER), SoundCloud DJ team (SE-GER)

The list may not be entirely up to date. You need to be a Soundcloud member to listen to the music (currently invitation only).
