The organisers of festiVAL combined non-stop live-streams with an on-location club experience into a 24-hour global festival.

Synth pioneers through the ages • They are considered alongside Kraftwerk as one of the pioneering German electronic bands. Since 2005, Thorsten Quaeschning has been part of Tangerine Dream – that legendary formation founded by Edgar Froese in 1967 and still regarded as a pioneer of ambient and synthesizer music today.
