Booming Berlin

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
In recent years, Berlin has become a destination for musicians thanks to its low cost of living, cheap rents, and creative atmosphere. Still, some critics wonder if the city has already peaked and the lifestyle that drew musicians here in the 1990s could soon be a thing of the past. Today, a debate over the Berlin music's present and future with musician Alec Empire, a founding member of the band Atari Teenage Riot as well as founder of Berlin's Digital Hardcore Recordings; and Birgit Herdlitschke, a filmmaker, journalist and editor of "Tracks," an arts program on Europe’s ARTE TV network.
