AUTOMATIC NOISE BERLIN - SHOEGAZE FESTIVAL
Automatic Noise Festival lands in Berlin for its first edition in the city after six editions in Amsterdam. The international shoegaze festival will take place on 19 September 2026, at Mikropol in Berlin, featuring Mahogany (USA), Resplandor (Netherlands), Attic Ocean (Germany), and Part Garden (Netherlands).
A night of walls of sound, distortion, ethereal vocals, and beautiful noise.
Mahogany (USA)
Mahogany dovetails elements of post-punk, shoegaze, disco and classical into futuristic, architectural, symphonic compositions. Duo Andrew Prinz and Jaclyn Slimm combine vocals, twin 12-string guitars, massive bass, densely sequenced rhythms, and a variety of synthesizers and samplers for an immersive effect known as the "Hypercube."
The Mahogany discography already comprises two critically acclaimed full-length albums, The Dream of the Modern Day and Connectivity!, as well as numerous singles, EPs and compilation tracks collected on the double-disc Memory Column.
Production, design, and remixes for artists including Ulrich Schnauss, The Veldt, and Lovesliescrushing aside, more recent Mahogany work includes an expansive 8-minute composition, “Phase Break,” and the limited deluxe vinyl single “A Scaffold,” hailed by Brooklyn Vegan as “a real zoomer with atmospheric vapor trails wrapping around its ethereal melody.”
Performing live with artists like Anika, Jonathan Bree, Vampire Weekend, Spoon, Bloc Party, Interpol, Luna, and Broadcast, Mahogany has garnered reviews and features in Pitchfork, The Wire, The New York Times, NME, The Guardian, ZOO Magazine, and more.
