How to get featured by Berlin media and journalists

Understand Berlin's media landscape

Berlin's journalism scene reflects the city's musical diversity, from techno-focused platforms to indie blogs covering venues like Berghain, SO36, and the Kreuzberg underground.

Research which journalists cover your genre and check their recent features to find the right fit.

What Berlin journalists look for

Berlin media professionals expect polished tracks, a clear artistic identity, and a compelling story behind your music. You don't need a massive following, but you should have quality press photos, a bio that explains your sound, and ideally some live experience or upcoming Berlin dates.

Why Berlin media matter for your music career

Berlin's music journalism ecosystem is as diverse as its club culture. From outlets covering the city's legendary techno heritage to blogs documenting emerging talent at venues like Suicide Circus and Salon zur Wilden Renate, getting media coverage in Berlin opens doors across Europe. The city's reputation as a creative capital means features here carry weight with bookers, festival programmers, and labels worldwide.

Connecting with Berlin journalists gives you access to a network that extends far beyond press coverage. Many writers have relationships with local promoters, radio hosts at stations like ByteFM, and festival curators. A feature can lead to gig opportunities at iconic venues, playlist adds, and introductions to the wider Berlin music community.
