Saeko Killy with the Club Mirage Band: »Club Mirage«

Tokyo-born and Berlin-based, Saeko Killy is a producer, live performer, and DJ known for her haunting, pulse communication-driven sets. Her sound fuses new wave, post-punk, trip-hop, dub, industrial, and krautrock into a unique sonic language.
 »Club Mirage« is a 50-minute live set divided into five to six loosely connected sections, designed to flow organically through music and visuals rather than abrupt transitions – all staged as an imaginary tropical disco. The audience drifts onto a mysterious island and into a surreal sonic ritual led by Saeko, with drummer Manuel Chittka & guitarist Sebastian Lee Philipp (Die Wilde Jagd) on the stage – and psychedelic visuals by Hypnagogia.TV. With motorik grooves, dry-toned guitar, and playful samples – bird calls, xylophone, percussion – the performance channels krautrock and the tropical surrealism of Martin Denny. Hypnagogic visuals and hypnotic sound textures create a dreamlike state that invites the audience to move, drift, and rediscover their bodies through sound.
