their own biography
the whole biography
Contagious is a solid blending of avant-garde experimentation and electronic music. Founded in Berlin in 2018, formed by two innovative voices from the Berlin Improvisation scene (Andrea Neumann and Sabine Ercklentz) and Mieko Suzuki, a well-crafted and creative DJ and musician who’s operating in Berlin venues and festivals since a long time. Contagious aren't just a trio. They are a whole organism. The guts from the inside of a piano, the tonearms of turntables, the puffing of a trumpet, the pulse of various effect processors and the interaction of Andrea Neumann, Sabine Ercklentz and Mieko Suzuki grow together, forming an entity, which is continuously developing. Their drive is improvisation. Their ideal state is the constant tension between action and reaction, between electronics, acoustics and experiment. Not coincidentally, the tracks on the first Contagious album were named after hermaphrodites in the animal world. Neumann, Ercklentz and Suzuki play together like a living creature, which overcomes binary opposites and is ambivalent in the best sense of the word: as enigmatic as it is alive.

the whole biography
Working for over 15 years, Mieko Suzuki is a Japanese DJ and sound artist who has been based in Berlin since 2007. Grounded in hauling deep bass, Mieko's sets create a constant tension between the delicate, the raw and the daring. Folding together and finding connections between the subtle textures and qualities of different genres, Mieko's experimental approach always gives careful attention to the space and to the people. Noise and warm ambience, rhythm and industrial resonance are improvised together to submerge you in a big adventure of electronic sound.Their RA profile lists Morphine Records and Raster.Recently at OHM, Morphine Raum, Sameheads · often with Music, Ara, CARLY FISCHER, none of them here that night
