The older much wiser brother of the BKI is the BMI – Berlin Mitte Institut für Bessere Elektronische Musik.
The BMI is a collective of some music enthusiasts who are running a platform for the experimentation of concepts related to electronic music culture. Currently, the main crew of the BMI consist of Fresh Meat, who has been running the show with Kandel for the last couple of years.
The BMI broadcasts bi-weekly (since October 2006) each and every second Monday from 7 pm CET till midnight on Shouted.FM in LIVE video and audio streaming. After the shows, snippets and recordings are made available to watch, listen to and download on YouTube and SoundCloud.
During their shows, Fresh Meat and Kandel make the effort not just to play great music, but also to get their guests to open up and give a deeper look at what makes them tick – live and uncut!
The playlists include national and international electronic “players”, who will talk about their definition of “better electronic music”. The BMI has already presented various labels, clubs, event promoters and other concepts such as Minus, Mobilee, Berghain/Panorama Bar, Get Physical, Poker Flat and many more…
Once a month the BMI airs the “New Releases Show” to showcase the latest releases of labels and unsigned artists, big and small, and give comments and feedback.
