> We play hip-hop, jazz, dub. Everything but techno or rave dancefloor stuff <
– Dario Zenker

Anyone following Blitz Club will be familiar with our residents, the Zenker Brothers, and their multifaceted imprint Ilian Tape.

Founded in 2007 by Dario and Marco Zenker, the label has evolved from a local endeavour into an internationally acclaimed platform, recognised for its distinctive blend of deep, rhythmic techno and experimental electronics. Over time, its spectrum has expanded: from functional, UK-leaning dancefloor pressure to floating drum & bass excursions, smoky halftime cuts and pensive ambient reveries. In recent years, Ilian Tape has also reimagined the techno album format – even venturing into jazz-inspired territory.

As much as we cherish their dancefloor-focused sets, we’re especially pleased to have the brothers open our listening series Room for Music with a selection of > hip-hop, jazz, dub. everything but techno or rave dancefloor stuff < as Dario Zenker puts it.

With Rooms For Music: Blitz Listening Sessions, we lean into something quieter and perhaps more radical. Across twelve Thursday evenings, we refurnish the floor at Blitz Club into a casual bar and hangout space, complete with special drinks, as local collectives, labels and community-driven initiatives take over to curate nights devoted not to dancing, but to listening.

Inspired by classic listening sessions yet firmly rooted in Munich’s present, Rooms For Music shifts attention to the B-sides and the details between the beats, reconnecting with our former format Before The Party Starts. We open the series with evenings hosted by the labels Ilian Tape and Squama, with more to follow. Each invited group shapes its own dramaturgy: from ambient excursions, artist talks and deep techno meditations to jazz-informed dialogues, post-punk reflections and beyond. We’re excited to see these ideas unfold and where the series will go!

The dancefloor becomes a seated space for concentrated listening on Blitz’s finely tuned sound system. Donation-based entry keeps it accessible.
Rooms For Music is dedicated to sounds and sonic expressions rarely heard within the club’s walls before we close our first chapter on the Museumsinsel. We’re opening our private ritual and inviting everyone to join.
