Superbooth 2019: news, video and more from the show floor
The electronic music world descends on Berlin
Initially a bit-part player at the Frankfurt Musikmesse, Superbooth is now a successful standalone show for electronic musicians, and one that’s going from strength to strength.
It’s transcended its modular roots to become a must-attend event for hi-tech hounds of all synth, sound design and production persuasions, so naturally, MusicRadar is there.
The 2019 show takes place at Berlin’s FEZ between 9 and 11 May, and it’s shaping up to be the busiest ‘Booth yet. From boutique modular mavens to mainstream synth manufacturers, almost all the big hitters are here, and there are plenty of software developers in the house, too.
We’ll keep this page updated with all our Superbooth stories, so keep checking back for all the latest product launches and creative happenings.
