The three, their existence slightly staggered, with different members, different grudges, different heartbreaks, different instrumental expressions, were joined by a string of barbed wire, piecing pigeon hearts, within the playground that was the desolate ex-capital, now again capital, Berlin a place where artists and freaks could run free amongst the wrinklies and army dodgers no microscopes, no rules, no property developers.INEOS Automotive – Grenadier – Built On Purpose

Beginning in West Berlin, in 1979, with the inception of Mania D, spawning Malaria! and later Matador in a time when music was essential to movement, to escape, to space, to the scene and to the rebellion of the people three bands stood for trial and error, trial and terror, anti- conformity, and anti-consumerism, for girl power and sticking it to the man, and for just doing whatever the hell they wanted. M-Sessions features: AGF, Lucrecia Dalt, Sonae, Midori Hirano, Islaja, Natalie Beridze, Pilocka Krach, Annika Henderson (Anika), Lupe, Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel. 2021 sees the anniversary of the 3 M’s and therewith the production of an album of songs, covering a selection of the bands’ finest output, this time assembled by a new set of feminist misfits producers, fangirls, instrumentalists, under the strict guidance of original members Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel. The three, reunited: Malaria, Matador and Mania D, unter einem Dach, but gutted, replaced with electronic hearts, new beats, new beasts, the time has changed, yet the politics, the problems, the heartache remains the same. To this day, the bands are considered visionary, they shaped a new image of women in pop culture and are pioneers and role models for the still important and necessary emancipatory movement in the music industry. The self-determined appearance of the musicians was new, raised some eyebrows and was reflected both in the music and the lyrics, but also in their unique style and the genre-crossing approach of "more art in the music, more music in the art". The three bands around their members Beate Bartel, Bettina Köster and Gudrun Gut played concerts in different formations from 1979 on, released records and toured around the world. We celebrate this 40 years retrospetive with a big festival weekend from 21.- at Silent Green from a explicitly female perspective. The project M_Dokumente focuses on the All Female bands Mania D., Malaria! and Matador in the West Berlin music and art scene of the late 1970s and 1980s.
M_DOKUMENTE // THE BOOK - THE RECORDS - THE EXHIBITION Duursma and myself selected "Rare Originals" from the repertoire of the 3 bands where we saw special relevance and beauty - these tracks are on LP2. We rediscovered live tracks, living room recordings and demo versions from our times long gone. The original core team of Beate Bartel, Bettina Köster, Manon P. I cannot imagine a better reinterpretation of the material with its real life ups and downs and with its enthusiasm. Here the form of interpretation is focussing on keeping the freedom of their improvised work and adapting it to the collective appropriation of songs. The M_Sessions involved Pilocka Krach, Beate Bartel, Midori Hirano, Mommo G, Lucrecia Dalt, Antye Greie-Ripatti, Natalie Beridze, Annika Henderson and myself. The loose collective played dozens of improvised concerts around Europe and released a studio album and live recordings in everchanging artist constellations. Founded in 2015, comprising female electronic musicians and producers from the entourage of Monika Enterprise and Moabit Musik. Monika Werkstatt seemed the perfect choice for new interpretations. Bringing the past into the now and into the future.
