For the coming Thursday-to-Sunday stretch, September 24–27, Haus der Sinne offers a particularly concise route through Berlin music at close range. Two dates, separated by a day, give the room contrasting jobs: on Thursday, Cathrin Pfeifer presents the record-release concert for upside down; on Saturday, Perfect Match Festival assembles Kitty Solaris, YANEQ & CHERIE, Sable Season and MARX. The shared setting is the point. One evening focuses attention on the evolving vocabulary of a single player; the other lets four approaches pass through the same stage, from indie and electro-pop to jazz-grounded hip-hop, shoegaze, songwriter material and noise. It is a useful small-scale way to approach the weekend calendar.[1][2][5][6]
Thursday: Cathrin Pfeifer expands the accordion
Pfeifer arrives at Haus der Sinne on Thursday, September 24, at 20:00 with her ninth solo release, upside down. The venue places the concert on its Kellerbühne and lists a 20:00–22:30 window, lending the performance the shape of an evening with room for development. Its description makes the method unusually clear: complex rhythms and jazz arrangements meet improvisation, live sampling, voice and electronics. It also describes an accordion treated physically as well as melodically—tapped, drummed, clapped, clicked and sung through. That detail matters because it gives the show a practical listening cue: follow how acoustic gestures become layered material in real time, and how a solo instrumental performance can work with the density of an ensemble.[1][3][5]

A record release built from many registers
The musical terrain attached to upside down is broad and specific. Haus der Sinne identifies tango-like waltzes, Voodoo blues, flamenco-inflected rhythms, minimal music, imagined soundtracks, invented folklore and dance-oriented grooves among Pfeifer’s reference points. The event page presents those materials as original compositions shaped by voice and live electronics. For listeners accustomed to filing the accordion under a fixed tradition, this is the week’s sharpest invitation to hear the instrument as a source of rhythm, texture and electronic transformation. Pfeifer’s own site also maps a practice across solo work, band projects, Trezoulé and Madagascar-related projects, reinforcing the sense of an artist with several working contexts behind this one-night release concert.[1][3][5]
Saturday: Perfect Match opens the bill outward
Saturday, September 26, shifts to a four-act programme beginning at 20:00. Kitty Solaris leads the Perfect Match Festival after releasing James Bond in 2024; her official site describes her work as Berlin-based indie, electro and pop, while locating her writing around electric guitar, voice, direct hooks and a mellow, melancholic cast. Around that centre, the venue’s bill gives YANEQ & CHERIE a hip-hop/jazz designation, Sable Season an indie/shoegaze/pop slot, and MARX a songwriter/noise role. The showcase moves through four clearly drawn approaches. The live context adds useful focus to Kitty Solaris’s catalog while making space for newer work: Haus der Sinne describes Sable Season as a Berlin quartet formed in 2026, and identifies MARX’s Good Bye Atelier SHOXXXBOXXX as a song concerned with a lost creative space and Berlin gentrification.[2][4][6]
