Venue: Workish.Berlin, Harzer Str. 39.
Doors Open: 18:45

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Gossamer Sea is the independent dream pop duo of Mia and David, conceived in Berlin last year. They are inspired by the vastness of the ocean and its consciousness, of lightsome indeterminacy, and sharing their collective spirit to widen consciousness in music. Their music weaves disparate sounds together, ethereal vocals and reverb-soaked guitars, esoteric found sounds and synthesised textures, punctuated by electronic beats. They released their first single, Alice's Lost Land, in December 2025, and their new single Butterfly in March 2026, with an album to follow later in the year.
Together, Paula Klein, Sandro Cecchin and, since 2022, Philipp Appel are the trio MINKA. They move stylistically between introspective indie, experimental soundscapes and melancholic playfulness. Musically situated somewhere between PJ Harvey, Fink, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and dark wave influences, Minka develop their very own sound characteristic by their atmospheric, grounded and emotionally accessible music.
The songs emerge from the interplay of different musical backgrounds Sandro brings influences from metal and fingerstyle guitar, Philipp combines indie, post-punk and classic rock, whilst Paula offers a stylistic range from jazz choir to grunge. Since then, Minka have been establishing a growing and unique presence on the Berlin music scene with their distinctive sound, whether at intimate living room concerts or alternative stages.
Kathi Deakin is a British-German artist who explores themes such as loss, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm in her music. Her sound — like her emotional world — is multilayered, intense, and at times overwhelming. In July 2024, she released her debut single “Fairy” — a shimmering sonic landscape woven with longing and fragility. This lesbian love song celebrates the power of femininity. This was followed by three more singles. In May, she opened the concert for Freak Slug (UK) at Badehaus Berlin. Kathi’s father, a drummer himself, taught her how to play the drums and guitar — together they would sing songs by artists like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver. These musical roots continue to shape her artistic expression to this day. October 2025 her debut album Perennial was released. Honesty and love twinkle in between fear and pain.
Pop-Up Sessions is a concert series curated and promoted by 310sessions that blends community, collaboration, and a deep love for live music. In partnership with local venues across Berlin, we create community-driven spaces that showcase Berlin's music landscape and beyond, transforming them into alternative stages for emerging artists.
Each session is an opportunity to connect and share experiences through music. Come relax in Liane's comfortable atmosphere for an evening of captivating storytelling and music.
