The music of Berlin-based techno DJ Ellen Allien is inextricably linked to her German hometown, as reflected in such records as STADTKIND (CITY KID) and, more explicitly, BERLINETTE. Allien crafts a love letter to her beloved city in THE OTHER SIDE, which presents tourguide-style footage of her favorite Berlin nightclubs, bars, shops, and restaurants set to a sampler of German electronic music, drawing on everything from house to new-wave to glitchtronica to Morr Music-like melodicism via tracks from Plastikman, Miss Kitten, Booka Shade, Rhythm & Sound, and Wayne County & the Electric Chairs.
