Pulse 2026 ran late into the night across our campus. Two stages, a vinyl market, art installations — and a room where the bass was heavy enough to feel through the walls outside.
Student Malte Weber wrote about the night for our article, moving between the Social Stage and the heavier, more experimental performances happening deeper inside the building.

This year's ceremony ran exactly as it should: loud, generous, a little emotional.
We handed part of this blog to student Anka Kiladze, who wrote about the Catties from inside the room. What it felt like, what stood out, why the atmosphere matters as much as the awards.
The winners are in there too. Read it on our blog (👉 https://catalyst-berlin.com/stories/catties-2026)

Juan breaks down his vocals
"Changing our surroundings can trigger a change in our perspective, allowing us to see the work through fresh eyes" �– Legendary music producer, Rick Rubin
Stuck inside a dark room? Take a page out of Juan's book. In this video, he walks us through his vocal processing chain, focussing on character and space.

"It’s small and it’s simple... but even a simple note can sound so huge."
Eleonor pushes the Moog Minitaur beyond standard bassline duty in this month's episode. Watch how she treats the instrument as a gateway to experimentation and making a heavy sound.
