Booka Shade: Performing Group in New York

About Booka Shade

Booka Shade is the long-running German electronic duo of Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, formed out of Frankfurt’s club and studio culture. Across ten albums and a steady run of EPs, their work moves between house framework and live-performance structure, with careful attention to arrangement. In New York City, they bring that approach to stages such as Knockdown Center, including bills alongside artists like Sainte Vie and Mateo b2b Eli. Their sets favor precision over spectacle, letting small shifts in rhythm and harmony do the work.
