Digitalism: « Optimism » DJ Set + Signing

Digitalism bring a DJ set and signing to Rough Trade Berlin on 28 May 2026, celebrating the release of their new album Optimism on Magnetism Records. The Hamburg duo of Jens Moelle and İsmail “Isi” Tüfekçi forged their name where club culture meets indie energy, from early 2000s cuts like Zdarlight and Idealistic to albums that fold pop structures into direct, dance‑ready electronics — Idealism, I Love You Dude and Mirage. Their remixes for The White Stripes, Daft Punk, Depeche Mode and The Cure have long traced a neat bridge between rock textures and the floor. In 2024, rapper Zartmann sampled their early track Pogo, bringing it to a new wave of listeners.

Behind the decks, Digitalism balance sleek melodies, punchy basslines and crisp, percussive builds, navigating between club tools and songs. For this Berlin date, expect Optimism highlights alongside catalogue favourites and a few unexpected turns, followed by a signing session with the duo. A focused encounter with Digitalism’s magnetic blend, right in the aisles of Rough Trade Berlin.
