Melt-Festival is celebrating its final edition this weekend after more than 25 years. We spoke to the legendary Ellen Allien, who has played the festival more than anyone, about her memories from the famous Sleepless Floor over the years, and what made Melt so significant to ravers in Germany and beyond. Also, Juba presents this week’s news: Honey Dijon curating a jukebox in tribute to the Stonewall Rebellion, the Blessed Madonna popping off at Rishi Sunak for using one of her songs on his socials, and DJ Mag's list of 2024's Top 100 Music Festivals.

Just a few days before her Glastonbury show Sofia Kourtesis joined us for an in-depth conversation. The Peruvian singer, producer, and DJ has lived in Berlin for 20 years now and released her debut album “Madres” last year to critical acclaim.

Together with OttO Kent, Sofia talks about being a DJ mum, approaching music like a filmmaker, and why she’s scared of playing B2B with Caribou. They also play a game in which Sofia has to assign some of her songs to Berlin clubs, and that brings back funny memories for both of them.
