Clubsterben - The Death of Clubs

A few weeks ago we shared a jovial look at the Berlin Clubbing scene and it's awkward intersection with gentrification, commercial real estate, and changing fashions. Here we have a more dissected look from news outlet DW News reporting on recent closures in the city and the impact it's had on the scene overall. At a time when music revenue for artists is becoming harder to find, there is a clear knock on effect in the real world - with cost of property influencing entry ticket prices, new legislation reducing noise in certain areas, as well as less disposable income for punters among the myriad of factors in this change. 

Here's the video reference above if you need a more light hearted appraisal of the situation:
