Berlin Wibes is the label of Sound Dogma Berlin founder and Bass music producer, Christian Ogrinz, a.k.a. Wasserstoff, in cooperation with Paradise Worldwide. Through networking in Berlin and internationally, his team has produced a global sound, with a mix of Gqom, Amapiano, Reggae, House, and Minimal.
Berlin Wibes recently did a session at Riverside Studios with Soundz of the South from Cape Town, with an imminent joint release for 2022. The Berlin Core Team is made up of Wasserstoff, Waynette Posch (media/club), Martin Burkard (co-production/sound), and Henrike Ott (graphics/contacts).
Starting the 26th of August, Berlin Wibes is releasing 8 singles, and their first self-titled album with 15 tracks to follow on the 10th of February 2023.

Featured artists on the tracks are Marechal Mendy (Reggae vocalist, Dakar), Ali Haydar Timisi (Turkish Anatolian folk singer and instrumentalist, Istanbul), Jah Moko Family (Reggae vocalist from Mali, now Dakar), Msoke (Reggae artist, Zurich), and Ben Hafane (Rap artist, Lyon). The artistic concept reflects the stereotypes of current contemporary history. While the songs are characterized by a yearning for peace and freedom and the desire for more equality and independence; standing for qualitative relevance through diversity.
Berlin Wibes is working in parallel on a Trap/Drill series in a Berlin/Hamburg/Cape Town collaboration: where female MCs in Germany are presented, supported, and empowered by means of features by the legendary MC Zulu (Chicago), the Reggae prizewinner Mame Baye Fall (Dakar), and JsideB, who the radio has named as one of the Top 5 Rappers from Senegal.
