DJ couple SpatzHabibi balance Berlin's nightlife with parenthood

DJ duo SpatzHabibi have been part of the underground club
scene in Berlin for years.  These days, when not looking
after their son, Sophie Funke and Pete Littlewood can be found
performing at venues around the city and running their label
Polychrome Sounds.


Creating their own label in Berlin “wasn’t 100% about music… it
was a lot about just being involved and creating like a kind of
community or a family feeling; that’s what the label feels like,”
said Littlewood. And how do they balance this creative life with
the demands of their own family? “What helps a lot is that Otis
is pretty chilled out.” That, and the ability to keep an entire
music library in their pocket thanks to digital technology: “less
to carry!”


Marlene Melchior catches up with the duo-turned-trio to discuss
life with a baby, their label, and what’s coming up in the
alternative music scene in Berlin.
