PEOPLE Mixtape Presents: Simon Herody, Ugne Uma, Jeremy Black, Manual Jesus & Gordi

Simon Herody – Hard Lounge Album Release featuring Ugne Uma, Jeremy Black and Manuel Jesus

Plus Special Guest: Gordi 

July 6, 7pm, Michelberger Hotel, Berlin – Courtyard

This open-air summer event takes place in our beautiful courtyard, setting the stage for a warm and immersive night of collaboration and music. Simon Herody, a rising force in Berlin’s music scene presents his debut album, Hard Lounge, with special collaborations with Lithuanian vocalist Ugne Ume, multi-instrumentalist Manual Jesus and producer/drummer Jeremy Black.

Simon, a young French musician and sound artist, is known for his emotionally rich, improvisation-driven performances that blend saxophone, piano, and flute with raw electronic textures and tape loops. Entirely self-taught, his work explores the intersection of memory, space, and deep listening — crafting meditative soundscapes that slow down time and dissolve the boundaries between genres.

We’re also thrilled to welcome Australian artist Gordi, known for her lush, emotionally resonant songwriting and collaborations with Bon Iver. Her acclaimed 2020 album Our Two Skins cemented her as one of Australia’s most affecting voices in indie and electronic music — weaving vulnerability and spacious production into songs that land with quiet force.

To round out the night, DJs OSSIOS and NOB will guide the evening through lush, deep selections spanning soul, ambient, global grooves, and leftfield electronics.

Come join us as we celebrate collaboration, community, and music under the summer sky.
