Cologne resident, author, culture journalist & filmmaker, Julian Brimmers has shaped music storytelling across a plethora of platforms - from Red Bull Music Academy to The Paris Review, and today at @le_guess_who Festival.
His work spans podcasts, books, and film - ranging from the award-winning Trauma Loveparade podcast to esteemed music documentaries such as “We Almost Lost Bochum” and “Evil-E – Eva Ries und der Wu-Tang Clan”, and recent editorial projects including his German translation of MF DOOM – Chroniken einer Hip-Hop-Ikone.
His playlist is a deeply subjective journey through the Cologne sound, moving across eras, scenes, and personal memory - less history lesson, more lived experience.
