PSFK Germany is proud to announce checkdisout, the first installment in our new panel series. Every two months our German office based in Hamburg will curate panel discussions on topics from the fields of society, arts, media and culture.
Our local partners for this venture are the publishing house Gingko Press, well-known for their select design and arts titles from the likes of Shepard Fairey or Marshall McLuhan and the creative agency G2 Hamburg.
The first event ‘Music is Okay?!‘ will take place on November 20. It will tackle current topics surrounding the state of digital music culture. The premiere will take a close look at the status of digital music, 10 years after the introduction of music-sharing service Napster, apart from the major labels’ mourning and lack of creativity. The following speakers have been confirmed:
Oke Göttlich (CEO Finetunes)
Eric Wahlforss (Co-Founder of SoundCloud)
Marga Glanz (Owner Groovecity)
Ruben Jonas Schnell (CEO ByteFM)
The tickets for this event are extremely limited, so be quick and catch one via the checkdisout microsite (in German). Within the next weeks you can read a series of interviews with the panelists on PSFK.
For our next events in 2009 you can expect themes such as Creative Collaboration, New Publishing, Branded Utility and New Art.
If you don’t know about Lala, you’re missing out. Pretty cool, from what could be my favorite new site, Lala.com.

Good line up. Expecially those guys from labels who are not into restrictive drm. Will be nice to hear about future thoughts on online music shops.

Hey folks,
sounds really great! I am looking forward to it and expect inspiring discussions.
Nice that there is somebody out there that cares not only about “the big business bank crisis stuff” but focuses on the real things.
Booked my ticket and see you at this wicked event.
Bye,
