Wer hätte das gedacht – Leipzig ist laut New York Times auf Platz 10 der “31 Places to Go in 2010″. In der von Gisela Williams verfassten Begründung heißt es u. a.:

“The city is also making a splash on the musical front. Moon Harbour Recordings and Kann Records, two indie labels producing innovative electronica from D.J.’s, are based here. Sevensol and Matthias Tanzmann will undoubtedly be lugging their laptops to Leipzig Pop Up (www.leipzig-popup.de), a trade fair and music festival taking place in May. Otherwise, gigs can be heard year-round in the city’s underbelly of abandoned factories and squats that look a lot like Berlin — maybe 10 years ago.”
