The Music Hackday continues its endless journey in the search of the best music hacks around. After taking London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Boston and Stockholm by storm, San Francisco is the next city to get its fair share of music hacking and next generation music applications on May 15/16. If you haven’t heard of the hackday yet, it’s a full weekend of hacking where total music geeks like us people get together and create something beautiful out of music, hardware, art and the web.

What is the Music Hack Day? Music Hack Day is an un-conference style event where hackers & coders and companies providing an open API work together on new web/software/music projects in just a short weekend. The first Music Hack Day took place in the London offices of the Guardian where more than 30 new projects saw the light of the day, Citysounds.fm is just one of the very cool applications created on the first event.

We're excited, to say the least, that Music Hack Day is coming to our home town Berlin. And while you're in Berlin, make sure to check out some of the other cool events happening next week such as the Berlin Music Days or the #camp.
