Stir Up The Ashes or S.U.T.A, is an independent Berlin publisher and record label that since 1987, brings the best work of unpublished artists, musicians and poets in Berlin to the wider world. Only works of the highest quality are presented for the enjoyment and enlightenment of all.

New releases from young artists in Berlin feature alongside archival material from artists and projects from Berlin’s heady hedonistic past! Now, for the first time, the entire back-catalogue of Stir Up The Ashes will be digitally remastered and be released online.

SUTA is a refuge of otherness from a once divided but reunited Berlin. Fiercely ephemeral many of the projects from SUTA are marvellous mayflies, one-time wonders.

Stir up the Ashes of fires left burning, smoldering, since the cultural and musical upheaval of the revolution wrought by the tsunami of rock in the 60s.

To dust is dedicated all our misgivings, fears, hopes and desires. Stir up the ashes of the petals of exotic blooms, that have long since faded, wilted and crumbled into dust.

The raw, inspired passions of those heady years of celebration and revolt still smolder within. „Stir up the Ashes“ shines light in dark places, the caves and pockets of resistance against a flood of spiritually-bereft consumer culture that ridicules reflection, risk-taking and resistance.

SUTA offers sanctuary for lovers of art, music, prose and poetry of those unleavened, unwise, unheard-of eccentricities that fail to conform to the tepid expectations of those who cannot be named of those who wished to be tamed.

Open your ears and eyes and your heart will follow. Stir up the ashes of passions past to plunder the present.
