Fusion 2011, some fragmentary impressions

by insti2te

Instead of telling you everything we have experienced at Fusion-Festival this year (too many stories for this small space) we decided to give you a little overview about some interesting acts we’ve seen and share some pictures.

individualusername:

At first i want to mention Bingo Ingo & Die Bingo Band, who made an crazy combination of Bingo-Rock ( with songs like “In the Mood for Bingo” or “Sweet Bingo Boy” ) and a Bingo-Gala,  which I really enjoyed. We´ve managed to win 2 bottles of champagne and lots of booze there, that helped us to survive the rainy fusion nights. Another great act was Tour de Vinyl , who did an perfomance with a laptop and 2 hometrainer-bikes, that where moving the turntables, playing some comedy and audio-drama records. I also really enjoyed the gig of Toni Haupt & Band , playing an mostly improvised slow semi-electric concert at the dubstation, with live-vocals, drums, a horn-section and a laptop, getting all the dubheads up to dance. Another interesting concert I´ve seen, was by Station 17 , a band out of people with Down´s  Syndrom, who where really rocking the floor with an energetic mixture out of technoid Krautrock, Dub and Hip-Hop. But most of all I enjoyed the gig of Guru Guru, who are a legendary and very influental german Kraut- and Acid-Rock group, playing constantly since the late 60´s and alltough they are ( as i suppose ) all over 70 now, still make totally freaked-out live-shows, as you can see in this video for example.

and very few pictures from dr0fn0thing:

(it was so rainy…)

there is a pretty professional video out there, too professional and clean to represent this festival or any of the more freaky parts that individualusername recommended above, but whatever (let’s not romantisize retrounderground culture and crypto elitism), i’ll just embed it here for you to watch:

free downloads: Sloth EP by Dysphemic

by fancypunk

This is the new EP (released at 22nd of June 2011) of our Australian friend -Dysphemic ,  a release which I was waiting for some time now. Dubstep-drum n bass-hip hop-glitchhop rythms and vocals are the main feature on this EP , like the previous dysphemic releases indeed. In my opinion the new EP is probably the best one so far , containing 3 tracks ( sloth , begging for more and tunnel vision). Sloth , the first track of this EP , with no doubt , it represents the sound of dysphemic  as we know it from the previous tracks and releases. The second track “begging for more” in collaboration with Heinz and the “tunnel vision” with Miss ELisa on the  amazing vocals and violin (perhaps my favorite track on this release) gives a taste of what we have to expect on the long awaited classical remix album ,  soon to be dropping late 2011.

You can download the new dysphemic EP , in any format you like here

Reminder: Institute Party this Friday

by individualusername

Just one day left untill the Institute Party in Berlin and we are all really excited about it. This time we collaborate with the guys from the action comitee for neuronal enhancement (A.K.N.E.) and the party will take part at both floors of  marvellous Levee-Club, which has become one of my personal favourite clubs in Berlin so far, because of its wonderful atmosphere and the damned good speakers there. We will feature some exhibitions and video-screenings by young Berlin artist as well as some stuff by Institute-members from Athens and decoration by Totalumbau, who allready did a great job at the first A.K.N.E.-Party last year at Raum18.                                                                                                               As musicians we invited some of our favourite Live-Acts and Dj´s ranging from more experimental stuff to highly danceable housemusic.                                               The opening of the upper floor will be done by Affaire Zweifuss, who you may remember from the artist-feature or his exclusive-mix, we had on the blog. He will be followed by Dr.Nojoke, who plays an special 2h-Clikno-live-set and has prepared a lot of new, unheard stuff for the Party. After the Doctor,  The Marx Trukker will start playing one of his unique, analog Acid- live-sets. You can check an interview we  had with him some months ago here. The next one  will be Funkenström, who is well known for catchy, housy live-sets and his great releases on the Netlabel Symbiont-Music. Then its time for Wesenberg, a young upcoming Live-Act, with an fresh and seducing sound somewhere between Minimal,House and Dub. After him B.Wurst & Schlendrian Klimperbeat from  A.K.N.E. and the Berlin Shituationist will play some afterhourish Techno, for those who left and close down the Party.                                                                                   The floor downstairs will be opened by Manuela Mayoral from Spain, who established in Berlin very fast with her nice Dj-Sets ranging from Vocal- & Jack-House over Disco untill Broken Beats. After her Neulich Irgendwo from Potsdam will take over the turntables with his  unique blend of Disco-House and Oldschool-Classics and will be followed by Bastian Kurzweil from the Dienstagswelt-crew, who is  known  for his crazy, uplifting Techhouse-Sets.           So far thats all I can tell you about the Party. I hope to see you all there, spending an great powerraving night with the Berlin Shituationists !

record reviews: Boards of Canada the campfire headphase

by fancypunk

The Campfire headphase is the third studio album of Boards of Canada released by Warp records in 2005. I was constantly listening again this album  last week, rethinking a bit  about the style of Boards of Canada in general. Actually the album took the duo 3 years to finish , I think totally understand why. It seems that a long discussion was taking place among these guys about music and life in general. All the tracks of this album are unique , perhaps I would like to remark Dayvan cowboy , Sherbet Head and Hey Saturday sun because was the inspiration for listening the whole album twice 2 days ago. The atmosphere that the music of the album creates can’t really be compared with a lot of other albums,  but in the other hand  is definitely  following the progressive style of warp music. A label which for over 20 years is releasing probably the best  albums of intelligent experimental electronic music and beyond. The melodies , the guitars and the feeling i get from the music is  like the first time I was in love , listening to some clever music and traveling with my mind ..or when I was rather feeling urbanist and nostalgic walking with my mp3 player in the center of the big metropolis I was born . I feel that this album is highly recommended to those people who gets what I m trying to describe previously. I know that many of my friends forgot currently that this album exists , so this is the right time to listen to it again ..so take your mp3 player and go for a walk in a big city street where ever you are. The campfire headphase  will show you the way

Documentary on Elephants in camden town

by fancypunk

A documentary on rare species filmed in Camden town ( London)

Ftrazesko Perrotti was the person behind this short experiment in Camden wearing an elephant musk and having as a task to perform in his mask from Camden Tube Station to Mornington Crescent Station exploring the reaction of the crowd whilst walking through them.
elephant man:Frazesko Perrotti camera : Maria Konstantines Araka (under the name “Markoira” on this blog )

Im posting bellow also a text , part of  the popular of Adorno (Markoira desired it)

Under the private culture monopoly it is a fact “tyranny leaves the body free and directs its attacks on the soul”. The ruler no longer says, “You must think as I do, or die”. He says, “You are free not to think as I do, your life, your property, everything shall remain yours, but from this day onward you are a stranger among us”.Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer – The Dialectic of Enlightenment

The new ep of rustie recently released on warp is a great , brilliant piece of work .. totally required for everyone who likes , minimal tunes, melodies , experimental sounds and fresh ideas. I reccomend this open minded exceptional release to all of you .. it deserves respect and probably your money , you can buy it here. Actually one of the most impressive eps i listened  recently , therefore highly recommended by me today. We expect more cool stuff like this one  by rustie in the future and probably a new album?.
