21.04.07> D1 & N-TYPE live in Berlin via freakcamp.net !

Sa. // 21.04.07 // VCF

Rochstraße // Bogen 132-133 // Berlin-Mitte
S/U Alexanderplatz

Freak Camp Session

D1 (Tempa / UK)
N-Type (Rinse FM, Terrain Rec., Tempa / UK)
Subeena b2b Dot (Immigrant Records / UK)
Freak Camp DJs – B2B sets
hosted by MC Whylee (Freak Camp)

14kw sound system @ the venue!

Änderung: Leider musste der bisher angekündigte Headliner Benga seinen Auftritt absagen! Als mehr als gleichwertigen Ersatz haben wir kurzfristig D1 verpflichtet.

Nach dem großen Erfolg der Session im Rahmen des Club Transmediale legt die Freak Camp Crew nach und holt mit Benga, N-Type, Subeena und Dot zwei tragende Säulen und zwei vielversprechende Newcomer der Londoner Dubstep-Szene in die Hauptstadt.

D1 gehört zusammen mit Skream und Benga zur jungen Generation von Produzenten, die den Sound des Londoner Untergrunds in den vergangenen Jahren revolutioniert haben. Als Sohn eines Jungle-Produzenten wurde ihm die Rave-Tradition quasi mit der DNS vererbt, als ausgebildeter Saxophonist sind ihm auch traditionelle Instrumente nicht fremd. Seine Musik vereint diese Einflüsse – schwere Beats und Bässe, sowie warme Melodien – zu einem unverwechselbaren eigenen Stil.

N-Type wurde im Dezember 2006 von der internationalen Dubstep-Community (www.dubstepforum.com) zum besten DJ des Jahres gewählt und zudem für seine Radiosendung auf dem Londoner Sender Rinse FM ausgezeichnet. Er stellt gerade den fünften Teil der Mix-CD-Serie „Dubstep Allstars“ zusammen.

Subeena und Dot sind zwei talentierte Produzentinnen und DJs mit italienischem, bzw. slowenischem Background, die seit einiger Zeit in London für Aufsehen sorgen. Bei der Freak Camp Session werden sie ihr unveröffentlichtes Material in einem gemeinsamen DJ-Set vorstellen.

English:

Line-up change: Sadly we have to announce that Benga will not be able to play in Berlin. But we’ve found an adequate replacement: D1 is going to smash the dancefloor alongside N-Type, Subeena and Dot.

Freak Camp Session returns with a big line-up featuring Croydon’s forward-thinking production wizard BENGA, multiple-award-winning turntable don N-TYPE and up-and-coming power units SUBEENA and DOT on the decks. VCF is located in the center of East Berlin (right beside Alexanderplatz) and has a 14 kw sound system.

D1 together withe the likes of Skream and Benga – is one of the young producers who have revolutionized the sound of the London underground in recent years. Born as the son of a jungle producer he literally inherited rave tradition in his DNA. As a talented saxophonist he also knows how to write a decent melody. By combining these influences he has a created a unique sound of his own.

Amon Tobin live at Berlin 19.04.07

 

Amon Tobin + Phonomat + Guest -live! 

Wo:

Lido – Berlin

 Wann:

19.04.2007 | 21 h 

 

Ninjatune&Icon present:

 am 19.4. ab 21.30h im Lido, 10997 Berlin – Kreuzberg:

 Amon Tobin (einzige Show in Deutschland)

support by Phonomat + Guest

 Eintritt: Vvk 13 Euro zzgl. Gebühren 

 Infos:

Für seine neue Produktion hat Amon Tobin seine früher gern geplünderte Schallplattensammlung einfach im Regal stehen gelassen, hat ein wenig Aufnahmeequipment eingepackt und damit unterwegs alles aufgezeichnet, was Töne und Geräusche von sich gibt. Hunde, ein CD-Presswerk, Tiger, eine Satellitenanlage, Aufziehspielzeug, Gitarren, Schlagwerk, Keyboards, Töpfe, Pfannen, Motorräder, und hundert andere Dinge.

Weitere Aufnahmen entstanden in sogenannten Foley Rooms, in welchen moderne Geräuschemacher die Sounds und Hintergrundgeräusche für Filme erzeugen, sowie mit dem Kronos Quartet und Stefan Schneider. Aus dem Vollen Schöpfen nennt man das, glaub ich. Die Musik ist trotz hohen Geräuschanteils äußerst melodisch und harmonisch, hat mal was von abstraktem Trip Hop und klingt dann wieder wie ein spannendes Hörstück.

Info
Kool Keith Bio

After single-handedly redefining “warped” as the mind and mouth behind the Bronx-based Ultramagnetic MC’s, “Kool” Keith Thornton — aka Rhythm X, aka Dr. Octagon, aka Dr. Dooom, aka Mr. Gerbik — headed for the outer reaches of the stratosphere with a variety of solo projects. A o­netime psychiatric patient at Bellevue, Keith’s lyrical thematics remained as free-flowing here as they ever were with the N.Y. trio, connecting up complex meters with fierce, layers-deep metaphors and veiled criticisms of those who “water down the sound that comes from the ghetto.” His own debut single, “Earth People” by Dr. Octagon, was quietly released in late 1995 o­n the San Francisco-based Bulk Recordings, and the track spread like wildfire through the hip-hop underground, as did the subsequent self-titled full-length released the following year. Featuring internationally renowned DJ Q-Bert (of Invisibl Skratch Piklz) o­n turntables, as well as the Automator and DJ Shadow behind the boards, Dr. Octagon’s left-field fusion of sound collage, fierce turntable work, and bizarre, impressionistic rapping found audiences in the most unlikely of places, from hardcore hip-hop heads to jaded rock critics. Although a somewhat sophomoric preoccupation with body parts and scatology tended to dominate the album, Keith’s complex weave of associations and shifting references is quite often amazing in its intricacy. The record found its way to the U.K.-based abstract hip-hop imprint Mo’Wax (for whom Shadow also records) in mid-1996, and was licensed by the label for European release (Mo’Wax also released a DJ-friendly instrumental version of the album titled, appropriately, The Instrumentalyst [Octagon Beats]).

The widespread popularity of the album eventually landed Keith at Geffen splinter DreamWorks in 1997; the label gave Dr. Octagon (retitled Dr. Octagonecologyst) its third release mid-year, adding a number of bonus cuts. In early 1999, however, Keith’s alter ego Dr. Dooom unfortunately “killed off” Dr. Octagon o­n the opening track of First Come, First Served (released o­n Thornton’s own Funky Ass label). Kool Keith signed to Ruffhouse/MCA for his second album under that alias, 1999’s Black Elvis/Lost in Space. Records released as Kool Keith followed in 2000 (Matthew) and 2001 (Spankmaster), while the 2002 collaboration Gene appeared as KHM (Kool Keith plus H-Bomb and Marc Live). His next project was a four-rapper group named Thee Undatakerz with Keith taking o­n a new persona, Reverand Tom. Kool Keith Presents Thee Undatakerz hit the streets in May 2004. Keeping busy, Keith released Diesel Truckers in August of the same year with old friend/producer KutMasta Kurt. As if 2004 weren’t filled with enough Kool Keith releases, some truly oddball o­nes started to appear that year. The Official Space Tape borrowed from previous releases to create the ultimate Keith mixtape, the R&B-leaning Personal Album was released in a limited edition of 500 and with a high price tag, plus the Real Talk label issued Dr. Octagon, Pt. 2, an unauthorized release that had little to do with the original and was quickly pulled from the shelves by court order. The next year was much calmer with the Global Enlightenment, Pt. 1 DVD being released at the beginning of the year, followed by Lost Masters, Vol. 2 in the summer. Nogatco Rd. from 2006 introduced a new character, Mr. Nogatco (Octagon backward). The U.F.O.-obsessed album was a collaboration with producer Iz-Real. The two-CD Collabs Tape compilation and the unauthorized The Return of Dr. Octagon followed soon after. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide

KutMasta Kurt Bio

One of the more underrated producers and DJs in the West Coast underground, KutMasta Kurt initially made his name working with Kool Keith, during which time he first donned his trademark Mexican wrestling mask. Kurt (b. Kurt Matlin) had been DJing in the Bay Area since the mid-’80s, getting his start as a teenager o­n a Santa Cruz community radio station. In 1988, he moved o­n to the Stanford University college station, and also mixed live at parties around the University of California-Santa Cruz campus. As his reputation grew, local MCs began to approach him about producing tracks, and he bought some basic studio equipment and taught himself to use it. After a few remixes and small independent releases, Kurt’s friendship with the groundbreaking, underappreciated Ultramagnetic MC’s paid off when, in 1994, ex-leader Kool Keith tapped Kurt to handle DJ and production duties for his new solo career. Kurt produced a couple of tracks o­n Keith’s landmark Dr. Octagon album, but their first full project together was 1997’s Sex Style, the first album released under Keith’s own name. Kurt also helmed Keith’s album as Dr. Dooom, 1999’s First Come, First Served, and 2000’s Matthew.

By the time Matthew was released, Kurt had begun to build his own career apart from Keith. He provided remixes for the likes of the Beastie Boys, Planet Asia, Rasco, DJ Spooky, Luscious Jackson, Buffalo Daughter, and Blackalicious, among others. He also formed his own label, Threshold, and in 2000 released the full-length album KutMasta Kurt Presents: Masters of Illusion, a collaborative project that featured Kool Keith and underground MC Motion Man. His relationship with Keith was fraying, however, partly because of a false rumor that Keith was missing gigs because he’d been institutionalized. Keith eventually fired him, but Kurt’s career stayed in good shape thanks to his production o­n Dilated Peoples’ 2000 breakthrough single, Work the Angles. He soon went o­n to work with Hieroglyphics members Souls of Mischief and Pep Love, and did a high-profile remix of nu-metal band Linkin Park’s single In the End in 2001. That same year, he also produced Motion Man’s well-received solo debut, Clearing the Field. Kurt was a busy man in 2004, releasing Diesel Truckers with his man Keith and his own, career-spanning compilation Redneck Games. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Tanzen Statt Marschieren: CzechTek 2006 Legal

Tschechien o­nLine, Prag – 15. Juni 2006

Free-Technoparty findet vom 27. bis 30. Juli auf Militärgelände in der Nähe von Karlsbad statt.
Im vergangenen Jahr war es beim Free-Techno-Festival CzechTek zu einem umstrittenen Großeinsatz der tschechischen Polizei mit Wasserwerfern, Tränengas und über hundert Verletzten gekommen. Im Anschluss folgte eine politische Krise. Dieses Jahr nun bemühen sich alle Beteiligten um eine umsichtige Planung des CzechTek-Festivals.
Wie vom scheidenden Verteidigungsminister Karel Kühnl (US-DEU) angeregt, wird die Technoparty in diesem Jahr auf einem Militärgelände in Hradi?tě im Kreis Karlsbad stattfinden, wie die Zeitung Hospodářské noviny (Prag) berichtet.
Darauf verständigten sich gestern der Minister und Vertreter der Assoziation tschechischer Soundsysteme, die das alljährliche Techno-Spektakel organisiert. ?Es ist im Interesse von uns allen, dass diese Aktion nicht in die Illegalität gedrängt wird?, sagte Kühnl nach dem Treffen.
Das Gelände, auf dem die Mega-Party nun vom 27. bis 30. Juli stattfinden wird, überlässt die tschechische Armee den Techno-Freaks für 24.000 Kronen. Für die Bereitstellung von sanitären Anlagen, Rettungsdiensten und die anschließenden Aufräumarbeiten werden die Veranstalter aufkommen.
Die Menschen in der Umgebung des diesjährigen CzechTek-Geländes sind von der Einigung zwischen Veranstaltern und Verteidigungsministerium nicht begeistert. ?Es geht nicht um den Lärm. Es geht darum, dass Tausende Menschen kommen, wir haben Angst vor Kriminalität?, sagte die Bürgermeisterin von Radnice, Věra Vernerová.
