A London club "Factory" becomes an art gallery

Club Fabric , in cooperation with the London museum , becomes the first club in the world with a museum residence, exhibition and program. The collaboration was opened with a performance by the award-winning artist Tai Shani as part of the contemporary art festival "ART NIGHT". The British artist's performance is a prelude to a series of art events that the London museum will hold at the fabric club. In 2024, the London museum will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Fabric with a major exhibition that will show how the iconic club influenced the development of London's nightlife. The co-founder of the club, Cameron Leslie, stated that they were delighted with the invitation to cooperate and pointed out,  "This is a significant moment for us, the club and our way to brand the fabric as a key cultural brand. This cooperation is a key stage in our plans for the big celebration of the 25th birthday in 2024". [source]

Croatian house club where photography and filming is fibrined

In Dubrovnik a new nightclub " Dubina ", will host everything from jazz to house :)  Nipplepeople performed at the opening, and the program continued on weekend with DJ guest appearances Demi Riquísimo and Dyook. A few days ago, the club posted 10 house rules on its FB that you will need to follow if you want to dance on the floor. A few of them are certainly particularly interesting, such as: 1. no guest list 2. persons 21+ are allowed to enter 3. Prohibition of photography and filming during the stay in Dubina 4. A DJ is not a jukebox [ source ]

We would like to thank all night owls for their understanding of this temporary protective measure. With the small detour to the test site, you are making a major contribution to the safe reopening o

City od Vilnius releases "Socially Distanced" XMas LP

Group of seven Lithuanian electronic music producers have released Re-Xmas, a ‘socially distanced’ Christmas album commemorating the “extraordinary” 2020 festive season. As a video on the Re-Xmas project website explains, the album features reworkings of traditional Christmas songs, including ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘Silent Night and ‘O Christmas Tree’ (‘O Tannenbaum‘), by top local talent.  The ‘ social distancing ’ element sees the composers adding two equal intervals of pause – symbolising two metres’ distance – after each note from the song’s main melody. Every note from a song’s main melody was followed by two equal-length intervals of pause. This gave notes more space and made rhythms much slower, but that was only the beginning.  Contributors include dark-techno DJ Alex Krell, ambient producer Fume and experimental electronic duo Lakeside Culture , with the album’s release supported by Lithuanian DJ collection Antidote Community .  Antidote Community · Re-Xmas The project a

No dancing, just listening: Berlin techno club Berghain reopens doors

Coronavirus is keeping Berlin's techno clubs closed but Berghain has found a way to throw its doors back open, luring visitors with an unusual sound exhibition.  Visitors listen to the sound installation 'eleven songs – halle am berghain' at Berghain club in Berlin on July 24, 2020. (AFP/Stefanie Loos) Just 50 people are let in at a time to allow for physical distancing, but without the venue's notoriously picky doormen standing guard, no one has to worry about being denied entry.  The sound of techno will not fill the space during this first installation. Instead, visitors to the former power plant are enveloped by an eery, almost surreal soundscape of rhythmic throbbing, soft city noises, murmurings and even the whirling of helicopter blades.  "You listen, you experience, you can close your eyes or leave them open and follow the sound across the room," said Carsten Seiffarth, co-curator of the Singuhr projects, a platform that organises sound art install

vinyl 12" | 999999999 - 000000005 [NineTimesNine]

Fresh from serving up some savage " Rave Reworks " on an ultra-limited 12" single, techno's leading number crunchers return with an EP of fresh studio jams.  As usual, what's on offer is intense, full-throttle and mind-altering in the extreme.  Check, for example, opener (and title track) " 000000005 ", where increasingly ragged, wayward and psychedelic acid lines surge forwards over a stomping, kick-drum dominated beat, or " 000000006 ", an acid techno onslaught that waves a glow-stick towards the Halcyon days of German techno-trance.  The acid-fired '90s techno revivalism continues on the flip with two more chunks of sweaty, mind-altering peak-time insanity. Not one for the faint hearted. [ source ]
