Their performance is an underground dirty and infected splinter, the sort with an unpredictable trajectory able Mikrosolke, anarchic manipulators of to carry you high towards lyric and narrations, were born from the acid spaces or to make you sink into meeting of Unz, Tatiana and MM . It is brutality so as to make your ears very difficult to explain (and bleed. We asked Unz and Tatiana to understand) what they do. First of all, tell us about their way of working, we must say there is not a focusing on their performances rather “Mikrosolke” recipe”. It is in fact an than on their techniques and improvisation project coming out of aesthetics choices. In their work it is in fun, sometimes sick, in building fragile fact quite clear that those aspects are (drenched too) bridges between audio of secondary importance and that and video worlds. what counts is their energy during lives. Mikrosolke’s performances are a new wave in the world of Italian audiovisual performances, lately worryingly oriented towards lounge- atmospheres fundamentally inoffensive. Their way to present on stage breaks the mould: to the cold posture peculiar to Tatiana’s and Unz’s laptop performers the unpredictable physicalness of MM (member of Mercoledì and Newtone 2060 too) 3 . created during the “solitary production. Bertram Niessen: How do you create your narrative path? Do you have an outline first or do you start working in lab and then develop the whole thing? I am really interested in understanding how you manage to find a balance between experimentation and availability Tatiana: Actually, I think there is not a true answer to the two questions, as our relation is casual, rather human . than collaborative. We haven’t fixed meetings, we don’t work constantly, Bertram Niessen: for instance, Unz’s we haven’t a project or an idea of choices in sound don’t meet career and we haven’t any logic everyone’s taste, but what comes out mechanisms of production. The can be enjoyed by “outsiders.”….. “Mikrosolke” entity itself hasn’t a fixed Tatiana: To me, we are not given to identity, but it lives in an absolutely know. indefinite time and space. I didn’t even know I was part of it until a Unz: I think I have the builtest part of stranger told me. The same is for the the three of us, the most controlled availability: we don’t care about it. and rhythmic one. The choice and the There is no difference between a creation of sounds are always happy customer and an unhappy one. connected to a private and emotional What comes out of our performances research on the project rather than to is always good. Actually, until present, techno-musical needs we have never presented a work twice. Bertram Niessen: How do you act during performances? I have seen MM Unz: I believe the truth is in the with Newtone 2060 and Mercoledí middle. We have an outline that can many times and I know it is not easy be changed but we must have some for him to control his exuberance starting points. Then the elaboration during his performances. How do you in lab and the combination of the make a deal? things is fundamental to approach the different ideas and points of view Tatiana: We do not. Each one of us 4 has something to deal with. It can be either exuberance, schizophrenia, anxiety or fear. We definitely have a very emotive and sensitive collaboration. I think the trick is to catalyze all the right way. In fact, we rather talk about our mood than our structure of our work. To confirm this, after years of relationship with . Mimmo and Nunzio, I am persuaded Bertram Niessen: It seems I we play well only when we have the understand that, with your new work same mental mood. We are not made on tango, you reshuffle the cards as for programming a performance, but far as techniques and technologies for playing when we feel it. As Mimmo you use are concerned. Could you tell says, we are not someone who can me about it? think about getting up and going to work on the morning, leading a Tatiana: I did it because someone told “normal” life. When we feel the need me I was becoming boring and as I to hide in a dark coin, the external had other things in mind I thought it reality disappears and we are no more was the right moment. In fact, it was able to do anything else. funny to do something new, including the change of roles we decided to Unz: Usually, we don’t make a deal, have, such as for Mimmo, usually a we let MM’s exuberance be set free, sound producer, become an image trying to follow the different waves producer. creating from time to time during the performance and trying to give enough room to what we arranged.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

The "electroclash" movement was basically a revival of the dance-punk style of the new wave. It was New York dj Lawrence "Larry Tee" who coined the term, and the first Electroclash Festival was held in that city in 2001. However, the movement had its origins on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. One could argue that electroclash was born with Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass (1997), released by Belgian dj Ferenc van der Sluijs under the moniker I-f. At about the same time German house dj Helmut-Josef "DJ Hell" Geier was promoting a scene in Berlin that was basically electroclash. Another forerunner was French dj Caroline "Miss Kittin" Herve', who had recorded the EP Champagne (1998), a collaboration with Michael "The Hacker" Amato that included the pioneering hit 1982. The duo joined the fad that they had pioneered with First Album (2001). Britain was first exposed to electroclash when Liverpool's Ladytron released He Took Her To A Movie (1999), that was basically a cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. Next came Liverpool's Robots In Disguise with the EP Mix Up Words and Sounds (2000).

Ma nel 1965 lo skate sparì dalla circolazione. Motivo? Incidenti fatali provocati da materiali scadenti… Poi, nel 1970 nacquero le prime rotelle in uretano… Di Serena Cama in collaborazione con Alessandro Intiso Cos’è lo skateboard? Per alcuni una perdita di tempo, per altri uno sport, un gioco o un feticcio della dominante cultura americana. Per molti è simbolo di libertà e così doveva essere per i baby-boomer, i figli del boom economico statunitense, quando abbandonarono le loro tavole due per quattro montate su rotelle da pattini con una cassetta da imballaggio per manubrio, per comperare Lo skate cominciò a guadagnare seguaci tra la folla di surfer attratti dall’idea di poter cavalcare le impervie asperità della strada. Nacquero subito riviste (la prima fu Surfguide di Long Stevenson), si organizzò la prima gara che si tenne a Hermosa, California, nel 1963. In quegli anni si produssero più di cinquanta milioni di tavole. Eppure nel 1965 lo skate morì. Causa: la scarsa qualità dei materiali usati per costruirli come le ruote in argilla che garantivano una corsa più liscia ma anche cadute più rovinose. Così in seguito ad alcuni incidenti fatali, i comuni bandirono gli skates dalle strade.

  • Headphone-Headset-Jetset: DJ Culture, Mobility and Science
    Headphone-Headset-Jetset DJ Culture, Mobility and Science Fictions of Listening Feature Article Sean Nye University of Minnesota Abstract This article explores the practice of DJ performance through the use of headphones as opposed to the preferred instruments of analysis: vinyl, turntables and mixers. It focuses on the DJ as a performer who uses headphones on stage, which complicates the traditional construction of “headphone culture” as tending toward exclusively private listening. The experience of the public and private tension of headphones on stage leads to a larger examination of the post-World War II dialectic of mobility, radio communications and recorded music, which is expressed in the constellation “headphone-headset-jetset”. In this history, headphones intersect with cultures of command-and-control, aviation and broadcasting. These intersections help to trace the history of the cyborg figure. Keywords: DJ, headphones, club culture, science fiction, radio, cyborg, mobile media Sean Nye is a PhD student in the Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society program at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. His dissertation project concerns constructions of German identity in popular electronic music between 1968 and 2009. His articles, reviews and translations have appeared in Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture, New Literary Critique, Cultural Critique, Journal der Jugendkulturen, and Echo: A Music-Centered Journal.
