■ CANDIE HANK AKA PATRIC CATANI (de)
After a passionate time of ripping his favourite music out of games, he
moved on with using the old homecomputers for programming and
sequencing his own sounds. Always being fascinated by unusual sounds,
melodies and scratching, his way went straight to the early Techno,
Breakbeat and Acid Hardcore Music which got played on certain Rave
Parties like e.g. Cosmic Orgasm at that time.
Candie Hank
With Candie Hank he could create his own musical isle and even started
to play shows secretly in the beginning not telling people that it´s
him. Playing the first Concert in Berlin with Daelek and Angie Reed at
their regularily self promoted Audio Chocolate nights, people were
wondering where Patric went.. This way he could manage to get a new open
minded circle of listeners and it turned out to be the ace up his
sleeve.
A cinematic, confronting journey through the eras of
forgotten futurist lounge and Beat – He´s using the symbols of our
darwinist pop society and the typical male stereotype character role
model to appreciatively take it apart and dismantle the dictated, risk
free attitude of the “New APP Order”. Hanks anarchistic approach taking
and modifying statements in a plunderphonic way but giving it the spice
and soul of Moog synths, 8Bit Roughness and the surreal twist of a
Daniil Charms worshipping sample eating Bassmonster. Of course always in
honour of Morricone, Rock Hunter, Hazil Adkins and the Euromasters.
■ KARL MARX STADT (de)
After slowly stepping back from late nineties hardcore with Society
Suckers, Christian Gierden's alter ego Karl Marx Stadt spawned a love
for analogue techniques, dub and a stronger emphasis on upbeat melodies.
Karl Marx Stadt's Live shows are an amusing blend of energetic Rave
style mixing and carefully paced dubbing sessions incorporating
circuitbending, synthesizers, children's toys and of course, the
universe. This evening Karl Marx Stadt will present new compositions
from his label Karl Marx Land; somewhere between “cartoon-reggae,
breakdance-Romantik and Eastern European synthesizer pop
gymnastics-funk”.

■ DION AND THE MAGIC CHORDS
Dion & The Magic Chords make electronic music with drums, casio
chords and trippy visuals. They recently released there first record is
called curiously enough 'Curiosa'. Curiosa is a true curiosity in pop
music. This is no jazz, no wave and no electro, but once it is all
together and much more.

■ ROSS PARFITT (UK)

and others, and pieces by Peter Ablinger, Alvin Lucier, Seth Kim-Cohen
and Stephen Chase.

■ DJ GINGERMOON
This Scottish mermaid swam all the way to The Netherlands, where she
grew up in the small coastal town of Zandvoort. Unable to talk she
decided to let the music speak for her, spinning records and mp3's with a
dark, romantic and sometimes humorous twist.
