PROXY Live!
[Turbo Recordings, Mako Records, Moscow]
 

 
From the ashes of the Soviet empire, from the flames of history, rises PROXY. Post 9/11 rave vibes cloaked in Muscovite angst. A line drawn in smoking rubble along the border dividing East and West, Stüssy and Spetsnaz. 1997. The Year of Tar and Horses. The Prodigy plays Red Square in Moscow. Hundreds of thousands of people attend the show, but only one is truly changed. By the crushing sound. By people absolutely losing their shit to synths and sustained aggression. The experience causes PROXY to question the quality and purpose of Russian “electrica” acts like Nu-Lag Xpressions and Sweatislav. There was simply no scene from which to emerge. “Whatever a fool does, he does it wrong. A poor dancer is impeded even by his own balls,” he recalls. In a decade’s time, PROXY would be remixing Prodigy and opening for them on a massive tour of Russia.

PEER KUSIV Live!
[mfm booking, braunschweig]
 

Peer Kusiv is a music producer from northern Germany, who developed a fine interest for different music genres at an early age. From intricate classical music over jazz and pop to thumping 90's techno , this open-minded artist embraced many sources of musical inspiration. With an unquenchable thirst for acoustic art, Peer started to play piano at a time, when the first generation of German Hip Hop heads won fame. He was captured by their unconventional style and began to experiment with his first own tunes. At the age of twelve, Peer was initiated into music production. The passion seized him quickly and he decided to establish his own recording studio, which he successively professionalized. As his experience grew, his style of music changed: After producing to hip hop beats for some years, his focus shifted to electronic music. Peer Kusiv has now grown into a full- fledged music producer: His pieces combine classical instruments with dark synth sounds, nurtured by different musical genres. He is constantly searching for samples to fit his original tunes to create new arrangements. The result is most often an intoxicating new sound experience. Peer‘s songs vary from dance floor fillers to easy lounge tunes; no matter the style, they enjoy a fast growing audience. The sound of Peer Kusiv is now being recognized far beyond the borders of his home town Kiel, due to the success of his debut album "Natur & Techno". The album is a mirror for Peer Kusiv's capacity to create diverse music, which animates to dance. And it even comes for free.

BEEF THEATRE
[techno changed my life, mähtrasher, austria]
 

 
Eine Dorfjugend: Erst Äpfel klauen im Nachbargarten, dann Eimer rauchen am Baggersee. Wenn man zu laut Eminem hört, verstecken die Nachbarn vorsorglich ihr Silberbesteck. Und wer ein Metallica-Shirt trägt, feiert dem Volkskundelehrer zufolge auch schwarze Messen im nahe gelegenen Wald. So ähnlich muss es in Schwandorf in der Oberpfalz aussehen. Schwandorf war 1986 in den Schlagzeilen, als in der Nähe ein Atommüllendlager gebaut werden sollte. Danach kam lange nix. Kids wie die beiden Kumpels Bene und Dave vertreiben sich hier ihre Zeit vor allem mit Computer spielen und darauf warten, dass die Volljährigkeit sie aus der Langeweile befreit. Raptexte lieferten die Geschichten und Metal die Energie, die einer Dorfjugend fehlen. Doch dann kam Techno. Zunächst ganz langsam, in Form eines Play Station- Radiosenders bei ‚GTA: San Andreas’. Dann in Form eines Casio Keyboards, mit dem die Musik plötzlich selbst produziert werden konnte. Und schließlich in Form von Partys, die es hart und heftig nachzuholen galt. Heute ist Techno wichtigster Bestandteil des Lebens der beiden Jungs von BEEF THEATRE. Ein Name wie eine Abrissparty in einer Metzgerei. Ein Sound wie Slipknot auf MDMA. DJSets wie ein Blutbad bei einer Erstkommunion. BEEF THEATRE sind gekommen um die gelangweilten Kleinstädte in Schutt und Asche zu legen und die verwöhnten Großstädte in Torero-Manier zu bändigen. Anfang 2012 bringen sie ihre erste EP ‚PRESIDENT EVIL’ auf TECHNO CHANGED MY LIFE – ein Mantra, das nicht nur in Oberbayern auf jede Kuhhaut gebrannt gehört. Und zu Wenigen passt dieser Name so gut wie zu BEEF THEATRE
