On July 24th Atari Teenage Riot suddenly took over the mainstage at FUSION FESTIVAL near Berlin, Germany.

The crowd smashed the barriers and invaded the stage during the song “Revolution Action”.

Director Zan Lyons was able to capture what was happening on camera.

Alec Empire:” It was surreal! Totally amazing crowd! Nothing got broke, nobody got hurt! Fusion Festival is a great event. There is no corporate sponsorship, it is politically charged as well. The alternative is possible, we just have to make it become real! We make music so people participate and join in…we don’t want people to just consume that stuff in a passive way… so of course for us playing Fusion in 2010 was mindblowing!”

Every year, a handful of Berliners make their way to a deserted island in the Swedish archipelago for a weekend of partying.

This is Secret Island Nation.

At least on the surface of it, that’s what it’s all about; load a few boats with decks, lighting rigs, tents and food and head off to No Man’s Land to get wrecked without fear of disturbing the neighbours.

But there’s more to it than that. The settlers on Ulsholmen, 130km north of Gothenburg, have since founded their own micro-nation, Sweutschland, complete with democratic system which allows them to explore concepts of national identity and cross-border tolerance. Whether you go there to learn more about your fellow man or simply to get battered in a non-judgemental environment is entirely up to you. One thing is clear, it’s an unforgettable experience as DJ Jonty Skrufff explains: „Secret Island is unlike any other event, or gig, I’ve played at. Firstly you’re genuinely in the wilderness: they’re are literally no roads, no trees, no permanent infrastructure of any kind so there’s a feeling of being properly away from civilisation.“

„There are also no more than 500 people on the whole island and the vast bulk if those people are artistic, creative, alternative types, almost all of whom seem to drop their guards and Berlin/Stockholm personas for the whole three days, making the general vibe friendly.“

„On the one hand it’s a 72 hour, pretty much non-stop Berlin-style outdoor techno party then it’s also a gorgeous deserted island: kinda like Lost but in the North Sea! You can wander off and find deserted coves to swim in if you want privacy, or sun yourself on the rocks.“

„It’s an adventure, an experience, a step outside reality and an escape. A weekend you’ll never forget. And GREAT fun.“

The festival runs under the banner, „First we found a nation. Then we dance.“ It’s simple…and unmissable. There are still tickets available for this unique summer experience which takes place on Ulmsholmen from 29th July – 1 August.

Atari Teenage Riot

• Exclusive London reunion show announced for May
• New single “Activate“ confirmed

Atari Teenage Riot – “Activate!” by Alec Empire

In the late 90s Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) emerged out of the electronica genre, to subvert all rules of rock and techno music. The original conception was Alec Empire’s and when joined by Hanin Elias, Nic Endo and Carl Crack on stage, the mixed race, mixed sex image of the band provoked people before they even heard the music.

The seminal band was too radical in its views and statements and simply too loud and noisy to fit in neatly inside any genre, with Hanin screaming about police violence and revolution, ATR opened many doors for female artists to follow at the time.
In 1996, Alec Empire teamed up with the Beastie Boys to negotiate a label deal between Grand Royal and Digital Hardcore Recordings for North America. The album, “Burn Berlin Burn” was born.

Shortly after, tours with Rage Against The Machine, Wu-Tang Clan and Beck swiftly followed. But with the success came tension. Every musician has their own way of dealing with it, and ATR were extremely intense. Very soon the thin line between reality and paranoia started to vanish.
When John Peel asked ATR to play Queen Elizabeth Hall in London in 1999, the band had just released their 3rd and best album, “60 Second Wipe Out“, which was mixed with Andy Wallace (Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, Slayer). During the song “Revolution Action“, kids stormed the stage and pandemonium descended on the capital.
When the Berlin quartet played their last show at the Big Day Out Festival, Australia in 2000 everyone was watching: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, The Clash’s Joe Strummer, Foo Fighters and Primal Scream on the side of the stage. The band finally dissolved in the wake of MC Carl Crack’s death just days before September 11th 2001.
Their records stand as a testament to the years 1992-2000, where anything seemed possible. Now Atari Teenage Riot have reunited for one more show:

May 12th 2010

The Electric Ballroom, London

184 Camden High Street, London, NW1 8QP

7pm / £16 / 14+

For tickets www.gigantic.com

The members of Atari Teenage Riot are pleased to announce that the American MC CX KIDTRONIK has officially joined the band and will be completing their line up when they hit the UK later this year. Having previously worked with Saul Williams, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails, CX KIDTRONIK is an unstoppable and explosive MC as politically minded as the rest of ATR that bring his own element to the band.

Additionally, a brand new single “Activate” has been confirmed for May 17^th and will be released through the band’s own label Digital Hardcore Recordings.  Atari Teenage Riot are also treating fans to a free remix by the LA based dubstep genius The Builder: http://soundcloud.com/alec_empire/atari-teenage-riot-digital-hardcore-2009-remix-by-the-builder

Let the revolution begin.

WHY we should remember people like Maclaren in our times?

This is why….John Robb wrote in his latest blog, why punk rock was so important in the late 70ties.

“Middle aged men talk about music in terms of how people play with no
regard for the soul power and the passion and the ideas- they missed
the point entirely. They don’t get the thrill of the other stuff,
they don’t even get the thrill of the music- being to busy getting
autistic over the musicianship. Boring.” by John Robb

Just open up any music magazine in 2010, you’ll find them in
there…and the bands fit so well… confused drunken festival goers,
age 20, talk and think and listen to music this way… I turn up MX80
and I hear them sing: “Why are we here? Why are we here…”

TONIGHT THE FALL PLAYS BERLIN…AS THEY HAVE DONE MANY TIMES, BUT THIS TIME IT WILL BE SPECIAL….

This guy comes up to me and says:” Oh The Fall, I have seen them once, and they were really awful, the singer was drunk and moody…”

I turn around and walk out of the conversation.

If you’re looking for entertainment, like all these blog and myspace friendly bands, do NOT go.

Stay with the herd, you fucking cow(ard)….there is an electric fence around that little field you’re living in…the moment you step outside, you get shocked…so keep your tunnel vision…run with your herd…don’t go…

I saw The Fall in front of 150 people and they were amazing, then I saw them play a sold out show adn they were so insanely bad, it was important to see…but you know what…that’s the point…you have to make up your own mind about them and about yourself constantly. Nobody will tell you to like them…

And one thing is always certain…the simple fact that Mark E Smith is still touring and releasing records, proves how great and genius he is. Take all your MGMT mp3s and Owlcity ringtones and come back to me in 20 years…I bet you won’t remember even having them.

ZAN LYONS PLAYS AT TRANSDUCERS PT.2 TONIGHT AT TRESOR – A GOOD REASON FOR US TO REPUBLISH ALEC EMPIRE’S INTERVIEW WITH HIM!

IT WAS TRUE PUNKROCK!

Alec Empire interviews London filmmaker and musician Zan Lyons

Alec: “I think most of our readers might only be aware of your music, but you
have been almost more active in making films in the last years. Could you
please give them a brief introduction to your work…”

Zan:

“When I started making music the thing that excited me most was that I could do it all at home with just a sampler and computer. It was true punk rock. I’d have an idea turn on my machines and Jam.
I wanted to bring the same energy to films and then combine it with my sound!
All my films are shot, lit and edited by my me on my laptop. I also do all of the visual effects and post production. This means I can take my camera, shoot something and start trying ideas immediately.
It’s a powerful and liberating experience!”

Alec:” Many people say that video games will replace film one day. Do you agree?
Can video games ever achieve the same effect that films can?
Does it even make sense to put both in relation to each other?”

Zan:

“From an industry standpoint video games have already replaced film. Even in our current economic climate video game sales keep growing while film sales are shrinking. I think the reason is a simple one. Value.
Even though games are significantly more expensive than films the experience is much more involved. What happens on the screen is happening to you, not a character you passively empathize with. Film distributors need to start giving audiences more with their DVDs. The same lack of value destroyed music – even though the industry blames downloads. When you buy a game you are buying something that will absorb you for days – even months.
From a personal perspective, nothing will ever replace the magic of cinema and although Games offer a truly interactive form of entertainment, they are not yet able to compete with film in terms of story. Games like Metal Gear Solid and the Final Fantasy series have scratched the surface. I think we’ll start to see the two worlds collaborating in the near future. Brilliant storytelling not better graphics will really take gaming to the next level.”

Alec: “How influential is Asian film right now? It seems that Hollywood steals
more ideas from there than from anywhere else…”

Zan:

“Asia is without a doubt leading the world of cinema. Films like ‘The Ring’ and ‘Oldboy’ have completely changed films and have left Hollywood playing catchup. South East Asia always gets mentioned but India is also producing thought-provoking dramas as well as the colorful entertainment of Bollywood. Also a lot of people don’t realize that Bollywood is the biggest film industry in the world with Hollywood coming second place.
People working in Asia really know their craft and as a result, they make better films for much, much less money than Hollywood. Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle has worked most of his life in South East Asia. He’s easily the greatest cinematographer working today but I doubt he would have reached this point if been swallowed up by Hollywood or even Europe.
Asian cinema keeps getting better and better and I think it will play a much greater role in years to come.”

Alec: “How important is authenticity or realism for you as a director ? Do they
both even matter?”

Zan:
“My films have lot’s of small details so realism is very important. I always use lighting to create a film’s atmosphere because it’s means the image comes to life in front of me and I can react to it. All of my effects are very simple and usually involve more camera work than computer effects. I want people to believe what’s on the screen.”

Alec: “Can you recommend 3 films to our readers? And explain why they should
watch them?”

Zan:

“The first is ‘In the Mood for Love‘. The way color and music are used to create atmosphere is amazing. It manages to feel like a classic 1960’s film and a modern one at the same time.

The second is ‘THX1138‘. I think this is one of the greatest science fiction films ever made. It has a sense of claustrophobia that I don’t think I’ve experienced since. There’s an impending doom from start to finish and it’s themes of government control feel more relevant today than ever before.

The final film is ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit‘. It’s a perfect example brilliant family cinema. Children will love the cute charater animation and adults will enjoy all of the film noir references. Most importantly though, it’s 90 minutes of pure mind-bending fun!”

Alec: “Has technology left human imagination behind? Anything can be created
with the help of computers these days, but still most films out there lack
ideas? Why do you think that is?”

Zan:

“Technology can be great when used well but too many people seem to use it to make short cuts and cover over weak ideas. Films like Star Wars and 2001 were at the cutting edge when they were released but the initial ideas were good in the first place so the effects were just enhancements. I think we need to return to this way of thinking and use new technology as a creative tool.”

Alec: “Or is the problem rooted in our society, in which everything , even art
itself, has to serve only one goal: profit making?”

Zan:

“When Hollywood gets it right the results can be amazing. but unfortunately money often gets in the way. There are too many people who see film making purely in financial terms and they are usually the reason for bad films.
I think this will change though. Audiences aren’t stupid, if a film isn’t good people can just download it!”

Alec: “Are you thinking of doing a full length film one day?”

Zan:

“My new album will be a collection of 9 songs with a short film for each one. It will flow together running at about 45 minutes so it’s actually a full-length film.
You’ll be able to either watch it as a complete film or select individual chapters – or just listen to the music. Each viewer will experience it differently.
The music is all instrumental and the films have no dialogue. The sounds and images are heavily synchronized – I wanted to create a world that people get can lost in.

I also have two story-based feature films that I plan on making at some point. I can’t say too much at the moment but they’ll be made in a similar way to my shorts.”

Alec: “You did visual remixes of some scenes of Blade Runner. How did the
audience react to that? This film is often seen as the masterpiece that
nobody is allowed to touch…”

Zan:

“There was a strong reaction to it here in the UK for that exact reason. Audiences loved it though! When it began they thought it was just a live soundtrack but quickly discovered I’d re-edited the film as well. I used heavy synchronization between my own music and various scenes. I remember BBC Radio interviewing me asking if I was trying to make Blade Runner better! I was never trying to improve the film – that would be impossible. It was more like my own version. I had some clips on youtube but was asked to take them down by Warner Brothers:)”

Alec: “Do you think that most film scores push the audience far enough?“

Zan:

“Not at all. The last good film score I heard was ‘There Will be Blood’ It created an almost unbearable tension throughout the whole film.
Otherwise Most film scores sound either made-to-order or like a cynical way to promote a bands music.
Film scores are in real need of a a change!”

Alec: “Where do you think films will be at in 10 years? The same stories told with
different/younger actors?”

Zan:

“I think a revolution is coming! There will, of course be the same old money-making films but I think Digital Technology has put film making in the hands of everyone so I hope we’ll start to see new visions and different methods of storytelling.
There will definitely be less money to make films so people will have rely on ideas instead of funding to make good work. We’re already seeing this with people like Warp Films and Philip Virus.
I think we’ll also start seeing more films that take advantage of the internet rather than treating it as an enemy. Maybe interactive films where the viewer has a say in what happens next.
Like I said, tools that used to be exclusive to Hollywood are now in the hands of everybody. In ten years we’re going to see more films made faster, cheaper and for the RIGHT reasons!”

This was released last Autumn at a time when all labels throw Christmas releases at everyone.

So the chance you might have missed out on this is very high, especially when you stayed away from the music media during that time.

Many tried to avoid during the recession to get manipulated into buying something they don’t need.

That’s the right attitude and we support that. (One reason why we stayed under the radar towards the end of the year.)

So we checked if this survived the past months and is still as good as it felt in the first place.

Yes, it is and it gets better, fits better winter of 2010.

It was directed by our friend Burke Roberts in Los Angeles.

we are telling you this guy is that good! click here

Ian Pooley has been pushing it since a long long time now. Went through many directions in his career. From breakbeat to house records that were sounding R A W . From Chicago to Brazil. One of the lead producers of the Force Inc label based in Frankfurt, Germany. Then he moved to the beach somewhere and became a happy man…but real happy, not fake happy…he earned it….

click here for summer beach track

The real disco from back in the day is for DJs and dance music producers what blues is for punkrockers…

One needs to get back to that every once in a while ….understand where it all started…
now he moved to Berlin! The greatest fucking city of all time

click here for the real thing, ignore the weird DJ pic…was that done at soundcheck WTF???

Let’s wipe the plate clean, ignore those who fucked the dance scene over the past ten years, and move into the future please.

We all owe it to those who go to night clubs every weekend and in between.

That’s we spread this info a few hours before doors open, just want those who come who KNOW…and that is YOU!

(And Alec, if you are not coming because you lock yourself into the studio again, you’re a pu-sseayyy)

http://www.stonesthrow.com/store/album/various/minimal-wave

In the new decade record reviews have become obsolete…so let’s cut out the middle man from now on…and raise the middlefinger to arrogant so called music ‘journalists’ who cry about bloggers taking a piece of their cake…let’s get this straight, if most magazine hadn’t become so corrupt then readers would still buy print media…but their readership shrinks more each day…no free cocaine for you my friend… this is your end

Here is what Stones Throw wrote…here it from them:

“Minimal Wave: both a genre of underground DIY electronic music from North America and Europe in the late 1970s and 80s, and the name of the label devoted to unearthing these recordings. The Minimal Wave Tapes is the first official anthology (on CD, LP and digital) of Minimal Wave music from this label. Most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. They’ve been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by Minimal Wave’s Veronica Vasicka and Stones Throw’s Peanut Butter Wolf.

The Minimal Wave musical genre was hallmarked by the use of the analog synths and drum machines manufactured in the 70s and 80s, and characterized by simple music structures made by musicians working in the early D.I.Y. asthetic: recording on tape in their home studios, creating their own album artwork, and often collaborating via postage mail. The fanzine CLEM (Contact List Of Electronic Musicians) was very influential in creating a worldwide community for this sort of music, before digital technology and the internet came into play.

Minimal Wave the label was founded in New York City in 2005 by Veronika Vasicka, who focused the label solely on obscure Minimal Wave recordings, remastering and releasing them on limited vinyl and digital.

The Minimal Waves Tapes fits neatly into Stones Throw Records’ own tradition of compiling or reissuing the independent music of the past which influences the independent music we make today – 60s funk (The Funky 16 Corners), early 80s hip-hop (The Third Unheard) and West Coast Electro/Rap (Arabian Prince’s Innovative Life) to name a few.”

Hey DJ (as in real DJ = vinyl = real hands + brains = physical sound)

that’s the old trick to cover up your records so copy cats can’t figure out what you’re doing.

here it is …now you just have to get rid of all those lame Ed Banger Records….and you’re set…

and remember a DJ is a sender , a teacher, an innovator, someone who takes pieces and puts them back together in a new way… anyone right now can A/B tempo match…

let’s get back to this and take the power BACK!

MOTOR’s new album?HYPER MACHINE is out JAN 26TH, as is upcoming single Death Rave.

click here to watch

As the title suggests, Motor’s new album?‘HYPER MACHINE’ is abrasive metallic music, combining tough techno beats and raw rock riffs, underscored by “relentless mechanical grooves that spit blood” (as Bryan Black puts it.)

All ten new album tracks retain Motor’s trademark industrial/ rock elements previously showcased on albums Klunk and Unhuman, though this time round the emphasis is firmly on the dance-floor.

“We wanted it to carry on the spirit of those first two records, but at the same time we had to break new ground and we knew after producing just a few rough demos that the new record was going to be seriously raw and off the wall,” says Bryan, “We wanted to get back into the clubs with a fresh sound.”

Ever wanted to know the truth about most remix deals which are being done lately? Watch this clip.

EYHO Blog urges all new and upcoming producers to not give into the bullshit. The “foot in the doorstep” will never happen. (same goes for playing commercial festivals by the way)

It is time musicians unite and fight the exploitation which is going on behind closed doors.

We suggest if you like a track that much that you’ll get on your knees to do it then just do a mash up or bootleg remix and put it online.

Basic rule in the download age: If someone makes money with your shit, you should get your fair share.

(Yes, that also goes for any torrent website that has advertising or takes donations. Share your profits and support each other.)

German band Kraftwerk described themselves as ‘music-workers’ (’Musikarbeiter’)…

Br?der, zur Sonne, zur Freiheit
Br?der zum Lichte empor!
Hell aus dem dunklen Vergangnen
leuchtet die Zukunft hervor.

Seht, wie der Zug von Millionen
endlos aus N?chtigem quillt,
bis eurer Sehnsucht Verlangen
Himmel und Nacht ?berschwillt!

Br?der, in eins nun die H?nde,
Br?der, das Sterben verlacht!
Ewig, der Sklav’rei ein Ende,
heilig die letzte Schlacht!

Nic Endo’s “I didn’t exist” was taken from her album “Cold Metal Perfection”, released in 2001 on London’s GEIST Records. The track was an homage to legendary independent film “Carnival of Souls” from 1962. Nic Endo often mentioned the film as an influence in her interviews, because she could identify with the lead character and her ‘alienation of society’. In 2009 a fan felt inspired to edit a music video from the original footage of the film to her music.

Nic is about to release her 3rd album over the coming months.
