E-tropolis Festival 2010 – Darker, Harder and Louder than the Rest

Filed under: E-tropolis — admin @ 7:31 am

Berlin, that was insane! The first E-TROPOLIS FESTIVAL was a full success. 3500 visitors from Germany and the European countries gathered last Saturday at the Columbia compound in Berlin, to celebrate this unprecedented electronic event with 13 international acts.

While the rays of sunshine lured many visitors into the generously capacitated chill-out zones of the outdoor areas, or invited them to a shopping-tour along the merchandising-booths, the mood started boiling inside the concerts halls even at the early hours of the day. By that, the C-Hall and the C-Club turned out as ideal settings for the high profile program.

Dsm, the new release from Ad Inferna (Jul-27, 2010)

Filed under: Album Reviews — admin @ 8:44 am

DSM, the new 100% electronic AD INFERNA album co-produced & mastered by Vasi Vallis (Frozen Plasma, Reaper) will be released worldwide the July 27, 2010 on Nilaihah Records. Available on CD & Digital, preorder from July 13, 2010.

The concept of 10 tracks is an electronic psychoanalysis, punctuated by catchy melodies which only VoA VoXyD has the secrecy and the sound incantations sung in French / English by Arkames. Warning, if the atmosphere is unhealthy, terribly black and spell all the pieces that make up DSM are pure bombs assembled by expert hands of Vasi Vallis to make carnage in the Klub. DSM is the ultimate tool and essential for any self-respecting DJ. It’s cutting, killer and addicting. 3 Klub oriented remixes from EBM bands come to finish the album (Cellmod, Suicidal Romance & Distatix). More information on http://www.nilaihah.com/ad_inferna.htm

You can already listen to 5 snippets of DSM on the Ad Inferna’s Myspace player. Enjoy!

Cecilia Eyes and Kwoon – Post-Rock and Shoegaze Echoes

Filed under: Local News — admin @ 8:37 am

Intr-o lume aflata la rascruce, unde amprenta economico-financiara invita la prudenta, concertele continua sa fie din abundenta… de la cele mai mari festivaluri si pana la cele mai mici si necunoscute evenimente, fanii sunt pusi in fata celor mai mari dileme, intre a culege si a alege.

DonisArt doreste sa prezinte prietenilor Serilor Speciale dar si altor posibili interesati un nou concept, prin organizarea evenimentului EXPERIMENTAL FRIDAY. Prin aceasta noua abordare, DonisArt isi propune sa sustina si sa promoveze in cel mai sincer si profesionist mod trupele a caror determinare si daruire este totala, trupe care au avut sau au ceva de spus in segmentul lor muzical, care doresc sa tina aproape de fani, sa comunice direct cu ei, sa se bucure de experienta in Romania. Audienta va vedea la lucru muzicieni mai mult sau mai putin cunoscuti, va viziona diverse concerte aparute oficial in format DVD si/sau inregistrari integrale ale Serilor Speciale, va putea sa-si achizitioneze merchandising direct de la artisti si se va bucura de diferite surprize oferite de organizatori…. cu alte cuvinte, un alt mod de a petrece o noapte alaturi de trupeti si prieteni, intr-o locatie complet renovata si cu preturi la bar accesibile oricarui buzunar.
