Vandaag beginnen met een eigen mix van 2j geleden voor Glory Berlin. New Beat vinyl mix

Here we go ! Glory [Berlin] episode #73 is a NewBeat-mix or as our guest DJ calls it an "Ancienne Belgique Vinyl Mix". We are happy to present Celtric from DanceMekanik (BE). Enjoy the slow beat, the sampling and the shady melodies !

"In 1985, the music temple ‘Ancienne Belgique‘ opened its doors in Antwerp, Belgium. its famous ‘sound’ was a very bold mix of new-wave, ska, Balearic, jazz, EBM and film music. The music was rhythmic and slow, the tempo rarely higher than 110 beats per minute. The AB was the birthplace of the Belgian New Beat sound."
Celtric has been active in the Belgian underground since 1996. This bonafide underground devotee has been a former member of Belgian underground crews like Funky Green Aliens, Analog Pleasures, Drop Acid Not Bombs, Cultmus & Tribes Gathering and is since 2019 curator of Dance Mekanik. Slowly working on his own brand of deep, slowly mutating acid techno since that time he released in 2021 his debut EP on the Dutch label New York Haunted. The label wrote: "Blending the freetekno, free party, free acid vibe of the 90's with tripped out samples, and hard hitting hypnotic vibes of modern techno, but with an ease and spontaneity seldom heard in current dance music."

Met jammer genoeg andere financiële en tijd prioriteiten dan doelloos vertier , kie ik deze zomer voor kwaliteit ipv kwantiteit

Juli: Gent Jazz met Air in concert
Aug: Front 242 + sisters of mercy Lokerse Feesten
Sep: Meakusma Eupen

Toch een dikke pluim voor Front 242 , BE op de elctronische wereldkaart geplaatst.. vooral in Zuid_Amerika staat BE = Front242
ALs je zegt ik ben Belg : wow the country of Front 242 meer dan elke voetbalheld

Ze weigeren honderduizenden euro's om voor Live Nation te spelen. BIG RESPECT

Echter, aan alles komt een eind en hun nu al legendarisch optreden op de Lokerse Feesten 2024 – zondag 4 augustus – is een van de allerlaatste haltes waar ze een acte de présence geven. Kom en beleef Front 242 nog één keer in open lucht en wuif hen uit zoals een legende als Front 242 dient uitgewuifd te worden, met een ijzeren vuist in de lucht en een In the naaaaame of Jesus, Hallelujah!

Front 242 - FUNKAHDAFI (from the EP "Politics of pressure" 1985)Introduction is a sample of Louis Farrakhan speech, leader of Nation Of Islam.

the BEE AGENCY project

Pollinators are threatened in all industrialized nations. Given that the survival of bees is crucial for human sustainability, there is a great urgency to improve by all means the ways in which wild colonies could thrive.

With the Bee Agency project, AnneMarie Maes wants to give back autonomy to the Apis mellifera and support colonies to live again ‘in the wild’, after being domesticated for long times by beekeepers who’s apiaries are mainly honey production factories.

The Bee Agency project has an exemplary meaning when it comes to the public perception of biodiversity and sustainability.
It is a project on the interstices of the arts, design and science.

AnneMarie Maes founded the Brussels Urban Bee laboratory in 2009.
It is the place of action for a group of artists, scientists and technologists to observe bee colonies in non intrusive set-ups.
The Urban Bee Lab is also a vehicle to raise public awareness via art installations, talks and workshops.

Great news our line-up for September 7th private is now complete headlining a modular techno live set by Maxpacemaker (Antwerp), i'll rent some extra speakers for this occasion..
MaxPacemaker is the alter ego of Antwerp-based multi-instrumentalist Max PhilippWeies. He explored pretty much every sort of genre from Metal to Punk, from Psychedelic music to Jazz. Growing up near Cologne, he found his love for electronic
music in the Club scene of the 90’s. As a guitar-player he founded the electro-acoustic band Go March, which shifted from Krautrock towards a sound that was heavily influenced by Dance-music, ranging from Italo-Disco to Techno.
Meanwhile Weies was experimenting with drum computers sent through guitar effects,hardware synthesizers and Ableton Live. He eventually assembled his own customized Techno machine using a modular synth with an Ableton effect-rack and recently played
first solo shows as MaxPacemaker.
Influenced by the likes of Ritchie Hawtin, Blawan and Speedy J, his improvised sets arealways different, but undeniably situated on the darker side of the spectrum.Polyrhythmic percussion, acidic elements and reverberating rumbles merge together and create a maze of tunnels that may or may not lead you to light.

Morgen delen we een exclusieve Dance Mekanik van Menaz. Hier al een ferme kosmische tribal productie van hem..

Maarten is door zijn echte vriendschap, loyaliteit en muzikaal talent een van de winnaars om regelmatig te spelen op DM.

Aanwezig van Buda tot De Roes, Van Ath tot Ruislede, van concert tot fuif ook als hij niet moet spelen en brengt zonder vragen opnameapparatuur mee (dat ik niet heb)

Universums van (kraut)rock tot classic new beat & acid house tot hedendaags tribalism & acidcore en alles dat er tussen ligt.

Ook een pluim voor zijn boezemvriend Tom Bosmans, ook altijd van de partij..

🥰

Every sound was created with a modular synth vst.

Sometimes i see "artists" post/look down on promotors & curators. I'm a dj producer & curator and I can say: curator is an artist.. you offer a total artwork/concept/experience in artwork, space, line-up, sound & light. A compliment I got from an international artist that plays Tresor, Dekmantel, Salon Des Amateurs etc: you feel your "soul" in your events, you are chaotic but i never felt such "pure vibes" on an event..

"The curator facilitates the translation and mediation of artwork from its place of production to its space of public display, or from private to public territory. In bringing artwork, objects or ideas together, the curator marks and evidences his/her understanding of the artefacts and their relationships, whilst allowing such relationships to be communicated non-verbally through visual, contextual or relational dialogue. Exhibition-making has become a potential dialogical space for questioning and is (or at least, can be) throughout its realisation and display, active in the ideas, thoughts and knowledge it provokes."

"We zijn op zoek naar 6 enthousiaste en gepassioneerde jonge digital natives, tussen 16 en 26 jaar oud, die gepassioneerd zijn door kunst en cultuur. "

Het grootste "issue" vandaag is hoe de jongere generaties bereiken.. Ik ben tamelijk tevreden met de kwaliteit van het Dance Mekanik publiek, maar om echt te doen wat ik wil, heb ik dit jonge segment nodig..

In een US unief verslag las ik dat de generatiekloof vandaag de grootste is sinds de jaren 60... onze generatie heeft meer gemeen met de hippie's van weleer, dan met de kinderen van vandaag.. een hele andere manier van communiceren en leven..

Legendary West German studio engineer Conny Plank is the subject of The Potential Of Noise, a new documentary shining a light on the story of the producer, through the stories of the many artists he worked with.

Co-directed by Conny’s son, Stephen Plank, and Reto Caduff, the film takes a look at the career and legacy of Conny, who helped the likes of Kraftwerk, Neu!, Euryhthmics and Ultravox find their sound, and whom died in 1987 as result of cancer, at the age of just 47. His influence ranges across krautrock, avant garde electronics and progressive rock.
