SVIN:
Menigmands-avantgardisterne i SVIN dannede orkesteret i den kolde vinter 2008, og har siden da arbejdet sig frem til et dystert og dyrisk stillbillede af moderne musik som gør sig fri af lædertunge genrer.
Nu er tiden således kommet til at præsentere dette udtryk for den måbende pøbel og de frådende masser!

D. 24. september udkom gruppens debutplade Heimat på en flot 12´ vinyl på det nystartede pladeselskab Mom Eat Dad Records med stærke kræfter fra bl.a. Magnus fra Gaarden og Among Relatives bag kulisserne i pladeselskabet såvel som i bandet.

SVIN mæsker sig i en sonisk underverden af lyrisk postrock, hvid støj, europæisk avantgarde og gør en dyd ud af at forene den frie jazz´ utæmmede energi med postrockens guitarspundne antrit.

Navnet SVIN bør ikke anses som et vagt forsøg på at fremmane opmærksomhed, men hentyder til råstyrken, intelligensen og de primitivt kraftfulde egenskaber i dyret såvel som i bandet, ligesom titlen Heimat afspejler bandets stræben efter at forbinde og forene en kreativ hjemstavn!

Erik Barkman (Gaffa.dk):
“SVIN splejser post-rock, free jazz og math-rock til en adræt og muskuløs rockhybrid. Bandet har bedre fod på de tunge riff og skæve taktarter end så mange andre, men bag den avantgardistiske facade lurer inciterende, jazzede
melodistumper, der gør Heimat svær at slippe.” “Det er en stærk debut, Svin har skruet sammen (…) En vital og velgørende
ørerenser af en rockplade”

Niels Overgaard (jazznyt.blogspot.com)
“Med en særegen blanding af filmiske lydflader, tunge rocktrommer og en saxofon der veksler mellem det søgende og usikre til vilde og utæmmede fremstår kvartettens musik overbevisende og nuanceret.

Siggy Zielinski (babyblaue-seiten.de)
“Heimat is a listenable debut, which combines seemingly incompatible styles such as jazz or alternative rock and post rock and free jazz.”

Roteraupe.de
“wer soll das gut finden? (…) oh nein!”

Where The Sidewalk Ends:
Bandet blev dannet i starten af 2007, og allerede til deres anden øvesession besluttede bandet at indspille deres første demo: "Butterscotch". Resultatet blev en fantastisk smeltedigel af massive, atmosfæriske Hammond B3 klange, kantet, bidende guitar og højenergisk medrivende trommespil.

Stilen bevæger sig i grænselandet mellem regulær 70er-psykedelica og instrumental indie rock, men emmer også af elementer som postrockens støj, og med smukke højtflyvende indie-ballader, udsyrede balkan-grooves og protestsange fra en svunden tid er bandet nu godt på vej til at sætte deres aftryk på den danske musikscene.

Culture Box and Heineken presents a rare DJ set by crossover artist James Blake!

During September 2009, Blake began his final year at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he studied popular music; one of his coursemates was fellow singer Katy B. Having attended The Latymer School, Blake was persistent in recording songs in his bedroom during his time in education. James began his music career by releasing his debut 12" record, entitled "Air & Lack Thereof" in the United Kingdom during July 2009. Having been releasing on the imprint record label, Hemlock, the extended-play was favourited by BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson. Soon after the release of the record, Blake was invited by Peterson to do a special mix on his international show, including an exclusive Mount Kimbie track. Blake also sang and played keyboards in Mount Kimbie's live shows in 2010. Soon after, Blake released a 3 track EP on Hessle Audio in March 2010, for their eleventh release.

A third vinyl-exclusive EP, entitled "CMYK" was released through R&S Records during 2010. The title track, "CMYK" was selected by BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw as his Record of the Week and also received airplay from other DJs.

On 29 September 2010, Zane Lowe selected Blake's version of "Limit to Your Love" as his Hottest Record in the World. The song was a cover version that was originally recorded by singer Feist and appeared on her studio album, The Reminder. The single was released in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2010, where it debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 47.

Blake was announced on 6 December 2010 to have placed on BBC's Sound of 2011, an annual poll that highlights the forthcoming year's likely successful musicians. It was then revealed on 6 January 2011 that Blake has positioned in second place, ahead of fellow shortlisted acts; The Vaccines, Jamie Woon and Clare Maguire, who reached third, fourth and fifth respectively. It was also revealed on 15 December 2010 that Blake had been made the runner-up behind singer-songwriter Jessie J at the BRIT Awards' Critic's Choice. In January 2011, Blake was awarded Single of the Year (2010) for "CMYK" at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards.

Blake's work found itself on numerous 2010 year-end best-of lists, with "CMYK" ranking 24th on Frontier Psychiatrist's top 40 songs of the year, the Bells Sketch/CMYK/Klavierwerke EPs ranking 8th on Pitchfork Media's top 50 albums of 2010, and "I Only Know (What I Know Now)" ranking 8th on Pitchfork's top 100 tracks of 2010.

Having spent the majority of 2010 recording his debut album, Blake revealed in late December that his album would be self-titled and would see release in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2011. James Blake, an 11-track album which features the single "Limit to Your Love", will be made available as a digital download, CD and 12" vinyl. The vinyl release contains two extra tracks, "Tep And The Logic" and "You Know Your Youth". Only days after the announcement was made, the album was leaked onto the internet. On 9 January 2011, circulation began of "The Wilhelm Scream" being released as the album's second single, with a scheduled release date of 7 March in the United Kingdom.

James Blake performing at Glastonbury Festival June 2011Blake performed a new song at a May 8, 2011 concert in Washington D.C. The song is called "Enough Thunder".

Blake debuted a collaboration with Bon Iver called "Fall Creek Boys Choir" on BBC Radio 1 at 7:30pm GMT on 24 August 2011. The song was first announced through his Facebook page on 17 August.

On September 17, 2011, the BBC released an exclusive mix by Blake, which included 10 of his unreleased songs. These included "Deeds", "Olivia Kept", and "Evening Fell Hard for Us".

Culture Box & Standard Events presents: Under 300

LOCO DICE (Desolat/Minus/DE)
MARTINEZ (Moon Harbour/Cadenza)

Loco Dice is someone who can puzzle together intangible moods with a direct approach. Via his DJ sets or his productions on labels like M_nus, Cadenza, Ovum, Four Twenty and Cocoon, he merges perspectives in his delicate sense for sounds and reflective atmospheres, underpinned with solid, physical grooves inspired by the hip hop that was his early sonic stomping ground in the mid- to late ‘90s. There’s something there for the dreamers, as well as for the 9-to-5ers who just want to lose everything in a moment of abandon on the dancefloor.

Don’t think that merging of perspectives is accidental. This Loco Dice, with his mercurial temperament, may let his thoughts run away with him, but he tends to chase those ideas and make them into an artistic reality. His DJ sets, whether at Germany’s biggest rave Timewarp, Cocoon in Ibiza or a beach party in South America, are spontaneous orchestrations fueled by the nuances of a night/venue/crowd. He began a fruitful studio partnership with Martin Buttrich in 2002 leading to tracks like Phatt Dope Shit, Menina Brasiliera, and Seeing Through Shadows, and these productions are meticulously planned by Dice. It’s a directorial, cinematic outlook, which permeates Dice’s everyday life, and comes not just from the outlandish escapades and scrapes that he has sometimes found himself living out in real life. It also stems from elaborate film scripts imagined as a young Loco Dice on the streets of Flingern in Düsseldorf and the Kerkennah Islands in Tunisia. This continues to be a habit of Loco Dice’s today: to close his eyes for just one minute, and see a whole cornucopia of scenes and atmospheres. As one manifestation of this, visitors to Düsseldorf early this year will be able to see an exhibition of photographs taken by Loco Dice & Martin Buttrich during the year they spent in New York City to work on the Loco Dice album. It’s an album that re-imagines the soul of a city, built from careful observations of urban tribes that crisscross and sometimes clash, of minute details and sensory impressions.

Family is important to Loco Dice, as you might have noticed if you’ve seen one of his tattoos, a Chicano-style artwork with the legend “Guadelupe”. His love for music stems from hearing soul and funk in the kitchen, and holidays with his mother to Tunisia, where he absorbed North African and Middle Eastern folk music and occasionally sneaked away to watch his grandfather playing dice at café tables on the street. Family is how he’s always regarded the people close to him, and it’s how he regards subcultures too. A football player, he’s inspired by those who build strong teams of creative people around them. This sense of family is what he wants to create with projects like his and Buttrich’s label Desolat, and an artist management agency he run with Tom Preuss called Artist Alife. When you visit the office of Desolat and Artist Alife, you’re struck by the fact that everyone seems to come from a different cultural background. Loco Dice’s experience of Germany is one that includes friends and collaborators who are of African, Eastern European, Italian or Turkish descent. Loco Dice is interested in all kinds of people and artistic subcultures: he’s proud of people who bring a creative flair to what they do, informed by lives lived ever so slightly less ordinary.

In that sense, Dice’s innate understanding of people: what they sense, what they feel, what they want to imagine, is a part of what distinguishes him from other DJs. He’s very aware when playing in Ibiza of the multiplicity of nationalities that are gathered there, the morass of different desires to be catered to. His inner film scriptwriter makes him capable of translating sounds and kicking it like a local, whether it’s in Naples or in New York. Loco Dice is similarly capable of inspiring, of creating that heady atmosphere that can only be experienced in a crowd of thousands. This skill of his, first cultivated at DC-10, is also no doubt informed by his experiences touring with big name hip hop artists in the ‘90s.

Mark Spoon used to promise him that at some point Loco Dice would shuffle sideways from his beloved house and hip hop to “come over and be one of us”, one of the techno believers. In a sense, he was right, though Loco Dice never leaves anything behind: he still brings out classics, whether classic techno from Maurizio to Basic Channel or gritty boompty house by DJ Sneak, and he’s still fond of composing music, as linear as it may be, that draws on hip hop song structures and basslines. At the end of the day, as Loco Dice sees it, everything runs in loops, and it’s his job to trace a line, to sketch out the next scenes in this soundtrack. Even if life tends to be unpredictable, a little chancey, the next move doesn’t have to be a gamble. In fact, Loco Dice shows via his compositions that it can be very well planned. Listen to his music, imagine the cinematic accompaniments, and you’ll understand how something carefully constructed can begin with a flight of fancy, or a roll of the dice.
