Dense

We’re back. After nine days of in-festival store at the Club Transmediale festival, we’re all back home in the store in the Oderberger Str 34. But nine days of doing the split between two stores doesn’t stop us from sending our weekly newsletter.

Noteworthy this week are the last album by Efterklang, “Parades” (people who saw this band play at the CTM will agree), as well as, finally, the CD version of Pole‘s “Steingarten remixes” (the four 12″ gathered there are also all in stock), and the second Felix Kubin album in two weeks, “Axolotl Lullabies”, this time coming from the Canadian label Oral.

February will be a busy month. Not only are we organising a new Densefloor party (remember the first?), but it will be followed the same week by another event organised by Dense. Both are taking place at NBI, and both are guaranteed 100% good music only by your favorite Dense pushers.

The first party, the release party for San Francisco’s acido/IDM wizkid Exillon “It’s Ok To Dance” on Ad Noiseam, will take place on February 11th. Playing wih Exillon will be our local-hero Hecq. So that’s two live sets of solid electronica, IDM and good acid, the whole thing coming with DJs sets by your own Marius Reisser and Nicolas Chevreux. Oh, and yes, it’s still free.

And here’s already something for your ears, a full mp3 of the track ”Darkassid” taken from Exillon‘s “It’s Ok To Dance”:

Same week, same place, but a few days later: Dense presents a rare show by Switzerland’s Lump200 and Berlin-expat Buddysystem, wrapped with a DJ set by the Nightwood Soundsystem.

So mark down February 11th and 15th on your calendar, and see you at the NBI for both events.
