Press Info (German Only):
Isolation der Vorgang, dass etwas von seiner Umwelt isoliert wird. Die Chance, dass hier und jetzt aus einer anderen Perspektive kennen zu lernen.

Tag X und Isolation machen gemeinsame Sache im artheater. Headliner número uno ist kein geringerer als PFIRTER aus Argentinien. Der MindTrip Label Kopf ist eine Koryphäe für atmosphärisch perfekt treibenden, aber auch industriellen Techno Sound. Labels wie CLR, PoleGroup, oder Stroboscopic Artefacts reißen sich um seine Produktionen und veröffentlichen diese seit Jahren. No more words to say. Dancefloor Techno at it’s best.

Die zweiten Headliner der Nacht, SHDW & OBSCURE SHAPE aus Stuttgart, sind gerade nicht mehr aus der Szene wegzudenken. Nicht nur wegen ihrem extrem erfolgreichen Label From Another Mind. Welches aktuell eine Remix EP mit Namen wie Rødhad, Dax J, Tale of Us, Konstantin Sibold etc. gedroppt hat. Sie veröffentlichen auch selbst nur auf den besten Labels, wie z.B. Rekids und Soma, um nur zwei zu nenne.

Support kommt natürlich aus den eigenen Reihen. KAVARO von der Sector Cologne. EMPTY VISION, STIKDORN, MIRAN N. und MO S CH von Isolation. JAN KEUCHEN und CHRISTIAN ZAH von Tag X.

Part 2: “Electrified – An Interview with Anja Kraft”

Interview & Sets:

Hello Anja – nice to have you for a short interview about you, electrified. and the young polish technoscene. You are a part of electrified. Tell us what is it and what is the concept and the artists behind the project?

I created electrified. in 2007 when I was started broadcasting my own mixes. I decided to go with the flow only on my way – I was so in love with old trance progressive tracks those days but I was discovered also a very dark and experimental music which now Im calling techno. Team focused DJs and also my close friends from polish electronic scene: Zariush, Yellen and Maciej Głębocki.

Yellen – “Gramofonowa.Podcast *Jan.2017*”

Anja Kraft – “Gramofonowa.Podcast *Oct.2016*”

In the past you have played for raut – please tell us a about it and why the partys are closed?

Around two years ago Marta invited me to join the team so we could work together. I left electrified. for a year to make RAUT’s things happen. 🙂 We did some good parties during the 12 months of existence. I had a lot of fun. But after this one year break I decided to go back to the roots I mean my beloved child electrified.

Are the individual crews and promoter cross-linked among each other?

Polish electronic scene is very weird and divided. Some crews working together and supporting each other. But some of them… not. I think the whole scene here is so small that crews should support theirs parties and actions to develop it.

(Anja Kraft)

Which international artists/crews have influence of you and personal of electrified.? Does the west play a bigger role or does influence also come from the east like russia etc.?

Thats the funny fact but I see clearly now why progressive music affected me. I hear it in my selection, in the style Im mixing tracks, in the little things I love in some songs. I don’t know if only west but yes I love music from South America especially Argentina and I adore also scandinavian sounds. On the other hand Im insanely in love with Georgia’s Khidi and Bassiani.

At last let’s take a look into the future: What are your wishes regarding electrified. and the polish technoscene?

To be honest I don’t have any wishes. I will be watching both grow.

Press Info:
Vanta 004 comes from Alex Cortex, an artist who has been producing music for over 20 years now and who has been featured on many Killekill releases already.

For this release he delivers two monumental tracks in his very own aesthetics: although both tracks are straight at first sight, their complex beat structure makes them shift and drift. And also their sound is distinctive: crystal clear and without any of the reverbs that you hear so often in modern techno they still have an incredible depth and sound more psychedelic than most of the other stuff that you hear nowadays. Killer!
