Pretty Vakant #2 @ Horst Krzbrg, March 12! ∞
Vakant invites!
The second edition of Vakant’s new party series at Horst Krzbrg in Berlin goes into round two. Long time artist and ‘Studio 10′ producer Mathias Kaden joins for a all night set supported by another local Gera citizen: Tyler. Definetely the place to be on Friday night, so better come early!
Here’s a free and new set by Tyler to give a prove we have a real new talent here!
VA033 Tolga Fidan – Gaijin ∞
- Gaijin
- Drunk Rotations
- Alright (whatpeopleplay excklusive)
Tolga Fidan, in his last tasty impartment on Vakant before his solo debut album due out in October of this year, brings 2 full sides of the most expansive mind and body moving you will find outside of a gypsy circle on Jupiter.
If techno has a jazz fusion subgenre, A-side ‘Gaijin’ is it, making Tolga our own personal Chick Corea with a strobe light. With the prerequisite thickness and authority we have come to take for granted from the Vakant camp, ‘Gaijin’ goes to space while sporting an afro and 15 piece avant-garde jazz band. 15 minutes later you remember the trip but have no idea where you’ve landed.
B-side ‘Drunk Rotations’ loses a few members of the band due to cosmic radiation. Remaining members cut their parts into smaller morsels while Chick aka Tolga applies the icing by way of piano. Then the stowaway horn section appears. Where did the modular synth fit, and who brought the Theremin? These are questions for the Mystics. Yet in all the detail of ‘Drunk Rotations’ you never lose the jack or your place on the cosmic dance floor.
Nico Purman’s Interstellar Discotheque ∞
A journey into sound, 105 minutes of interstellar disco, or Nico Purman`s unquestionable ability to blend Kate Bush into Moodymann and further to Bryan Ferry’s Roxy Music, and make it all sound so homogenic it makes us ask is Nico from this earth or the space?
We hope you enjoy this piece of music, timeless and classic it seems to last forever.
VALT3 Dario Zenker – Belfort ∞
Vakant continues its VALT series with the third installment of uncompromising club tracks. Started in 2008 with Onur Özer and followed up by Tolga Fidan in 2009, Dario Zenker brings up VALT3 in 2010.
Vakant’s representation in the decent south of Germany locates ‘Belfort’ as close to Detroit as it’s indefinite in time. Was it written by littleDario in the 90’s? Or maybe on a US tour in Detroit itself with some helping hands? We don’t know, but surely have a timeless piece of music here.
