Copyrights und Aphex' Twins

Leider weiss die taz nichts von Aphex Twin, so viel mal zu guter Recherche (oder finden sie "Aphex Twins" einfach schöner?). Das Interview mit Girl Talk ist trotzdem spannend in Bezug auf Copyrights und die Praxis des "Fair Use".
Spannendes zur deutschen Rechtslage für den Alltag gibt es hier:

Regarding New Year's Resolutions (= Gute Vorsätze):

"You want a life that you cannot live, that's what keeps you competetive"
taken from Bright Eyes - "Happy Accident" lyrics re-issued on this album:

Jazz auf Farsi aus Berlin

Cyminology hat den Musikwettbewerb "Creole" für Berlin-Brandenburg und Meckpomm gewonnen. Jazz auf Farsi oft getragen und melodisch. Genau das richtige für das ECM-Label, auf dem die dritte CD der Band 2009 erschienen ist.

berlin: Friday - Hudson Mohawke , Rustie, Untold et. al. @ Berghain

While the subtle dubstep of Untold can be called "wonkified" already, this will only be the warm up to a night of "Wonky", the style of playfullly spaced out dubstep. If you wonder what it is all about, try out the online computer game "Butter star galactica" of hudson mohawke to get a visual and audible idea. Every level mastered enables a music download.

Hudson Mohawke and Rustie are Glasgow's freshest - Wonky-Wobbel-Glitch-Poppers par excellence. Hot buttered beats, overloaded with colour and lust. Alongside you can enjoy the bleep electronica of redinho (numbers) or NED and Jackmaster. 
Second Floor Panorama Bar: Thomas Fehlmann LIVE

Kontra-Musik & Oni Ayhun

Oni Ayhun creates intimate works of drum sound - as in this Oni Ayhun remix of Jason Fine for Kontra-Musik, a swedish label, agency and shop which grasps techno as a serious sound art.
On his own label Oni Ayhun's tracks feature an even more free-floating drum evolution - sometimes piled up to a techno hymn.

Worldtronics 2010 - noch drei Tage Dach

After a well attended start and a typical sophomore slump the Worldtronics festival found it's motto „Electronica Surprise“ only at the third edition last year. This December it is time for round four of electronic music from beyond western europe and north america: Worldtronics neglects presenting either puristic art electronica or straightforward clubbing and thereby surprising just about everybody. On four nights Worldtronics features Nairobi (already yesterday), Barcelona (i.e. the „Rumba Catalan“), Russia and Mexico. Two movies and the family atmosphere workshop happening, the „Elektro-Fachmarkt“ complete the programme.
This years focus clearly is set on dance styles. For the opening this wednesday, Berlin-based Jahcoozi, Gebrüder Teichmann and Modeselektor introduce their Nairobi project BLNRB-NRBLN. The urban dance music artists work together with Kenyan capital's rap scene, e.g. Uuko Flani and Necessary Noize. As the surprising element, the „Radi“ percussion group and Michel O'ngaro blended into the programme. Tonight comes warm and easy, reviving gitano-cuban „Rumba catalan“ - a hybrid of hybrids, namely iberian gypsy and caribbean music. The only surprising project will probably be technoidous Asférico meets the latin groove of Reparto Caribe.
What in Western Europe often is reduced to „party music“ does play a whole different role in more restricted countries as Russia is one. Together with russian VJ-artists a highlight of the Festival will be the appearance of Pixelord on russian friday: Glitchy 8-bit sound that nevertheless bears rudiments of songwriting and the folokoric-electonic bricolages of Pixelords alias Gultskra Artikler. The russian evening is curated by Natasha Padabed of SKIF-Festival. The reader may compare her selection with a Felix Kubin radio featrue on „Eastern Electronics“ for MACBA radio. (see below)
The best festival atmosphere will certainly come up on Saturday, with biting next level beats from Mexico, selected by Matias Aguayo. 3Ball MTY are rebellious in consequence, Arturo Heras presents, what he usually does as an urban dance streetcorner roadshow. At the „Elektro-Fachmarkt“ on saturday afternoon, visitors can participate in sound production workshops, meet up with Berlin's labels of global electronics and let themselves be „zig-zagged“ by DIEM (danish conservatory of electronic sound) or gigs of DeWalta (Karaoke Kalk, Super!) and DJ Markus Detmer (Staubgold, Super too!).

It is Christmas Time...

...so we are surrounded by glittering and jingling sounds as well as emphatic songs about godly love anyway.  Why not embrace the facts and listen to a subtle version of the heavenly strings and trumpets tonight.
In Hamburg, where Ensemble Resonanz will play Telemann and Bryars for homeless people. Or everywhere with Bryars and Tom Waits. (Extracts. The full versions are 25 and 70 minutes!)
