Born and raised in Indonesia, Omar Joesoef built this EP with samples of old records of ethnic music that he has found in an abandoned radio station on Java island. Named Lokananta, it is one of the first radios setting up in Indonesia in the 50’s. The recordings in Omar’s EP come from rituals and meditative chants of one of the last tribes still living in the ancient way, completely disconnected from the modern world.
Les Disques De La Mort presents the meaner side of Cosmo Vitelli. The aptly titled “Un Episode Psychotique” is disco gone wrong, italo with neurosis, straying from polished clichés, musical yet strangely anxiogen. This is turned into an Eighties monster by GOTT aka Sneaker and Scannoir. Their Creatio Instrumentalis is a cold funk monster.
With his upcoming two-part LP on Malka Tuti, Cosmo Vitelli brings forward his more diverse and somehow mature musical side, combining elements of post-punk, krautrock, electronica and pop on this first of 2 four-track records. The songs on the LP transcend style and genre. They manage to hold and playfully sustain an idea that echoes throughout them all – a musical “saying” as well as a personal life experience, and they reflect Cosmo’s prolific studio work of the past 2 years since he moved to Berlin.
Launmomentdat in parc is a multicultural experience in the form of concerts, shows, exhibitions and film screenings that will take place between 7-9 June 2019 in the People’s Park in Timișoara. The festival includes a musical program on three stages, exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, theater performances, sports and dance activities.
This year the festival is part of the Saison France-Roumanie 2019, so there are many French artists, like the electro-house veteran Cosmo Vitelli, Zaltan from Antinote and his partner Raphael Top-Secret or the electronic maverick Djedjotronic, who provided one of the best album of 2018. Besides them, is also the Swiss DJ Sassy J, who is doing her Patchwork nights for 10 years now.
These kind of artists are not very often seen in line-ups at Romanian festivals and I’m very happy to see this in Timișoara.
Timișoara will be the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2021, so they are supporting these kind of events … and bwt the entry is free 🙂
