Easterndaze x Berlin 2019 presents Tallin’s Serious Serious

Serious Serious is a label/collective based between Vienna and Tallinn. Their roster varies from cut’n’paste maestro Ratkiller, to existential beatmaker Benzokai and several artists from the Tallinn underground. They will present three artists from their roster at our Easterndaze x Berlin event on 28 November at ACUD Macht Neu (Ratkiller, Benzokai and Kisling).

RATKILLER

The sense of worn-out psychedelia in Ratkiller’s music as well as his obsessions with all kinds of obscurities might ring many bells in listener’s imagination, but it is foremost the playful dialogue between “zeitgeist” and “obsolete”, the constant shifting of forms and their meanings, that leaves us wonder – how does something so unimportant and unsexy ends up being so stimulating and cool? Mihkel Kleis (aka Ratkiller, Edasi, and most recently Court Rat) has been releasing music under numerous underground labels since late 90’s, witnessing and shaping the forming of Estonian experimental music scene, all of this while maintaining his distinctive and somewhat obviously unexpected approach. ratkiller.bandcamp.com

KISLING Kisling is a regular at Vienna’s underground music gatherings thanks to the brave experimentatorship and intensity contained in her sets. Kisling's compositions often transcend logic of a certain style or genre –– like fashion, they combine parallels that are not easily imaginable. kisling.bandcamp.com

BENZOKAI

Benzokai’s way is that of drum, bass and unfriendly rapping.   soundcloud.com/rinla

Listen to their Cashmere Radio mix on our monthly show with tracks from Lolina, Kisling, Jacob Samuel and others!

[yo-yo-kiba-blog]

About what? About having that one special person who you would do anything for? Seeing them every day and thinking about how much you just want to be next to them because their mere presence is enough to make you die happy? Just thinking about them is enough to put a smile on your face, however goofy you seem but you can't help it even if you're in public? Their name being mentioned makes your stomach boil with anticipation because you just want to see them all the more?

Well, yeah.

That's how I feel about her man...

Easterndaze x Berlin 2019

THIRD EDITION OF FESTIVAL CONTINUES TO PAIR ELECTRONIC MUSIC COLLECTIVES OF EASTERN EUROPE + BERLIN TO CELEBRATE DIY ARTS & COMMUNAL ETHOS 

28-30 November 2019 Various venues in Berlin Tickets for each event can be purchased directly at the door. The Easterndaze x Berlin festival once again invites artists, actors and activists from the electronic music scene of Eastern Europe to Berlin, pairing them with locally-based labels/collectives for live performances, DJ sets and talks. Established in 2010, the blog Easterndaze (easterndaze.net) has explored and mapped local DIY scenes operating in Eastern and Central Europe. Founders Lucia Udvardyova and Peter Gonda travelled across the region to record interviews and collect perspectives on how contemporary artists and independent music-related initiatives operate in the region and its socio-political context. The initial result was a series of audio documentaries which then expanded to: a label (Baba Vanga); a networking initiative; radio shows (Resonance FM, Czech Radio, Berlin’s Cashmere Radio); and finally, events around the region, as well as the festival’s first two editions in Berlin (2016, 2018). As the fascination with and discourse around contemporary Eastern European culture gradually enters the mainstream, Easterndaze remains one of the pillars of these investigations nearly a decade strong.
