Electronic A longing for darkened rooms, bodies moving together in a kind of spiritual hedonism and immersion in crystal-clear electronic beats is but one aspect of pre-Covid nostalgia that underpins this intriguing – and intriguingly kinetic – pan-generational survey of machine-powered music, its associated cultures of place and its accompanying, evolving aesthetic. Is the concept of ‘dance music all night long’ now consigned to history, to museum-based assessment through a curatorial gaze only? The ‘Design Museum’ reopened its doors to the public on July 31, 2020 with the temporary exhibition ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’ (originally due to open on April 1, 20200). ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’ is an exhibition by the ‘Musée de la Musique - Philharmonie de Paris’ exploring the hypnotic world of electronic music - from its origins to its futuristic dreams. The London edition will feature the museum premiere of electronic pioneers ‘The Chemical Brothers’’ sensory spectacle by creative studio ‘Smith & Lyall’ featuring mesmerising visuals for the Grammy Award-winning track “Got to Keep On”. Entry to the museum will be by advance ticket only and the museum has temporarily significantly extended its opening hours until 9pm to accommodate visitor needs and new guidelines have been introduced to safeguard staff and visitors. ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’, ‘Design Museum’, London until February 14, 2021. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #1024architecture #jeanyveslaloup #muséedelamusiquephilharmoniedeparis #kraftwerk #chemicalbrothers #nightclub #rave #electronicmusic #flyers #graphicdesign #underworld #tomato #house #designmuseum #electronicfromkraftwerktothechemicalbrothers (at Design Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDiw_VbFKrA/?igshid=xabdjw06evac

Electronic For all who have lost themselves on a dance floor over the last 50 years, there will come a moment when ‘Electronic’ will hijack you, out of the blue, with a surge of nostalgic joy and an irresistible urge to shake your hips. Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love’? Underworld’s ‘Born Slippy’? Music is this exhibition’s secret weapon. ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’ is a pulsing panorama of electronic sound, its machines, graphics, spaces and the tribes that venerate its various forms. A bespoke audio history has been mixed for the show by French DJ Laurent Garnier. Electronic music drawn from five decades floods through the space, reaching a crescendo in a chamber illuminated by a mesmerising installation of responsive lighting rods created by ‘1024 Architecture’. Want more music? Plug your headphones into jacks installed beside some of the exhibits. You can hear the spooky sounds of ‘Marie Antoinette Aussenac de Broglie’ playing the electronic ‘Croix Sonore’ in the 1930s. Or Daphne Oram’s experimental piece for orchestra and electronics ‘Still Point’ – written in 1949 but not performed until the ‘2018 Proms’. Elsewhere once upon a time ravers reminisce about oneness and comedowns and stars of the Paris ballroom scene deliver an epic schooling in the art of the death drop. Evoking the experience of being in a club, the exhibition will transport you through the people, art, design, technology and photography that have been shaping the electronic music landscape. Travel to dance floors from Detroit to Chicago, Paris, Berlin and the UK’s thriving scene; featuring over 400 objects and the likes of Detroit techno legends Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin, "Godfather of House Music" Frankie Knuckles, ‘Haçienda’ designer Ben Kelly and the extreme visual world created by ‘Weirdcore’ for ‘Aphex Twin’s’ “Collapse”. ‘Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers’, ‘Design Museum’, London until February 14, 2021. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #1024architecture #jeanyveslaloup (at Design Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDiwjiPFxqo/?igshid=qf4bduvql0gz
