    Drafter, Ninjato, Spongemagnet, Jaak De, Digitale, Stubborn, Leftchest, Verfest @ Kokpit Kafe (Prague) August 10th, 2012


    2012 - 08.09

    Holy hell! Lunchmeat is bringing some amazing glitch and bass acts from around the world to the Kokpit Kafe in Prague. Entry is only 50 Kc ($2)! That’s about two beers.

    DRAFTER: Spaced out glitch-hop producer from Caracas, Venezuela.
    As a bass player, for the rockband Cirko Vulkano, Aldo toured all over the American continent. It was early 2010 when he started the experimental solo project DRAFTER; heavily inspired by the Low End Theory podcasts and his love for synths. After many years of playing live with bands and thinking about the audience reaction it was a relief for him to make more introspective music without worrying about styles and/or feedback from the crowd. DRAFTER describes his style as experimental music based on pounding synthesized beats and low end frequency (ab)use. You can definitely hear the Southern American influences through all the bleeps and beats.

    NINJATO: Shaolin glitch master from Ghent, Belgium
    Ninjato, formerly known as Störungstelle, is heavily inspired by the sound of Doshy, Loops Haunt & Amon Tobin. Just his influences Ninjato loves heavy sound design combined with organic melodies. Add some glitch and bleeps to that and you have a definition of the sound of the Ninja. Ninjato played as a support act for Shabazz Palaces. Other artists he shared the stage with include Slugabed, Doshy, Loops Haunt, Rudi Zygadlo and more. His album ‘Chronicle of the six Samurai’ is coming out on Vinyl in September 2012.

    SPONGEMAGNET: Trosmocosmic beat duo from Brussels, Belgium
    Spongemagnet is the combined minds from Umbrelladelika’s Shepherd & Egon Fisk.
    Their sound is all about wonky beats, fonky melodies and groovy fx. They shared the stage with some of their heroes: Baconhead, Fulgeance, Sunken Foal and & Kelpe. They have a forthcoming album on Herrmutt Lobby’s Thin Consolation label.

    A Journey into Unknown Sounds and Trippy Visuals


    2012 - 03.27

    Opuka at Lunchmeat 3/24

    This past weekend was Prague’s annual Lunchmeat Festival at Bio Oko and Meetfactory.  The two day festival consisted of a number of different DJs spinning everything from glitch, dubstep, ambient, experimental, and more.  It doesn’t stop there–the music was also accompanied by crazy visuals from various artists, some by the DJs themselves.

    Incite/, a German electronic, audio-visual duo provided a memorable set with pulsating, intense, experimental beats that timed so well with the black and white imagery projected over them.  Their performance embodied the festival’s intent of mixing sound with sight.

    The normally bare and minimal Meetfactory featured installations hanging from the ceiling and also opened up a second stage called “A Very Foreign Affairs Dubstep Stage.”  This stage showcased talented and well-known DJs such as Author–Ruckspin and Jack Sparrow–and Kode 9.  The stage was located in a tiny, almost claustrophobic, dark room reminiscent of vibes found at venues like Plastic People in London.

    Author played a slower, melodic dubstep set, staying true to the underground dubstep atmosphere of the tiny space.  Kode 9′s set was much more upbeat and featured a wider range of music styles that certainly kept the audience grooving.  He mixed in random songs such as a remix of Lil Wayne’s “A Millie,” which only added to the excitement and entertainment of seeing Kode 9 live.

    The two days were jammed pack with a myriad of audio-visual sensation that took over Prague all throughout the town.

    Lunchmeat Festival 2012 @ Meetfactory March 23-24, 2012


    2012 - 02.28

    Next month, on Friday March 23rd, Meetfactory and Bio Oko will host the 3rd Annual Lunchmeat Festival.  It’s a two day festival that starts on Friday and continues to Sunday.  The concept behind Lunchmeat is a bit different from your usual music festival.

    “Lunchmeat is an international festival of electronic music, visual art and new media based in Prague, Czech Republic. The main feature of the festival is to keep a balance between musician and visualizer, to let them perform in an organic connection; visuals and sound as equal elements.” [Lunchmeat.cz]

    The festival will showcase DJs and artists all over Europe.  Notable acts include UK’s Author (Techtonic) and Kode9 (Hyperdub).  Author is the collaboration of two well known dubstep producers, Jacksparrow and Ruckspin.  Both have been producing and touring since 2007, performing at sold-out festivals such as Outlook in Croatia.  Kode9 will be playing twice–in both music and visual contexts.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with his music, take a listen and you’ll automatically understand the endless possibilities of expressing Kode9′s music through a visual medium.  His music smoothly blends dub and dubstep and evokes a spacial, eerie mood.

    The festival will also feature sets by Incite (DE), Nikka + Alba G. Corral (ES), DMX Krew (UK) + SPAM (CZ), Hecq (DE), and Florence To (UK).

    Tickets:
    Bio Oko 190 CZK presale / 250 CZK on the spot
    MeetFactory 290 CZK + tax presale / 390 CZK on the spot
    2 day festival pass 480 CZK + tax presale
