    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
