    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.

    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

    Slugabed (Photo credit: Education Parties)

    Showing the Czech Republic how it’s done in the good ol’ UK, up and coming DJs Slugabed and Kuedo kept the crowd going at the Meetfactory this past Friday.  The event was organized by Prague’s Education Parties and also featured sets by DJs Forma, Floex, and Valta.

    Kuedo was the first out of the two UK DJs.  His set promptly started at midnight with some dark, chilling dubstep that definitely caught the crowd’s attention.  He played for a versatile hour with tracks ranging from glitch, grime, dubstep, to hip hop.  He definitely got the audience warmed up and set the mood right for the rest of the evening.

    Slugabed took the stage at around 1am and played for about an hour and half.  His set started off with some slow, dark dubstep but he varied it up by dropping some heavy bass and adding some fun funky, bouncy tracks that kept the crowd movin’ and groovin’.

    Education Parties did a great job of organizing the event.  All the DJs went on as scheduled, there were no delays, and the crowd was clearly digging it.  The Meetfactory was the perfect size–small enough for the show to feel intimate and personal, while just big enough not to feel too crowded and claustrophobic.  The show was a success on all counts–great vibes, great people, and of course, great music.

    This Friday, the Czech Republic welcomes UK’s Emika back to her motherland.  Originally from Bristol, the producer/singer currently resides in Berlin where she has been working in sound design.  This weekend, she’ll be performing here in Prague for the first time.  Emika has a unique style that combines the dark, melodic dubstep of Bristol with the eerie, minimal house beats that make up the Berlin electronic scene.  On top of her production, the artist also sings with a voice similar to that of American indie musician Zola Jesus.  Emika has just released her first album, self-titled Emika, off Ninja Tune Records this past October (2011).  Judging from her studio recordings, her live performance will definitely be one for the books.  She’s got a femme fatale look and sound that will not disappoint.  This one’s for all the independent women out there.

    Tickets are 250 CZK via ticketportal.cz, ticketpro.cz, and ticketstream.cz and 350 CZK at the door.
