The Art Of Breakcore is a wake up call for the raw side of 'breakcore' that is not just about dance music, but more focussed on experiment, breaking borders and political consciousness.
In the early '90's breakcore developed out of the 80's & 90's industrial, punk, hardcore breakbeats and noise. Some called the phenomenon 'digital hardcore', others preferred the term 'breakcore', or named it 'electronix'. In all different developements influenced by things happening in the world as well as developements within the music itself, breakcore changed through the years into a broad spectrum of diversity. Some of the developements continued and others almost ceased to exist. Within the breakcore there are many obscure subgenres that always found just small attention, but were actually revolutionary. Labels like Widerstand Records, Trash Tapes and later also Phantomnoise, Seven Samuari Records and Formosan gave interesting views with combining industrial, political / society consciousness and riot sounds on their releases. Event series like Utterly Wipe Out broke the barriers between noise, speedcore and breakcore, while other crews focussed more on jungle, rave and later dubstep. Through the years the first catagory seems to became obscure, so we decided to bring back a bit of the ideals that lived back then.
During this night we have a special line up of artists that show their vision on the art of breakcore each in their unique way.
Alexander Dreyhaupt aka Worlds Ab-Art, mainly known under his breakcore moniker aleXdee (but worked also as Hagbard Celine or Amiga Squawk Tones) is the founder of Trash Tapes & Phantomnoise Records. Besides he is Co-Founder of the "100% Fakecore Networt" and the "Strukturbruch Events" in Leipzig, Germany along with LXC of Alphacut Records. He released his first tapes back in 1994, inspired by digital hardcore, gabba and punk music from that time. Through the years he developed his sound and finally had chance to release his first vinyl "Wer Sich Wehrt Ist Lebendig" in 1998 on the Austrian label Widerstand Records. Right after that he founded his own vinyl label Phantomnoise Records, which was, the very last "Label of the Month" on John Peel Show in Oktober 2004, only two weeks before Peel died. After that, Phantomnoise stopped releasing on a regular basis and Alexdee spend five years mostly with his radio show "The Fakecore Show" and various other projects. On this event he will give a special dj performance. Don't expect some catchy danceable set or a faked live act with some ready to play mp3 file on a sexy laptop, but a kind of real stinky vinyl set turntablism without any turntablism (he's just too lazy and inapt for that). A small, condensed noisy history of phantomnoise and all related fakecore. Bon appétit & Bon voyage!
Le Rouage Lytique, formerly known as Cocktail Lytique, is the mastermind behind the Geräuschinfusion, Utterly Wipe Out and Lacerated Fragments event series in Berlin. As Orange he's been active as a (web)designer, and photographer for a long time within the left wing Berlin scene, one of his main projects is http://www.freak-animals.org/" class="postlink He's been active as a dj since the 90's, under names as Sahid Rouage, Jimmi Rocket and Kathinka Rouage, developing from industrial music to noise and breakcore but also queerbeat, and as producer / live act Cocktail Lytique / Le Rouage Lytique with extreme breakcore sounds without compromise.
Fobia is a experimental-breakcore-hiphop producer originally from Brazil, currently living in Berlin. In 2007 she found her own label Seven Samurai Records, where from she released works by Schizoid, Noize Punishment and Ashtar-DXD amongst others. In the same year she performed for the first time in Netherlands, with a breakcore set on Not Your Monkey Not Your Robot. Through the years she made name as a dj in Germany, Switserland and Belgium amongst others. In fall 2012 the organisation of The Art Of Breakcore met her again and heard her play an exiting set of experimental breakcore and noise / soundscapes, which she mixed in a way not many can do. Therefore it's time to get her to Netherlands again!
Bart Hard is active since 12 years within the underground circuit, as dj as well as organisator. He is co-founder of event series such as Not Your Monkey Not Your Robot, but also likes to work on various other projects. His latest project is titled 'The Art Of Breakcore'...
Before the event itself, people have chance to debate about politix, noise, breakcore and the way these things work out together. There will be the new Datacide magazine available from Praxis, as well as a info stand of people supporting the music as well as the political side of the idea behind this event. More detailed info about this part will follow.
