Fred P. / Soul People Music / NYC

..........................................................................................................................................................................................

Anyone who followed the development of house music made in the usa in the last decade will certainly have met the art of fred peterkin aka fred p aka black jazz consortium. Since a while the New Yorkc City native that is working on his very own music for almost 20 years is on everyone's lips as he is releasing some of the gentlest soul infiltrated four-to-the-floor house creations you can get.

His musical set phrase isn't new or special as he is often simply melting shuffling percussions with elementary melodies. but he does it in a sense that the heavy used and abused phrase "deepness" finally gets a fresh truthfully new meaning.

As a man who danced in his younger years in legendary nyc clubs like the red zone, sound factory or tunnel to dj sets of larger-than-life selectors like david morales, frankie knuckles or danny tenaglia, he learned that sometimes less is more. and that he should rather listen to his heart and soul, then to the susurrus of the music market.

That is why you can call his house music journey music, music to travel. sometimes it is an introspective and meditative journey sometimes an inspirational and lively one. it always stays visionary while using simple codes to transform his inner voice into rhythms and melodies. Most of the eps and albums that he produced as fred p or black jazz consortium have been released via his very own label soul people music, which exists since ten years. as fred p he also dropped 12inches on jus-ed's underground quality imprint as well as on toshiya kawasaki's mule music label.

Venus Volcanism & In Atlas / LIVE Sat 29 Oct :: 23.00

.....................................................................................................................................................................

The collaboration between Venus Volcanism & In Atlas took place in the fall of 2015, after a immediate chemistry when the two artist moved in together. 'When we started this collaboration we agreed on, very fast, that we wanted to make a project where chaos and imperfection was the important and most dominent elements. A project where feelings could outrage and a project where we could bullshit the norms and standards a bit'.

In Atlas is the 27 years old artist from Copenhagen, Denmark. She is a singer and a electronica procucer who likes to mix melodic vocal-sounds with pulsing beats sampled from selfrecorded sounds. In Atlas had her first live in march 2015 in Copenhagen.

Venus Volcanism (a.k.a. Rena Rasouli) is a lo-fi postpunk project inspired by the planet Venus and by the powerfull feelings which are burning like volcanic lava in a human soul. Minimal synthesizer melodies, dry basslines, guitars that reminds you of space and explosions and infernal vocals buried in reverb combined with the mechanical repeated movement of a drummachine. Collaborated also with the artists DimDJ and Miltiades.
