"Cirque du Solyanka" - Solyanka is 4 years old!
Клубные российские · 09.06.2011
The Solyanka club celebrates its four-year anniversary with a significant event - the stunning New York gem (we would have called him a boy if he weren't so magnificent) Nicolas Jaar, a virtuoso of elegant intellectual electronics, about whom the entire progressive music world is currently speaking. Nicolas Jaar - the raw nerve of electronic music in our time, not just a musician but a person of great taste who dreams of merging music, literature, and cinema in his existential work, simply because he "likes the idea of creating a whole." Philosophy without words, a canvas of sounds, euphoria without doping - you believe in both the feasibility of realization and the charm of the idea, relying only on his art-slow sound.

Nicolas Jaar opens the Birthday marathon at Solyanka on June 10, Friday. The next day, the celebration continues with a costume party in the old good freak-solyanka spirit accompanied by the eccentric female group from St. Petersburg "Kolibri." "I took the paint - like fire! I will paint everything around!.." - well, we remember. On this day, take your paint and color your faces as advised by the organizers, in the colors "marengo" and "lagoon," as it is Saturday that corresponds to "Cirque..." in the stated celebration.
But if Solyanka opens its Birthday with hopes of the current days in the guise of Nicolas Jaar, it closes them with legends in the form of the "eternally young" Black Strobe. Having defined the sound of the electronic scene of the 2000s, turned into a full-fledged rock band in 1997, lost one of its founders in 2007, but returning to us fresh and bold in 2008 with the soundtrack from Guy Ritchie's "RocknRolla", Black Strobe - on the final day of the "solyanka" celebration specifically for the adepts of beautiful, masculine, classic, and brutal sound.
