Jeff Samuel and Tigerskin at the pre-opening of Citerna Hall
Клубные российские · 26.11.2006
Citerna (cistern) – a water reservoir made of concrete – the zero line. Concrete is used to build modern Moscow for the future. Citerna is a place in the city - modern, without a face, no style, nothing that defines or interferes. Different times for different communications. Sovereignty.
Citerna does not impose a relationship, does not belong, and does not belong. Urban nature. We go to the forest, to the mountains, walk along the seashore, for ourselves. This place was born out of the desire to create a line of intersection between music, design, culture and cinema. The point of Citerna is to make different forms of contemporary art accessible to different people, endlessly. The music at Citerna is delivered through a Funktion-One horn speaker system, the world leader in club sound. The concrete is evenly flooded with light using high-tech LEDs - Citerna becomes a canvas for painting.
The headliners of the event are Jeff Samuel and Tigerskin aka Dub Taylor (Live). Jeff Samuel is one of the most successful American minimal techno/tech house musicians. His career began in the mid-90s and since then he has regularly appeared on the ranks of the best German labels. At one time, Steve Bug and Michael Mayer equally noted that Jeff has a special talent for imbuing mechanical techno with warmth and sensuality. Richie Hawtin did not stand aside either, using the music of Jeff Samuel in the legendary project "De9 | Transitions".
Today, Jeff continues to improve his imposing style, creativity filled with the intellectual subtleties of minimalism and irresistible dancefloor energy. Samuel's DJ sets are known for their special extravaganza, as evidenced by the "Pokert Flat vol. 4" mix and endless tours. Jeff Samuel's debut album "Step" is released in November on the Cologne label Trapez, and insiders are already calling the record a classic.
The man behind the aliases Tigerskin, Dub Taylor and Korsakow is Alex Kruger, who lives in Berlin and has been releasing music under various names for over 10 years on labels such as Dessous, Force Tracks, Highgrade, Dirt Crew, Morris/Audio, Raum...musik and Resopal Schallware. Few techno/house musicians in the world can compete with Kruger's productivity and versatility. Alex also produces the music of the well-known Phonique and brings a special magic to his work.
In recent years, the live performances of this undoubtedly iconic character have achieved legendary status. Despite the abundance of experiments with various genres and sounds, in the work of Alex Kruger you can always catch a unique style; this is impeccably fashionable and smart dance music, overflowing with positive energy.
