RTS.FM and WhiteCube Berlin in Moscow

The internet radio station RTS.FM is conducting a large-scale international event. This time, the Berlin label and creative collective WhiteCube is partnering with RTS.FM. The German friends are bringing a real media performance to Shanti, which will include not only music from the "white cube" residents Cem Orlow and Larsson, but also real-time video from the Clubvisuals.net project. The Russian side will feature a bright and diverse lineup of DJs. Sets that night will be played by Meshkov, Sapunov, and representatives of the new generation DJ Sonya and Korablove.

Those familiar with contemporary art are well aware of the term White Cube. However, in recent times, several associations have emerged with this name. In addition to the well-known art gallery in London's East End, this is how a group of new art practitioners from Berlin calls themselves. The Berlin WhiteCube is not so much a label or promo-group in the traditional sense but rather a creative union. A group of people engaged in various types of audio and visual arts, united by a common ideology and similar ideas of beauty. Recently, WhiteCube has established itself as a significant player in the club scene. Their events, traveling from one club to another, attract an impressive lineup of participants. In addition to residents (musicians, DJs, and video artists), WhiteCube collaborates with representatives of labels such as Pokerflat, Trapez, and BPitch Control.

Cem Orlow, a native of the small northern German town of Lübeck, began his DJ career 15 years ago. In his youth, he was captivated by broken rhythms. After moving to Berlin, Cem founded his own promo group Blue Jet Production, organizing drum & bass parties in the city. Soon his musical preferences shifted, and his new love became deep house: "a flighty and changeable music that perfectly expresses groove and motion," as the DJ describes this genre. This new musical direction eventually led him to meet WhiteCube, where Orlow carries the honorary title of resident.

Lars Bramer, calling himself Larsson, grew up in Berlin and quickly burst onto the music elite. Starting his career in the mid-2000s, the talented tech-house producer soon found himself in demand by the most prestigious labels. His records were released by Traum Schallplatten, BPitch Control, Hi Freaks, and Rotary Cocktail, while remixes from Lars were commissioned by Extrawelt and Jose Rodriguez. Finally, in 2008, the track Ability To Jump caught the attention of the label M_nus, whose boss, Richie Hawtin, included this composition in the mix Sounds From Can Elles.

The visual side of WhiteCube is represented by Brazilian native Christian Wolf. A few years ago, Christian moved to Berlin, where he enrolled in the university of arts in the graphic design department. However, what Wolf does expands the boundaries of classical design many times over: his specialty is called "visual music." Under the name Clubvisuals.net, Christian creates unique futuristic visuals that accompany the performances of many musicians and DJs.
