Update Music Moscow - LiveJournal Electronic Music Festival

LiveJournal Electronic Music Festival

Update Music Moscow

Attention! The St. Petersburg LiveJournal electronic music festival Update Music, which has already successfully taken place twice in St. Petersburg, is coming to Moscow. At the moment, this is the only active LiveJournal festival for users from St. Petersburg.

The goal of Update Music Moscow is to introduce the residents of the capital to the St. Petersburg vision of the LiveJournal festival. The distinctive feature of this vision is a well-thought-out musical format: only electronic music will be played, and the musicians and DJs (exclusively from St. Petersburg) will truly be LiveJournal users, far from novices in music.

Electronic music is the music of the new century, which has become a de facto standard for all civilized humanity, yet many people here know unjustly little about it.

Program:

20:00 - 21:00 (St. Petersburg)/idm
21:00 - 22:00 (St. Petersburg)/idm, downbeat
22:00 - 23:00 (St. Petersburg)/experimental idm
23:00 - 24:00 (St. Petersburg)/big beat, downtempo

Booka Dehuk

Booka Dehuk has been involved in electronic music since around 1998. Together with Yellowhead (under the collective pseudonym ), he created the soundtrack for the legendary : a hard and viscous, incredibly complex techno music at a speed of 56 beats per minute. In 1999, he produced the timeless masterpiece , captivating the music community from the first seconds. He plays with the listener, leaving it a mystery until the last moment what he will present: hard minimal techno or melodic idm?

Jeune homme

Behind the French phrase meaning simply 'young man', there is the truly young Gleb Kalinin. Jeune homme's work is an experiment in the primary sense of the word: formulated goals give no idea of the end result. The musician distances himself from any stylistic frameworks, preferring to simply call his music 'experimental' in quotation marks. He has participated in festivals such as (St. Petersburg), (Minsk), .

KLUtCh

KLUtCh's music is tech-savvy, intellectual, and at times radical. A unique combination of the aggression of super-fast breaks and a vivid, sometimes obsessively melodic, style is always presented in unexpectedly fresh sound solutions, stylistically ranging from minimal techno and computer game soundtracks to electro and ambient, while avoiding trivial clichés. 2 of KLUtCh's albums were released on one of the most famous Russian labels, Cheburec records. He performs in Russia and abroad periodically.

Yellowhead

As Yellowhead, the electronic musician has existed since 1998. In terms of musical influences, he says that - as can be understood from the pseudonym - his work has been influenced by such groups as Yello, Propellerheads, and Portishead. Regarding his music - experiments in the space between big beat, downtempo, and acid jazz - Yellowhead usually says very little, namely: In live performances, he exploits the image of 'pot music' quite literally, playing with pencils on jars from under grains. Yellowhead's tracks have appeared on various compilations from labels like , , <56 STUFF>, <Эксперимент.ру Records>. In 2003, the project received high praise from Porky - the head of the well-known English label Pork Records.
