alone live in paris and brussels

two european live dates for alone: paris oct 4 and brussels oct 6. both are conceived as a great never-wave electronica events. details follow below.

Disco Kaos is proud to present its autumnal program, carefully chosen to go with the fall of the leaves and the first waves of cold rain.
For your comfort and your pleasure, this october evening will take place in a small dark cellar and will be driven by three solitary electronic projects.
As autumn always turns our eyes to the East, it will be the appropriate time to listen to one of the most creative artists from underground Serbia and one of our favorite contemporary new wave artist: ALONE. A lot of emotions and surprises are to be awaited from his synth modules, samplers and his very particular voice. Don't be ashamed to dance while crying.
Also, to open the bal, we will have the company of two neighbourhood's musicians who like to dance in the thrash cans of cold wave and minimal electro: for this special event, AME DE BOUE and FROE CHAR will try to match there synths like balkan violins and make everyone cry while dancing. For bitter hearts only.

ALONE
(Echoplay, Treue um Treue, Nacionalna Asocijacija za Umetnost i Kulturu, 0.5, ...)
Hi-tech electronika, cold wave tunes and futuristic landscapes. Solo project from Nikola Vitkovic (Illegalne Emocije, Alone in heaven, Magma trakt..) from Belgrade / Serbia.

#8 electropunk

each music genre requires a specific type of sound. synthesizers can produce much more and different sounds than a professional musician would ever need. so let's let the synths scream and squelch outside the range of mediocre sounds! perhaps punk and dilettantism added more innovation to the development of electronic music than kling klang studio produktion? let's see...

[mixes #1 - #72 have been previously broadcasted on radio elektrana.]

patinirana depresija

breaking the inner sphere of apathy, we enter the hidden core of sublime joy in seclusion and passiveness, and we just ambivalently observe the stale air, the dust, the patina, the moss...

flexipunk serves you apathy in finest musical textures. for admirers of tarkovsky, lopushansky, béla tarr and 'every day god kisses us on the mouth' by sinişa dragin.

oh, what fun shall we have...

flexipunk is a music show started by nitkov on radio elektrana in 2009. it covers widest circles around new wave and [post] industrial genres, from gloomy minimal low fi electronics, to advanced hi tec pop. flexipunk is neither trendy, nostalgic nor ironic, but pays an honest tribute to the timeless music, angst, melancholia and daydreaming. each show focuses on a specific style or theme [i despise eclectic mash ups].

flexipunk aired 70+ shows before radio elektrana went on an indefinite hiatus in summer 2011. now, flexipunk lives again, multiplying it's tentacles like a virtual hydra! here's the schedule:

nofm - every second thursday 18:00-20:00h

radio net1zen - tuesday 20:00 - 21:00h

hypnagothique - occasionally, only 'dark' mixes published as podcasts on mondays 21:00h

[central european time]

one more thing: i usually don't post tracklists because they take away the element of surprise from the mix. but if you want to see some tracklist or identify a song / artist, just contact me at flexipunk at gmail dot com.
