DENOVALI SWINGFEST LONDON 2014 - DETAILED LINEUP

FRIDAY - APRIL 18th 2014 - VILLAGE UNDERGROUND

Porter Ricks (GER)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/porterricks.jpg ]

::: Sound project and live performance by German producers Thomas Köner & Andy Mellwig. The name Porter Ricks is based on character from the TV series "Flipper". "The nautical view evokes a clear vision, something freeing. The club as a diving platform, and techno as a nautical sound experience, a project that lies between clubs and art."
::: "Many of these ideas have permeated so deeply into the culture that it's hard to remember a time without them, but we wouldn't have Burial, to name just one of the duo's distant descendants, without Porter Ricks' seafloor crackle and mottled-granite color scale." Pitchfork (8.5/ 10)
::: listen: [ www.soundcloud.com/_type/sets/porter-ricks-biokinetics ]

The Haxan Cloak (UK)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/haxan.jpg ]

::: „Excavation gains power from gathering a little dust for a while, becoming a dark treat to occasionally sink into. It's not a place in which to seek refuge from life's ills, but rather one in which you can satisfy a perverse need to draw them in closer.“ (Pitchfork)
::: listen: [ www.soundcloud.com/tri_angle_records/the-haxan-cloak-the-mirror ]

Anna von Hausswolff (SWE)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/anna.jpg ]

::: "It feels big, the way the Cure's "Plainsong" or Zola Jesus' Conatus felt." (Pitchfork)
::: listen: [ www.annavonhausswolff.com ]

Hidden Orchestra (UK) + Lumen (UK) (special AV concert)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/berlin/pics/hidden.jpg ]

::: special AV concert with a video installation by Lumen
::: cinematic soundscapes with a big sound and wonderful string arrangements; 2 drummers + piano + bass + violin
::: listen: [ www.denovali.com/hiddenorchestra ]

Ulrich Schnauss + Nat Urazmetova (UK)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/schnauss.jpg ]

::: listen: [ www.soundcloud.com/ulrich-schnauss ]

Witxes (FRA)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/witxes.jpg ]

::: Roaming, roving and raving were giving birth to melodic spaces fed on colourful sound layers, shimmering textures and residual traces of sonic instants
::: listen: [ www.denovali.com/witxes ]

John Lemke (GER)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/berlin/pics/lemke.jpg ]

::: Using all kinds of interesting methods of sound design, Lemke fused a myriad of ideas and atmospheres into a unique whole that is stimulating, elegant, and edgy just in the right places. (...) This is refreshing music. One of the very best of 2013, no doubt. (Igloomag)
::: listen: [ www.denovali.com/johnlemke ]

Origamibiro (UK)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/berlin/pics/origami.jpg ]

::: listen: [ www.denovali.com/origamibiro ]

Petrels (UK)

[ www.denovali.com/swingfest/london/pics/petrels.jpg ]

::: "A swirling cataract of a record, a deluge of beautiful noise and crushing melody, which ebbs and flows beneath the surface."
