your:fault w/ Raresh [a:rpia:r] / 9 July / 18.00 – 02.00 / Skyroom / Thessaloniki, GR

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

default is a point of intersection. A place coupling different currents of contemporary urban culture where young artists interact, exchange ideas and participate in an interactive experiment through the presentation of their work. Architecture, music, animation, photography and graphic design, coexist in space and time, creating a series of independent ‘episodes’.

default starts a new series of exclusively audio episodes entitled ”your:fault” which will be pre-showcases of it’s main events.

The first your:fault will be held in Thessaloniki on Thursday, July 9, with a special guest from Bucharest, Raresh [a:rpia:r]. Alongside him will perform: Karreta (division, complex.) and the residents dj’s of default (Bu$$, i: Diom, Mackenzie)

Raresh (RO) // [a:rpia:r]

One of Romania’s top electronic ambassadors, Raresh is the kind of dj that never plays the same kind of music. Hundreds of parties, his passion for the mixer and his hunger for old and new helped him gain respect from an early age.

He’s been involved with like-minded citizens Pedro and Rhadoo for quite a while now, rocking the floors and releasing quality underground grooves on their [a:rpia:r] imprint. As this was not enough, he also has sonic plans involving Praslea in a project simply named Praslesh. And, that’s not all! His Metereze label is set to release the finest house found in these lands and the 5 releases so far prove it.

The main goal is to introduce a specific type of culture to the public and create a unique annual festival in Thessaloniki. Street art belongs to the urban environment and this festival is our way of showing it and familiarize the public with it. Top domestic as well as foreign professional artists will do what they do best for two whole days to show everyone the common forms of modern street art, to show everyone what street art is all about. Street art is a form of art widely spread across the world with fans and artists increasing rapidly year after year. We believe it is time for our city to show that it has a part in the street art scene! Music concerts, graffiti, skate shows, street dance, dance shows.

All together creating an interaction between arts, two colourful days in the centre of the city, in a place full of young artists and people. A view to the contemporary art through the eyes of the unique creativity of each street artist participating. The personal inspiration of each creator as a perspective, the gift of spontaneity and youthful creativity. That’s  Street Art Festival Thessaloniki, that’s who we all the young people are.

Monophonics @ Block 33 | 01.07.15

U got some psychedelic funk?
U wanna dance with psychedelic soul?
need shoes and good vibes?

Monophonics are hiiting back with ”Bang Bang’ , ”Strange Love” , ”Promises” and many many more…

Love Light Productions proudly presents Monophonics (USA)

“One of the best live soul bands I have ever seen!” – Al Bell (Record producer, songwriter, executive, and co-owner of legendary Stax Records)

Raised amid the rich musical culture and history of the San Francisco Bay Area, Monophonics proudly carry the torch through the generations into today’s musical landscape. Holding on to tradition, but by no means purists of any kind, they play their own brand of music known as “Psychedelic Soul.”

The 2012 release of Monophonics last album In Your Brain saw the band pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and the The Temptation’s Norman Whitfield produced records. With the new album, Sound of Sinning (April 1, 2015 on Transistor Sound Records), the band has grown in all areas of record making and felt a need to explore other important influences. While the group has come to cherish these inspirations, with Sound of Sinning they started venturing beyond, to the groups that were inspiring those soul acts to embrace the psychedelic sound of the 60’s and 70’s. Bands such as The Zombies, The Beatles, Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Even with the experimentation of new musical territory, they display the sound that people know and love about Monophonics. Touching on Northern soul, doo-wop, rock and roll, Psych pop, and cinematic music, Monophonics show off their diversity while remaining true to their roots. Overall it’s heartfelt music and old school vibes, without losing sight of the present. This is music steeped in that timeless feeling when people could write and produce songs that you could listen to over and over again. Sound of Sinning was produced by Kelly Finnigan & Ian McDonald and recorded on an old Tascam eight-track 1/4” tape machine at Transistor Sound Studios in San Rafael, CA.

Monophonics is Austin Bohlman (Drums), Myles O’Mahony (Bass/Background Vocals), Ian McDonald (Guitar/Background Vocals), Ryan Scott (Trumpet/Back- ground Vocals/Percussion) & Kelly Finnigan (Keys/Lead Vocals) along with a rotating 2nd horn usually filled by Nadav Nirenberg (Trombone) from Ikebe Shakedown and Breakdown Brass.

DUB INC @ Mylos Open-air | 20.06.15

Originally from Saint-Etienne in France’s industrial heartland, Dub Inc fuse classic roots reggae with dub, dancehall, ska, hip-hop and African influences. They create an intoxicating musical hybrid with highly charged and socially conscious songs which have earned them cult status in their native France.

Their wild, high-octane live performances led to an ever expanding and loyal fan base. With a fierce independent spirit and away from the media spotlight, Dub Inc have become the most successful reggae band playing in Europe today, and are now a fixture at major festivals across the world, having already appeared at Paleo, Francofolies, WOMAD and headlined Rototom Sunsplash or Summerjam.

Charismatic lead singers Hakim “Bouchkour” Meridja and Aurelien “Komlan” Zohou sing in English, French and Kabyle (a Berber language native to Algeria). Backed by deep rolling bass (Moritz Von Korff), keyboards (Frédéric Peyron and Idir Derdiche), guitar (Jérémie Grégeois) and drums (Grégory “Zigo” Mavridorakis), Bouchkour and Komlan convey strong positive messages through their striking vocals creating music with a truly universal appeal.

Since forming in 1997, Dub Inc have produced five studio albums, two EP’s and a live album. Their new album Paradise (2013, Diversité) perfectly embodies the potent combination of infectious energy, distinctive melody and engaged, combative lyrics.
