Closing: Krake Festival 2014

Welcome to another great festival deep down!

For 2014 Krake Festival is coming up with a totally new set up. For the main event on saturday Krake Festival cooperates with the Urban Spree Gallery, which area is combined with that of Suicide Circus to offer you a massive festival place to wander around between several floors full with music and arts. A thing like this offered in the centre of the city is extraordinary and will make this year's edition an unforgettable event. For now, here is a rough outline of the festival as a whole. More details to follow. Stay tuned! KRAKE is an annual Berlin based fes­ti­val for chal­leng­ing elec­tronic music. Krake means octo­pus and the fes­ti­val is organ­ised in a com­pa­ra­ble way: reach­ing out to selected loca­tions dur­ing one week pre­sent­ing the best in elec­tronic music, what­ever style it is.  Tick­ets are avail­able online: Killekill​.com www​.killekill​.band​camp​.com Con­tact: +49 30–89759460 Sat­ur­day, Aug 9^th KRAKE FESTIVAL DAY IV: FINAL MAYHEM Sui­cide Cir­cus & Urban Spree Gallery // doors open: 22.00 // cost: 15€ Advance, 18€ Ticket Box The Sat­ur­day night will be a four dimen­sional blast full with great music, out­stand­ing visual art and every­thing that goes in between categories. On the Urban Spree floor we have our very spe­cial of this year’s edi­tion going, the TERMINATOR TOURNAMENT, the robot bat­tle of the cen­tury. Sci­ence fic­tion now! Rag­ing com­bat machines built by low tech robot tin­ker­ers meet in the ulti­mate bat­tle at the fight­ing arena dur­ing the Krake Fes­ti­val. The audi­ence bets which robot will be the last sur­vivor, and which ones will bleed all elec­trons out of their wires. The coolest fight­ing style and the most sophis­ti­cated way of dying are also judged and rewarded by a jury, which is recruited ad hoc at the spot. Come and wit­tness the bomb — astic show! This spec­ta­cle will be accom­pa­nied by the biggest synth nerds Berlin has to offer: The TRANSISTORS OF MERCY will blwo your mind with the meters and meters of synths they will bring to jam on FOR HOURS! The Urban Spree Con­cert Room will be hosted by a new out­stand­ing label from Athens, Modal Analy­sis, pre­sent­ing their label artists YVES DE MEY (part of SENDAI with Peter van Hoe­sen), KONDAKTOR, ANFS and 3.14 along­side a mind-blowing and recently heav­ily acclaimed noise techno act AnD from Manchester. On the Sui­cide Club Floor we present a fine selec­tion in elec­tro. DMX KREW with his hilar­i­ous live show using drum machines, synths and mic shall is a must, OVUCA from Aphex Twin’s label Rephlex and FELIX KUBIN with his dadaist Kraftwerk-influenced elec­tro are as well. Killer! The Sui­cide Open Air Floor shows off with POSITIVE CENTRE with his slowmo dub, PATRIK SKOOG aka AGARIC and RECURSION with their vivid ana­log techno sets, and sev­eral out­stand­ing local djs. Krake Fes­ti­val col­lab­o­rates with Antic Teatre for the third edi­tion of B2B–Barcelona 2 Berlin. An inter­na­tional exchange of elec­tronic music between Barcelona and Berlin set up by Antic Teatre, B2B will have three artists from Barcelona’s elec­tronic music scene. The artists tak­ing part in this 2014 edi­tion – Pina, Spear and Spy Dj – will per­form at the apex of the Fes­ti­val, on Sat­ur­day August 9^th at Sui­cide Cir­cus and Urban Spree Gallery. line up: Urban Spree Gallery Hall: robot wars: TERMINATOR TOURNAMENT Sui­cide Club Floor: DMX KREW (rephlex, breakin) — live OVUCA (rephlex) — live FELIX KUBIN (gagarin records) — live DEAD FADER (small but hard, tiger­beat) — live PINA (lap­sus) — live ALIENATA (kat chan­nel, snuff trax) MISSAW (cen­trifuge) SPY DJ  (elec­tro­club) + more to follow Sui­cide Open Air Floor: POSITIVE CENTRE (Our Cir­cula Sound) GRIZZLY (voodoo rhythm) RECURSION — live RESOM (//about:blank) PATRIK SKOOG aka AGARIC — live DR.NOJOKE (Klangscheiben, Archipel, UNOIKI)- live + more to follow Urban Spree Con­cert Hall: Modal Analy­sis Label Show­case AnD (and, modal analy­sis) — live YVES DE MEY (sendai, modal analy­sis) — live ANFS (modal analy­sis) — live KONDAKTOR (modal analy­sis) 3.14 (modal analysis) Urban Spree Open Air Floor: TRANSISTORS OF MERCY — live GEBRÜDER TEICHMANN — live SARAH FARINA (through my speak­ers) ELISABETH (leaves) + more to follow Urban Spree Base­ment: SPEAR (twd, black hor­i­zont) — live SWARM INTELLIGENCE (Acre Record­ings) OSCAR DRAGON (mød­ule) I.NOMAC (da da revolution) felixku​bin​.com http://​dmxkrew​.com/ Tran­sis­tors of Mercy: http://​www​.youtube​.com/​w​a​t​c​h​?​v​=​T​D​U​C​w​-​I​W​4qU https://​sound​cloud​.com/​m​o​d​a​l​-​a​n​a​l​y​sis http://​www​.anticteatre​.com/​B​2​B​/​2​0​14/
