fraction no.5 / private & open air II

FR05_A6_Web
We are still full of good memories about the last little outdoor session in september 2013. And since it’s been a year already, and so many people told us how awesome it was, we thougt “hey, lets just do it again”.

So here we are: still small, still private, still lovely & cozy. But with a new and fresh line­up. Delivering you the best on beats and rhythms from hip hop over roots reggae to dub-techno and, of course, some decent dubstep. We start at 14:00 in the afternoon, so come early and stay late!

Well known, almost veteran, Dj Ham­E from the former legendary PLLB (Profi Liga Linsenbühl) Crew, starts the session with Hip Hop like we used to know it and are still in love with. Then Kephas Selecta and Don Pedro take over for some education in pure and original roots music. Very experienced sound man on the controls – watch and learn about music and passion.

After getting into mood trough listening to our all roots, hip hop and dub/reggae, we take a closer look where this influence leads us today. Comfort noise ploy shows us the deeps of electronic dub techno while paying tribute to art of dub through expanding the sound live with traditional efx-­units and vocal experimentation. Vibe trough dawn till dark, when the mystical Tengus climb down their trees to deliver the martial art of dread mountain bass.

The grill will be there again. Bring your own food and drinks, take a swim, or just meet old friends – But vibe to the sound. There is limited space – so grab an invitation up front. To do this just write us an e­mail with your first and last name and address and we will contact you.

We are looking forward to it – we hope you do to!

fraction No.4 “Small but big”

Fraction4-Flyer-a6_web_390 fraction no.4 „Small but big“

With Kolt & Slass (Unreleased Kollektiv), C4TR (Steppas Choice), Taiken & Flexible (Tengu Collective)

„Founded in early 2007, the aim of the Unreleased Kollektiv is to be a platform that gives new opportunities towards different styles of electronic music. As the fountain of Marcel Duchamp and his art’s theory does, these pieces of sound are dropped here not because they are actually an artistic work by themselves, but they are only proposed to be recognized as being a work of art. At the end you are the one and the only one who can decide.

Releasing mixes, tracks and albums to feeds your soul, the kollektiv will explore the minimal music, as well as dubstep and any kind of decent bass music, but also on weirder stuff such as ambient and noise atmospheres. All of them are oriented towards new feelings with the help of any kind of sound. You’re welcome to spread the sounds you liked.

C4TR is mainly known as the man behind Steppas Choice. THE foundational Swiss radio show where everyone who claims himself a Swiss bass music defender must have played. Running for over 6 years, every Monday evening from 8 till 10pm, the show is not just a quality source for fresh and upcoming releases but also a platform to hear the local dubstep culture in full effect.

We are pleased to have Kolt and Slass, as well as C4TR over for a decent session of quality bass driven music. All three are steppers since day dot in Switzerland and contributed much energy in the genre we know today as dubstep. In other words these men are some of the few dubstep pioneers we have in our country.

Alongside Taiken and Flexible from the Tengu Collective and of course the sonic power of the Tengu Soundsystem we are sure to have a small but big party together!“

And we did! :-)
