Tonight!
Hour 1: Downliners Sekt (?)
"...to be heard the oldschool way you must work hard. Work in a tiny room, a dark basement, one crappy garage, thinking that someday someone will eventually pay attention to your story - and then you have to make a package out of all those precious moments - a price thrown on the front of a jewel fucking case - but you still not sure - because some soulless cynical mind has decided otherwise - so what then, tell us now, what would you have done?... "
“look sport, the next time you decide to cut a record just remember: everything has to pass trough me. I make the hits, not the public. I tell the dj’s what to play”
(from the movie ‘The harder they come’)
"Anonymity is a big deal in dance music: sometimes artists don’t want to deal with expectations, preconceived notions, or simply would rather keep their personal lives separate from their musical lives.
But a group like Downliners Sekt seem to thrive on it: consisting of unknown and inconsistent numbers, refusing to disclose geographical info, their names, or much of anything at all, they carry with them a certain cultish diffidence evoked by their very chosen name, germanic ally-stylized spelling and all. The group make appropriately dark and sometimes claustrophobic music, a mercurial history traceable through their releases: the abrasive broken beats of debut album Statement of Purpose sprouted serrated fuzz for the post-rock influenced Saltire Wave, both albums full of sometimes unfriendly – and always distorted – beats and grooves. But when the group shed its excess and stripped itself down to a duo, so the guitars melted away and their energy channeled into slamming hunks of twisted metal that don’t so much hint at industrial music as melt down and remould it to fit a slightly dubstep-informed template."
