Looking back on 2019 I decided to list a handful of political / alternative news websites rather than films, albums or books. In the UK the corporate media stooped to shocking new lows during our recent General Election campaign. Such dirty tactics are to be expected of conglomerates owned by the likes of Rupert Murdoch and his fellow right wing billionaires but this time around, previously ‘liberal’ outlets such as the BBC and Guardian also fully participated in the outrageous lies, smears and character assassination against the leader of the opposition Labour Party. The British population were now being forced fed the Establishment’s propaganda du jour from every possible direction. Personally I try to gather my information from as many alternative outlets as possible to contrast with the 24 hour corporate brainwashing we’re subjected to these days. I’ve listed just five sites from the dozens I regularly visit and although I certainly don’t agree with everything expressed on these sites I do feel that it essential that in supposed free and democratic societies we are at least exposed to a variety of viewpoints and opinions - rather than being trapped inside social media echo chambers in an Internet that is increasingly controlled and censored by sophisticated algorithms and where politically correct digital lynch mobs accuse anyone with an opinion that contradicts the official narrative of being a Russian agent! Anyway, a Happy New Year to you all and here’s hoping 2020 sets the new decade off in roaring style!

Weasel Walter
Composer/performer / label head https://weaselwalter.bandcamp.com/
2019 was far from my favorite year. Regardless, I managed to release not one, but two new double albums by The Flying Luttenbachers (as well as two European tours with the unit) in addition to the usual slew of improvised music gigs and releases, and co-ordinating and producing an archival release of vintage NYC weirdness (Ozone). I also rocked Mexico City with Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, played a ridiculous gig with Encenathrakh, and disbanded Cellular Chaos (for now, at least).
When I become obsessed (or re-obsessed with something), it usually leads to a ton of proselytizing Facebook status posts. Combing my 2019 posts, it seems that my musical obsessions this year weren't very highbrow. Ha ha ha. Yes, I'm super into Xenakis, Cecil Taylor and whatever else, but dumber music can supply great creature comfort, and I guess I needed that in large amounts, so that's what it was. Sometimes badass modernists have to take time out to stay in bed all day and read comics because it's a hard cold world out there.
Weasel Walter top 10 musical obsessions of 2019 1. Kid Creole and the Coconuts (1980-1985 era) 2. Redd Kross 3. The Saints "I'm Stranded" 4. Jane Aire and the Belvederes 5. Miles Davis 1972-1975 6. Khanate "Things Viral 7. Mandy Zone & Ozone "Live at Max's Kansas City 1981" 8. Mayhem "Grand Declaration of War" 9. Comedy Bang Bang Episode #554 w/ Middleditch, Sanz 10. Weezer "Pinkerton"

21 - 23/9 Nextech a Firenze. Techno & dintorni con Adam Beyer, Alva Noto, Ralf, Sam Paganini (...)
L'anteprima nazionale del nuovo progetto di Alva Noto a La Compagnia, la ricerca “storica” del dancefloor al Viper Theatre con Ralf ed infine la Drumcode night alla Fortezza Da Basso, capitanata da Adam Beyer. Sono queste le tre anime dell'undicesima edizione di Nextech, festival di musica elettronica fra i più longevi in Italia, che quest'anno si svolgerà dal 21 al 23 settembre (Firenze, La Compagnia / Viper Theatre / Fortezza Da Basso / Move On).
21 - 23/9 Nextech a Firenze
LOCATION La Compagnia / Viper Theatre / Fortezza Da Basso / Move on prevendite: Box Office, Tinì www.nextechfestival.com
DJS Adam Beyer, Alva Noto, Gea Brown, Layton Giordani, Nick Anthony Simoncino, Ralf, Sam Paganini, Wooden Crate
La serata di giovedì 21 vede il debutto del festival in una nuova location: La Compagnia. Lo spazio, riaperto lo scorso anno grazie alla Regione Toscana, adesso è la casa del documentario e dei festival di cinema fiorentini. La sua tecnologia e la sua versatilità d'uso gli consentono di ospitare anche eventi e performance musicali, tra questi il nuovo progetto UNIEQAV (beta), che Alva Noto presenterà in occasione di Nextech Festival in anteprima nazionale. Carsten Nicolai, questo il nome all'anagrafe dell'artista, fa parte di una generazione di artisti che lavora intensamente in una zona di transizione tra arte e scienza. Dopo la sua partecipazione a importanti mostre internazionali come "Documenta X" e la 49° e 50° Biennale di Arti Visive di Venezia, le opere di Nicolai sono state presentate in due mostre personali alla Kunsthalle di Francoforte e alla Neue Nationalgalerie di Berlino nel 2005. Le sue performance sono giunte nei centri d’arte più importanti del mondo, dal Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum di New York, al Moma di San Francisco, al Centre Pompidou di Parigi, fino alla Kunsthaus di Graz e alla Tate Modern di Londra. Fra i suoi tanti progetti, tra cui la fondazione dell'etichetta Raster-Noton che in 18 anni si è imposta come una delle realtà più innovative e influenti nel panorama della musica elettronica sperimentale, le collaborazioni in progetti discografici, performativi e installativi con nomi del calibro di Blixa Bargeld, Michael Nyman, Mika Vainio, Thomas Knak e Ryuichi Sakamoto. Insieme a quest'ultimo ha composto la colonna sonora per “Revenant - Redivivo��, il film di Alejandro González Iñárritu uscito nel 2015. La pellicola, premiata agli Oscar nelle categorie Miglior regia, Miglior attore protagonista e Miglior fotografia, ha ricevuto anche 3 nomination come Migliore colonna sonora ai Golden Globe, ai BAFTA e ai Critics' Choice Movie Awards. Il live di Alva Noto a Nextech Festival sarà introdotto da Gea Brown, sound artist che traduce la propensione alla ricerca e alla selezione musicale in un personale approccio al djing. Dal 2010 ha creato live set e sonorizzazioni ambientali per designer e artisti che lavorano con danza, teatro, performance e videoarte. Vive e lavora a Prato dove cura progetti legati alla performatività sonora e alle intersezioni tra arte contemporanea e tessile.
Venerdì 22 settembre Nextech Festival si sposta in periferia, e più precisamente al Viper Theatre. Il nome di spicco stavolta è quello di Dj Ralf, al secolo Antonio Ferrari, tra i più conosciuti e apprezzati artisti della house music in ambito internazionale. Dai locali della sua Perugia a New York passando per Ibiza, la capacità di Dj Ralf di adattare una tendenza musicale al suo stile è riconosciuta in tutto il mondo. Dj, produttore, musicista e all'occorrenza giornalista, Ralf è a tutti gli effetti uno dei protagonisti indiscussi del palcoscenico musicale italiano. La sua breve biografia ufficiale parla da sola: “Mancato ballerino di prima fila, faccio ballare la gente da più di trent'anni. E questo è quanto”.
A scaldare la pista del Viper spetterà a Nick Anthony Simoncino: produttore, dj e collezionista di vinile Italiano, da più di undici anni vanta una collezione di oltre 10.000 dischi, principalmente Chicago House, Techno Detroit e Garage 80′s. Le sue produzioni sono state remixate da vere e proprie leggende come Larry Heard, Chez Damier, Virgo Four, Ron Trent, Gene Hunt e Dream 2 Science. Ha suonato e suona regolarmente nei migliori club di tutto il mondo come Panorama Bar, Rex, Fabric, Arma 17, Watergate e molti molti altri.
Venerdì 22 settembre è anche il giorno in cui Nextech Festival debutta con un nuovo format grazie alla collaborazione con Molinari. Alle 19:30 al negozio di dischi Move On si terrà una lecture curata dal giornalista Damir Ivic che vedrà come ospite uno dei protagonisti della serata al Viper, ovvero il sopracitato Ralf.
Un'iniziativa, a nome #ExtraContent, nata per conoscere gli artisti più da vicino. Scoprirne passioni, segreti, aneddoti, ricordi, idiosincrasie, sogni. Andare al di là della dimensione della performance cercando anche il dietro le quinte, il tocco umano, lo “storytelling” più intimo ed emotivo. Un tocco in più per arricchire il festival che vuole dare, al cento per cento, una prospettiva incisiva e approfondita sulla creatività più avanzata.
Nel giorno successivo le lecture di Molinari avranno il piacere di ospitare Sam Paganini, uno dei nomi di punta della serata conclusiva di Nextech (l'ingresso agli incontri è gratuito).
Sabato 23 gran finale in Fortezza da Basso, con una vera e propria maratona techno targata Drumcode, l'etichetta del producer svedese Adam Beyer, tra i nomi di punta di questa undicesima edizione di Nextech Festival. Beyer è riuscito a costruire una delle più consistenti e solide eredità nel mondo techno; dai main stage dei più quotati festival, ai club, fino alle classifiche di Beatport, la musica di Beyer è protagonista a tutto tondo. Alla fine del 2016 Adam si rivela molto positivo: “Questo è uno dei periodi più eccitanti che abbia mai vissuto – finalmente sono riuscito ad arrivare dove volevo. Essendo un dj techno so bene che questo non poteva avvenire dal giorno alla notte; arrivare al punto di ottenere fedeltà dell'industria discografica e dei fan è stata davvero una lunga strada”.
Parte fondamentale della carriera di Adam Beyer è certamente il marchio che ha reso la techno davvero globale: celebrato il 20esimo anniversario lo scorso anno, Drumcode non è soltanto una etichetta che produce dj di successo ma anche e soprattutto un brand, una identità musicale, nonché punto di riferimento nella scena elettronica. Proprio attraverso Drumcode, Beyer riesce a scovare nuovi talenti ed al tempo stesso espandersi in giro per il mondo grazie alle serate brandizzate ed all'omonimo show trasmesso in ben 53 differenti paesi. Il suo sound è stato spesso imitato, la sua resistenza più volte testata dal cambiamento del mercato musicale, ma la Drumcode ha dato prova di essere sempre più forte, un brand ai vertici divenuto fucina di idee.
Adam Beyer si è approcciato a questo 2017 con la seconda edizione di un nuovo progetto, il Junction 2 Festival di Londra, unito alle consuete notti estive ad Ibiza e alla partecipazione ad altri maggiori festival internazionali e non, come la sua attesissima
performance a Nextech festival. In ordine alfabetico, sempre nella serata di sabato, troviamo Layton Giordani. Nato a New York, classe 1992, Layton ha concentrato tutti i suoi sforzi unicamente sulla musica elettronica e prima ancora di aver compiuto 22 anni, aveva già suonato nei migliori club di New York come il Pacha, il Cielo, lo Space. La sua prima release su Phobiq Records, “Careless Suggenstions” ha letteralmente lasciato tutto il mondo dell'elettronica senza parole; Deadmau5 l'ha suonata dal main stage dell'Ultra Music festival, Carl Cox l'ha usata per il suo mix radio per la BBC, e l'album è rimasto nella Top 100 Techno di Beatport per quasi sei mesi. Nel 2016 è entrato a pieno diritto nel prestigioso roster Drumcode. Alla lettera S troviamo il già sopracitato Sam Paganini: l'unico artista Italiano con release a proprio nome su 3 etichette del calibro di Plus8, Cocoon e Drumcode. Dal 1996, anno in cui "Zoe" pubblicata con lo pseudonimo di Paganini Traxx è diventata una hit nei dancefloor di mezzo mondo, la ricerca musicale di Sam non si è mai arrestata e lo ha portato a collaborare e rilasciare le sue tracce su svariate etichette discografiche fino a ricevere la fiducia di un pioniere come Richie Hawtin, il quale ha firmato "Cobra EP" per la sua leggendaria label Plus8 nel 2011. Pochi fortunati artisti possono vantare nel proprio percorso musicale un disco “manifesto”, potente da superare i confini di genere e dilagare nel mainstream arrivando ai cori da stadio. Tratta dal fortunato album “Satellite” pubblicato su Drumcode nel settembre 2014, “Rave” è diventata un vero classico. Nr.1 in Beatport Techno per oltre 2 mesi, più di un anno e mezzo in chart e oltre 6 milioni di click su youtube (traccia techno più cliccata di sempre). Alla lettera W coloro che si qualificano a pieno diritto come i dj resident di Nextech Festival, ovvero i Wooden Crate. Il duo, formato da Davide Rosafio e Giuseppe Gonzalez, è nato sei anni fa nella scena musicale fiorentina. Negli ultimi due anni sono entrati a far parte di una importante label, la Dirty Session Records di Luca Bear e successivamente hanno iniziato a partecipare ai prestigiosi party ufficiali Cocoon, la storica etichetta di Sven Väth. A loro l'onore di aprire questa prima Drumcode Night al Nextech Festival.

hurting because solas never wanted a body and never wanted to fight "he never wanted a body but she asked him to come", "he wants to give wisdom not orders" but he did it anyway. "i pulled you from the fade you loved and sent you into war. i used your wisdom as a weapon… and it broke you." inquisition forced him to slow down and just be himself. "solas, bright and sad, observes and accepts. spirit self, seeing the soul, solas, but somehow sorrows." lavellan nourished that. seeked out his wisdom. his purpose in the world. never twisted him, loving him as he was. she craddled the part of himself he wants to be in her palms. the part that was beaten and bruised and abused a millennia ago.
