Line up for 09.26.13 @ King King
TIGERCIDE conjures up modern electronica with a southern California style. Influences include Fever Ray and Beats Antique, Mt Eden and Massive Attack. Tigercide debuted at SXSW 2012 and has since performed at The Echo and Echoplex, King King, House of Blues and more. Tigericde supports the WWF campaign that sets out to save wild tigers from extinction.
Veterans of Future Wars is a four piece band that is becoming a fast favorite of ours. Their sound reminds us of the experimental vibes of Broadcast (yes, the band from the UK), the drum aesthetic of Max Weinberg meets Aphex Twin, and Donald Byrd-esque horn section stabs and holds (peppered in here and there). Lately their sound has had lots of wobbly basslines and soundtracky synthy goodness.
Since the age of ten, DJ Audioptic has been mixing and cutting records on turntables -- in his room, at house parties and as he got older, at the club -- living for scratching and destroying the common perception of what a DJ was supposed to look and sound like.
Grandmaster Flash and Dj Jazzy Jeff--to name a few--were Audioptic's musical muses in the 1980s, with Hip-Hop dominating his airwaves. In the mid-1990s he was introduced to Portishead and the Trip-Hop movement, a sound that expanded his musical awareness.
Since then, Audioptic takes inspiration from everything from Public Enemy's Bombsquad to the musical conglomerate known as Massive Attack.
DJ Audioptic has been a resident DJ for the Tripnotic live events and our Podcasts since their inception.
Born and raised in Moscow, Russia, as the daughter of an award winning Jazz musician, Kristina has always had an appreciation for the "stranger" music.
After moving to the US at 18, she was exposed to the world of electronica. While living in Washington DC, she learned of DJs and producers then frequented their parties. Every weekend at Buzz Nation, Kristina was one of the kids dancing maniacally, like it would change the world.
She knew music was her calling then, watching the crowds entranced by the conductor with two needles, all speaking the universal language of music in unison... to Kristina there was no other feeling quite like it.
Having moved around the US, Kristina picked up on many different genres, ultimately realizing that Minimal is her musical passion. Influenced by producers such as Trentemoeller, Lulu Rouge, Kollektiv Turmstrasse etc, Kristina is on a one woman crusade to spread her love of Minimal.
Esoteric frequencies, powerful lyrics, eerie dub, sex, chaos, cacophony; that's Kristina Kova's musical state of mind.
