Danger

Programmation

• Danger (Ekler’o’Shock / Lyon – France) Live
  Danger met à l’épreuve ses talents d’illustrateur et de producteur musical au sein d’un univers artistique scénarisé référencés par les codes culturels de la génération geek et des normes de la société de consommation des 90’s. Il est plébiscité pour ses lives musicaux et visuels aux quatre coins du monde !

• Fulgeance (Musique Large / Paris – France) Live
  Jeune virtuose de la MPC, Fulgeance décape son public à coup de beats synthétiques. Salué par la critique comme l’un des producteurs français à suivre, il viendra défendre son dernier EP Low Club sorti le 13 novembre dernier.

• Drums of Death (Greco-Roman / Londres – Royaume-Uni) Live
  Ovni de la scène électronique londonienne, Drums of Death joue un live déjanté où la voix trafiquée vient se mêler à des productions grime et technoïde. Il a accompagné la tournée de Hot Chip aux USA en septembre dernier… Cet artiste au passé de raver, fait partie de la clique du label Greco-Roman qui bouscule les codes de la culture club Outre-Manche.

• Warm up by DJ Putacrack (mash up et musique de la rue)

• Ending by Napalm Pims (des tubes mixés au napalm)

I have come across an El Pais newspaper special supplement on night clubbing in Spain (Guía De La Noche – extraíble). Included was a top ten list (‘Top’ 10 De Los Mejores Clubes) covering the whole of Spain in which two Madrid nightclubs were featured – Danzoo @ Macumba and Deep. There are a lot of posters for Danzoo plastered over walls and lampposts down in the Chueca and Malasaña zones and Madrid-Uno was pleased to see that Richie Hawtin has been gigging there recently – an old-school fave from the Detroit minimal techno years – LOVE IT! Deep is a night rather than a club and is now resident at Changó, a converted theatre with the old stage still intact and used by the show-offs. Quality house music led by the two resident DJs José Luis Magoya and Ángel Molina and sometimes supplemented by the likes of Coxy and Digweed.

Here’s the rest of the Madrid clubs recommended in the supplement:

Sin embargo, Madrid-Uno showed this list to some trendy friends of his who live down in the Tribunal zone and they were fairly dismissive, agreeing only with two; ‘Space of Sound’ (“but only if you’re less than 30 years old” was one comment) and ‘Luke, Soy Tu Padre’. But hey, it’s all subjective right? Having only been here a few months Madrid-Uno is not sure his comments count for too much on the general ’scene’ in Madrid but here are some thoughts. Firstly, folks is friendly. Even with my limited Spanish people are happy to chat and total strangers go out of their way to help. There’s a (wonderful) absence of that London ‘too cool for you’ arrogance and whilst they love to get completely smashed in general the Madrileños rarely fight. Secondly, it’s very retro; an awful lot of post-punk and 1980’s indie / new wave, trannies still consider themselves outrageous, the electro house thing is only just starting and there is no sign of any emo. They’ve only just caught on to the late 1990s South American invention ‘Reggaeton’. House music however is very fresh and the leading Madrid DJs work closely with the world’s best producers. Thirdly, it helps enormously if you know how to dance ‘Latino’ (i.e. salsa, merengue, rumba etc.) because it’s the base of all the pop music you’ll hear. Fourthly, the locals are bionic. These guys have serious stamina and know how to pace themselves. There’s no wimping out at 2.00 am here so be prepared!
