CMYK (= Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key) steht für ein subtraktives Farbmodell, das eine wunderbar breite Farbpalette von satten 16,9 Millionen Farben möglich macht. Und weil es den Herren Cyan, Magenta, Yellow und Key nun zu langweilig ist, ständig nur auf Drucksorten aufzuscheinen, machen sie nun selbst Druck auf die Wiener Partylandschaft und ab Mai regelmäßig den Club Pompadour.
Das die werten Herren für Vielfalt stehen macht sich auch in diesem Zusammenhang bemerkbar: Die Palette deckt von Minimal und Techno bis zu Electro und House alle Farbnuancen der zeitgenössischen Tanzmusik ab. Für die richtige Mischung sorgen die Resident-DJs Thomas Grün und Philipp Blecha, satte Töne werden regelmäßig von nationalen und internationalen Druckmachern beigemischt.
Den Beginn macht am 16. Mai im Wiener Roxy Funk D' Void, der extra aus Barcelona eingeflogen wird und dem grauen Wien einen Klecks Südseefarbe verleiht. Support gibt es außerdem von einem der buntesten Vögeln der Stadt, dem Safari-Papagei himself: DJ Defex.
Fühlt euch herzlich eingeladen, diesem Farbspektakel beizuwohnen – egal ob blond, braun, schwarz oder rot, an der richtigen Mischung seid ihr alle beteiligt.
Bio
Funk D’Void
I am Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk/I have always been devoid of funk/I shall continue
to be devoid of funk," sang Parliament main man George Clinton on 1977's
seminal 'Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome'. An album with a wild
concept, it tells the LSD-inspired story of the conflict between the not-muchfun
Sir D'Voidoffunk and his laugh-a-minute nemesis Starchild (aka Clinton,
who eventually triumphs in getting the old misery guts to feel that funk and
shake his booty).
It's no coincidence that Lars Sandberg has flipped Sir Nose's handle around
for his Funk D'Void alias, because he's most definitely got the funk. Much in
demand as a DJ around the world, he's a critically acclaimed producer as
well, with three albums to date - '1997's 'Technoir', 2001's 'Dos', and 2003's
'Volume Freak' (all on Soma) - not to mention a string of killer singles and
remixes, plus his more jazzier project as a member of the band Chaser.
His remix work is stellar; New Order, Kraftwerk, Underworld, Laurent Garnier
and Kevin Saunderson have all asked for his unique take on their music, with
a host of others to numerous to mention (check discogs.com for full listing).
Having relocated to Barcelona since 1999, he has found a new base for
inspiration; "It was a case of 'don't think about it, just do it', and I haven't
regretted it," he says of the move. "What are the plus points?" he continues.
"The climate; the beach; palm tree; bars; clubs; architecture; girls in the
summer; tapas; San Miguel on draft; Sonar; siestas; the laid back attitude;
cheaper, bigger apartments; and a hundred parks." Indeed, it seems the only
thing he misses about his home town is the great clubs and cheese & onion
pasties.
Another plus point of Barcelona almost turned out to be a certain type of
gentleman's nightspot. The hot climate inflamed Lars' blood - he almost ended
up opening a lap dancing club. "I investigated it," he says, "but the Spanish
mafia wanted an enormous pay-off, and the whole situation was becoming
really seedy. I was going to call it 'Flaps In Your Lap'."
Spanish lap dancing's loss is your gain., Funk D'Void has proven to be a
consistent player in today's club scene and never fails to deliver powerful,
emotional sessions wherever he plays. Having started Djing since 1986
(Scottish DMC finalist 2 years in a row) he shows no sign of slowing down,
showing a hunger for music and interaction with international clubbing crowds
that is unparalleled.
His recent collaborations with artists like Alexander Kowalski, Phil Kieran and
Ken Ishii have seen him venture into a more edgy, raw clubbier feel and this
has translated into his sets of late. His new LP "Second Skin" promises a new
arena for Lars to showcase his talents as he is constantly looking for new
sounds and inspiration - whilst never losing that visceral, emotional core to his
music and performances.
Funk D'Void is going to make you freak.
