2016 is not over yet! It was an eventful year for many – ahem, not always positive – reasons, but here’s something you can rejoice about: more time to celebrate 10 years of Boring Machines, each time in a different town. Next stop after Roma (Dal Verme), S.Martino Spino (Musica nelle Valli Festival) and Berlin (West Germany, supported by Occulto) will be Milano, on 19th and 20th. The lineup is, well, amazing, click on the names if you don’t know them yet, they’re all worth it. I am preparing a heavy suprise bag for the occasion as I will spin some records on the second evening. Join!

Interkosmos Fest

When: 1 October 2016

facebook.com/events/271328119902575
On the occasion of their first festival, Occulto collaborates with Interkosmos by curating part of the program: we’ll present a liveset by Caudal (in their Caudalito version, guitar and drums only) and a dj set by Nana Bianca. Caudal is a Berlin-based ‘trancepunk’ trio made up of Aidan Baker (guitar), Gareth Sweeney (bass) on bass, & Felipe Salazar (drums). Baker’s multi-layered, heavily affected guitar overlays Sweeney and Salazar’s driving, propulsive rhythm section creating music equally influenced by krautrock, post-punk, and spacerock.
LIVE: The Underground Youth (Uk), Throw down bones (IT), Electric Eye (NO), Caudal (Aidan Baker & Felipe Salazar), Full Moon Fiasco (NZ), Wichswut (DE)
DJ: The KVB, Nana Bianca (Occulto)
VISUALS: Oscar Valentine (8MM Bar)
doors 17:30 pm, show starts 18.30 pm
