Balance Club Culture Festival
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2020
Balance Club / Culture Festival
Balance Club / Culture Festival sees itself as an interface between club culture and social critique. Club evenings, performances, concerts, workshops, discussions and installations together form a programme that reframes norms, makes identities fragile and sharpens discourse. Balance is feminist, performative and hybrid. Balance invites for experiencing ecstasy as much as critical contemplation, letting go as well as establishing new alliances.

Balance Club/Culture Festival: Is modern electronic music a sellout?
Is modern electronic music a sellout? The genre's inability to face the truth
By Whitney Wei and Yi Li
Commissioned by Balance Club/Culture Festival 2024
Opening
Techno has not been underground for a long time now. However, the recent developments after the pandemic have shaken the subcultural agents of the scene even harder than before. TikTok Raves have become a trend, dance moves are being taught by self-proclaimed “techno warriors” in short clips, the music of choice by young ravers are beats that follow the same simple pattern. At the same time, more and more clubs are closing due to financial and political tensions. Progressive Club Culture and its spaces have changed drastically during the past years. How do these changes influence communities? What does the TikTok hype do to the ideas of counterculture? What happens to concepts of Awareness and sensitivity towards discrimination if club culture is overly commercialized or spaces are shut down completely? Can queer people and BIPoCs find safer spaces within these developments? And how can raving still be progressive and a place for counter cultural resistance?

Dopplereffekt is on another level
One of the coolest people ever I’d sell a kidney to meet them I WOULD SELL MY 2 KIDNEY’S AND BE KIDNEYLESS TO MEET DORIAN 😭
Gerald rules! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What's the synth at 29:33?
Probably a Korg triton - triton le perhaps
fantastic!
"Feels" fully underrates the content, I thought i was on some milenial-mess of a page. Dopplereffekt transcending the banal.
Only "millennials" call music "content"
Nobody can beat this....
I like so much Greed from Schangri-lies. And the Mix is very well!💛
Favourite artist of the last year! Great set as always. ❤ from Ireland

Haha .. was geht denn hier ab? Noch nie so viel müll auf einen haufen geknallt gesehen. Soziologie/psychologie/philosophie studium auf abwegen, gehen an der uni die schwachsinnigen themen aus? Wo sind die beats? Es fehlt ein distortion effekt auf der stimme, und was soll dieser lullaby-style auf 60bpm?
