AUX88 // Live @ KONTAKTOR

Aux88 are Detroit’s electro and bass-heavy techno pioneers Tom Tom and K-1. The group was originally formed as “RX-7” in 1985, then known with another project as Sight Beyond Sight, before forming AUX 88 in 1993. Aux 88 live performance effect is that of an electrified old school hip hop show. It isn’t accidental. Aux 88 is one of the few who remember that techno has its roots in the hip hop of pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa, Planet Patrol and Newcleus.
Second edition of Kontaktor - Live Elektronik Musik Festival - took place on 31st of May 2019 in Sarkandaugava Industrial Park. The program celebrated forward-pushing live electronic music ranging from left-field techno, seminal electro, to nonconformist industrial, bizarre noise, adventurous dance music and everything in between. The second edition aimed to bring together music and artists both global stars and boldest local talents that we believe have unique, performative and at times playful contribution to the current environment of the electronic dance music scene that we feel is upon a shift in both the way we create and perceive. We presented music that can and should not only be listened or danced to but rather experienced and participated within to create an adventure of utopian enjoyment and remind our audience the meaning and excitement of rave culture. The event was created and produced by Erica Synths.

Very cool space, one of the best I have seen. This set captures the spirit of the first DEMF in 2000 in the underground stage. and the people look alive! Awesome to see these guys keeping techno real. And thanks to Erica for doing this. I found out about the the Zen delay and I found this show. That little box looks very cool as a dj tool. Keep it up!
