WiseUp! 09/2015 Felix Kubin
Felix Kubin, one half of the Hamburg based futuristic noise band Klangkrieg, lives and works against the rest of the world. His activities comprise Sci-Fi Pop/Noise/animation films/radio plays/experimental broadcasting. As the messenger of exploding lungs he started his label “Gagarin Records” in 1998 and rules the “syndicate of counter-noise” since 1999. His experiences both in electroacoustic music and strange electronic pop (that he followed already in the early 80ies) induced him to launch a vinyl record label for all kinds of Dada-Electronics on the edge of pop and experimental music. »»»»

WiseUp! 06/2015 Rokolectiv Festival – Future Nuggets Label
WiseUp went to Bukarest to attend the Rokolectiv – Festival for electronic music and related arts for its 10th anniversary and the program features an interview with Mihaela Vasile who creates and organizes the festival together with Cosmin Tapu. I used the time to do more interviews with artists and this time you can hear the interview with Bukarest based Ion Dumitrescu who runs this exciting romanian label. But Future Nuggets is also a collective of musicians from Romania and stands for a psychedelic scene, whether fictitious or real, waiting to be discovered. You will find out about wedding music from egypt and romania – like manele, proto-manele, the music of the albatros generation and other psychedelic sounds. »»»»
