ALEC EMPIRE 2 MONTHS TOUR STARTS NOW!


watch exclusive trailer here!

Sonic terrorist, Alec Empire, returns for another blistering series of live dates here in the UK that looks set to blow the roof off every venue it invades across the country. ‘1000 Eyes’ is the new download only single taken off the animated short film, ‘The Golden Foretaste of Heaven’. After the critical acclaim of his mini album, ‘Shivers’, earlier this year, Alec channelled his dark energy into creating a brooding, mesmerising soundtrack to the hotly tipped film by Austrian rising star, Richard Wilhelmer.

Fresh off supporting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails on their European leg of the tour, Alec will bring his awesome live setup to the UK showcasing material from a career spanning almost two decades. Always a knack for spotting new talent, Alec has collaborated with Robbie Furze from The Big Pink on the track, ‘If You Live or Die’ off his last album and has produced and written Patrick Wolf’s lead single, ‘Vultures’. Wolf also appeared on stage with Empire during his sold out London date at The Underworld earlier this year and looks certain to join up with his partner in crime for the Islington Academy show in London on November 19.

Having recently remixed IAMX, ex Sneaker Pimp, Chris Corner’s new single ‘Terrified’, the hardest working Berliner in music’s next project is a team up with Major Lazer and Saul Williams for some new tracks and a remix special with Dillinger Escape Plan later this year. As a special treat for UK fans, Alec has roped in up & coming alt techno-core outfit, Motor, who are currently on tour with Dépêche Mode as support for his UK dates. Alec has once again reinvented himself and you can witness the Empire effect first hand this autumn as Nic Endo and him take to a stage near you.

Tresor präsentiert in Zusammenarbeit mit Alec Empire, Think Sync und Shooting People:

"TRANSDUCERS!"


BERLIN - LONDON - WIEN


Europäischer Film trifft auf Elektronische Musik
Am 12. Februar im Tresor! (German version)

Musikproduzent Alec Empire stellt in Zusammenarbeit mit Tresor und der Britischen Firma Think Sync und Shooting People ein besonderes Programm zusammen, um den Europäischen Film zu feiern!

Genauer gesagt geht es nicht nur darum, spannende neue Filme zu präsentieren, die sich jenseits der üblichen Fahrbahn bewegen und dennoch Pop Appeal besitzen, sondern auch die elektronische Musikszene mit der Filmbranche zusammenzubringen.

Alec Empire arbeitet parallel zum üblichen DJ/Produzenten "Tagesgeschäft" mit Film.
(Eine Auswahl ist bei Wikipedia zu finden http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Empire )
In den letzten Monaten schrieb er die Soundtracks für 3 spannende Projekte:

"The Golden Foretaste of Heaven": Der österreichische Regisseur Richard Wilhelmer scharte Schauspieler der jungen Generation (Robert Stadlober und Friederike Kempter in den Hauptrollen) für einen Animation Sci-Fi (,welcher natürlich in einem fiktiven Berlin der Zukunft spielt: Der Klimawandel hat die einst grünste Stadt Europa's zur Plattenbaumetropole in mitten einer Wüste gemacht. Eine wundervolle Parodie auf den gängigen Hollywoodaufguß.) um sich. Im Tresor findet die offizielle Premieren Party mit Screening statt.

"Phantomanie": Regisseur Miron Zownir gelang es den unberechenbaren Kultdarsteller Bruno S, der "Kaspar Hauser" aus Werner Herzog's Filmen, nach 30 Jahren das erste Mal vor die Kamera zu bekommen!

(link zu aktuellen New York Times Artikel über Bruno S. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/25/arts/design/25abroad.html?_r=1)

Dabei ist einer der aussergewöhnlichsten Filme gelungen, die das deutsche Kino so lange vermisst hat! Schauspieler wie George Nickel, Vivien Bullert, Natalia Avelon und Geno Lechner steigen in die Rollen bizarrer Figuren, die sich in der "selbstgezimmerten Hölle der Reichen" voller Paranoia ihre eigene Wirklichkeit stricken. Die Russenmafia, verrückte Sektenführer, Drogen und Waffendealer, alles ist dabei. Zownir schafft es ein Berlin einzufangen, welches Kurzaufenhalt-Regisseure oft verpassen. Großartiges und wahnsinniges Autorenkino! Und am 12. Februar wird es im Tresor mit der offiziellen Premieren Party mit Screening und allem drum und dran gefeiert!

"Chaostage", ein Film von Regisseur Tarek Ehlail, bei dem unter anderem deutsche Größen wie Helge Schneider, Stipe Erceg, Claude Oliver Rudolph, Martin Semmelrogge, Henriette Müller und Ralf Richter mitspielen. Der Film sorgte seid seiner Vorpremiere vor allem in der Boulevard Presse für großes Aufsehen, da er kontrovers mit der Geschichte der Chaostage in Hannover umgeht. Bevor der Film im Frühling ins Kino kommt, werden Teaser, Trailer und sehr unterhaltsames Material der Deutsch Stars während der Dreharbeiten gezeigt.
(http://www.chaostage-film.de/new/presse.html)

Ausserdem: Die Londoner Firma Think Sync , die auch eng mit Empire und dem Raindance Festival verknüpft ist, stellt ein spannendes Programm aus Kurzfilmen zusammen. Zum größten Teil ungesehenes, teilweise die Gewinner des jährlichen Think Sync Wettbewerbs, der jeden Sommer in London stattfindet, in dessen Jury unter anderem Fifth Element Regisseur Iain Smith und weitere Größen des Britischen Films sitzen.
(link   http://www.thinksyncfilms.com/)

Und jetzt zur Party! (Das Line Up sagt alles: Andrew Weatherall, die Legende aus UK, der den britischen Dance Sound wie kein anderer geprägt hat. David Holmes, der David Holmes, der die Soundtracks für die Ocean 11-13 Filme mit Brad Pitt, George Clooney usw, gemacht hat! )

...we were so busy partying...so

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!


While music journalists in Germany are wondering what happened to pop music (yes, we said it years ago. In a globalized economy national pop music is becoming less relevant every year. Music , after all, is not that different to the rest of the economy.) , we continue our path into the future.



Just got back from Portugal, crazy New Years Eve rave with 2000+ kids going mental (we know this term is totally British and a taboo term in modern Indie music, that's why it has to be used again from now on. Creds to Garagem to make it happen!). Hardcore, hardcore hardcore. Drug music, dangerous and without any context to what we used to call western pop music.

People are angry, that's why.

Gone is the decade of whiny upper class kids who pay their way into the music scene (because nobody else can afford it any longer). People feel and know that middle and working class have been pushed down by the super rich over the past decade, and now the dream of the rising working class rock'n'roll band has been lost...maybe forever.

(Remember, mostly, these images were marketing campaigns to sell a "product" to us. "These guys are like you, now go buy it." We were never into buying music that reminds us of our neighbors...why? Because we hate them as much as they hate us.)

Now is the time for a new underground to emerge. NOW!

We want music which is exciting, thrilling, passionate, dangerous and unpredictable. The minds of the new generation are open and ready for change. It won't happen in one day, but the door is open and it will stay open... for a while.

Those who sit back, those who are passive and expect corporations to deliver everything to them, will be left behind.

The new listener is active, is searching the internet for new music, the new listener is questioning any written information about music (yes, you, you journalists who have become the little finger of the corporates. You lost your integrity, once lost, no way to get it back...that's part of the game.), the new listener is making up his/her own mind, creating his/her own taste. The new listener is thinking, because knowledge and ideas are gold in this era.

The old way of capitalism has failed. Even many conservatives are waking up now. In Paris we have seen more burning cars on New Years Eve than ever before.

We don't need guns, our weapon is the mind...and we are ready to riot at any time.

I don't need to say that our solidarity is with those who supported, lost and loved Alexandros Grigoropoulos.
(I didn't want to say anything right away, because too many bands try to sell something on the back of those tragedies. And I hate that. But we received so many emails asking where we stand, I wanted to get it out. This is where we stand!)

The super rich are not paying taxes, why does the police protect them? They should protect the people. Us.

In 2008 we started and finished many new things : New music, films scores and more.

Thank you all for your ongoing loyalty and support!

In 2009 many of the projects we were working on are being released and premiered.

In a minute I'll give you an update on shows and live events that we'll do over the coming months, but 3 concerts need to be mentioned now:
Alec Empire is playing 3 exclusive shows in Great Britain. London , Manchester and Glasgow.

Alec and his band (yes, including Nic Endo) will play material from following albums: Generation Star Wars, The Destroyer, Miss Black America, Intelligence & Sacrifice, Futurist, Atari Teenage Riot (plus special guests!), The Golden Foretaste of Heaven and present new songs from the upcoming album to be released later this year.

As you might know, the shows are happening around Alec's birthday (2nd of May) and the anniversary of ATR's legendary show on May 1st 1999


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ab7Dksqfnw

This will be a huge party and ticket sales are super limited.

Bass Terror 2xCD is available as CD only release next week (January 5th).
please note: only 3 copies of limited edition package left. (thanks for all your emails asking to repress, but we feel that the idea of a limited collectors release is that it stays limited, even if there is more demand. It would be unfair for those who supported the release so far.)

JOIN AND WIN THE COMPETITION!



December 1st Release of superbag Bass Terror 2xCD (20tracks) !

Join the competition now!

and win :
the full set (including 2xCD, Hoody, dog tag etc.)
or
the 2xCD plus "Bass Terror" dog tag
or
limited edition "Bass Terror" dog tag   !!!!!!!!!!!

To participate just become a myspace friend of
www.myspace.com/bassterrorberlin
AND
register with www.eyho-blog.com


The winners will be announced next weekend ,
Saturday 29th of November.



In 1992 Alec Empire and Carl Crack started a sound system
called Bass Terror.
About a handful of other DJs joined right away.
They promoted the first ever purist jungle and breakcore raves
outside the United Kingdom.
In Berlin squads and run down warehouses a new sound was
developed.
Journalists couldn't compare it to rave or breakbeat anylonger.
A new term was chosen:

Breakcore. 

The sound was harder, faster and way louder than its UK
prototype. 




One other significant difference: Bass Terror was highly charged
political with its Anti-Nazi and Anti-Racist slogans and artwork.
Empire and Crack saw the extreme right wing having a rising
influence on the German techno scene.
Bass Terror was formed as a movement of resistance.
One of the first tracks released was called "Hetzjagd auf Nazis!"
(German for "Hunt Down And Kill The Nazis").

Frankfurt based techno label Force Inc. Music Works started
a sublabel called Riot Beats to give this sound a new push
and platform.
A year later Alec Empire would start
Digital Hardcore Recordings (1994).

The original EP series were only released on vinyl
in the years 1992/93.
Now 15 years later, Alec Empire is about to re-release these tracks
for the first time in digital remastered format -
plus previously unreleased tracks from that era!
