Fluon at Eclectica #2 Bassy Byetone

"This is the best party I've been to!"

Hey you!
Yesterdays Matemaatika was yet another Eclectica style epic party. The best part was Byetone. Here's a video of him playing at the OFFF festival>



Kaido and Eva were first with their with their punk electronics set. It was enjoyable except for the fact that Eva was somewhere in the dark. We only heard her, but she's a girl worth seeing as well. Lithuanian Metroscan had an interesting show, but it was almost unbearable. There were difficulties with the sound system so the harsh sound hurt peoples ears. Luckily I had an earplug. Their visuals were great thou.

The star of the night was BYETONE. I hadn't heard his music before, but it didn't matter. His beats were hard and the visuals were hypnotic. Everyone on the dancefloor was dancing. Byetone started with "Plastic star", numbers ticking behind him. The people dived into the heavy music music head on and everyone in the venue was dancing instead of the usual first five rows. The bass kept sweeping the dance floor and people threw their fists in the air. The last track was a special killer and it was sad to see him go so we got him back on the stage. He confessed that he doesn't have an encore so we got everyone chanting: "Same set! Same set!" until he played "Plastic star" one more time. People went wild, Kiwa Noid and Renca climbed on the speakers and had a synced dance which ended topless. There are photos of that on xx blog.

The party ended at 4 am. We continued the night at Karl T's house. It's his birthday, so happy birthnight from Fluon. The after party had 40 people in a small apartment and the speakers on max. The big finalle was the police arriving at 6 am because of all the fun we were having. We unsuccessfully tried to throw them out, because no one invited them to the party. No one got taken away and Karl T didn't get a fine. The after party continued on the streets and around town.

The police sent us on the street.

Get ready for another wild night, listen to party music from the player up there> and put your dancing shoes on for Vakula - the Ukrainian house master who will be playing tonight in Genklubi at Eclectica.

See you there!

Fluon at Eclectica #1

"His music is great, you can listen to the concert from the other room."
Hey you!
Eclectica started yesterday with a concert featuring Robin Guthrie, the founder of Cocteau Twins. It was very hypnotic shoegaze ambient concert. With Ragatmika opening for them, the whole experience was a great way to calm down for a moment before the wild weekend. I only wish there would have been couches and pillows to chill out.

Who killed summer?

"I feared worse, but now I have Tonight's parties on repeat."

Hey you!

The prison was opened for partying once again last weekend. There were tall fires started all around the coast of Estonia as a part of a pagan holiday. We played a hot set with Redlip on the prison beach. There were people in the Dj shack with us drinking vodka and asking to mix on the traktor S4. Other people were asking for Phil Collins or jungle. We freely interpreted those requests.

Another holiday involving a huge fire.

The part of the night we didn't play we spent with good friends. Getting sand in our shoes and tasty drinks inside us. Didn't have a place to crash so I just pulled an allnighter on the beach with the chosen few. Suggest a place for me to crash after my next gig in the shouts, below. Suggest gigs as well.

There's something about prisons that makes you want to escape.

Hours later, we greeted the Japanese sunrise at the beach - the big red sun rising from the sea. I seized the opportunity and played a short live including singing "Urge to follow" without a mic. Another couple of hours later we went sun tanning on the prisoner cages. The last tanning opportunity this year. The prison is a really magical place and I recommend going there. We had a private tour and it was awesome. As it turned out I was the only one who hadn't been jailed. We left at 4pm next day, when the prison was full of visitors and the old ladies had arrived to work.

Me and Mati made it through the night and we almost went for a swim in the morning.

The video shoot continues. We made a rough cut and found the parts we need to reshoot or recut so there's still work left to be done. Luckily the shoots amuse us and it's refreshing to work in another medium. More on the video and the shoot as we complete it. We just have to fix the beginning and the end, the middle part is done.

Meanwhile the autumn comes with an important event. Eclectica festival starts tomorrow. Eclectica has played an important roll in my creative development as it has introduced me to electronic music,  interdisciplinary shows and I've played some priceless shows there. I'm excited to see what the festival brings this year. Robin Guthrie a champ of hypnotic guitarpop and the founder of Cocteau Twins will play tomorrow. The show starts at 7pm. I'll be there and we'll probably go shooting afterwards. I'll keep you posted.

See you there!
