It‘s all about the rhythm!

Thanks to the close cooperation with Matthias Angerer, operator and mastermind of Ost Klub, and with his music manager Marcus Westenberger, who also owns the AMP music agency, the LET‘S CEE Film Festival is in a position to present the whole range of Eastern European sound on three evenings. 

One representative band are Locomotiv, dubstep disciples who also like to play the swing combo once in a while, whooping it up with ska sounds. Together with the wild bunch of the Coffeeshock Company and the sound gadgeteer Ulf Lindemann combining electro-swing with Balkan beats under his pseudonym Dunkelbunt, they will officially open the LET‘S CEE series of parties at ost Klub on 26 May.

Further dancing parties should be marked red in the calendar on 1st and 2nd of June. For instance, there will be a performance by Zivatar Utca who combine a rough analogue sound, which they even like to produce in the street now and then, with ska, reggae and dub. And a few electronic dots to go with it. Ost in Translation cannot be classified in the narrow sense and accordingly stand for nothing and everything. With their attempts at musical explosions, they span the globe of world music like no-one else. From progressively traditional to centrifugally European and revolutionarily conservative – whatever you may imagine all these styles to be – all emotional states are allowed.

The four gentlemen forming Django 3000, for their part, take heavily from traditional folk music, concocting their own sound from this, with connotations of Bavarian texts, Balkan and pop. Circus Domino are another logical ingredient of this party cocktail. Their simple claim: to create something unheard of from the most varied musical styles of this world. If you got rhythm, what more do you need? The same is true, incidentally, of the cool DJ sets that will ensure that the audience stays in a mood for dancing even after the concerts.
