••• ELECTRONIC BEATS
NEWS
The Italian composer, known for his cosmically heart-wrenching analog soundscapes - who was also one of the most memorable performers at the first INOTA Festival last year at the Várpalota power plant - announced the news on his Instagram the other day that she will be the number one curator of the music program in 2025 and 2026.
We continue to keep up with the selection, helping you filter out the best parties from the digital noise, with the help of the city's program offering site, Telekom Spots.
Last year, the first album of Flanger Kids, a group of couch-slumping indie pop artists formed by Panka Szczuka and Fanny Gyarmati, was released, and now the still very lovable sequel titled B-Side has arrived.
Many people may have known Cabrio Cat from our 2020 compilation thanks to this synthesizer-intoxicated, life-positive song, but they didn't sit in a sealed cardboard box afterwards, but remained active: for example, they took us for a night drive and even turned it into a song when they were feeling really good.
In August, we gathered three times at the Festival of Telekomosok, starting at the Kreinbacher estate at the foot of Somló, from where we traveled to the sandy shores of the Körös-Torok, and at the weekend at Kisnánai Castle, we ended the summer with a concert by the acoustic trio Carson Coma, among others.
We keep rolling, another week, another stop! This weekend we visited Körös-torok in Csongrád, where Jazzbois, Cserihanna and Platon Karataev performed on a waterfront reminiscent of a Mediterranean world. Before them, Tolo & Falcao from LavaLava and Vatsanah warmed up, and Subogate held the finale.
Many say it's the most beautiful riverside beach in the whole country, and we think they might be right - but you make the final decision, because we'll drop the next Electronic Beats package here.
Have you ever partied where the sea roared a few million years ago? The mountain of Somló was born when this was still the case, but on this Saturday in August, we can mainly enjoy good vibes at the captivating Kreinbacher wine estate, at the Telekomosok Festival's next stop near Balaton - starting in the afternoon!
At the time of the coronavirus pandemic, our SZELEKTOR project, which started as a liberating response to confinement, has now reached its third round, in which we set out to find the most exciting new music in the country.
Last year, shapes of the past and the future merged into an exceptionally original unity in the stunning grounds of the Inota thermal power plant. One of the highlights of our festival was the opening of the enormous Turbine Hall, towering over us, and the idea was already in the air: we have to shake this giant again.
If you saw the mysterious blueness in the sky, which half the capital was speculating about... Then you don't have to guess anymore.
We love a good spot, and we think you do too. But what we love most of all is not missing out on good spots, good parties, concerts, workshops, design fairs, exhibitions and other shenanigans. But nowadays the news feed noise has swollen so much, the Facebook events page is sometimes so opaque and it's so easy to miss something that it seemed worthwhile to tidy it up.
Talent seems to be making its way in 2022, too, even if mass consumption or commercial radio stations have no interest in facilitating it. This new Electronic Beats compilation, available on all streaming platforms, is a celebration of these talents, and while we're at it, we're also going to turn it into a real celebration in the heart of the 8th district: three rooms, three categories, level 1000 goodvibes!
A few weeks ago we promised to come up with something new. Something that will initiate new dialogues, support artistic innovation and claim iconic spaces for new voices we believe need to be heard more clearly.
There will be new wave rap and old but gold machine music, pop-up contemporary dance, and the Altar of Light, an installation not seen anywhere else. Come with us!
