[bun.ka] ビデオジョッキー 28.12.

Posted on 05.12.2013 by Strobodan Teknosevic

[bun.ka] banner

文化 [bun.ka]: n. culture; civilization
ビデオジョッキー [bideojokkii] n. video jockey

Entropy revives the [bun.ka] concept that has been resting for nearly a decade. The idea is simple: short sets, no genre or bpm limits, (almost) anyone can play. This is a place for new DJs (kohai) to showcase their skills and a chance for old farts (sempai) to do something different than usual.

This time around we plan to pair each DJ with a VJ, so this is also an opportunity for new video artists to impress an audience with their mad vid skillz.

The search for DJs and VJs is on and the lineup is released before Xmas. Want to jockey discs or video here? Let us know!

Date: Saturday 28.12.2013
Place: Espoo UG (more details from Entropy ninjas)
Tickets: 5 euros

E20V – 20 Years of Entropy 22.–23.11.

Posted on 16.10.2013 by Strobodan Teknosevic

E20V cover

“The Machine ruled the city… But in 1993 the great Entropy began.”

Entropy turns 20 – join us for two nights of steamy atmosphere with great music and good friends!

Friday’s techno sounds are delivered by Ryan Elliott, originally from the United States and performing in Finland for the first time. Currently living in Berlin, Elliott is a resident at the city’s number one techno venue, Berghain. In the other room beats are broken by the British Dom & Roland. Active since 1996, this old school drum’n'bass producer has previously played for instance at Koneisto festival. The night’s other acts are Autopsy, Boner M and Roisto, with Entropy’s own Emma, Mr. Smooth, Solari and Snapo rounding up the roster. A special live appearance from Phantom in the beginning of the evening.

The party continues on Saturday with German efficiency. Pacou, who has been a part of the Berlin techno scene since 1989, is known from the legendary Tresor club. He has also produced music for almost two decades on Tresor and Cache Records labels. The second room goes deeper with Soukie & Windish behind the decks. This German duo is a regular at Fusion Festival and Bachstelzen arenas and plays in Helsinki for the second time. The Finnish DJ veterans Mr. A and Indigo bring their experience to Saturday night. The lineup is completed by Entropy’s Apo, Eerror, Opa and Toolicky.

VJ Workshop in October

The use of video projectors and LED/LCD screens has been dramatically increasing in a variety of live settings from underground nightclubs to theater stages, from catwalks to Olympic ceremonies. This in turn has raised the demand for Video Jockeys (VJs): video artists who can adapt their production to unique live situations. Less than a decade ago, VJing was an expensive hobby for just a handful of people, but has today become very accessible thanks to the increased performance and diversified A/V features of personal computers.

Entropy organizes a VJ workshop this Fall for anyone interested in learning more about VJing. The workshop starts with a lecture series that provides a general introduction to the basics of VJing, followed by a number of established Finnish VJs presenting and discussing their distinctive style and methods of working. These presentations will also introduce some popular VJ software such as Resolume and VDMX.

The attendees then have the possibility to work on their own VJ shows, receiving mentoring from the workshop organizers.

The goal of this approach is to provide the attendees with an overview on the variety of VJing styles and encourage them to find out the best ways of working for them and their own style.

Welcome!

Workshop information

Dates: Thursdays 10.10., 17.10. and 24.10.2013, 17:00–21:00
Venue: Aalto Design Factory (Studio), Betonimiehenkuja 5C, 02150 Espoo
