Survived.

Endless sun, lovely labyrinth apartments, pools, rooftops, beaches, clubs, monasteries… Poble Nou, El Raval, Eixample, Barceloneta… Old friends, new friends, crappy promoters, super pro promoters, love affairs and old romances… There’s just one thing to add: we all are looking forward to Sónar OFF 2013!

Strategies of presenting yourself: the tech-rider.

“…
There’s one thing I have to tell you,  it’s the way I do my show,
and I’m not a Final Scratch Dj, I just want to let you know,
you can not call me a diva if I ask for certain things,
there’s only a few requirement I explain to you while I sing
tech-rider, tech-rider,  tech-rider, tech-rider
…”

When preparing an artist’s Tech-Rider you encounter various options of a. what to insert in the rider and b. how to present it. While I don’t want to discuss if it’s okay to ask a club to put a vase with fresh flowers beside the booth I want to demonstrate a more than original and adequate way to convince people to maintain the different parts of the rider as well as the other instructions. One can draw a scheme, write a full DIN A 4 page or pray to god, but what will remain in a technicians head is a – sung tech-rider. Need a proof? Check Matias Aguayo’s Acid Tech Rider, available under his soundcloud. So funny! Peter, please get this guy a date at Sonnenstraße 8!
