MPC LAFOTE (D-HH) support Manuel Scuzzo

In the organizer's words:

Hard Pop * Post Wave

The post wave act MPC LAFOTE from Hamburg is the further development of the post punk band LAFOTE. Hard pop is the result. Yes exactly, it's hard pop: a long-forgotten genre of world music twists. It drives you like nettle tea - but not to the toilet, but to dance. He himself dances live to his very own rhythm and sings stories, made up or dug up encounters with an old shaman who has never slept. Sometimes with drums, sometimes with the old MPC 1000 - there they are, the three devoted P's: Punk, Pop, Pechno.When concerts were finally possible again in 2022, MPC LAFOTE played in Hamburg and Berlin as support for "shatten" (ex-FINDUS). The hall dances through, the reactions are overwhelming. New fire! Produced by TOBIAS LEVIN and JENS RACHUT, the album AQUARIUM by MPC LAFOTE will be released in October '23 on Hanseplatte/Misitunes and Major Label - now on tour, today live in Dortmund...downstairs, at the harbor.

Admission: 19:00h,
start: 20:00h.

Support: Manuel Scuzzo

On 01.03.2024 the album TRAUMFABRIK by Manuel Scuzzo will be released by Hanseplatte/Misitunes. It is dedicated to one of the greatest secrets of human expression: it is said that in dreams you can see into the subconscious or carefully hidden psychoses are revealed. The most bizarre human cellars are visited, everything is swept through, turned inside out, psychedelicized to the max. And yet the settings of dreams are often the purest kitsch.

Manuel Scuzzo's tracks, on the other hand, are more real, more structured, more orderly than any nocturnal, confused scenery. A generous simplicity (with a rather stretched musical range, however) runs through the songs. All the instruments serve not to obfuscate or blur, but to outline. The rhythms are concentrated, sometimes even funky. Falling asleep is virtually unthinkable - this collection is well-rested in the most beautiful sense! Are there more awake dream songs? Perhaps, but not so many.

Stylistically, Scuzzo wanders dreamily between the most diverse worlds of electronica, krautrock without much rock, 80s sounds and playful, spooky, sometimes ambient or post-classical tunes, which every director would love to use as a soundtrack for his pictures.
