irq7 is a so called "chiptune-artist" who spend a lot of time using old computer-hardware like Gameboys, Commodore-computers and other gadgets to produce a new kind of music.
Cheesy melody's and bumping beats are building dance-tracks, which are not only interesting for fans of retro-sounds.
The songs are somewhere between Electro, Breaks, Drum & Bass and oldschool Chiptunes.
He is playing regularly live-shows since 2006 at many locations supporting international acts (Vienna, New York, Cologne, Frankfurt...).
The first full length album was released in spring 2010 and called "Revenge of the Calm". It was produced one with just one Gameboy.
A few month later, the "It's not me EP" was released which contains cover-versions of his favorite songs coming from old computers like the Commodore-C64 and the Amiga.
In 2011 the "Girls & Gameboys EP" was released and well received. The latest release is from 2018 and called "Large Chiptune Collider" and distributed on audio-tape only.
Beside Gameboy-music, irq7 is focusing on tiny music-instruments and gadgets. All activities are under the umbrella-term "Noizebox",
and can be found at http://irq7.blogspot.com. "Noizebox" is not just the name of the blog - in fact it is a battery-powered speaker
build from various recycled electronic components. You can simple sit on the Noizebox and play with various electronic devices (e.g. Gameboy, Keyboards, Synth's etc.)
irq7 is also organizing a annual chiptune-festival in Nuremberg called "CHIP HITS THE FAN" featuring international Artist, Workshops and an Open-Stage.

In Songs from my analogue utopia I explore the self-organizing coordination dynamics of analog oscillators and the Utopian potentials of analogue communication. In analogue communication synchronization results from the mutual interaction of two or more processes, not a single process is dominating the other. It is in the mutuality where I see the Utopian potential of analogue communication. I undertake this exploration on the screen of an overhead projector where I place little motors driven by ...

This newborn monniker allows a Berlin-based devil of a fellow to appear cleared from what he is usually known for. Therefore we will keep the secret, suffice it to say: he is happily exploring the harder, darker domains rather than ruling the sunset floors as we have seen him doing in places as Garbicz festival. Experts of the scene may a find a hint in the URL below.

brick habe ich schon öfter auflegen erlebt als alle anderen Techno DJs. Das kommt daher weil ich Techno eigentlich noch nie besonders spannend fand. Zu kalt, zu monoton, zu sehr seiner reinen Funktionalität zugewandt. brick erfindet Techno nicht neu, aber er präsentiert ihn in einem wohl überlegten und angenehm temperierten Gewand.

Berlin-based artist AEX delivers complex and catching ambient spheres. From warm and melodic explorations via a rather technical approach to darker layers of machine music, occasionally enriched by her voice, this young live act blends a dense weave of soundscapes, beats and repetitive bleeps. She has quite a special connection to the CCC: at the age of 15, her father took her to the congress in Hamburg, where she discovered her passion for technical informatics in which she dived deeply ...
