European Capital of Culture will finish with Club 2011 full of great music
One of the stars of the night is IIRIS whose international career took off after winning the 2010 Tallinn Music Week Skype „Go Change The World“ award. After her brilliant performance at Von Krahl the word started to spread – „especially good performance and great song writing,“ said Dietmar Schwenger of MusikWoche. Invitations to festivals like Popkomm (Germany), Musiikki & Media (Finland), The Great Escape (UK), Positivus (Latvia) and Iceland Airwaves (Iceland) followed soon. At the beginning of 2011 IIRIS was chosen as the artist of the week by MTV Iggy’s blog. This summer IIRIS signed a record contract with EMI that will release her first album in March next year. At Club 2011 she will present her first official single "Melyse” that was released last week under EMI label.
Plektrum Festival - a long term partner of Club 2011 – that helped to shake up Helsinki’s club scene last year at „Night Moves“ will introduce one of the most unique tech house artists of the world Redshape. Dutch origin Redshape, who always wears a red mask on stage is one of the most idiosyncratic techno musicians today who can combine the past and future of techno giving this otherwise overproduced genre a new breath of life.
In cooperation with Mutant Disco the last party of Club 2011 will be hosting Lil Silva (UK) and 2562/Made Up Sound (Netherlands). Lil Silva is one of the most talked about base music artists who combines among other sounds American house, funky and grime. 2562/Made Up Sound explores the borders between dub step and techno being sometimes more abstract, sometimes more experimental but also using danceable disco rhythms.
Search of Sounds, who this summer brought to Estonia James Blake and Hudson Mohawk presents Dorian Concept to the Club 2011 guests. The Austrian origin pianist belongs to the new wave of electronic and instrumental hip-hop music. He is interested in a symbiosis of analogue and digital music and his energetic lives are being praised for improvisations.
As ambassadors of CitySonic 3 Pead and Kreatiivmootor will perform at Club 2011. 3 Pead plays bright Estonian hip-pop, Kreatiivmootor is a unique psychedelic rhythm orchestra that has performed on a few European festival stages lately.
Also the winner of this year’s student band contest Uebanda will perform at the party. Their music can be characterized as a mix of reggae, hip-hop, Balkan beat, and afrobeat.
Club 2011 is a party series that has throughout the year 2011 presented Tallinn’s club and alternative music scene to wider public. Each event has focused on one of the most viable club music scenes in Tallinn as Mutant Disco, Search of Sounds, Bashment, Telescope and others. Club 2011 final party is part of the closing programme of the European Capital of Culture Tallinn 2011.
Tickets on sale at Piletilevi, pre-sale 8 €, door 10 €.
