The Anniversary Issue

It’s no big secret, but in case you missed it, we just turned three! Three years of unforgettable discoveries, concerts and Wastelands festivals.

And to think it all started in a spare room in a street named after a freshwater fish... Now, we’ve just let the corks of the home-distilled port pop in our brand new office, a cosy wooden den, city-style. But most of all, we just want to celebrate with you guys, who’ve been supporting us all along. So come feel the love and eat cake with us in Vooruit, Ghent and Beursschouwburg, Brussels on 13 and 14 February!

February Recommendations Each month our staff provides you with a selection of the finer things in life. Enjoy!

Music: 9300 Records

Music: Eosmin

Once and for all, we want you to know that Aalst is about more than the annual festive carnival craziness. It’s also the creative hub of the 9300 Records label, a relatively new imprint of the all-thingselectronic collective Spektrum. Run by eight local music enthusiasts, Spektrum has been setting up a wide range of events over the past two years. The first 9300 Records release, Innershades’ What about us EP, just hit stores and features three original tracks and a remix

by Willie Burns. It’s a little bomb of softtempered house with a sweet retro vibe, aiming straight for the dance floor.

DRLR is welcoming Eosmin as the newest member to their Brussels-Antwerp love affair. After cocooning with his glacial productions, close friends and mostly himself, Eosmin is ready to leave his safe haven and take it to the clubs.

His album ペトリコール (Japanese for Petrichor), loaded with dusk synthwaves and heated pools of chopped and screwed a capellas is due 20th of February. In case you were wondering, ‘petrichor’ is Ancient Greek for the smell rain leaves on dry land. Comforting, mellow and delightfully ephemeral.

February Recommendations Art: Alis Pelleschi

Tech: Whyd Have you been losing sleep because you were scavenging new music from Subbacultcha lately? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to create a playlist out of all those videos and songs for a Friday evening with friends? Well, you can do it easily with Whyd. Just drag the ‘Add track’ button to the bookmark bar of your browser and voilà! Now you can add tracks from Mp3, Soundcloud, Vimeo, Youtube and, of course, from any web page with an embedded player from these sites. Let us be your guide to music and Whyd will give you the freedom to arrange it any way you want.

London-based Alis Pelleschi is a kind of unstoppable creative multi-artist: she’s a photographer, fashion designer, filmmaker and stylist all rolled into one.

Starting out with being her own model, she realised she’d rather create a series of intriguing profiles and provocative characters. Influenced by contemporary art legends such as Cindy Sherman, Pelleschi’s themes are the exploration of identity, storytelling related to personal experience and aspirations and the obsessions of modern society. She recently shot the Meat Mutant collection made out of latex. Surreal, somewhat disturbing but always fun and positive, her work aspires to feel empowered, sensual and... limitless!

on life in general. Her illustrations have been used for Zwellend Fruit, a novel by Peter Verhelst, and she has created artwork for Ghent-based music group Binti. Bekaert experiments with different materials and printing techniques, such as the biosolf technique and printing on cotton, which results in intriguing images with a dark vibe. stienbekaert.be

Art: Oogst Author Frederik Willem Daem and journalists Jozefien Van Beek and Thomas Van Loocke have teamed up for a brand new, independent paper magazine called Oogst, focusing on fine arts, literature and film. Amid the ever accelerating pace of society, they opt for slow journalism, bringing together a surprising and pleasing collection of personal pieces about art. From brand-new discoveries to long-forgotten gems, the contributors are guided by their own passion and interests, not by the topicality of their subject. Oogst will appear four times a year. The first issue is out now and features contributions by Herman Selleslags, Rinus Van de Velde and Nicolas Provost, among others.

Elise Peroi is a young Brussels textile designer, a talented weaver and textile printer. She distinguishes herself by using a very specific method called ikat, famous in Indonesia and Uzbekistan.

Peroi is inspired by Beijing and juxtaposes old Chinese nature engravings and pictures of actual buildings. You may be tempted by a piece of textile as a future accessory for yourself or furniture, and maybe even more by a woven canvas to hang on your wall. And as you might have guessed, each piece is handmade and unique.

We Visit You: Raphaël Desmarets Photo by Nina Strebelle

Your first ever music-related memory?

My mother, sister and I dancing in the living room to the first track on Kronos Quartet’s Pieces of Africa.

What’s your favourite pastime?

Playing music.

What does an ideal lazy Sunday look like for you?

A cold but sunny day, riding my bike and getting lost in the suburbs of the town I live in.

Any guilty pleasures?

Watching episodes of Beavis and Butt-head until it’s really not funny any more.

Any regrets recently?

Yes – but I know that the ¡¡¡FUTURE HOLDS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THEM!!! and will, at some point, make all frustrations fly away in a second.

What makes you dance?

Anything I want.

Which future Subbacultcha show are you looking forward to?

The birthday party at Vooruit looks cool, but I’m almost sure I won’t make it because I have to work on that day, so have fun everyone!

What do you like best about your place?

The people I live with (that includes my cat).

What was your most memorable birthday so far?

Gazelle Twin. Continued It’s interesting how this record cuts open contemporary culture in a ruthlessly honest and personal way, and at the same time is really good to dance to.

Thank you! I think you can judge music purely on its effect on how much you feel you want to dance to it – at least, I reckon that’s a good measure of it. I just love physical music and wanted this record to trigger a simple physical reaction, which is to really feel that low bass and repetitive beats. I enjoy music like that, so it naturally happened that way.

It’s almost as if that physical part you’re talking about is the euphoric part, while the lyrics are quite disturbing.

The song ‘Exorcise’ is the least negative one on the record. It’s about celebrating the body – a positive thing [Laughs].

That song is about the body on fire, right?

Absolutely. It’s about sex – so all the good things, from orgasms to fever dreams, and even in that there’s some good stuff, like when you’re on drugs and not necessarily suffering, that too can be quite fun.

Listening to the record makes you feel like you’re tangled up in your own guts. Is that a good thing too?

Well, that’s what it was for me. It was literally from my belly at one point. I wanted to make it sound like I was recording inside my body, inside the guts where all these certain emotions like nerves, longing and anxiety are settled. For me how these emotions affected me, my mood, that was important to me.

The lyrics are deeply personal. You make yourself quite vulnerable – in spite of the uniform and the mask you wear onstage. Can you tell us a bit about the process from not talking about stuff to not resisting it any more?

For most of my life I was concealing it, which is probably what drove this irrepressible desire to just scream out everything that

17

Gazelle Twin. Continued ‘I wanted to make it sound like I was recording inside my body, inside the guts where all these certain emotions like nerves, longing and anxiety are settled’ I’ve come to feel growing up. The songs come from a long period of reflecting on this and understanding how everything shaped you. At some point you can’t be anything but honest. The traumatic aspects of everything in this record, I already went through. That person isn’t me now, but me back then, even though it’s fictionalised and even though memory is in part fictionalised. I sort of imagined that process if I met myself as a child. Once the attachment is there, you’re not that person any more. I wanted to explore what was still lingering. I do feel like I was able to be quite brave and frank about it, but I don’t like to talk too much about it. It can become boring or New Age-y, but there certainly is a therapeutic aspect there, and the interesting thing is, even though it’s so particular to me, it relates to others.

The name Gazelle Twin conjures up a beautiful image. How did that come about?

Its origin is not so exciting, really. It’s an anagram of my birthname with some letters added to it. There were, like, 3,000 combinations and I instantly thought Gazelle Twin conjured a strong image – plus it had a link to the Bible, which I used to love to read as a teenager. The romance of it had a strong appeal to me. In the Old Testament there’s one passage about sex, it’s really kind of wordy, about a woman’s breasts compared with two fawns of a gazelle, so I saw that image again and instantly loved how it makes the project inherently feminine, but at the same time slightly detached and symbolic. Now

18

The Anniversary Issue. Interview

I don’t really think about the name any more, except when someone says I copied Aphex Twin!

You could easily blame your twin.

It’s a very fortunate name in every way! And having this biblical reference, to me, is a secure way to experience life. That’s why people are drawn to religion, I think, and I am too: it’s a comforting thing.

Gazelle Twin plays 3 Years of Subbacultcha on 13 February at Vooruit, Ghent. The show is free for Subbacultcha members.

blurry streets at night. Because that’s the best way to listen to Kassett’s music: just go for a walk and let the mysterious and crispy beats, deep bass and complex rhythms blast through your headphones. Though the birthday parties he threw as a kid with his twin sister didn’t look particularly spectacular, we’re pretty convinced Gavin Vanaelst’s future does 21

Kassett. Continued Why do you make music?

My previous project, Kassett, was mostly a project about sounds and atmospheres, whereas now I’m trying to take a new direction, focusing more on musical aspects. I want the music to have an impact on people, to make them dance.

When did you start making music?

I attended the conservatory during high school, playing the piano.

I wasn’t a very good student; my teachers always complained that the music I made didn’t make any sense. So I decided that during my free time I was going to focus on a different instrument and very quickly I picked up the bass guitar. I made a couple of songs that I recorded on tape and a couple of years later I bought a computer to start recording. That’s when I started messing around with electronic music.

Do you have good memories of music school?

Of course. Although I wasn’t a good student, I remember telling myself to just bite the bullet and to get the basics and the theory out of this whole thing. It’s definitely influenced the music I make today.

What’s the best setting to be in to listen to your music?

Just put it on your MP3 player and go for a walk. In my hometown, Rumst, there are these riverbanks that are just perfect for that.

Have you ever thought about accompanying your music with visuals?

Actually, for my latest album I’ve worked together with a movie director to produce visuals. But I still think music and film are two different things; it’ll be interesting to see the two mixed together.

You recently won the Red Bull Elektropedia Award for Most Promising Artist. What does that mean to you?

I was very happy, but you know, it’s always somewhat strange because you’re not sure how many people actually know about your music. There’s probably 20 people out there who know my music, and they’re all in some way connected to the music industry. The two

Kassett. Continued people from the jury who voted for me were also from the music industry. It’s not representative of the amount of people who care about my music. So in the end it doesn’t mean that much to me. My mother has started listening to my music since then. I think now she finally understands that I’m not this crazy guy who’s making music for no one.

Can you tell me about DRLR? It’s a label that I run with my friend Willem Gerits. He takes care of all the management and legal stuff and I’m more on the music side of it. It’s been around for almost two years, but until now things have been taken care of very anarchically – mostly because we were just bad at it. Now we’re making the label official and taking things more seriously. Out of all the bands that have gone through the label, Kassett and SamuelSpaniel really represent our ideology, as we both like to experiment with sounds, and have very similar interests in audiovisuals.

What’s your favourite celebration of the year?

I’ll go with the summer vacation because it’s a celebration in every sense. I feel like the winter doesn’t offer the best setting for celebration. For instance, we celebrate the New Year, but there’s a part of us that’s unsatisfied. Whereas in the summer, any type of celebration is an honest and total experience.

What were your birthday parties like as a child?

Well, I have a twin sister and we were always in the same class so we’d celebrate our birthday together and the party would just end up being a replica of the classroom.

Will you make an exclusive track for Subbacultcha’s three-year anniversary?

Sure. I’ll make a very dancy Kassett plays our festive 3 Years of Subbacultcha evening at Vooruit, Ghent on 13 song.

Since the late ’90s Laurent Baudoux has assumed a variety of artistic monikers and been a part of numerous bands. He first emerged as Lawrence Le Doux a few years back, moulding club tropes like molten plastic, making them his own.

Books Text and artwork by Gabriela González

The Book

by Alan Watts As I write this, the New Year is endeavouring to make us feel small and unsafe, lost and helpless, divided by differences we perceive to be immutable. Beliefs – whatever they may be – are simultaneously shields and swords, manifestations of our egos which lead to actions that conversely alienate us from the true essence of our being.

With this in mind, and with Alan Watts’s 100th birthday just behind us, it’s time to visit that great 1967 beacon, The Book.

The Book was conceived as a manual explaining those capitalised Big Questions that religion, science and many an emo band continuously ponder: the ‘Why Are We Here?’s; the ‘Where Did We Come From?’s; the ‘What’s the Freaking Point of it All?’s. Watts spent many moons studying every religion under the sun, and The Book translates mystical Eastern philosophies such as the Hindu Vedanta to make its point. The way

Watts sees it, we are bound by a great hoax, the hoax of the self as separate from the body. Watts was prescient enough to see that this hoax, perpetuated by society, would be at the root of a spiritual and material schism in the Western world, with all the tragic consequences that would entail. In this not-so-great 2015 climate, it helps to step away from the game of egos and to spend some time with Alan, letting this centenarian giant guide you through the wondrous, unfathomable and quite frankly mindmelting experience of being here, now – not as individuals, but as everything and everyone at once.

Films Selected by Sabzian - www.sabzian.be

Pier Paolo Pasolini Retrospective

Si tu veux voir le monde, ferme tes yeux

In Antwerp’s Cinema Zuid the Pasolini retrospective continues throughout February. Try not to miss his wonderful Medea, for instance, featuring the tremendous Maria Callas in her sole cinematic appearance. In this film Pasolini uses the tragic relationship between Medea and Jason to draw the rupture between an archaic culture based on magic and a sense of sacred violence, and its inevitable destruction at the hands of rational modernism.

Retrospective throughout February at Cinema Zuid, Antwerp.

At the beginning of this month the first instalment of the two-part exhibition Si tu veux voir le monde, ferme tes yeux opens at Argos in Brussels. The title comes from Jean-Luc Godard’s superbly engaging Le gai savoir, a lesson in seeing and saying.

And indeed, we can say all we want about what we see, but what we see is never lodged in what we say.

From 07 February until 05 April at Argos, Brussels.

Films

The Forgotten Space Noël Burch & Allan Sekula

Nicholas Philibert Retrospective

‘If there is a single object that can be said to embody the disavowal implicit in the transnational bourgeoisie’s fantasy of a world of wealth without workers, a world of uninhibited flows, it is this: the container, the very coffin of remote labourpower.’ The Forgotten Space is a film essay on the maritime trade at the heart of the global supply chain and 21st-century capitalism. The film will be screened in the presence of co-director and eminent film critic Noël Burch.

Screening at KASK Cinema, Ghent on 19 February at 20.30.

‘The origin of the film is not so much its subject. The question of subject […] is in the background for me. […]

I try, maybe, not to make films about, but to make films with, with these people.’ This February Cinematek offers a retrospective of the celebrated French documentarist Nicholas Philibert. Ten feature-length films, two short-film programmes and a masterclass make for a great opportunity to (re-)discover this important figure in documentary cinema.

Until 22 February at Cinematek, Brussels.

08 February-05 April - Argos, Brussels Wed-Sun 11.00-18.00 | €5 | Free for members

Argos will screen different works that have been co-produced and/or are supported by Beursschouwburg.

Si tu veux voir le monde, ferme tes yeux is an exhibition project in two parts based on video works from the Argos collection. The title nods to Jean-Luc Godard’s film Le Gai Savoir (1968), in which two characters wonder about the meanings of sound, words and images.

The expo shows a selection of works that

simultaneously evoke cinema to be seen as both a technique and an introspective experience. Opening on Saturday evening, 07 February.

13 February - Botanique, Brussels 20.00 | €17 | Free for members Naming your album Champagne Holocaust makes you sound like trouble.

And that’s just what this south London six-piece is. Smelling of cheap booze and testosterone, Fat White Family likes to shake things up with a dirty and loud rock’n’roll set. Heavenly Recordings signees The Voyeurs make for some good old punk rock, with a clear ’70s vibe.

Film: Anger and Beyond

09 February - OFFoff, Ghent 20.30 | €7 | Free for members Next to Kenneth Anger’s classic Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969) OFFoff will screen Sins of the Fleshapoids (1965) by Mike Kuchar. Both movies have a distinct sexuality and a classically Sixties feel to them. Sins of the Fleshapoids will take you a million years into the future where human laziness results in android riots, whereas Invocation of my Demon Brother will show you a maddening collage of pentagrams, satanic imagery and shrunken cats’ heads.

Viet Cong + Absolutely Free

dering beats and synths with a whole lot of distortion, gasping and breathing.

Combining atmospheric loops, spoken word, vague post-dub and IDM influences, Copeland will open up a phantasmatic realm. Our very own Kassett recently won the Red Bull Elektropedia Award for most promising artist and he’ll prove he’s worth it. With Sheniqua World Tour, Ruud Rudy Van Moorleghem will take you along to the Gabber Paradises and Ecstasy Lands of your dreams.

17 February - De Kreun, Kortrijk 20.00 | €15 | Free for members Since the dissolution of Women, two of the members of the Calgary band have gone on to make post-punk as Viet Cong.

Earlier on we had a chat with the lovely Matt, who stated that he believes there maybe is ‘some kind of weird energy or that there’s something different happening in a different universe’. Well, we’re truly devoted to their sharp-angled rhythms and garage-pop melodies. Absolutely Free will hook you up with just the right dose of krautrock-ish artpunk.

3 Years of Subbacultcha

14 February - Beursschouwburg, Brussels 20.00 | €13 | Free for members Apart from being in charge of the experimental Italian label Presto?!, Lorenzo Senni is a tireless investigator of the mechanisms of dance music. This Milan-based thirtysomething goes wild on pointillist trance, being essentially ’90s-style trance permanently withheld from its own beat drop. Next up, Hiele is your man for intoxicatingly good, dreamy melodies and heavily saturated drum parts. And last but not least, Lawrence Le Doux creates pulsating sunsoaked rhythms.

Cult of Youth + Tomaga

21 February - Het Bos, Antwerp 21.00 | tba | Free for members With Final Days, Cult of Youth just released its third album for Sacred Bones.

Sean Ragon, who once incited the project on his own out of love for the postindustrial music and culture that had inspired him since he was a teenager, now surrounds himself with a new line-up.

Together, the five-piece has delved deeper into their punk-influenced psychedelic neofolk. London-based drum-andsynth outfit Tomaga will be opening.

With their third full-length release Badillac, they pay their debt to the supersonic ’90s rock that first inspired them. Think: raw and unpredictable, blazing with emotion and experimentation, volcanic riffs and provocative lyrics.

OFFoff will be screening the five winners of the 2014 International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. Go enjoy Return to Aeolus Street, where Maria Kourkouta shows looped black-and-white fragments of popular Greek films of the ’50s and ’60s, while poetic passages are narrated over melancholic piano pieces.

From 12 February till 27 March KultuurKaffee goes on tour with the travelling arts festival BANG!, which is curated by drummer Teun Verbruggen.

At the amazing W-O-L-K-E venue with dito view, on the 12th floor of a Brussels building, choreographer Charlotte Vanden Eynde teams up with bassist Kristof Roseeuw for a unique improvised performance. Vanden Eynde has evolved more and more towards pure dance, whilst Roseeuw is a creative centipede into all things jazz.

Five bodies encounter one another in a place without a name. According to the rhythm of the circumstances, they slowly grow closer. Soon, they find one another in one of the most intense and animated forms of human expression: laughter, and the ensuing communal ecstasy. After the grandiose and critically acclaimed solo It’s Going to get Worse and Worse and Worse, my Friend, Lisbeth Gruwez and Voetvolk have now opted for a fascinating and colourful group choreography.

Artefact Festival ‘You must change your life’: it’s this year’s red thread running through Artefact. Via an interesting selection of artwork, installations, performances and concerts, the annual festival explores the way we keep adapting to our ever-changing surroundings. We’ve picked out a few treats for you.

11-22 February 2015 - STUK + other locations, Leuven Faith in Strangers, Andy Stott continues to bring a human touch to colder, industrial sounds; as Miles, Miles Whittaker focuses on noisy minimal techno. Together, as Millie&Andrea, they take you on a dark and thrilling dub-techno trip.

Schakleton + Kangding Ray + Grey Branches - 20 February Experimental clubbing, anyone? Kangding Ray combines live instruments, distortion and field recordings with an industrial sound. Shackleton’s your man for hypnotic melodies and lurking percussion and Grey Branches balances between experimental techno, noise and ambient.

Mittland Och Leo

Evening of the Voice - 19 February A wide variety of performances centered around the human voice. Siri Landgren holds a lecture-slash-performance about the falsification of the voice as a style of music; Anna Raimondo wonders how we can deduce the personal characteristics of a person simply by hearing their voice; and Alma Söderberg plays with syllables, intonation and dream language.

Mouse on Mars + Lydia Ainsworth + Mittland Och Leo - 21 February Lydia Ainsworth released a stunning debut album with Right from Real, filled with mesmerising songs, surprising crossovers, samples and string arrangements.

Mittland Och Leo, meanwhile, creates warm psychedelic exotica, with magical synths and chirping melodies. As a monument of the electronic music scene, Mouse on Mars will celebrate its 21st birthday with you.

Modern Love Label Night - 20 February Manchester-based label Modern Love has quite the roster to get you all excited. With

Floris Vanhoof + 18+ — 06 February In case you just can’t pull an extreme allnighter during the whole weekend, be sure to to swing by on 06 February. At eight, our featured artist Floris Vanhoof is creating a synergetic experience by accompanying his video wall with live music.
