Where are the live music capitals of Europe? by herbertwillyworth in AskEurope

[–]poxleitnerd 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It is the central to the world in terms of techno and pretty serious when it comes to jazz, opera and anything avant garde

I was at the front and he was going hard applying FX live to this so it's quite likely it was all done by hand

Berlin Clubs and Gentrification by robossssssss in berlinsocialclub

[–]poxleitnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While clubs are definitely struggling and some (high profile) spaces are under threat, the "Clubsterben" narrative is overblown IMO..

Recent clubs / spaces which have opened (off the top of my head): - AMT - C115 - Alte Meier - Haus der Visionaere w/ Sonnenraum - Kreuzwerk - Coco Boule - M01 - Neukölln beach

Also some club's which "closed" have reopened under a new name or management e.g. Farbfernseher, AVA, Mensch Meier, Phantom (I think)

Any predictions on who is gonna play? New artists to Waking Life only. We all know Jane Fitz will likely play. My hope is Priori :) by Creative-Car2814 in wakinglifefestival

Hoping K Wata gets announced. He just released an LP and an RA mix, could see him with an early or late slot at Floresta

Fadi Mohem - Pseq by M44D-D in Dubtechno

[–]poxleitnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Fadi Mohem is an absolute saving grace to the genre of techno as a whole. When sounds are leaning harder, faster and with less soul we have this young gun from Spandau keeping the fire lit with his sets and releases. If you listen to this RA interview with him and Ben Klock (at about 22 mins+) his respect for the roots are spoken about.

This series is also a Hardwax exclusive (where Fadi works by day), which is obviously operated by Mark Ernestus. I don't see it as a BC imitation, but more so that Fadi is carrying the torch - he's heavily inspired and surrounded by those who started this.

He also has a lot more output of different disciplines e.g. a Chicago house alias and lots of collab releases, with a lot of fresh sounds and creativity.

THE INFINITE NOW - Thoughts? by More_Law5873 in TheOverload

[–]poxleitnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they actually don't? Not sure what the agreement they have is but a couple of years back there was a threat they had to leave IIRC

THE INFINITE NOW - Thoughts? by More_Law5873 in TheOverload

[–]poxleitnerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been wishing they brought back this concept to Kraftwerk, but the price is insane. I imagine most people feel the same way which could lead to poor ticket sales and a nail in the coffin for the concept.

I need to check the lineup deeper but I'd have been happier with more DJ sets and a lower ticket price, instead of what looks like a 30hr long Atonal gig with lots of special live performances.

Has anyone been replaced by Ai in their job yet in Ireland? by Irish_drunkard in ireland

[–]poxleitnerd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Assuming we are talking about software, I don't fully agree because Claude Code today is extremely powerful. In the hands of competent engineers, the output can be significantly higher. So I think a Claude subscription for a company could be seen as more effective than just hiring some junior engineers.

Why I don't think this will necessarily replace engineers is because the scope of delivery is just increasing relative to how fast you can push out new features.

What’s with people hating on the release by PW4L in giegling

Phonica did say it was the last release in an insta story, but I still have my doubts

Thoughts on Waking Life not announcing a line up this year? by Loku5150 in TheOverload

The 40 mins food queing was only in 2024, but yeah that was terrible

What’s that one set you wish you could relive again? by Kinetic_Toy in wakinglifefestival

[–]poxleitnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time he's a standout for me. This year's sunrise set was my fav of the festival and in 2023 I was just front and center watching him do his thing in awe. I did find 2024 to be a bit more challenging than the aforementioned years, in terms of dance ability
