DJ2D2 AV Show, Shelby Grey, Stand Up Against Heart Crime, Miranda Makaroff, GatoTV and Amable will also be performing at Barcelona's international fashion show..
The Brandery, Barcelona's international fashion show, which will take place on 13, 14 and July 15, 2012, once again makes a firm commitment to music, with an attractive line-up that includes live performances and DJ sets.
On the first day, Friday 13, electronic and synth pop will take centre stage, with shows by the legendary The Human League (a key group in British synth pop) and Spain's La Casa Azul, led by their charismatic frontman Guille Milkyway. The night will be rounded off by sessions from two veteran djs, Barcelona's Amable and Gato.
The second day, Saturday 14, features the show by Mala Rodriguez, an essential figure in Spanish hip-hop, who will be performing hits from her long and illustrious career. She will be accompanied by the amazing audiovisual show by DJ2D2, in which the Barcelona dj "plays" images, and the unpredictable electronica of Shelby Grey in the booth.
And to close the line-up, on Sunday 15, there is a double bill with the Spanish "it girl" Miranda Makaroff on the decks and the dark synth pop of the young pretenders Stand Up Against Heart Crime.
The shows will take place in Pavilion 8 of the Montjuďc Fair area in a space open to the public called Brandtown, which will feature parades, major brands and various exhibitions and workshops showing the relationship between art, cinema, eroticism and fashion.
Tickets are now on sale, at the price of 25 Eur for Friday, 15 Eur for Saturday and 12 Eur for Sunday. As well as admission to the concerts each day, the tickets entitle holders to access to all the Brandtown activities from 3pm onwards, and can be purchased through TicketMaster, Servicaixa, Fnac and Halcón Viajes.
Artists
FRIDAY 13th DE JULY 2012
The Human League
The Human League have been around since 1977, and were at the cutting edge of techno pop in the 80s, with a collection of singles and albums that have become indisputable classics of the genre, such as "Don't You Want Me," "Together In Electric Dreams," "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and "Human". After a decade of silence, the Sheffield outfit returned to the fray last year with a new album, 'Credo', and a new show that was seen by the audience at Sónar by Night.
La Casa Azul
The musical universe of La Casa Azul, the project of the talented Guille Milkyway, has a lot to do with the escapism and euphoria given off by genres like disco and classic pop. "La Polinesia Meridional", their latest and best album, makes the most of these and other references to create a vibrant kaleidoscope of colourful sounds, which have even more vitality when heard live, if such a thing is possible.
DJ Amable
DJ Amable is a Barcelona nightlife classic. He is closely linked to the programming of Razzmatazz, and wins over the most varied audiences with a masterful formula that splices together dance music with indie and rock, which was initially inspired by the Manchester scene but over time has developed into a style all his very own. Foolproof.
GatoTV (Tvno & DjGato) - Mash AV Show
Resident and co-responsible for Razz Club for some 10 years, Gato has been playing the DJ booths at clubs and festivals throughout Spain and parts of Europe, contributing to the popularization of what we could call 'indie-clubbing'. This time he arrives with some important changes as he presents the "Mash AV Show" under the guise of Gato TV, a new show created in collaboration with Tvno, in which original videos and mash-ups cross over continuously on one giant screen, creating live audiovisual mixing, and converting every session in a unique experience.
DISSABTE 14 DE JULIOL 2012
Mala Rodríguez
La Mala, born in Jerez and raised in Seville, is a key figure in the Spanish hip hop of the beginning of this century. In 2000 she caused a sensation with "Lujo Ibérico," which highlighted her own particular style of rapping and an outstanding sense of musicality. She has developed her sound since then, always introducing new elements to very catchy songs (like those on her his latest album, "Dirty Bailarina") that she and her crew amplify live.
DJ2D2 AV Show
DJ2D2 is a music lover to the core despite specializing in street music, and his name is always a hallmark of quality. After more than fifteen years spent travelling around the best booths and festivals in Spain and around the world (from London to New York, by way of Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Cairo), DJ2D2 has begun to shake up dancefloors with a show in which audio and video converge, combining video clips and images with the sole help of two turntables and a mixing desk. Class.
Shelby Grey
Shelby Grey is the new project by Vicknoise, a sonic combination which reflects his whole repertoire of influences, from the roots of electro, IDM and disco, to his favourite soundtracks, eighties rock'n'roll and more contemporary sounds. The boundaries between genres are meaningless when Shelby Grey is on the attack, either in the studio - or as on this occasion - at the mixing desk.
SUNDAY 15th DE JULY 2012
Miranda Makaroff
The multifaceted Miranda Makaroff is a designer, actress, illustrator, journalist and a very popular blogger on the net, and has also been getting behind the decks at all kinds of events and parties in sessions which radiate self-confidence and freshness, like everything else she does.
Stand Up Against Heart Crime
What started out as a personal project in Joseph Xortó's bedroom in late 2009 has over time become an increasingly consolidated dark pop band with electronic seams and a hypnotic quality, with a sonic palette ranging from Joy Division to the synth pop of yesterday and today. The Barcelona-based band has recently released an EP for free download on their bandcamp, and have been recording the tracks that will make up their debut album in London.
