Im dritten FLUCCCAST unterhält sich Joseph Rüffert mit Pia, Hansi und Ruben von MEGAWORLD.xyz über die Verschmelzung von digitaler Kunst und Performance in realen sowie digitalen Räumen. MEGAWORLD war Teil der COMMON ROOMS Reihe, welche am 5. und 6. Oktober 2023 im FLUCC stattfand. Insgesamt wurden über 32 Performances in eine beeindruckende audiovisuelle 360°-Erfahrung integriert. Diese Performances wurden live vor Ort aufgezeichnet, projiziert und gleichzeitig über Livestream ins Internet übertragen. MEGAWORLD verknüpft auf innovative Weise das Digitale mit dem Physischen, dem Performativen und dem Künstlerischen. Diese einzigartige Verbindung stellt unser Verständnis von Realität auf die Probe, da MEGAWORLD einen Raum schafft, in dem kreative Ideen und Ausdrucksformen genauso wie die soziale Interaktion vor Ort, im Netz und im Schnittpunkt dieser beiden Welten eine wichtige Rolle spielen.

In the third FLUCCCAST, Joseph Rüffert talks to Pia, Hansi and Ruben from MEGAWORLD.xyz about their fusion of digital art and performance in real and digital spaces. MEGAWORLD was part of the COMMON ROOMS series, which took place at FLUCC on October 5 and 6, 2023. In total, over 32 performances were integrated into an impressive 360° audiovisual experience. These performances were recorded live on site, projected and simultaneously broadcast online via livestream. MEGAWORLD combines the digital with the physical, the performative and the artistic in an innovative way. This unique combination challenges our understanding of reality, as MEGAWORLD creates a space in which creative ideas and forms of expression play an important role, as does social interaction on site, online and at the intersection of these two worlds.

On Thursday, November 16 2023, Alicja Kaczmarek visited FLUCC to talk about her practice in leading the cultural center. Moving from Poland, she launched Centrala Space in Birmingham in 2015 where it since hosts community activities, workshops, concerts and more. 
Centrala is part of the Trans Europe Halles.

Susi Rogenhofer im Gespräch mit Ursula Maria Probst über ihre Projekte »Arbeiter*innen und ihre Arbeit« und »United Workers«, über den Wert der Arbeit heute, Risiken der Selbstoptimierung, über die Klassengesellschaft und Veränderungen in der Arbeitswelt durch Artifical Intelligence.  

Arbeitende Menschen rund um das Grätzel des Pratersterns werden von Susi Rogenhofer in ihrem Billboard und Film-Projekt »Arbeiter*innen und ihre Arbeit« ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Wer sind die Menschen, die an diesem Verkehrsknotenpunkt das Brot backen? Wer entsorgt die Abfälle und reinigt die Böden, nachdem tausende Menschen diesen täglich passiert haben? Wer kümmert sich an diesem sozialen Hotspot um wohnungslose oder drogenabhängige Menschen?  

Schon der Nouvelle Vague Regisseur Jean-Luc Godard wusste: Drehgenehmigungen an Orten, wo die Arbeit passiert, sind schwer zu bekommen. Das Kapital lässt sich nicht gerne in die Karten schauen – Zugang wird verwehrt. Wie lässt sich Widerstand üben gegenüber einem ausbeuterischen System? Identität ist nicht nur eine Genderfrage, sondern betrifft auch die Arbeit, die Du verrichtest. Diskriminierung durch Nichtanerkennung von Arbeit spielt dem Rechtsruck in die Hände, wie wir derzeit erleben. Das Projekt »Arbeiter*innen und ihre Arbeit« von Susi Rogenhofer ist ein Solidaritätsaufruf und gleichzeitig ein Appell, Kunst für alle zugänglich zu machen.

Die FLUCC-Außenfläche dienten für »Arbeiter*innen und ihr Arbeit« im Mai und November 2023 als Display und verwandelte sich zu einer Art großes Flipchart. Ins Scheinwerferlicht gerückt wurden jene Menschen, deren Arbeit häufig nicht sichtbar ist und die oft wenig soziale oder monetäre Anerkennung erhalten. Protagonist*innen wie Passant*innen hatten im Zuge des Projektes Gelegenheit Wünsche und Forderungen für die Verbesserung ihrer Arbeits- und Lebenssituation zu formulieren und niederzuschreiben.

FLUCCCast 06: VCC Green Club Guide Podiumsdiskussion

Zwischen Spoken Word, Rap, experimenteller Klangkunst und Politischer Rede singen die SIRENEN öffentlichen Raum herbei. Mit Megafonen und Mikrofonen tasten Lene Benz, Irene Coticchio, Caroline Koczan, Rahel Kraft, Sylvi Kretzschmar und ... die Umgebung des FLUCC akustisch ab, befühlen die Oberflächen des Platzes, bringen sie zum Schwingen und Vibrieren. Sechs Performerinnen platzieren gezielt Argumente, gravieren ihre Stimmen in den Beton, nerven und berühren. Sie entwerfen eine musikalische Form öffentlicher Sorgearbeit, die auf kollektivem Hören und Zuhören basiert. Dies ist die Aufnahme der Performance am 24.10.2024 im Rahmen der Ausstellungsreihe "In der Kubatur des Kabinetts".

Cologne-based producer @philippstoffel launches @akteaudio label with a debut solo EP, bolstered with a remix by fellow German artist VRIL. Ahead of its release, we turn our attention to the refracted dub workout 'Radius'. Its title offers a subtle nod to Stephen Hitchell’s production alias, hinting at the track’s lineage. 'Radius' unfolds as a deep, spacious dub techno piece — rich in atmosphere and laced with intermittent sci-fi electronics that ripple through its sparse, immersive soundscape.

Sales Notes:

Alpenglühen continues to establish itself as a trusted source for forward-thinking ambient techno with its latest vinyl release, introducing Vanertia, the new collaborative alias from Vand and  !nertia. This debut offering fuses the distinctive sonic DNA of both artists into a deeply textured and rhythmically intricate EP.

The record draws heavily from the dub techno tradition, with spacious delay lines and submerged chord stabs setting the tone across all tracks. Yet it’s the subtle interplay between syncopated grooves and classic 4x4 pulse that gives the record its driving energy. The percussion is detailed and organic, riding a bed of carefully sculpted low-end that never overwhelms but always supports the movement.

The result is a hypnotic, immersive listen that balances club functionality with introspective richness.

With Vanertia, Vand and !nertia have laid the groundwork for what promises to be a highly fruitful collaboration

Out in July, 2025

beams vol. 1 brings together extended friends and family for the label's first compilation release. it explores the full spectrum of beam-adjacent sounds, combining swampy mnml and tek haus; zenonesque refractions; fast-slow warpers; and contemporary progtranse iterations. more than anything, these are artists we have connected with as humans, whether in london, on travels further afield, or through digital mediations.

Casabianca 014 w/ Carnero

It all started back in 2018. Together with Jokios Kultūros, we stumbled upon a Boiler Room podcast that felt like a jolt to the senses. In a world dominated by slow grooves and chuggy melodies, there was DJ Normal 4 — cutting through the haze with something raw, fresh, and wildly different. We were instantly hooked.

Soon after, our paths took us to Georgia, to the iconic 4GB Festival. Under the open sky, amidst the mountains, we witnessed a b2b set of pure madness: DJ Normal 4 and Bufiman unleashing energy that felt from another dimension. It wasn’t just a set — it was a moment. One for the books. One we still talk about.

From there, Tim’s music became a constant companion. His releases on Second Circle, Klasse Wrecks, Brothers From Different Mothers, his own Aiwo Rec, and especially his debut album Tales of Z on Emotional Response — all played on repeat. They shaped our taste and soundtracked our days.

When we were close to our 100th podcast, we wanted to do something special. We reached out, and Tim said yes. He sent us a live recording that went viral as soon as we shared it. It felt like a big moment.

As our first events in Vilnius began to take shape, there was never a question — we had to bring Tim over. And when he came, it just clicked. What started as admiration grew into real friendship. He became a regular guest — not only on our dance floors, but also within our label. He remixed a track for our FAR EAST FLIGHT remix album, and later contributed a remix to our first vinyl release by Kalocain. He was also part of the fourth edition of Unreleased Territory. Two more visits to Vilnius followed, each one bringing us closer.

Tim has become an essential figure in the story of Electric Shapes. A spark that helped us evolve. An artist who gave us energy, courage, and confidence to push forward. Always kind, always real — with a killer sense of humor and a heart in the right place. A true star without trying to be one.

We’re endlessly proud to know Tim not only as DJ Normal 4, but as a friend, a collaborator, and a key part of what Electric Shapes has become.

From that first Boiler Room podcast to shared parties and shared records — it’s been a beautiful ride. And it’s far from over.

UT6⚡️DJ Normal 4 - XPal [Electric Shapes]

Blacklauren - the techno nom de guerre of Brooklyn’s Lesly Remy Jr. - works far beyond the reach of polite musical resolution. Enormous and pounding, these five tracks revel in what classically-minded listeners would consider dissonance - close intervals and flat fifths are expressed repetitively and hypnotically by whirling, searing synthesizers over undeniably kinetic drum programming. Harmonic ratios that less daring composers or improvisers would only ever use in the approach to resolution - or indeed would historically be considered demonic by early churches - are instead here the entire basis of these works. You are not permitted the safety of a return to a tonic chord, you are not permitted the boneheaded anticipation of a drop on the one, you are instead invited to savor the discomfort, everything progressing at a mechanical, unyielding techno sprint.

The result is a fascinating, disorienting space that ultimately works towards liberating the body. In the throbbing, unfamiliar harmonic churn of these body-rattling tracks something sublime bubbles up. Call it psychedelic, call it mesmerizing, call it mental, call it what you wish - but out amid the chug of the kick, as the unresolved melodies and clusters flutter unflinchingly, this freedom from resolution kicks you out of the airplane: it’s thrilling, it’s terrifying, it’s coming at you fast.

His work on these tracks can be described as devotional - with monastic dedication he makes certain to fire up Ableton and make some kind of sound every single day, hitting the YouTube tutorial dojo often or calling on fellow masters of dissonance Wata Igarashi or Linear System for expert guidance. He has also been a devotional fan of The Bunker New York, regularly attending our parties since 2010, appearing on several lineups and a pair of podcasts since then. Within the infinite universe of the DAW, he’s locked down a very particular set of instruments and presets, making great use of Reaktor’s realistic emulations of classic synthesizers. So his sonic signature is consistent, recognizable from track to track and also lovingly connected to the legacy of techno, plus the recordings are electric and alive. That’s the beautiful thing about going back to the same well again and again - you drink deeper with each dip.

Remy is also the founder of Nyabinghi Electronic Music, a fascinating label that arcwelds together the primal - like the pounding rhythms of Haitian Vodou, familiar to Blacklauren’s ears from his origins in Port-au-Prince - and the future - the various sonic technologies of the last fifty years, deployed precisely. Electrified into artistic ownership by the available time and inspiring swell of summer 2020’s Black Lives Matter actions, Remy makes explicit the label’s efforts to excavate the ceremonial aspects of techno and the futuristic summonings of African diasporic religious and cultural practices. In line with other tremendous futurists like the music and writings of DeForrest Brown, Jr. or the graffiti-as-starship designs of RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ, Blacklauren’s work with the label and on this release sounds like sirens that are ever-approaching, doppler bending as they continually arrive - we’re here in the emergency but still we jubilate.

With "Vivarium", Vienna-based live duo Mitra present their debut release and their first contribution to IO Records. Known for their immersive performances and site-responsive sound explorations, Mitra translate the raw intensity and spatial awareness of their live practice into a studio recording for the very first time.

The seven-track EP unfolds as a carefully composed sonic ecosystem. Each piece functions as a distinct organism within a living structure, contributing to a sound world that feels both precise and unpredictable. Rooted in deep listening, low-end exploration, and rhythmic subtlety, Vivarium invites audiences into an environment that is in constant transformation.

Rather than relying on fixed arrangements or traditional song structures, the tracks evolve gradually. Textures shift, patterns emerge and dissolve, and moments of stillness meet waves of tension. While firmly grounded in experimental sound design, Vivarium also reveals a sense of physicality and movement. The duo’s background in their live act is present throughout, channeling the energy of their performances into compositions that retain their organic, tactile quality.

Vivarium is more than a debut. It is an invitation to enter Mitra’s sonic world. It is a space shaped by intuition, presence, and the fluid relationship between listener, sound, and environment. With this release, Mitra opens a new chapter in their artistic trajectory, offering a compelling glimpse into the evolving potential of their sound.

Jacques Satre is one of those rare artists we can truly call a mindchanger — a taste shaper whose work changes the way we listen. Electric Shapes has always had a strong connection with the French scene, and Jacques perfectly embodies its forward-thinking spirit.

From his La Marais release to the remarkable music he’s shared on Worst Records, Jacques has consistently delivered sounds that astonish and inspire. His artistry first crossed paths with Electric Shapes through La Marais, an album that blew our minds from the first listen. Naturally, we invited him for a podcast — as we often do with artists who inspire us — and his openness, vision, and thoughtful perspective only deepened our respect for his work.

Most recently, Jacques unveiled a transcendent and spiritual album on Éditentités, roaming the psychedelic landscapes of dance music with the patience of a craftsman and the soul of a storyteller — blending acoustic instruments, precise production, and a borderless musical vision. 

It was a huge honor for us to invite Jacques to be part of our very first vinyl release. Without hesitation, he agreed and delivered a killer remix of Kalocain’s Genetic Memory, setting a powerful tone for what was to come.

Later, he joined the 5th edition of Unreleased Territory and now, with no doubt in our minds, we are adding him to this special edition of Unreleased Territory. Combining his masterful production with his easy-going communication and open-minded artistic approach, every collaboration with Jacques is an unforgettable journey.
