art:cast °110 | Jex Opolis

Jexy is around the corner. Jexy or rather It's Me, Jexy - the third album and successor of Jex Opolis' 'midlife crisis' album Net Worth that came out on his Good Timin' label in 2020. And it surely is a good timing for a new LP from the core artist, who choses various musical approaches for It's Me, Jexy without becoming arbitrary but making the ten-tracker sound like a smooth ride through his preferences. However, when producing the album Jex Opolis had just undergone several changes: he left New York City to move back to Edmonton and basically had to break with digging routines and being surrounded by music 24/7. But in every ending is a new beginning and Jex wouldn't be the artist he is if he didn't find a way to cope with the new situation and produce an album that hits close to being home – at least musically. Shorty before the release of the ten gems Jex, whose life seemingly circles around music to 99%, speaks about Tik Tok, Wayne Gretzky, bad timin', contracts with Sven, shitty movies and crucial topics like the won back freedom of producing music, the wish to be artistically heard and seen, the blessing and the curse of social media and phones on the dancefloor, what he wishes the scene to do once clubs open properly again, and of course how the album came about. Also Jex delivers the latest art:cast giving us a sneak peak of the album and its Gem(s).

🐯📼 💊 Incoming, we’ve been waiting for this supplement crew known as @vitamineee to take over a show on our Tiger Tapes & they showed us again why, with a fine blend of gems.

Originally from France, revealed in the heart of Transylvania in the astonishing city of Cluj Napoca, now back in France since 2019, Vitamine is a twirling and energetic duo of selectors. Hungry curators behind the eponym YouTube channel they are largely inspired by the rave and alternative culture of the 90s but also by more ethnic and sunny, it’s this overflowing eclecticism that makes them subtly navigate between genres and bpms to offer a real multicultural experience between eras and rhythms, for the love of beautiful music !

Tiger Tapes 014 - Vitamine

Live recording from Fandango in The Lighthouse, Plötzensee, NYD 2023

The only sunrise closing set during the lighthouse series, Laurel & Thom took us through a powerful musical journey for the first hours of 2023. Filling the morning with joy, they conjured a collective optimism for the year ahead.

LIVE AT FANDANGO - Laurel & Thom

Among the terms that lie at the core of our shared lexicon as music lovers, “discovery” might be one of the most fundamental in expressing the drive behind each and every one of our efforts. It may seem simple, but it is a complex notion that involves many actions and sensations, from learning things and taking risks to finding rewards and building knowledge. Discovering is a quintessential part of our collective identity, a unique way of being and feeling, since unveiling parts of reality that were hidden from us is both a way of creating ourselves and the world around us.

So, when this talented discoverer of musical artifacts decided to use the Ancient Greek word for it as his moniker, he wasn’t just trying to name himself but mainly to come up with a precise definition for what he is and does as an artist.

Thus, Anacalypto can be many things at once, the main one being exactly what guides every single one of his initiatives and animates relentless dancing journeys: that perennial sense of wonder that tapping into the unknown brings into our lives.
