Connected through their admiration for music and embracing the joy of life, Joblyn & Kurtovic (@joblyn_kurtovic) teamed up to share their emotions to an interested crowd. It is safe to say, that through their love for driving peak-time performances, this duo makes sure to get large floors moving. Be invited to move back in time and allow yourself to relive the Dawn Of The Cat..

Joblyn & Kurtovic @ Tal der Verwirrung - Dawn Of The Cat - #060

Moonstruck breaks and stripped-down bridges are counterpointing teasing drum rolls and a very straightforward arrangement, evoking the listener's distant, dreamlike memory of arriving too late for something which hasn't yet actually happened - a story that Blindsmyth (@blindsmyth) is not too shy to croon about, using his signature blend of poetic language combined with his angelic voice.

Joblyn & Kurtovic - Mensch Meier Closing (recording Tal, Nov 2023)

Long overdue debut of genre-defining key figure M.RUX (@MRUX) on Tal der Verwirrung. Ever tried dancing flamenco with a young bull? This is how it sounds.

El Mirador (M.RUX Remix)

Temple Haze - El Mirador (M.RUX Remix)

Blindsmyth (@Blindsmyth) turns the tide as hypnotic arpeggios and syncopic stabs immediately create traction, while laid-back claps and gloomy melodies form the emotive counterparts.  This combination creates forceful tension and ultimately peaks, when an ethereal guitar solo dissolves into enchanting pads and drops into what can only be described as his inimitable main room formula.

B1 Blindsmyth - Zwischenwelten (Original Mix) [TAL012]

Moonstruck breaks and stripped-down bridges are counterpointing teasing drum rolls and a very straightforward arrangement, evoking the listener's distant, dreamlike memory of arriving too late for something which hasn't yet actually happened, a story that Blindsmyth (@blindsmyth) is not too shy to croon about with his signature blend of poetic language combined with his angelic voice.

Nach Hause Gehn

A1 Blindsmyth - Nach Hause Gehn (Original Mix) [TAL012]

This is how it sounds to come back, to return, to finally arrive in that one place that fate has long determined for oneself. The closing track of this release is nothing but a gentle hug, a friendly reminder that everything can be achieved, and no task is actually too big to handle, even if it might seem so. Shimmering synths, pearly pads and a bubbly base stitch together the most otherworld vibe, into which Blindsmyth howls in what might be the eternal torture of existence, using the striking power of his vocal expression. But the ones who listen closely have no doubt, that under all that crystallized darkness we find a kaleidoscope of colors.

Two makes a party! – at least in this case. Having lost their hearts to electronic music while DJing and producing for quite some time now, the Berlin-based duo has started turning tables together in 2017. As part of the Tal der Verwirrung family – Joblyn being part of it from scratch – the boys have already grooved their ways through venues like Kater Blau, Rummelsbucht or Mensch Meier. Their progressive technoid sound makes your heart literally beat faster!

IMPROVISED LIVE TECHNO
Psychedelic / Groove / Techno
Berlin | Germany


If you love techno, you can't vote right. On a real techno floor, you can be free no matter who you are, if you respect the freedom of all others. Right politics stand for the opposite. if you want this culture to sustain, please get informed and stand up against this oppression.  
So FCK AFD! and be loud against all the populist, right-wing parties around the globe.  They promise you a better future, but history can teach you better. <3

My approach to my music: 
I love loopy and trippy techno. When dancing, I love to let go of everything around me and enter into a deeper dialogue with myself. At this stage, I am 100% in tune with myself. This works for me when the groove drives me and the elements I hear are interesting but not too intrusive. That's exactly what I love to create on the floor.

To achieve this and also to create the necessary element of surprise, I combine different loops randomly and blindly. Since I never know exactly what will happen, I am also surprised and inspired by it. 

If you want to see how it works check out my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@KenjiTanaka_Official




My instruments:
-Drums (TR8S)
-Bass (Modular)
-Rumble Bass (TR8S)
-Atmos (Fieldrecorder, Drumrack, Ableton)
-Synth 1 (MicroMonsta 2)
-Synth 2 (Polysix VST, Ableton)
-Vocal Samples (Ableton)
-Misc Samples (TR8S)


More nerdy Information:
For each of these instruments, I have prepared about 30 different loops, most of them 1 bar long.
Using the Streamdeck and a self-built ‘Max for Live Tool’, I can select a completely random loop for each instrument with the push of a button. The tonality can be set. To make sure it’s not completely random, I can choose between different categories, such as chords/arpeggiator.
I can control the complexity of the loop using controls.

All instruments run through Ableton (RME Fireface UCXii). With the help of ‘Launchcontrol’ and 2x ‘Midifighter Twister’, I can control all the parameters that are important to me. Filters, reverb, random delay and pitch effects glue everything together.

When playing, I rely on my intuition. I can sense what should happen 2-4 bars in advance. If I feel like I want to hear a new chord pattern, I press a button and let myself be surprised. If I like it, I develop it further. If I don’t like it, I move on.

Since the whole structure is improvised, I am correspondingly excited before the gigs. Because almost nothing can be planned in advance. My biggest clue is whether I dance. If I get myself to move and get lost, I am happy with what happens.

Ort, Zeit und Raum für Tanz, Spiel, Performanz, allerlei Kunst und Kreativa.
