The Ostgut label presents a meeting of classic ballet and modern electronic music on
Shut Up and Dance! Updated
. The Berlin Staatsballet joins forces with minimal techno mecca Berghain as the venue for exploring new terrains and as a homebase for the Ostgut Ton label. On June 27th, five members of the Staatsballett will perform choreographies specially made for electronic music, and specially composed for this occasion. The musical results work equally well outside of the venue. Regular guests such as
nsi.
(aka
Tobias Freund
and
Max Loderbauer
),
Sleeparchive
,
Âme
,
Luciano
and
The 7th Plain
(aka
Luke Slater
) have contributed exceptional and fascinating pieces, and all are exclusive to this release. Their spectrum ranges from nsi.'s low frequencies and abstract sounds, Sleeparchive's icy minimalism, Âme's epic, repetitive arrangements reminiscent of
Philip Glass
, to Luciano's humorous house grooves, and last but not least, Luke Slater's beatless ambient track under his The 7th Plain moniker. Considering the variety of all tracks, they work astonishingly well as an album, with each artist independently developing their piece, with no instructions on how the music should sound. Eventually, they all opted for a calmer, hypnotic sound (the most club-friendly track, Luciano's "Drunken Ballett," will be released on vinyl including a
Moritz von Oswald
remix). This is how Luciano describes his approach: "
Before I started producing the track, I brought the dancers to mind: how they merge with the sound, how their bodies move to the music and what kind of music should come out of the speakers. I wanted to put dance music in relation to modern dance and I wanted to make physical movement and music correspond to each other
." The flirtation between high art and entertainment was very inspiring and enriching to everyone involved.
