We’re going live. Dock18 and starfrosch presents the
#hot100 Show
Discover an evening full of new sounds with live music, DJs, visual artists and talks. The #hot100 Show event series presents the most popular sounds and live acts from the #hot100 Charts.
There will be a live skype interview with an international artist and short inputs from members of the
Digitale Allmend, who have the lead for Creative Commons Switzerland.
Every monday our robot fetches the last month legal and downloadable Creative Commons licensed tracks from Soundcloud, Jamendo, Free Music Archive, Archive.org and ccMixter. That’s more than 15’000 tracks everytime. He runs them trough the Spam filter, sorts them by Hotrank® and spits out the #hot100 charts.
From those popular track, Radio DJ starfrosch selects the most interesting for the event. The #hot100 Show will be
live streamed to our radio. We will record the show for later release on video platforms.
For the moment we have scheduled two events. Save the dates. Come, fly or drive to Zurich for an exciting evening.
#hot100 Show Nr.1
Date: Friday April 3rd 2015
Time: 20.00-24.00 GMT+1
Live: A Virtual Friend (CH), Electro Pop
Skype Interview: Wil Benton (UK) from FKOF, Digital Journalist of the Year
Visuals: Pixelpunx (CH)
Where: Dock18, Rote Fabrik Zurich, Switzerland
Who expects gigs of a swiss band in Japan or China? A Virtual Friend (CH) plays alternative pop with influence from punk to electro genres. A mix of screaming guitars, synthetic sounds lead by a charismatic female lead singer, powered by an electro-acoustic rhythm section. A Virtual Friend’s lyrics explore the good and the ugly of human nature in an empathic way.
The visual artist and VJ Pixelpunx sees videos as an art form with an unrepeteable moment, a spontaneous interpretation and reflection of a mood.
His works transforms the mood of the entourage into a digital wallpaper, expands the room without telling a story. It’s the search of a visual translation.
#hot100 Show Nr.2
Date: Friday June 5th 2015
Time: 20.00-24.00 GMT+1
Live: Korrupt from FatKidOnFire (NL/UK), Bass
Skype Interview: ZOE.LEELA (DE), Artist
Visuals: Pixelpunx (CH)
Where: Dock18, Rote Fabrik Zurich, Switzerland
Olaf De Rooij from FatKidOnFire, more commonly known by his alias Korrupt, is a man of very many talents. The Rotterdam-based musician made his name as a DJ, producer and promoter having first discovered what he calls dark underground music in early 2004.
Soon after, he became known to the many deep, dark and minimal bass music fans on SoundCloud as the guy who left extremely detailed track reviews, often found lurking at the end of tunes on the platform. It was thanks to these reviews that he was spotted by the FatKidOnFire crew, who took him on as their in-house music critic.
