Djs on Sat 26th: Michele Riviera

As any good dj and electronic music producer/composer, Michele Riviera has an ecletic taste and has been influenced by very different genres of music, from funk to early chicago house, from italo disco to industrial, and more more more. For Occulto Fest he will show his more psychedelic and obscure side.

Boring Machines ///// distro @ OF 2012

I could now start telling you a beautiful story that starts with a minitour from Locarno to Hamburg through Berlin, and ends up in a Penthouse in Marzahn. But Occulto Fest is starting in less than 72 hours and I will save the details for another occasion.

Boring Machines is the one man label founded by Onga in 2006. In few years it has published almost 40 releases (both vinyls and CDs), almost all of them conceived by Italian musicians - with a very few exceptions. You can’t stick BM musical offer to any precise genre, still the label has its own unique style, that has been noticed and appreciated by magazines like Wire and Skug, which is a very good thing, but as we care more about music rather than about press coverage, here’s what Onga himself says about his creature:
“There isn’t a particular genre Boring Machines is interested in, but a feeling: a general taste for discomfort and anger, long meditations and psychedelic state is what Boring Machines cares of.
Boring Machines loves paper and ink and takes great care of the artworks and packaging of its records.”

And here’s a selection of artists he worked with that you might like to check if you want to go deeper: Father Murphy, My Dear Killer, Be Invisible Now!, Squadra Omega, Be My Delay, Heroin in Tahiti, Fabio Orsi, Simon Balestrazzi, Rella The Woodcutter, Satan Is My Brother
