CTM & MUTEK present NAROD NIKI
Date: September 30, 2004 Venue: Volksbühne, Berlin   CTM/MUTEK present NAROD NIKI the only laptop supergroup in the world!   NAROD NIKI [INT] EGG [CA] THE MOLE [CA] Video: TRANSFORMA & PFADFINDEREI [DE]   Paralleling Berlin´s first Popkomm club transmediale, Montréal's MUTEK Festival and the Volksbuehne theatre presented the Europe-premiere of the electronic all-star band NAROD NIKI. Also for the first time in Berlin the two newcomers to Montréals flourishing micro-house scene Egg and The Mole, who swept the awards of the 2004 MUTEK, gave the night a kick-start. Berlin´s most outstanding visual-collectives Transforma and Pfadfinderei rounded out the show with a live-video environment.   NAROD NIKI is a collaboration project founded by Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin, and was presented for the first time at the 2003 MUTEK Festival. The idea of the project is to bring together a number of techno masterminds for live jams, hiding their identities behind a collective alias to keep the attention dedicated to their music. Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Dimbiman, Monolake, Cabanne, Luciano, Sun Electric's Max Loderbauer, Pete from Scion and others got together at the Volksbühne, demonstrating that realtime-improvisation and party-factor don't necessarily exclude one another. No surprise – as all names involved stand for first-class innovative dance music and feel well at home in all parts of the world with their message.   > www.mutek.ca > www.volksbuehne-berlin.de > photos on photophunk.com	> September 30, 2004
