Beschreibung zur Veranstaltung:
Am 13. November gibt's einen Megahorst der Superlative.
KILLEKILL lädt mit seinen alten Verbündeten von Leisure System zwei ganz, ganz Große in den Horst.
JIMMY EDGAR ist Futurist. Funk Futurist.
"If Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Fergie had any sense, their million dollar booties would have Jimmy Edgar on speed dial already."
So sagt es das Album-Info, und da ist sicher was dran. Denn Jimmy Edgar's Musik ist gar nicht von so weit entfernt von deren, nur in gut.
Der Musiker - der übrigens nebenbei auch Mode für einige große Magazine photographiert - spielte bereits mit 14/15 Jahren mit den üblichen Detroiter Verdächtigen Electro in den Clubs vor Ort und hatte mit "my beats" damals schon ein Electrofunk-Monster geschaffen, das es locker mit all dem anderen Krams aus der Ecke aufnehmen konnte.
Mit 18 wurde er von WARP gesignt, wo er weiter von sich Reden machte, und nun, in diesem Jahr, hat er mit "XXX" sein Meisterwerk auf dem nicht weniger sagenumwobenen Label K7 abgeliefert. Seine Musik hat sich von den reinen Club-Tracks zum Songwriting hin entwickelt: Funk, Electro, Pop, Irgendwie alles dabei. Und zwar in bester Manier.
Mehr zu lesen gibt es in der Biographie unten.
Wie das bei JIMMY EDGAR dann aber live aussieht, kann man sich in den Videos angucken. Und das sagt eigentlich am meisten aus, denn darum geht es ja hier. Um die zu erwartende saugute Show dieses noch jungen Talents.

CHRIS CLARK ist der zweite Headliner an diesem Abend. Dieser gehört unzweifelhaft zum Besten, was es in Sachen experimenteller Tanzmusik gibt.
Die unglaubliche Klangästhetik seines letzen Albums - vergleichbar in seiner Einzigartigkeit höchstens mit Werken von Aphex Twin, Autechre oder Cristian Vogel - hat nicht nur die Presse in totale Verzückung versetzt:
"it?s the best dance music we?ve heard in 2009. Simple ? sagte das englische Clash Magazine.
"? it's simply awesome ? in every sense of the word.? sagte Mixmag.
Vielmehr kann man dazu zwar sagen, muss man aber nicht. Unten ebenfalls die Info, für die, die mehr wissen wollen.
INFO Jimmy Edgar - XXX
Lover. Fighter. Prophet. Freak magnet. Time-traveler. Musician, photographer and
designer Jimmy Edgar is a wayward star-child streaking across the cosmic dancefloor.
Endowed with a supernatural feel for futuristic funk, the Detroit native has been bleeping and grinding about the Milky Way since he was a teenage
humanoid. While his peers were worrying about their grades and popularity Edgar was spinning alongside his hometown's DJ heroes and programming intricate
beats that were unquestionably interplanetary communication disguised as dance music.
In 2001 at the tender of 18, his hyper-sexed microchip stylings caught the ear of Warp, where he cranked out his brand of amped-up laptop funk for the next eight
years, culminating in the full-length classic Color Strip. Now 26, Edgar is shaking things up at German beat boutique !K7. "When I was 18 and signed with Warp,
my next goal was !K7 for some reason. I believe I attracted !K7 to me through the 'Law of Attraction'. I think this is going to be an incredible journey." The new
album XXX is out June 21 and its New Jack Swing winks as much at Minneapolis, Compton and Paris as it does Detroit or Berlin.
On new turf, Edgar's sonic prowess takes on a leaner, more radio-ready shine.
The instrumental interlude "One Twenty Detail", runs Kraftwerk through a lowrider worthy break-beat filter and "Vibration" sounds like pornographic Morse Code
tapped out by Egyptian Lover.
While the album is largely a one-man show, XXX is not without accomplices. A Russian girl named Anet sings on "Physical Motion" and a rising new R&B singer
from NYC signed to XL recordings Azealia ad libs on the same track. "Whenever I have worked with women and art, they have this way of putting balance into
everything." The album's sophistication should come as no surprise, considering the mix of elements that factored in its creation. "Celibacy. Love and Loss. Two
relationships. Home studio on mostly analog equipment, finished digitally. Some recorded on tape. Some recorded frustrated, sick, broke, pissed off, in love."
Referring to other influences, Edgar adds, "I learned piano from black dudes at the Baptist church in Detroit. They taught me to extend my fingers and play from the
heart." As for Kraftwerk, the Belleville Three and the rest of the early electronic pioneers he says, "Those guys were tryin to make Stevie Wonder more danceable.
They were tryin to make Prince with that equipment. That is what I do essentially." What Edgar does essentially and very well is make your body move.
Incapable of standing still for very long himself, the ever-restless Edgar is eager to take his musical peep show on the road this summer. "I designed 12 florescent
neon tubes to make an "XXX" on stage."
Ultimately, the best thing about Jimmy Edgar's intergalactic funk is that for all its mystical kink, it's solidly the kind of music you could easily imagine today's pop
tarts making. If Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Fergie had any sense, their million dollar booties would have Jimmy Edgar on speed dial already.
