Dekmantel start Go Bang! in OT 301 met modern-funk sensatie DâM FunK

Vanaf september zal Dekmantel verschillende feesten organiseren waarbij specifieker ingezoomd wordt op haar muzikale voorkeuren. Een van deze nieuwe feesten draagt de naam Go Bang! (vernoemd naar de gelijknamige disco cult-hit van Arthur Russell) en vindt plaats in underground hotspot OT 301. Op Go Bang! zal muziek buiten de reguliere house en techno aan bod ko...men: verwacht een gevarieerde mix van disco, boogie, afro, soul en aanverwante stijlen.

Vrijdag 3 september staat de eerste editie gepland met een wel heel bijzondere act: Stones Throw producer DâM FunK zal samen met zijn volledige live band Master Blazter een Amsterdams debuutoptreden verzorgen.

Wie denkt dat boogie en electro-funk vandaag de dag hun langste tijd hebben gehad moet de afgelopen jaren onder een steen hebben gelegen. De uit Los Angeles afkomstige DâM FunK heeft namelijk eigenhandig een wereldwijde herwaardering voor de genres teweeg gebracht met zijn reïnterpretatie van het klassieke op drumcomputers en synthesizers gebaseerde jaren '80 geluid. De release van zijn vijfdelige album Toeachizown (op het indie label Stones Throw) sloeg in als een bom en ten gevolge daarvan bezocht hij de laatste maanden iedere uithoek van de wereld om zijn "modern-funk-evangelie" te verkondigen als deejay. Voor Go Bang! heeft de beste man echter een verrassing in petto, hij zal samen met backing band Master Blazter (bestaande uit J-1 en Computer Jay) verschijnen voor een volledige live-set.

Muzikale ondersteuning wordt die avond geleverd door het Dekmantel duo Casper Tielrooij & Thomas Martojo. Beide heren zullen voor de gelegenheid diep in de collecties graven om het publiek te voorzien van hun vergeten platenparels uit de jaren '70 en '80.

ADRIFT IN TOKYO Leading a lazy life, Fumiya has been an university student for 8 years and owes money to loan sharks. One day, a man named Fukuhara comes to collect the loan, which he cannot pay. So Fukuhara makes a proposition: He will cancel the debt as long as Fumiya agrees to walk with him across Tokyo to the police station of Kasumigaseki, where he intends to turn himself for a crime he deeply regrets. Not having much choice, Fumiya accepts the deal. Thus begins their journey.
ADRIFT IN TOKYO is essentially a film without a huge or complicated plot, just a very thin, sketchy one....but instead of a gigantic and complicated plot it has a series of adventures which unfold in the way that life unfolds. It is like a road film but without a car, just two characters who walk the streets of Tokyo, roaming and coming across strange events and people. The film is bittersweet (a bit like an autumn day), surreal and haunting. It is based on the humorous novel by Yoshinaga Fujita which in a free form manner reflects upon the absurdity of life. As one viewer said: "If Jim Jarmush were Japanese, Adrift in Tokyo could be his signature piece."

ANTONIO GAUDI A visual documentary with very few words, just flowing images, by the great Japanese director Teshigahara (Woman in the Dunes). I have screened this one once before but its a meditative beauty, and what better film as a followup to a film about drifting through Tokyo than a film about drifting through Barcelona looking at the architecture of Gaudi?
The cinematography of this film is astounding, and shows us the buildings of the surreal Spanish architect Gaudi from afar, and up close in exquisite detail. Mercifully, the film is almost entirely free of taking-head commentary, and there is no narration to distract the viewer from the bizarre and beautiful subject matter. Its almost as if Teshigahara chose not to use words out of reverence to Gaudi's visual genius, as if he wouldn't allow words to interfere with the pure images. The interiors are as fantastic and surreal-looking as the exteriors...and they must be seen to be believed. A haunting musical score by Takemitsu nicely compliments the eerie beauty of the film.

Jason Urick is highly regarded in the Baltimore music and arts scene, through his work in WZT Hearts, and at the Floristree Space where he has curated many shows and festivals. "Fussing and Fighting" follows his solo album debut "Husbands", and finds Urick pushing his music farther forward with new experiments in rhythm and sonic space.

SPACE SIREN    
Layered guitars and a sweet succulent voice pull you in and spit you out.

LUSHUS    
Like the Slits sweeping Deerhoofs floor with the Chicks on Speed, Eine grosse Nachtmusik.

ZEA
High energy guitar songs with urgent lyrics on punky beats and grimy bass lines. Joyfully obstinate, wonderfully bonkers.

ZOPPO  
Battering, whining guitar noise, rolling on a melancholic but chiming melody.

FINE CHINA SUPERBONE  
Sounds like godzilla doing math in a school floating on a mud stream.

Milano Calibro 9:Milano Calibro 9 is the first in a trilogy of films followed by La mala ordina and Il Boss. Even though Milano Calibro 9 wasn’t one of the first Italian crime films, its lasting impact is undeniable as it the tone and style for all Italian crime films that followed it. Several Euro-cult regulars appear in this film including Mario Adorf, Gastone Moschin, Barbara Bouchet, Frank Wolff, Luigi Pistilli and Lionel Stander. This film is filled with a superb cast of colorful characters with the character Rocco Musco played by Mario Adorf being the one that stands out the most as he nearly steals the whole show with his maniacal over the top portrayal of a Mafioso. One has to wonder if Martian Scorsese ever saw Milano Calibro 9 because Joe Pesci’s Tommy DeVito performance in Goodfellas bears a strong resemblance to the Rocco Musco in Milano Calibre 9. Overall the acting in this film is first rate. The action is fast and furious and the violence is brutal and bloody. Fernando Di Leo’s direction is pitch perfect as every frame and moment unfolds effortlessly into the next. There are a few interesting plot twists along the way that lead up to an ending that is truly unforgettable. Overall Milano Calibre 9 is one the best examples the Italian crime genre has to offer.

Il boss Italy, 1973, the mob has been fractured by heavy police involvement in all of their forms of business. All of the old leaders have left for hiding, leaving behind their Lieutenants which has caused an immense amount of destabilization. There’s no order to the crime world anymore and all of the younger captain’s are taking aim at their new bosses in order to form a more stable union. After the massacre of several rival mob bosses in a theater, Don Giuseppe (Claudio Nicastro), a captain under Don Corrasco (Richard Conte) who gave the order, has recently had his daughter kidnapped by the villainous Cocchi (Pier Paolo Capponi) who plans on getting his hands upon Giuseppe in order to torture information out of him while eventually going after Corrasco’s empire. The one thing they didn’t count on though is Nick Lanzetta (Henry Silva), a cold blooded and calculating hit man who will stop at nothing to protect the family. Nick hits the streets and before long he’ll find these men… and make them pay!

JACK SMITH AND THE
DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS A magnificent documentary portrait about one of the most profound artists of the last century. Jack Smith was simultaneously hailed as the founding father of performance art, was critically recognized as a master photographer, and was one of the most revolutionary filmmakers of his day. He had a huge impact on the modern art world, though most people today have never even heard of him.
At the tender age of 20 Jack Smith left home and went to NYC. During the late 50s he started with photography but soon found himself involved in avant-garde theatre. This lead to his work in cinema where he could let his fantasies run wild. Smith created his own deranged world of trash-baroque aesthetics, and they were featured heavily in his incendiary film Flaming Creatures, a film (described as a 'a comedy set in a haunted movie studio') which broke the censorship laws and was banned throughout America. But although Flaming Creatures was famous, no one was allowed to see it...and although Jack’s performances were notorious within the art world, he himself was living in dire poverty. This film is a great collection of interviews with people that knew him, mixed with archival footage and narrated with audio recordings that Smith made just before he died.
His legacy can be seen in artists like Andy Warhol, Nan Goldin, Mathew Barney, John Waters, performance artist Paul McCarthy, even Federico Fellini, David Lynch, Cindy Sherman, Robert Wilson, Laurie Anderson, etc. The list of artists that acknowledge his influence is endless. One critic has stated 'Jack Smith is the hidden source of practically everything that's of any interest in the so-called experimental theatre today.'
As Nayland Blake states: “So many contemporary artists trace their practice back to Warhol at this point, and a lot of the important ideas in Warhol come from Jack.” John Waters says: “He did it all first. He started something that other people took and became more successful with.” John Zorn puts it more bluntly: "Jack Smith was the real Warhol."
This is a multi-faceted documentary featuring interviews with John Zorn, Jonas Mekas, John Waters, Sylvere Lotinger, Tony Conrad, Mike Kelly, George Kuchar, Robert Wilson and many others. This film is an absolute must....so hope to see you there!

SPIDER BABY What film could I possibly add to a Jack Smith film to make a double feature? I guess the answer is the legendary cult film SPIDER BABY.
Jack Hill's black and white horror-comedy influenced numerous films, including Blue Velvet's ear found in the meadow. Spider Baby is about an inbred family cursed with the mysterious degenerative  "Merrye's Disease", which transforms even sweet children like Elizabeth, Virginia, and Ralph into murderous cannibals. The great Sig Haig is wonderful as the overgrown "baby" of the family. Lon Chaney Jr. has one of his last great roles as the chauffeur of the family who is determined to protect the pack of inbreeds he works for.
Director Jack Hill, whose films range from horror (Switchblade Sisters) to Blaxploitation (Coffy), made sure in Spider Baby to balance comedy with horror to create a weird blend which ends up being a kind of black humor slightly similar to Lynch's Eraserhead. Along with Tod Browning's Freaks, Spider Baby is considered one of the most bizarre cult films of all time. Its also loved by many musicians including Mike Patton and Rob Zombie.

THE DEVILS Set in the 17th Century, the priest Father Grandier leads the congregation of the church in the city of Loudun, France. He was reported to be an extremely handsome man, and soon the women at the nunnery start having sexual dreams at night involving Father Grandier. The conclusion? That Father Grandier is the devil and that he is trying to possess them.

The political landscape is set under the court of Cardinal Richelieu, and a witch-hunter is sent to the city to exorcise the priest. A film about sexual hysteria and political intrigue, which is stunningly photographed and brilliantly acted. Its amazing that such big actors agreed to star in such an over-the-top, transgressive film...but its wonderful that they did because it lends an elegance to the proceedings which is totally unique. Everyone thinks that things are so democratic and free these days....when we are actually living under very heavy censorship. Wanna see something made 40 years ago which would never be allowed to be made by a major studio today? Pure cinematic dynamite. And beyond all that, the set designs were created by the great British filmmaker Derek Jarman.
