Upitup Trashcan Hits!

2011-04-12T09:18:00.001-04:00

Upitup Trashcan by Upitup Records on Mixcloud

Over the years we've produced lots of tracks that never made it onto a release cause they were too sketchy or silly and the quality sucked *ss. But some of those frankensteins actually became true basement classics, they're well known to Upitup insiders – and I wanted to share some of them with the world before we ultimately lose the files. The last track was the very first song I heard from Pierlo & friends, it made me join Upitup in 2003.... aahhhh good times.

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the greatest worst hits from the Upitup trashcan.

TONIGHT.

Hi, you haven't heard from me in a while cause I entered the world of biz. But I'll be back soon with a new album, so bare with me.

In the meantime, you should check Dragan Espenschied's new music site where he flexes his HTML5 muscles.

shit de la shit!

2010-03-08T14:15:00.003-05:00

Over the last decade, the free music scene has brought out numerous big names. Thanks to them the fact that there's an endless amount of incredibly "good" music available for free on the internet has become obvious to everybody. But of course there's also an even greater amount of incredibly shite music out there...

The good stuff isn't always easiest to find, and most users don't have time to browse through every artist's discography in order to discover the gems among their droppings. As the downfall of MySpace continues curatorship is regaining importance. Instead of plowing through songs on MySpace or Soundcloud today's users prefer sharing YouTube videos on Facebook. They just seem more interested in selected content. Netlabels experience some kind of Indian summer, receiving a lot of attention as if they were all new. They retrieve relevance as a source for presenting the hot. Berlin held a Netaudio Festival last year. New York's WFMU has created the Free Music Archive, "a social music website built around a curated library of free, legal audio." Fuck me sideways, the scene is a scene again!

That's why six of the most original netlabels have teamed up for one release – each label presenting three of their favorite tracks from their own catalog – to celebrate the idea of free music, and to simply bring you the shit de la shit!
Up it up, Ego Twister, Peppermill, Proot, Cock Rock Disco, and WM Recordings share similar backgrounds and philosophies, and they are proud to present their "Greatest it". You might happen to know all of the 18 smash hits but if you don't you better catch up, Mr. caveman. This might indeed be the flyest compilation on the internet.

The labels' idea was also to share audiences by introducing / pointing out each other. It's understood that it's ridiculously difficult choosing your 3 favorite tracks from a whole catalog so consider this the tip of the iceberg.

We love giving away our music because we believe the best things in life should be free – like the air you breathe or sunlight or sex (ideally). Please share this release with your friends or blog about it.

Go get it at one of the labels involved:
Up it up!
Ego Twister
Peppermill
Proot
WM Recordings
Cock Rock Disco

Good stuff going on

Digital Folklore

2009-12-06T17:05:00.004-05:00

Yo dudes, pay attention now. Internet artists/theorists Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied just released Digital Folklore, a must-have under your christmas tree.
The book features works and texts by Cory Arcangel, Julia Böger, Manuel Buerger, Helene Dams, Dragan Espenschied, Jörg Frohnmayer, Mark Grimm, Christopher Heller, Yunchul Kim, Dennis Knopf, Stefan Krappitz, Florian Kröner, Tobias Leingruber, Olia Lialina, Leo Merz, Bernadette Neuroth, o+ro, johannes p osterhoff, Isabel Pettinato, Michael Ruß, Theo Seemann, Alexander Schlegel, Bert Schutzbach, and Siegfried Zielinsky.

It was designed by M-Boy aka Dr. Fun aka Manuel Buerger and is your new favorite book, guaranteed.

Here's the press release:
Technical innovations shape only a small part of computer and network culture. It doesn't matter much who invented the microprocessor, the mouse, TCP/IP or the World Wide Web; nor does it matter what ideas were behind these inventions. What matters is who uses them. Only when users start to express themselves with these technical innovations do they truly become relevant to culture at large.

Users' endeavors, like glittering star backgrounds, photos of cute kittens and rainbow gradients, are mostly derided as kitsch or in the most extreme cases, postulated as the end of culture itself. In fact this evolving vernacular, created by users for users, is the most important, beautiful and misunderstood language of new media.

As the first book of its kind, this reader contains essays and projects investigating many different facets of Digital Folklore: online amateur culture, DIY electronics, dirtstyle, typo-nihilism, memes, teapots, penis enlargement …

If that doesn't get you booted

Hai ppl I need your help. Does anybody have Kevin Bewersdorf's track "My Sun and Moon"? Since he deleted his website I cannot download it anywhere. I know he has a video on YouTube, but I am looking for the good quality mp3. THIS IS IMPORTANT! He promised to send me the last and unreleased song "Amen Brother" from the album Babes once I recovered the files (like some kind of sick scavenger hunt). I promise I'll post it for you, so come on help me find "My Sun and Moon"!!!!

Interview

2009-05-01T13:04:00.002-04:00

Nikola Tosic did an interview with me for tosic.com
In return I did one with him:

Q how much do you love dolph lundgren?

i do not know really. in 80s and maybe even 90s he was a hero to us
kids in pre-war serbia. i have not seen many of his recent films and i
have to say i enjoy jean-claude van damme much more - ive just
finished watching blood sport and it is awesome. i think dolph was big
but never made it. jean-claude and steven seagal are definitely like
class one, with chuck norris being always a weird guy in his own
strange league.

the movie with dolph i remember most is blackjack directed by john woo
and i was actually disappointed by that movie. that particular movie
is an important point in my life - it is one of the first movies from
which my expectations were not met. movies for me before were always
great, a movie was great by default, pure pleasure, always... and i
think blackjack was the first movie when i actually checked out the
director and actors and such, like i knew something about the movie,
and i was expecting to great fun and it just did not deliver.

so dolph lundgren has this place in my life, in this movie blackjack,
as sort of a disappointment. its not his fault, i never got into john
woo... but he is related to this in my mind.

Q are you coming to stuttgart this weekend (for frühlingsfest)?

no, my girlfriend, martina, was born in stuttgart and we visited it
once when we were around, but i am not interested in visiting it again
unless theres really something super cool there (besides you). spring
festival just does not cut it for me. muenich is ok, its next to
stuttgart and i had a nice time there (if you can ignore that fruit
costs like 20 times more in germany than in serbia).

what i do regret is that on my travels around stuttgart i did not stop
in german lego land. it is my dream to visit lego land (preferably
danish one) and i was too lazy to do it then and there. i think it is
better i leave it for some later occasion and for the danish one.

Q artificial rasberry and bacon?

i dont know what is this artificial stuff. either one if its
artificial i guess. whatever.

In Real Life

2009-03-02T07:49:00.010-05:00

djeah: ill be creating a work for the upcoming clubinternet.org show on sunday, march 8th from 4 to 8pm.

"The opening will be held in the Capricious Gallery, Brooklyn, New
York, in cooperation with I Heart Photography (Laurel Ptak) on the
occasion of the In Real Life event.
The show will run for a month.

Sunday March 8th, at 4pm, the curatorial criteria will be announced by
email. The show will go online at 8pm. You are requested to make or
select a work during those 4 hours in between the announcement and
launch of the show. The process of creating the show will be presented
in the gallery."

More about In Real Life:
"An exhibition that invites innovative and independent online art initiatives to each come do a 4-hour residency inside the space of a gallery—attempting to explore how the distribution, production, analysis, and consumption of culture are rapidly evolving in an online context. In particular the exhibition aims to render the labor of these online practices transparent, providing “real life” access to these cultural producers, and overall inspiring public dialogue around their practices.

[...]

The 14 participating websites—Art Fag City, ASDF, Club Internet, Ffffound, The Highlights, Humble Arts Foundation, I Heart Photograph, Loshadka, Netmares/Netdreams, Platform For Pedagogy, Private Circulation, UbuWeb, VVORK, Why + Wherefore—represent a wide spectrum of online practices and practitioners. Among them are: online curators and critics, internet surfers, bloggers, artist collectives, and much more. These sites, and others like them, represent a truly expanded field for the discourse of contemporary art. Often they show us work, viewpoints, and voices missing from more established, “real world” venues. Overall they have pioneered forms and frameworks that offer us new ways to see, think about, and participate in contemporary visual culture......"

GPS - Great Polka Sound!

2008-05-15T03:03:00.007-04:00

Great Polka Sound (2006) was an attempt to create music using GPS information. I was wandering through a park while a GPS reciever continuously collected information about longtitude, latitude and altitude of my position, and saved them into a text file. Processing was used to to visualize the data, and to send it via OpenSoundControl to Max MSP, which converted the information into MIDI signals. Position and travelling speed changed pitch and length of the tones. The generated melody plays over a raw song structure, typical for the German genre 'Heimatmusik' ("homeland music"). Consequently, the homeland created the melody.

This work of mine was sold at the Dark Fair last friday. The price was 100 Euros (158.08 at that time). It's made of this toy which I got at Toys 'R Us on Times Square. A woman at the dark fair asked if it's connected to the NY stock exchange...

I've waited so long to be able to say this: When I was your age the internet looked like this, we said "sign on" instead of "log in", and tagging was illegal.

Still My Favorite Website

2008-03-07T10:49:00.002-05:00

I'm glad I archived my favorite website, www.toddvandell.com, a couple of years ago. I once sent him an email asking if he would make a website for me, but Todd never answered...

Another beautiful site is www.patswebgraphics.com (it still works at archive.org), Pat used to advertize on Todd's page.
