Guide: Present Perfect - 2017

From July 28 to July 30 in St. Petersburg, the Present Perfect Festival festival will be held for the third time. For three days, more than 50 musicians from all over the world will perform at several city venues: from the ancestor of Aisid House DJ Pierre to Actress, one of the most noticeable signatures of the Ninja Tune label of recent years. Colta.ru compiled a guide for the festival.

Nick Actress was chosen by a black man named Darren Cunningham, who has been writing music that avoids any genre labels for more than ten years. The post -Dodabstepsteper, drowning in Echo and otherworldly noises, pulsing the bass in the spirit of John Carpenter, the hypnotic infusion of Detroit techno - after the classic of Russian rock, he takes his where he will see his own. At the same time, the authorship of his tracks is obvious even when he works under other pseudonyms: the music of Canningham is almost always inherent in a dark and sometimes oppressive atmosphere of a metropolis, in which there are very few space left for a person. This is also true for his last album “AZD” , where there was a place for both the avant-garde techno and the joint track with the London Contemporary Orchestra Academic Ensemble, and the Law Faid Embressor in the Spirit of the Early Aphex Twin . According to Cunningham himself, electronic music using the same sounds of the Roland TR -909 rhythm machine is outdated; It will be recklessly missing the performance of one of the musicians standing on her front flank.
