VJ Bertranol at the Clandestino Festival 2006

Bertrand Gondouin — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:48:00 +0000

The British music anthropologist, John Hutnyk, writes for example on his blogg:

The festival is radical, political and that rare glorious thing in the world of music festivalism, not at all governed by ’industry’ standards. Open ears and minds. Clandestino...!

Clandestino is now far from being a secret. Its reputation has spread, also outside Sweden-to Madrid, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, London and Beijing-where we have been working this past year. Artists that we are in contact with don’t require to be informed about the festival any longer. Information has spread at a furious speed through the network of artists, as well as the visitors that have been here.

It didn’t take long before an answer came back to us to the message that we left on San Francisco-based Micropixies’ website. The dub-legend John Wobble called us up from London when we were grabbing lunch at the restaurant Maharani at Järntorget. When the conversation slid into trying to define our musical genres, we both exclaimed, It’s so frustrating! Neither of us could pin down exactly what kind of music we were working with.

Festen fortsätter in på sena natten med mingel, dans och mer musik. DJ Wattsriot (Fun^da^mental) och DJ Mleccha (Clandestino Festival/Bwana Club) svarar för att skapa gung på dansgolvet.
