Electronic music festivals of different conceptions are being held each month for the past ten or more years around the globe, strengthening the “infrastructure” of the global electronic music scene. We are not surprised that the biggest events are being held in places so distant and diverse such as Berlin, Barcelona, Montreal, Rome, Helsinki, San Francisco, London, Tokyo and so on. But who would have thought that “experimental” electronic musicians would be soon traveling across what is known as “East Europe”, even on a regular basis? In this region, where music markets are highly undeveloped, and where Western mainstream is considered underground when opposed to the local mutant-folk, the Dis-patch festival in Belgrade (Serbia) is one of the key stops on the route.
This compilation shows the wide scope of artists who were invited, spanning from noise, just “electronica”, glitch, minimal techno, ambient or spoken word to post-rock, acoustic instrumentation, punk and even jazz. We are left with an all-star list of the contemporary scene! It is a rare opportunity to present LIVE recordings from these artists, which makes this compilation even more important, reminding us of the duality of musician’s recorded and live outputs, which are not always equally accomplished or entertaining.
Dis-patched compilation is showing that the pioneers of the scenes in the region have finally met up and made constructive contact: rx:tx and Dis-patch. The double digipack CD is accompanied by a 12-page booklet, with liner notes and exclusive photographs by Vesna Pavlovi_ and other authors.
