NarodNiki*

Post by mohson_iqbal »

Conceived by producers Ricardo Villalobos and Dimbiman (both have released recordings on Perlon), Narodniki is an 8-way improvisational laptop tag team by some of minimal techno's all-stars. The event was first presented at the MUTEK festival in 2003, and has performed several times around Europe with slightly different lineups.

Narod Niki is a very simple setup. Eight producers, each with his own laptop, equipment vinyl if your Ricardo and stand in a semi-circle. None of them is synced in anyway save for a known common tempo. One or two of them will take turns mixing the output of the other 7 into a wonderful mesh of deep free throw beats, ideas, loops and energy.

Each time this has happened, the lineup has been different. Lineups are always kept secret before the event in order to keep the element of surprise. They all seem to have been some huge names in minimal techno, though. The first lineup consisted of:

Ricardo Villalobos
Robert Henke of Monolake
Richie Hawtin
Dan Bell
Akufen
Dimbiman
Dandy Jack
Cabanne
Luciano

Sadly as the intensity of information and speed has developed the the names of the performing artists are know before the event and no production has yet been released, which was part of the orignal idea. But the Sonar line-up should throw up some interesting sounds!
