Announcing! Event Part 2: DJ Café ‘Klubb FLO’ preview (19-23)
Yesterday saw disclosing the Conversation Café, part one of our Twestival, with our three conversation starters and presenters Thomas Bjelkeman, Anna Lindberg and Thomas Selig, from 16 to 19.
Beyond the conversation, we get even more chilled out, and see a soundtrack of the conversation evolve through our two guest DJ’s A2R and Dunn. They are in the loop of establishing this year’s new club concept from NEMCOM (Norrköping Electronic Music Community), called “Klubb FLO” (Club FLO in English).
The Cultural Norrköping - grassroot and high end
Norrköping is a city filled with alot of “grassroot’s culture” initiatives, sometimes emerging to three day festivals representing the front-end of the multitude of expressions coming with the new tools and approaches in the digitalized society like New Media Meeting and whole cultural nights (“Kulturnatten”). At the less “grassroot” part, we also have a Symphony Orchestra, SON, and our own regional theatre Östgötateatern, the biggest county theatre in Sweden.
But in the grassroot part, we have club concepts and promotors like pop and rock Republik and hard rocking the Crash, bands and constellations like Sirqus Alfon, Slagsmålsklubben and Den Svenska Björnstammen, and record studios and labels like Grammofon. Further on, we have the arty film and media producers Sitcom Collective, the summer outdoor movie association and Fall film festival organizers Flimmer, the art association Kifin and the jazz/blues/folk music association Crescendo. Truly a vibrant and pluralistic cultural environment in Norrköping, to say the least.
NEMCOM - and an exclusive preview of the new club concept FLO
When choosing cultural event to include in our session, it only felt natural for us to cooperate with NEMCOM, since I am active in many dimensions in the cultural association (lastly a part of the DJ/Act/Artist lineup committee arranging electronic picnics “PomPom i Parken”, and DJing numerous times on the events, and now a part in arranging the new club concept).
We welcome the two driving musical forces behind the up-and-coming club concept Klubb FLO - Alex Wigforss and Jimmy Landby, and their blend of ambient-to-skanking dubstep, eventually moving over to the rougher and tougher creativity ride of drum’n'bass, jungle and UK garage. They go by the artist names
A2R and Dunn
Entering the booth at 19:00, they provide a joint set to make the further conversations soundtracked, where we move from a Conversation Café to the more loose mingle and breakup of the convo sessions flowing into a DJ Café with these guys on the deck! The format will be similar to “Sunday Dessert” taking place first and last Sundays, and arranged by NEMCOM. In that sense, this becomes a bonus “Sunday Dessert”, the Twestival Special Feature!
