> "RIGA-91" Flashback to the acid revolution in USSR
>  72 min. I.Ivanov, St Petersburg, 2005
>  A bunch of acidhouse neophytes from St.Petersburg go to Riga (Latvia) 
> with a shabby first model red "Zhiguli", where they meet a similar 
> bunch from Moscow and throw a series of house parties for the locals, 
> hungry for new ecstatic dance craze.
>  A Hi8 video camera jumps from hand to hand, fixing moments of reality 
> far gone to a faraway history by now. In 1991 Soviet Union fell apart, 
> tanks were roaring on the streets of Moscow. But you don't see much of 
> political turmoil of the time in the film. What you see is happy 
> people dancing and having fun on the streets, on the beaches of Baltic 
> Sea, in clubs, day and night. And the city, the people and the police 
> respond to this in their own way...
>  Riga-91 is a real time document of the Perestroika-driven Soviet 
> Union, as seen through the eyes of idealistically motivated fun 
> seeking party activists.
>  The raw material was edited for the first time in 2005.

> New Composers (St.Petersburg)
>  Valery Allakhov of a cult electronic music project New Composers from 
> Russia, appears in Holland for the first time since the beginning of 
> the nineties. 
>  The New Composers are Valera Alakhov and Igor Veritchev from St. 
> Petersburg. 1983 they started to combine music, words and sounds by 
> using the material of Soviet mass culture: radio, propaganda films and 
> TV. 
>  In 1989 the New Composers started to set up with their friends the 
> first Russian techno rave parties in squatted buildings and later on 
> in the Leningrad Planetarium. Valera and Igor have produced, since 
> they started to collaborate with each other, many musical projects in 
> and outside Russia; for example in Liverpool, Rotterdam and Helsinki. 
> Their music combines easy listening, ambient, techno and drum'n'bass 
> par excellence. New Composers are also known for the collaborations 
> with the likes of Brian Eno and Pete Namlook.
>  Valery will perform with Bob Stout, his long-time Dutch tovarish.
>  See the legend of Russian electronics live in Sugar Factory!

> Live Exchpoptrue (Paris)
>  Exchpoptrue is a French trio visiting Dance Music, from the dirty 
> electro side to synthetic pop, from mutant Italian disco to absurd 
> booty shit.2 gum-chewing bimbos singing with a useful concentrated 
> laptopper, Exchpoptrue has already convinced the underground French 
> dancefloor scene with some weird and theatrical glam shows.
>  Based in Paris, EXCHPOPTRUE consists in Christian Bouyjou, Chlo9 
> Fabre and Radha Valli, also all coming from the experimental Dance 
> Company "La Mobile Boutique". Their live show includes 3 or 4 Go-Go 
> dancers.
>  Exchpoptrue have taken away from that experience a keen sense of 
> representation peculiar to dance, performance, playful interaction and 
> an off-the-wall interpretation of the material.  Their moves, 
> somewhere between grotesque, perverse, and steamily provocative, echo 
> their heady electro music, whose inspiration waves between an 80s 
> sound and Italian disco comically pushed to the extreme.
>  Yet behind the artificiality, the flippancy and the flash lie biting 
> texts that deal with our society as it stands, caught between 
> hypochondria, paranoia and collective madness. Exchpoptrue pushes 
> pleasure, excitement and the delights of entertainment to the very 
> limit, and tips them over into decadence.
>  Exchpoptrue is playing with the parody of the summer-hit, and
>  finally can be played in the Rimini's mainstream dancefloors and in 
> the same moment in the most underground scenes. Their fake hit 
> «Discoteca» became 1st on the MTV Italia dance floor chart during the 
> all summer 2003.
>  Exchpoptrue is still working on the label Space Factory, with the 
> great David Garretta, and also, since 2006, Exchpoptrue began 
> collaboration with the Popcornlab.
