SUBOTNIK
In Stereo
Subotnik? This is neither a Russian spy satellite
nor an ice hockey team from Moscow. Completely wrong! Subotnik just
sounds perfectly like “a musical October Revolution”
(?). The official German dictionary says: ”Subotnik, the -[s],-s:
(old) in former GDR work, done by volunteers with an ambitious effort.”
It’s one thing Subotnik have in common with these volunteers:
Their maximum engagement in their music. For them making music just
begins when others already left the stage or studio. Subotnik are
a live band. At one time they were tired of all these rock and pop
music stereotypes like „Stuttgart – can you hear me“
and similar clichés. They started experimenting with their
equipment, incorporating some concepts of popular contemporary club
music. Although all the sounds of their instruments can be generated
by a single laptop Subotnik are absolutely convinced that the original
instruments sound a thousand times cooler. From now on they did
what a journalist called „live music with a DJ conception“.
Therefore their shows are like 2 or 3 sets rather than just a sequence
of songs.
They produce as well relaxing as exciting downtempo chill-out lounge
music which sometimes reminds on “Vienna-style” or sometimes sounds
a bit like Moloko. These 5 musicians play with instruments from
the past 40 years, like i.e. Fender Rhodes, Moog, Hohner Clavinet
D6, samplers, drum computers, analogue synthesizers, guitar, bass,
drums, turntables… creating their unique sound. For all those needing
even more visual excitement a professional VJ produces the convenient
pictures.
