Spy welcomes one of the biggest names in world electronic music this weekend. Berlin's Ellen Allien arrives to provide one of this year's highlights in Dublin. Not only renowned for her production and DJing, this lady is also the creator and head of the world famous BPitch Control label (which also boasts artists such as Apparat, Sascha Funke, Paul Kalkbrenner, Ben Klock and Modeselektor) and runs a fashion label which is releasing a line called 'plus' this year. I quote from her website: "... organic prints are crucial for *plus* - they represent the human body’s energy flux. hence, the name *plus* stands for the positive energy, which we all need for being happy and that never shall become subdued by negativity". But of course.....
Fashion aside, it is the music that we will be going for, and between her collaborative album with Apparat Orchestra of Bubbles and her Fabric 34 compilation of last year, there is a lot to whet the appetite. On top of that, her newest album Sool ('subtle, mysterious and minimal', according to her) goes on sale at the end of this month, so hopefully there will be a taster on offer on South William St tomorrow.
Check out a video of her in action below. The track (i.d. anyone??) and bear on a motorbike that come in around 1 min 15 are particularly evil.
