Felix Kubin, one half of the Hamburg based futuristic
noise band KLANGKRIEG, lives and works against the rest
of the world. His activities comprise sci fi /pop/noise/animation
films/radio plays/experimental broadcasting.
His experiences both in electroacoustic music and strange
electronic pop inspired him to launch a vinyl record
label for all kinds of Dada-electronics on the edge
of pop and experimental music.
‘If there’d be one man to send to the aliens
as an example of the mankind, that’d be Felix Kubin.”
Aavikko, Finnland
Chequerboard: With the release of his accomplished
debut electronica album ‘Gothica’, Chequerboard
has set a high music mark for the year. Coupling his

background noises and accomplished regard for astute
melodies”, (The Ticket) with a quirky storybook,
Chequerboard is at the vanguard of the new wave of Irish
electronica artists.
Also featuring sets by DJ Squidbeak & Nervous
Ticket £6.00/£5.00 available from the
