NEW EVENT - is a pop-up party concept, which parties are held in various locations in Helsinki. Opening NE was held in Restaurant Fanny early 2012, followed by a regular monthly night at Bar Om'pu.
This time NE takes the new Club Playground to use for an even bigger party level that NE has seen or done in 2012.
NEW EVENT PRESENTS:
SKINNERBOX (BPitch Control, Bachstelzen, Berlin, GER)

"Skinnerbox share their leftfiled, jazzy attitude, their style that‘s genre bridging and defying at the same time. Futuristic, funky, lunatic, playful, cute, sweet and ballsy – just when you think you can put your finger on it, they swing a left turn and you can‘t help but nodd your head with a smile on your face: yes, this still exists!
People´s natural curiosity pointed towards these two guys with a vintage analog synth and bad haircuts playing in the park had led them to start perform their music in several small venues in Berlin, attracting more and more attention due to their completely improvised and live played uplifting show.
As for 2011, Skinnerbox are proud to be one of the year's signings of the well known berlin based label "BPitch Control".
Skinnerbox are also the makers of the "sbx 2049", a virtual drum machine software, officially released by Ableton in June 2010 and thus are the first artists to release their own self made - branded Ableton-live instrument.
All these distinct details can be heard on their various releases from the last years, but far better in their live sets. Skinnerbox are an experience, taking you on expedition full of soul, breaking house, hard-edged techno-jazz and ambient electronica futurism.
For 2012 - their brand new and third BPC release, the 4-track digital EP God Is Fading is out now. As if it were the most natural thing in the world and for Skinnerbox, perhaps it is Olaf and Iftah combine marvellous driving house beats and bass lines, prickly percussion, sparkling synth arpeggios and weirdly playful souvenirs of silent films into epic electronica artworks that strike an equal balance of catchiness and originality. Skinnerbox left behind simple dance floor functionality long ago. All four, previously released tracks on "God Is Fading" are pure cerebral cinema with a dramatic plot and a final twist!"
