Dance Floor of Democracy: Afterparty@HALL

Oktoobri algul koguneb maailma ööelu Tallinna – vahetama mõtteid, inspireerima ja näitama, kuidas elujõuline öökultuur võib kujundada terve linna ja selle elanike identiteeti. Klubis HALL toimub rahvusvaheline konverents „Dance Floor of Democracy“, mis toob kokku Berliini, Amsterdami, Helsingi, Galway ja paljude teiste linnade ööelu eestvedajad.

Konverents on tasuta, kuid osalemiseks tuleb eelregistreeruda. Lisainfo ja registreerumine.

Kui arutelud lõpevad, kõneleb öö ise. HALLis kohtub Eesti Riiklik Sümfooniaorkester taas technoga – orkestri akustiline jõud liitub klubimuusika hüpnootilise pulsiga. Žanre ristav menuprojekt on tagasi ning piirid kontserdisaali ja tantsupõranda vahel kaovad. ERSO muusikute esituses kõlab Kenn-Eerik Kannikese debüütalbum „Computations“, mille on klassikalistele instrumentidele seadnud Karl Tipp.

Pärast kontserti liigub õhtu sujuvalt klubiöösse: DJ-pulti astuvad Chloe Lula (Tresor, Berliin), Miia Magia (Motto Sono Records, HE.SHE.THEY., Parabel Agency, Helsingi) ja Ciara May (Cultúr / Riot, Galway).

Kava:
• ERSO.Computations (Kenn-Eerik Kannike, arr Karl Tipp), performed by ERSO musicians
• Miia Magia (HE.SHE.THEY., Parabel Agency, Helsinki)
• Chloe Lula (Tresor, Berlin)
• Ciara May (Cultúr / Riot, Galway)

Uksed avanevad 21:30

Miia Magia - DJ, Motto Sono Records (Finland). Miia Magia's past two decades of exploring the dancefloor with her groovy and hypnotic sets has been a labour of love. The once passionate clubber, record collector and lover of the UK alternative rock sound today lights up her sets with dubbed out raw techno and classic deep house. A beautiful journey through festival stages, warehouse raves and club nights in Europe, from Iceland to Germany together with HE.SHE.THEY. (resident), Berghain, Culture Box, HALL, Department and Kesarauha. Miia is the owner of Motto Sono Records, actively running the label since 2020.Miia started out by playing at various Helsinki clubs and parties. "Club FF" became in 2004 the first club night in Semifinal's history run solely by female DJs, making Miia the pioneer that she is to this day. Miia continued trailblazing by gaining a residency in club DTM, the undisputed cornerstone or in their own words "institution of all things queer in the Helsinki nighttime", and eventually leading the massive Helsinki Pride parade for several years. At mbar, one of Helsinki's most beloved cultural hangouts, Miia's "Sound of Magic" concept became an instant classic.

She is the Senior Producer at Resident Advisor, where she hosts and produces the weekly RA Exchange video interview series and curates panels, talks and workshops for festivals like Dekmantel, Nuits Sonores, Rewire, Unsound, IMS, ADE and more.

She is a cellist, producer, composer and resident DJ at Tresor Berlin.

Ciara May - DJ, Cultúr / Riot (Ireland). Ciara May is a DJ and Cultural Producer from Galway on the west coast of Ireland, who grew up in the free party scene. Forever inspired by the collectiveness and unity created on dancefloors, she is driven to curate and create inclusive and safe spaces where the ‘girls, gays and theys’ feel comfortable to express themselves, be connected to their bodies and each other. She does this through playing percussive, fun, bouncy genres that can go anywhere from Global sounds to campy pop remixes. This same drive to create safe and inclusive spaces, led her to set up the Queer club night, Cultúr/Riot, a FINTA (female, Intersex, Trans, Agender) focused club night that celebrates Queer club culture and its impact throughout the world, while always holding the activist energy of Queer liberation movements.Ciara has been working with the Galway City Council Night-Time Economy Adviser on how to improve night time safety in the city and further afield.
