Stephen Mallinder - Technical Mix for LoneLady tour


In February and April Stephen Mallinder (CABARET VOLTAIRE/WRANGLER) joined LoneLady on tour for a series of DJ sets in support of the new album HINTERLAND.
In inviting Stephen to DJ LL aimed for a certain climate to descend for the evening…
'Technical' is the first of 3 mixtapes Stephen made, three trips through funk, techno, electronic, post punk and more…similar to but not replicating DJ sets played at the gigs, reflecting the headspaces, overlaps + contrasts in SM and LL's music.
As a fan of Cabaret Voltaire this was a delight for me..I think theirs is an innovative and great body of work …from menacing collages of totalitarian fears/fantasies to dance/electronic pop, and all the varied regions explored in between...
recognising the landscape this music comes from...the concrete labyrinth of the city with its excitements and implosions, invigorating yet out-of balance, a pressure-cooker forcing breakdown states, restless energy...
...enjoy.

Sepp Blatter to resign

“I will organise extraordinary congress for a replacement for me as president. I will not stand. I am now free from the constraints of an election. I will be in a position to focus on profound reforms. For many years we have called for reforms. But these are not sufficient.”

Pop Grenade

An adrenalin-charged trip through some of the cultural flashpoints of the past few decades, Pop Grenade celebrates the power of music as a force for change. Based on first-hand, personal reportage from raves, riots and rebellions, it explores how music has been used as a weapon in struggles for liberation and attempts to create temporary paradises. From Berlin’s anarchic techno scene after the fall of the Wall to outlaw sound systems in wartime Bosnia, from Moscow during the crackdown on Pussy Riot to New York in the militant early years of hip-hop, it tells the extraordinary stories of some of the world’s most audacious musical freedom fighters, disco visionaries and rock’n’roll rebels with a cause

"Black Angel' to be made into a full length feature

Black Angel, a crucial part of the Star Wars legacy and long-lost national treasure, is to be made into an epic new feature film with an all-star cast, nearly four decades after it was first screened as a short alongside Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980. Fans all over the world are being invited to be a part of this cinematic history by donating via crowdfunding platform, Indiegogo http://igg.me/at/blackangel, which goes live from today.
Building on its powerful 35 year legacy and mythology, Black Angel: The Feature Film will be shot in an earthy and authentic style combining high adventure with high drama hot on the heels of fantasy icons, Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games. Already attached1 as part of an A-list cast is Lord of the Rings’ star John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King) and Dutch actor Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Batman Begins, Sin City). Production is slated for September 2015, with filming locations to include Hungary, Belgium, Morocco and Scotland. The film will be directed and written by Academy Award and Oscar winner, Roger Christian (Nostradamus, Underworld, Masterminds) who also penned and directed the original short, Black Angel. Christian won an Academy Award for set decoration on director George Lucas’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) and was hand-picked by Lucas to direct the second unit on Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). Christian is widely acknowledged as a key part of the ‘Star Wars family’ of writers, directors, cinematographers and crew who have been involved in the billion-dollar franchise since the beginning.
Recognising the film’s appeal with Star Wars fans, a powerful force with an insatiable appetite, Christian has thrown down the gauntlet and invited fans the world over to be a part of the film by donating via crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.
The 45-day campaign goes live from today with a fundraising target of £66,000. Contributors will be given the chance to snap up exclusive perks, from an invite to the red-carpet premiere, to a part in the film as an extra in the Demon King’s army, an all expenses paid one-week mentorship with the audio department during the post-production process, and even the chance to own a piece of the actual film negative from the original Star Wars: A New Hope, gifted to Roger Christian by George Lucas himself. Fans and contributors are urged to act fast if they want to be a part of this unmissable cinematic voyage.
Originally commissioned by George Lucas, Black Angel, is a short film attached to screenings of the most beloved Star Wars film of all time, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, in Europe and Australia in 1980. Shot in spectacular locations in the Scottish Highlands, the 25 minute short film was produced on a shoestring budget of £25,000 in 1979. It was loved by fans and industry tastemakers the world over including Steven Spielberg who said it was “one of the most enigmatic films he’d ever seen.” Black Angel is also accredited as having significant cinematic influence on subsequent fantasy films, such as John Boorman’s Excalibur (1981). After only a brief time in theatres, all copies of the short film were somehow lost. That is, until an archivist at Universal Studios surprisingly found a negative in December 2011. The prints had wound up in the US following the collapse of UK studio Rank which, it turned out, had stored the prints along with other film negatives in World War II bunkers. Some 33 years later in October 2013, after a visual effects company restored the film frame by frame, Black Angel had its world ‘re-premiere’ as the closing film of the Mill Valley fest in California. It was also screened at the Glasgow Film Festival in Scotland and finally re-released digitally in early 2014 through iTunes, where is quickly ranked as ‘#1 short film’.
Black Angel: The Feature Film is an epic fantasy based on a Knight who undertakes a classic hero’s journey to fight the Black Angel, the Demon Kings commander in the lands of Serandal. Guided by the sorcerer Myrddin and aided by Princess Kyna, the daughter of a rival King, they take on an epic adventure to stop the darkness from taking over the lands and allowing the demon king to reign supreme.
Director, Roger Christian, said: “I wrote Black Angel as an epic adventure inspired by the great Samurai films. For the feature film I want the audience to experience the intensity of the battles where life or death is the only prize. Like the first Star Wars and Alien we are going for absolute reality, engaging the audience in the drama so they feel like they are really there in this ancient world, shot in staggeringly beautiful landscapes, ancient cities and castles. With flying demons and sorcerers, princesses and Knights, armies of the undead and an evil god of the underworld, we are filming down and dirty; ultimate realism that audiences hunger for and the world I am passionate to create on film again.”
