Celsius Drop
11.03.22
On his weekly Celsius Drop show, dublab co-founder Frosty guides you through an exploration of the vast Future Roots music spectrum. For this episode of Celsius Drop, the tables were turned as Frosty was home nursing a cold and special guest Felix Kubin was broadcasting live from the new dublab HQ..
Felix Kubin is a Hamburg-based artist, whose various experiments and activities include radio art, futurist experimental pop as well as chamber orchestra music, incendiary performer, record label owner, lecturer and curator. He began recording and performing electronic 4-track-music at the age of 12 and was soon discovered by Alfred Hilsberg, founder of the seminal German punk/electronic label Zickzack. In the last 20 years he has performed at countless international festivals and venues such as Sonar, MoMA PS1, Jeu de Paume Paris, MaerzMusik, CTM, Moers Festival, Présences Electroniques and Ars Electronica. In 2010 he appeared on the cover of the British music magazine WIRE. Apart from commission works for orchestras, film and theatre, he has invented new radio formats like the “Call Centre for Destruction” and “Me & My Rhythm Box” (DOCUMENTA 14). In 2019, the French film maker Marie Losier shot the award-winning film portrait “Felix in Wonderland” which ran on festivals all over the world and on French-German ARTE TV.
Felix Kubin is currently an artist in residence at Villa Aurora.
