Ultraviolett
Biografía
Djing atmospheres in theatres and museums, playing prime time Techno on festivals main stages, or teaching HipHop to kids – Ultraviolett can be considered as DJ, activist, and performing arts allrounder from Berlin. 2018 Ultraviolett's will be djing for more than 20 years. Ultraviolett is part of the spatial sound collective The Hum. Disco dancer sometimes.
„Sometimes it's a 4-2-the-floor-thing, baby“, Ultraviolett is attracted to deep levels of bass, raw beats, and juicy polyrhythmn. That might have to do with their Hardcore, Jungle, HipHop, and Punk teenage days. Or simply because of the warm honesty of textual reduction. 1994-98 Bass Music was her first love. Today, club styles vary from downtempo Breaks, Bass Music, Detroit Beatdown, raw types of House to bleepy acidish Techno: Ultraviolett's club set kicks ass in an erratically understanding way. Rhythmn, womby bass, and driving clicks. As if HipHop induced House goes abstract Micro Rave, galore!
„All things we like“, Utraviolett likes a lot. Ambient, Bass Music, Noise, Translocal Classical Music, House, HipHop, Trap, New and Experimental Music, Bailefunk, Jazz, Soul, Dub, Drone, Techno. And all things bass!
Melody is not their thing, and arrives through fragile Electronica and super kitsch anthems only. If Ultraviolett is in the mood, all this would be mixed up with classical Southeastasian music, melancholic Pop songs, or whatever Ultraviolett likes currently. They call it Abstracted-Pop or Erratic-Ambient-Rave then.
