Fulu Miziki at Pohoda in the Air

Fulu Miziki at Pohoda in the Air

We discovered the band Fulu Miziki from Kinshasa literally a few days ago; we quickly fell for their ability to find inspiration in a dump and transform it into a unique artistic statement. Fulu Miziki means “music from the garbage” in the local Lingala language. The collective of these multidisciplinary artists creates instruments from waste and tirelessly discovers new possibilities of sound in them. They also make original masks and costumes from thrown away items.  → read more

Sedem minút strachu at Pohoda in the Air

Noisecore band 7 minút strachu will also play at Pohoda in the Air. They’ve played 111 concerts and released 77 records with labels from around the world, mostly on tapes and vinyls. In addition to Central Europe they also played in America, Japan and South Korea. Their line-up includes drums, bass, sew and screamo. In their own words, they play classic haraam merzb'n roll mixed with Ulaanbaatar freejazz. Before their gig in Kubík, Consumeanddie collective wrote aptly about them: "Who released the most songs, separate albums and destroyed the most eardrums in Slovakia? These guys. 7 minutes in their name are not just for fun. They really play for 7 minutes. They can't do it longer, because no one would survive." → read more

The latter was released at the end of May. It's formally based on contemporary church music and dance electronics, and in terms of content on the themes of love, energy, joy and space. This is his third album since the beginning of the year, in addition to the record Songs of Concealed Amplitude and EP Infant Territories which he released under his other alter ego Early Millenial. → read more

TNGHT at Pohoda 2021

TNGHT at Pohoda 2021

Another reconfirmed name of Pohoda 2021 is the joint transatlantic project of Hudson Mohawke and Lunice – TNGHT. Seven years after their fantastic debut, which greatly influenced the electronics of the past decade, they’ve returned to the scene with the album TNGHT II. It’s not the kind of music suitable as background noise or music you’d hear in a café. Hud Mo and Lunice describe it as the most perfect record they’ve ever made in terms of instrumentation. The result is excellent electronics with no categories applicable. It’s a record that falls outside the market rules or the expectations of others, one the duo made on their own terms. As Hud Mo says about the album: "I think it’s a good indicator if something sounds weird and refreshing to us". → read more
