Amon Tobins music featured in Pina Bausch film by Wim Wenders

Some time ago, Amon Tobin was approached to contribute several pieces of music for an innovative dance theatre performance titled "Vollmond (Full Moon)" by the late celebrated German avant-garde dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch. The work was staged at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Fall 2010 and left audiences absolutely floored. Renowned German film director Wim Wenders, known for such modern classics as Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire, and Buena Vista Social Club, created a truly breathtaking film paying tribute Pina Bauschs fearless artistic spirit titled PINA. The film features works by the late choreographer interwoven in a visually arresting manner in 3D. An avid supporter of Amons music, Wenders used several of Amons tracks as part of the heart-stopping soundtrack for the film. PINA has its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) in February 2011.

Formresonance presents: The Chaenge

A stunning surprise is awaiting: label director Florian "The Voice" Schirmacher developed something completely out of the box together with the living Techno legend Mijk van Dijk: The CHAENGE. After the preliminary release of the single "Love Devotion" on David Carrettas Label Space Factory, now follows the debut album "Rebellion". Funk is back? – Its never been gone! They manage a synthesis of camp, irony, elegance, seriousness and a wink of a surprising turn in thier songs. The CHAENGE should be seen as a neatly tailored colorful kaleidoscope. The carefully chosen cover version of André Cymones "Dance Electric" (written by none other than Prince) proves their courage to raise their music to a new and higher level. The essence and spirit of funk is preserved and transformed into the current club culture. Their compositions draw a rich picture full of musicality and passion. They speak with one voice and create a synthesis that forms a character: The CHAENGE is our "Rebellion".
