How is it, when there are waaay too many DJ’s swarming the former television headquarters? Not more nor less than 2 Belgians from Soulwax and 20 local disc jockeys revive the building so well known from the outside, and hardly ever seen on the inside. On air is a full-blown visual-musical surreality show, records are spinning on 4 parallel channels, and the one time recording and screening studios are getting filled with determined party people.
Over its century-long history, the stunning building of the former palace of the Stock Exchange has encountered various types of multitudes, but nothing of this sort before: apart from the international stars, young joyful party people will be flowing on its winding corridors enchanted by projections, so as to jump around in baren studios in the light of LED installations composed of several tens of thousands of pixels, to mashups woven from evergreen pop songs.
In addition to the many household party venues in the capital (of which, of course, it is never enough) finally there is again an exclusive, exciting location, the inside of which has so far been seen mostly on the television screens, a temporary DJ palace, the actual realisation of the often misunderstood acronym the Hungarian national tv shares with the music channel, MTV.
The stars of the night are the Belgian dj-producer duo to appear first ever in Hungary, the groove-gurus with a misleading name, 2 Many DJ’s, famous for their similarly deceptive Soulwax album, „Much Against Everyone’s Advice”. Stephen, the chairman of the Belgian Carpenters Association, and David with his black belt in tae kwon do will line up an assortiment of valiant dance rhythms and take in Studio 4 with its excellent sound proofing.
We may witness a multiple premier: the duo’s first appearance in Hungary, and the first time ever this historical site houses a major electronic music event. So we must expect the excitement and the smaller difficulties that result from the uniqueness of the occasion and location, the organisers beg everyone to follow the instructions and always mind the characteristics of the remarkable building.
