FridayItal Tek (Live), Gumilap, Headshotboyz, Seres @ Instant, 22:00.
Mixing the rhythmic memes of Chicago with UK sci-fi sonics rooted in classic ’90s AI and jungle music, Alan Myson is one of the most unique electronic artists experimenting with all kinds of bass music.
Ital Tek has been evolving his dexterous dance-floor electronica, techy IDM, glitch-hop and post-dubstep forms for almost a decade. Impressively adept at shrugging off the constraints of genre identification, his output has most recently been inspired by the febrility and tension-release of Chicago Footwork rhythms.
Blending widescreen space and chimeric panorama with iron-fisted industrial rhythms and cosmic dread, Myson draws subtle, sinuous electronic connections between complex rhythm structures, sleek synth contours, a frozen ambience, and the dark-side rush of growling bass. If you are intrested in the future of electronic music, don't miss this show!Rewind Special Mic Night: MC Fedora, MC Kemon, Samulkow @ Corvintető, 22:30.
One of the longest ongoing party series invited some MCs to make this Friday even more upbeat and special. Pass the mic!
Trap, hip-hop, breakbeat, moombahton, and dubstep, spun by talented disc jockeys who know everything about the aforementioned styles: both their roots and the freshest hits. That's how we would summarize Rewind, one of the longest ongoing party series in Hungary. What makes this night even more special is that they've invited MC Kemon from Irie Maffia and MC Fedora to spit some rhymes into the crowd, and Samulkow will stand behind the decks for some fun that includes vinyl and dancing. So, no excuses this time!HAANG Presents: Percut, Utero, DirekTorz, Modeo @ Kontra Club, 22:30.
A showcase of up-and-coming Hungarian electronic musicians with styles ranging from acid techno to ambient, from noisy dubtechno to pure dance music.
Percut makes twisted dance music using found footage, chopped-and-screwed jazz tunes, and his self-produced noises. Utero already played at every kind of electronica event, from psytrance-focused gatherings to ambient seances. Yes, his eclecticism in music is quite unique: he creates dance music from dreamlike soundscapes, which is like listening to Boards Of Canada in a club. The duo of Bios and dubkid (aka Universal Language) plays noisy dubtechno, with some minimal techno, house and emotions thrown into the live mix. Modeo is into industrial-infused asymmetric techno.8OUNCE Presents: Heatsick - A/V Live, Hellohargi, Vanis, Hi, Prsly @ Toldi, 23:00.
Heatsick’s entrancing live show is created in real time based upon loops that are molded, stretched. and reduced to interlink, nestling and merging with one another in a similar way to his visual artwork, where objects and media combine and coalesce in an environment inviting the viewer’s participation.
Combining a palette of sources from early Chicago house mixtapes (in sound, texture, and mixing technique) through to musique concrète and psychedelia, Heatsick proposes a type of live dance music that expands and unlocks the senses: his use of limited resources to produce an immersive, maximalist sound environment – often stretched beyond three hours and augmented by elements of his broader art practice for his "Extended Play…" performance series – has been favorably received at venues, clubs, and festivals across the world, including Berghain/Panorama Bar, Unsound, MoMa, and Novas Frequencias in Rio.

The good vibes, the good friends, and the smiling faces always make these special occasions a good choice when it comes to where to spend your Saturday afternoon.Lick The Click!

Every Saturday is fun day at the sunny bow bar of the A38 Ship: three vinyl junkies spin their favorite records all day long, just for your listening pleasure. Isu, Crim, and Chrom lived most of their lives behind the decks, so they surely know how to make a crowd go mad. While you are drinking an ice-cold mojito and enjoying the beautiful panorama with your friends, these three DJs will offer a wordless lecture for you about what good music really means. Before getting lost in the nightlife of Budapest, do some warm-up partying here.AbsintheFilms Presents: HeavyMental – Premiere @ Ötkert, 19:00.
AbsintheFilms is on the forefront of today's snowboarding culture. Some of the world's best riders star every year in the Absinthe movies, pushing the sport to the next level: this will be the Hungarian premiere of their newest film, titled HeavyMental.
With quality snow in short supply and snowpack being sketchy in many places, tracking down the goods was frustrating and mentally draining – so it was heavymental, basically. But with 22 years in the business, director Justin Hostynek still delivers some of the most progressive riding of the year, along with the biggest stars of the snowboarding scene: Victor De Le Rue, Austen Sweetin, Bode Merrill, Jason Robinson, Mat Schaer, and Manuel Diaz, just to name a few. The new snowboard-themed movie of AbsintheFilms is not just a rush of adrenaline to the head, but also gets you hyped about the forthcoming snowboarding season.
Instant 6th & ASAN Plygrnd: Om Unit, Yapo, Zomblaze, 6T, planetmalcolm, Zosha, Nnothing @ Instant, 22:00.
Om Unit (aka Phillip D. Kick) is the alias of Jim Coles, founder of Cosmic Bridge Records and the master of footwork, juke, and dubstep.
As Om Unit, Jim Coles has spent the past three years refining his unique sound with releases on Goldie’s Metalheadz, dBridge’s Exit Records, Plastician’s Terrorhythm, and Civil Music. Via collaborations with Machinedrum (as Dream Continuum on Planet Mu), Mark Pritchard, Kromestar, Fracture, and Sam Binga – plus his short-lived, much hyped footwork-jungle alias Phillip D. Kick and remixing Joker, Reso, Kramphaft, Starkey, VIVEK, Foreign Beggars, and Shigeto – Illum Sphere established a name for himself as one of the most exciting producers of bass music nowadays.
It is perhaps clichéd to claim that a producer is one of the hardest-working and most unique talents, yet sonic maturation of Coles over the past decade, synthesising influences and references across his prolific output, makes Om Unit a producer deserving of the hype.SundayGouba – Gozsdu Bazaar @ Gozsdu Yard, 10:00.

Autumn means that Best Of Corvin starts its new season, with the first list of films focusing on the making of films and videos.
The first film that they will screen is American Beauty, featuring Kevin Spacey's best performance. A biting, penetrating and often humorous take on contemporary life in suburban America, Lester Burnham becomes intrigued by a young girl named Angela, and this fascination sparks him to make some major changes in his life. He relishes these changes, much to the exasperation of his wife Carolyn. Disturbing, bleak, thought-provoking – a remarkable debut from Sam Mendes (Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Skyfall).
Kolor Kinema: Vanilla Sky @ kolor, 19:00.
Cameron Crowe's remake of the Spanish film Open Your Eyes, starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Kurt Russell.
Vanilla Sky bears the expected Crowe trademark of an obsession with recent pop culture and particularly rock music, a more important element of the remake than the original film.
Tom Cruise stars as David Ames, a womanizing playboy who finds romantic redemption when he falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend Sofia (Penelope Cruz). Before that relationship can begin, however, David is coaxed into a car driven by an ex-lover, Julie (Cameron Diaz), who turns out to be suicidal. Driving her car off a bridge, Julie kills herself and horribly disfigures David. Reconstructive surgery and the loving support of Sofia seem to reverse David's luck, but eerie incidents are soon making him question the reality of his existence and his control over his life, even while he is suspected of complicity in Julie's death.
