21:00 | Mosaic Music: LP (US) |
|
|
|
|
 Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in collaboration with the concert agency Pop Farm present the final Mosaic Music concert of this year. On December 10, LP, the charismatic American singer and songwriter known for her “big indie” songs, will perform at Garage. A powerful voice, unique style, drive and energy, which the singer shares with the audience transports listeners to the atmosphere of sincerity and self-sufficiency that she channels in her music. MTV author Carvel Wallace calls LP “a brash vocalist with a rocker’s heart”. Her emotive and relatable tracks wed to powerful vocals, guitar acoustics, vibes of the drums and low penetrating voice have won the hearts of European and American listeners and now she is coming to Russia for the first time. In Moscow, LP will perform compositions from her latest album Death Valley (2016) and, obviously her super hit Lost on You, the remix of which topped the Russian iTunes chart this summer. A 2011 Citibank television commercial, which featured excerpts from LP's "Into the Wild," garnered Pergolizzi a huge fan base as viewers eagerly looked to the Internet to discover the identity of the artist singing "Somebody left the gate open" -- the track earned enough attention to warrant a CNN news piece.

 Tiësto is a name that no longer needs an introduction. He is synonymous with the best of electronic music, and continues to inspire a generation of up-and-coming young artists. In addition to two Grammy nominations and a Grammy win in 2015, Tiësto has been named the #1 DJ by Rolling Stone, voted “The Greatest DJ of All Time” by Mixmag, ranked the #1 DJ in the world three times by DJ Mag, and was recently awarded the Edison Pop Oeuvre Lifetime Achievement Award (an honor he shares with David Bowie, Quincy Jones and U2 among others). After conquering the house and trance worlds, the superstar producer led the charge in helping electronic music crossover into the mainstream with his last album, A Town Called Paradise in 2014. His single “Red Lights” is now certified gold in the US, Sweden and Canada, while “Wasted” with Matthew Koma recently went platinum in the US and is his highest-charting release to date. Clearly a taste of what was to come, Tiësto has recently dropped new tunes with the The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, and pop sensation Natalie La Rose. Throughout the past two decades, Tiësto has remained not only one of the world’s most prolific and enduring artists, but one of music’s top innovators. In spite of his accomplishments, Tiësto does not see his work as being done. “DJing is my life,” the man isn’t afraid to admit. But more than that, “It’s a lifestyle.”

18:00 | XIV Synthetic Snow Festival |
|
|
|
|
 Having been conducted in Russia for fourteen years now, Synthetic Snow Festival is a large-scale event which brings together the lovers of alternative electronics genre from all over Russia. This year the headliners of the event will be Mesh (UK), Diorama (Germany), Decoded Feedback (Canada) together with Monolith (Belgium), Janosch Moldau (Germany), Monica Jeffries (Germany), Stars Crusaders (Italy), Vanguard (Sweden) and many more! Mesh are a synthpop/ebm group, hailing from Bristol, England, UK consisting of Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn. Neil Taylor was in Mesh from their conception in 1991 until 2005. Their music is described by their official website as "somewhere between synthpop and EBM". Personally they prefer the term 'Electro rock'. Mesh were discovered largely as a result of Future Music releasing their first three demo songs on a compilation. Holding a large amount of distaste for major label business, the trio chose to form their own label titled Tolerance Records, which released their first EP "Fragile" in 1993. Diorama is a darkwave band founded in 1996 in Reutlingen, Germany by Torben Wendt. His music was soon recognized by Adrian Hates of Diary of Dreams, so with his support and the support of Rainer Assmann (Daf/ Fad Gadget), a debut-album “Pale” was released in 1999. It was received very well both by the critics and the audience. Decoded Feedback artist is a Electronica / Industrial / EBM band formed in Toronto, Canada in 1990. Decoded Feedback burst on to the industrial scene in the mid 1990s with the highly acclaimed self-titled demo tape Decoded Feedback. This creative duo brought together all the elements and contrasts that exist between the sexes, and at the same time using their diverse backgrounds, European and Canadian, to successfully create their own unique sound. This proved to be a powerful combination. After an amazing review in Belgium’s Side-Line magazine, Decoded Feedback was picked up immediately by one of Europe’s leading industrial labels, Hard Records.
