Helpless kindists in the DJ pulpit

The Techno culture needs new impulses - or goes there
nevertheless still another Beat through Germany?

OF STEFFEN IRLINGER

Sometime the user had "srtu" faxes the thick: "I know the whole
Genoergel net more hear, only meckert it if a shop close, then you
meckert if one open, genuinly, there war I too much...", write it in
provoked Chatroom hessian in the on-line forum of the DeBug, the
specialized magazine for "electronic aspects of life".
Dialectically overtaxed Chatroom participants are not the only one,
who stare for some time somewhat helpless and confused at the
development of the club culture - the professional observers are not
also differently. Therefore probably still never a German club drew a
such interest of medium on itself like the Cocoon club, with which the
star DJ Sven Vaeth in Frankfurt eastend yourself ten million euro an
expensive monument set. Which decode the declaration of bankruptcy of
the Techno become as the stone, is for other cause to locate at least
a "jerk" which goes "through Germany" (Partysan). A gastronomischer
enterprise, which calls architects, culture journalists and pinpointed
going out activists equally on the plan, made everything correct at
least from the PR perspective only once.
All the Gewese around admission fees, Dresscode or questions of gene
TIC Architecture did not miss its effect. However on Friday last week
journalists the way had found a half dozen into the Cocoon club -
recognizably from the fact that they ran here behind a two meters
large Transvestiten named Marlene, nodded ehrfuerchtig and sought to
understand the whole biomorphen insanity, by begrapschten somewhat
helplessly the breathing walls - in the kind, in which one steps with
the used-car dealer against the tires.

Continuous winner with the club quartet

To guest Swiss were DJane Miss Kittin, and if there is at
present a feuilleton-compatible female face of Techno, then it is the
pale young woman from Geneva. A new superclub, equipped with
everything that could help one to the competitionless victory with the
club quartet, and an international star DJane at the automatic
controllers - there are worse conditions for a successful club
evening. And then so which. However and lost measures Kittin in its
oversized is located, biomorph zurechtgekloeppelten to DJ pulpit with
an army from record players, CD Playern and mixers and does not kriegt
the public simply not into the grasp. It has an fear-exciting
Lightshow available, a DJ Klo and a music plant, whose strength
touches the borders of the human imaginative power. Nevertheless the
evening does not come simply into the courses. The dramaturgischen do
not cheat function like desired, established
Euphorisierungsbeschleuniger drink off. The more desperately it of the
automatic controllers turns, ever excited it with the basses plays,
the more tilts the tendency, and at first the friendly motivated
public purges into experienced Zurschaustellen of sinnentleerter
Dancemoves. The magic is called for with all available means, but it
does not come. And as there as abmueht in their silver Kleidchen,
measures Kittin does not see itself by any means as the international
DJ sensation, which embodies her without doubt at present, but
directly overtaxed. When the hausherr sees Sven Vaeth after that to
rights, the crisis management exists to shoulder-twitch out and "far
ones so".

What is to be missing? They drove everything, in order to make from
the Cocoon club the nut/mother of all superclubs. Everything in this
area is somehow handmade, mouth-blown or gelasert. But Sven Vaeth
actually is to for a long time in the business, in order not to know
that handcut glass fiber hoses, 300 000-Watt-Anlage, flying
Hochtoener, sound proof VIP cabs and two meters a large Transvestiten
in the red evening gown no successful club evening here charms.

In addition it needs substantially more. A good club evening is a
complex production from area, sound and light, in which
through-slammed, euphorisierte humans, which DJ and at all everything
celebrate, what is not fast to enough the exit. The Cocoon club is for
the moment however not yet much more than a gigantic space
installation, in which the guests wait themselves helpless at the
beverages festklammern and for it that the Transzendenz knocks them on
the shoulder.
But with the categories of the culture criticism is not to be gotten
to this project anyway. It is also only from statistic importance
whether the club cost or ten million euro or whether
three-dimensional, breathing walls and a 13-Gaenge-Gourmet-Restaurant
are real now the wisdom last conclusion.

The question is many more important whether this thing refers still to
something else than to itself. Does it stand for something different
one than the size illusion of its inventors? Does it become actual,
how it says the hausherr, a new era of the going out culture is to
introduce, or that all only hollow nineties-year Techno Rhetorik to
head for with the desperate investors an early Return OF Investment?
The answer is everyday: Up to further the Cocoon club is first times
what it is. A nearly agitating well meant, grotesque
ueberambitioniertes Gaga project, with which requirement and reality
did not run themselves yet over the way. No more, in addition, not
less. First simply a daring catering trade object must be brought here
in running. And that is simple in times like this not straight.



Futile swearing to rituals

Because the electronic music in the general one and before
everything the club culture, from which it rose, needs urgently new
impulses - which can come from everywhere since some time. Of a still
unknown Uzbek DJ talent, a pharmakologischen break-through in a
Dutch cellar laboratory or of types, which understands the instruction
for customs for a new Drumcomputer wrongly. Why thus calculated should
this oversized, biomorphe something in eastends representatively its
of the future of a musical kind, which is escaped in its better
moments already for a long time from the obligation of the absolute
club fitness?

The road map of Techno today - or we nevertheless rather call it the
map of the electronic music - contains meanwhile a out-differentiated
net of full zigzags and dead ends - and only few motorways to the
club. Because the linear vigorous ride project named Techno already
became before long time an unclear, rhizomatischen network. So it is
not to be excluded also after in such a way desastroes uninspirierten
evening that a daily for reasons, which today still none knows a
further important knot of this network in a former investment ruin in
Frankfurt Fechenheim is attached, in which for the moment still
another large question mark lives and weakened DJs after laminating
facilitates itself the direction Joysticks into the hand presses.
