Felix Kubin's Bigband mit obskuren Tunes zwischen Swing, Pop & Surf

In the autumn 2013, the formaldehyd elektronaut Felix Kubin and the incredibly flanging big band
Mitch & Mitch meets, mixes and mingles in their studios in Warsaw and Hamburg conducting an
electro-acoustic experiment: the production of an avant-garde pop library record. To reach this
goal they invited German producer legend Tobias Levin to be their electric conduit. With their faces
turned to the dark side of the moon and their hearts charged with the alluring moods of Gesamtkunstwerk,
they will descend into the cellar of human fear and entartete Rhythmik, sharpen their
lenses and look right into the eye of electric voodoo. Upon completion of the delta phase, documented
by the underground (but fully legal) laboratories of Lado ABC and Gagarin Records on
stereophonic sound carriers, Felix Kubin and Mitch & Mitch will enter the next phase, called “sonic
presentations” or “science’s litmus paper.” At the turn of 2013 and 2014 this Big Band X-ray music
will arrive in some cities of Europe as a 10-person combo, aided by a sophisticated selection of
instruments. Apart from the aforementioned material, they will also present special arrangements
of previous exploits of both sets.
