Electrode is the result of the combined efforts of many Roman musical scenes and visual projects such as MissAnthroPeak, Sonic Visioner, Truckstop76th, Urban Pressure, 00 Nowhere, Candivision and more.
The main reason why the Festival takes place is to create an event that combines different languages from the Electronic Music world, that are also the expression of the social environments that shaped them. This need is an heritage that push us to always look for new contaminations.
From the very beginning Electrode gives an example of exchange between a strong artistic research and an extreme creative independence: the “trait d’union ” is the common striving for quality and a total resistance to the commercial trends.
Since the audio and video`s production tools became digital, an increasing number of artists got the chance to create their own music and video performance, sharing them throughout the web, influencing and innovating each other wiping out the differences between “big” and independent artists. These lead us to put together artists known in the famous Club Culture`s circuits and artists from the independent scenes, with the guarantee of the highest standards of technical quality, purity of sound and spectacular scenery offered by some of the most innovating VJs.
Forte Prenestino organizes events in a self-managed way always taking care about the community and its needs, as far as its renewal process. Electrode Independent Music Festival is a gamble: no sponsors appear, or ever been requested. Electrode is a fun, liberating, culturally mixed and not standardized event, aware of his own identity and background.
Electrode is not meant to be “an anti-festival”, but “a second chance” in addition to the few festivals in Italy that bring artists usually performing abroad. Electrode`s stages are spread into two “piazze d`armi” called alpha and omega, each one with its own genre, guests, Vjs and DJs and a third one called gamma, a sort of high level chillout, that gives space to other local artists.
Thanks to this rich environment the music have no borders: techno, electro, breakbeat, minimal, dubstep share the same stages, lights designers, VJs and audience. Like every year a major space is reserved to the visual part.The VJs crew born with Electrode, this means “getting your hands dirty” building step by step the visual impact. For the fourth year the team Flxer takes control of the situation having the opportunity to participate in Electrode with several guests of the LPM festival to enrich the program with the visual of :
