Aktion Saubere Stadt
Um eine ungestörte und maximale Wertschöpfung des drittgrössten Sportereignisses der Welt durch die Sponsoren der UEFA EURO 2008™ zu garantieren, hat die Stadt Wien bereits vor einigen Monaten die Aktion saubere Stadt ins Leben gerufen. Begonnen hatte die Kampagne bereits im Herbst mit einer einigermassen unappetitlichen Plakatserie , auf der 200 vorwiegend blonde und mit Bürgermeister-Schnautzer ausgestatteten StrassenkehrerInnen in einer orangen Massenchoreographie wider der allgemein vorherrschenden Unreinheit posieren.
Mit Februar wurde die Einführung sogenannter WasteWatcher angekündigt, “speziell ausgebildete (sic!) und vereidigte MitarbeiterInnen der MA 48“. Die bis zu 150, an ihren grauen Uniformen erkennbaren BeamtInnen sind berechtigt, Verunreinigungen des öffentlichen Raums mit Geldstrafen von bis zu 2000,- Euro zu ahnden.
 Daneben wurde die UEFA EURO 2008™ zum Anlass genommen, um einen weiteren Schritt zur Kommerzialisierung des öffentlichen Raums zu setzen, in dem massiv gegen sogenannte “Wildplakatierung” vorgegangen wurde. Dazu gründete die der Stadt Wien nahestehende Plakatfirma GEWISTA ein Tochterunternehmen namens Kultur:Plakat, dessen Hauptaufgabe es zunächst scheint, ungenehmigt angebrachte Plakate von Kulturorganisationen und NGOs zu entfernen und durch graue “Plakatieren verboten”-Plakate zu ersetzen. In einem weiteren Schritt wurden Wien-weit hundert Kleinplakat-Displays an Laternenmasten angebracht, die - alle im Besitz der GEWISTA - nun teuer vermietet werden.
Eine von zahlreichen PlakatiererInnen, Kulturinitiativen und NGOs unterstützte Petition erläutert die Problematik am Vorgehen der Stadt:
“Die Monopolisierung des Plakatgeschäfts bedeutet nämlich eine Verarmung und Vereinheitlichung der Wiener Kulturlandschaft, ein Trend, der Hand in Hand mit anderen Phänomenen wie dem Kinosterben oder dem Verschwinden der kleinen Geschäfte und Greißler geht.
Die angebotenen Miniposterflächen der KULTUR:PLAKAT GmbH sind zweifellos eine attraktive Lösung für jene Veranstalter, die sich diese Werbeform leisten können. Auch wenn in der Aussendung die günstigen Preise für Veranstalter von kleinen Kulturevents angepriesen werden, sind in der Praxis die Flächen für viele schlicht unerschwinglich. Vor allem junge KünstlerInnen, nicht subventionierte und nicht kommerziell orientierte Kulturschaffende haben keine Möglichkeit mehr, für ihre Arbeit zu werben.
Der neue Verschönerungsplan führt also dazu, dass in Wien das Geld allein bestimmt, wer in der Kunst- und Kulturszene sichtbar sein darf und fördert dadurch indirekt den Mainstream, während die weniger etablierten KünstlerInnen marginalisiert und aus dem Stadtbild verdrängt werden.“

*** About Goth-Trad ***
“A one man army mutating the UK hardcore continuum in Japan.”
(Kode 9, Hyperdub)
“If we must compare, ‘Mad Raver’s Dance Floor’ combines acid era Afx, Bass Terror era Alec Empire, The Prodigy around the time of Experience and Shinso era DJ Krush… This third album is a consecration. A defining album, and one of the year’s best.”
(www.dmute.net)
“Goth-Trad might be based in Japan, but his sound resonates with the UK Sinodub/grime experiments of Jammer, Kode 9, and Horsepower.”
(Blackdown, www.pitchforkmedia.com)
“Vibrant, unhinged and unpredictable.”
(Jamie Vex’d, Planet Mu)
A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last few years as one of the most arresting artists from his generation. Freely playing samplers, keyboards and even self-made instruments, ‘The Sound Originator’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach. From electronica to noise, from dub and reggae to jungle and rave music, grime to dubstep, Goth-Trad has always experimented and in the process developed his own unique style: blending influences and delivering music that is constantly evolving.
He is enjoying respect from across the dubstep and electronica scenes in Europe and the US with people like The Bug, Kode 9, Blackdown, Juju and Skream all showing their interest in Goth-Trad and his music. Mary Ann Hobbs also showed her interest and appreciation by playing some of his tracks on her Breezeblock show on BBC Radio 1. In 2007 Goth-Trad debuted on UK labels Skud Beats and Deep Medi Musik, with two 12” releases that quickly sold out; he embarked on his fifth European tour, this time taking in 10 cities in 8 countries over one month including the UK, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Goth-Trad played live at each of the dates, performing his own classics and brand new tracks in front of eager audiences.
In the UK he was invited by Mala to play at the now legendary DMZ night. He became the first artist to play a live show at the event, showcasing his own take on the sound pioneered by so many of the DJs and producers who have appeared on the bill in the past. His eclectic and varied live show received an exceptional reception from the crowd, showing how far his sound had travelled since he started more than ten years ago. Whilst in London he also appeared on Kiss 100FM, one of the capital’s leading radio stations, where he performed live on Hatcha & Crazy D’s dubstep show. Before leaving London he made an additional radio appearance on the Boomnoise & Pokes show, on Sub FM.
*** About the DJs ***
Having his roots in Bratislava’s hip-hop-scene, DJ Biomat is certainly one of the big DJ-talents of the Central-European dubstep, combining ghostly dubstep & grime-instrumentals with his outstanding turntablism-skills. DvaUnlimited are promoters of Bratislava’s legendary BWO!-nights, and they are hosting a radioshow on Radio Tlis.
Whereas Raz Marty has his roots in Graz’ reggae-scene, Christo FX is strongly influenced by minimal techno. In their amazing back-to-back dj-sets as El Rakkas, the likes of Säköh and Basic Channel are mixed up with Digital Mystikz & UK Dub rarities. Their own productions have been well received by the international dubstep-scene and can be heard on several radio-stations such as London’s Sub FM.
As two thirds of Vienna’s very own 55.rnd, Ca.tter and M-Step can refer to releases on labels such as Cheap Records and ~temp. Their current productions are strongly influenced by dubstep, resulting in deep and at the same time ultra-dark arrangements arround 140bpm.
Jay-S & IZC started Play FM’s monthly 2-step, grime & dubstep feature back in 2003, tying the sound currently referred to as dubstep in a broader musical context of the hardcore-continuum. Their sets include lots of unreleased material, with their own tunes of the forthcoming Dubsquare imprint among it.
