NUITS BLANCHES
During the festival, Black Movie is setting up house within the now-mythical Usine. Each evening, one or more spaces in Geneva’s castle of culture will be open to night owls mad keen for munchies, or ready to brave end of the world torments if they can listen to music.

Andy Votel (uk) dj set
Mahssa (usa-ir) dj set
Doug Shipton (uk) dj set - rare groove
A jack-of-all-trades who hails from Manchester,
Andy Votel founds the Twisted Nerve label in 1998 – prompting the emergence of Mancunian-by-adoption, Badly Drawn Boy.
At the same time,
Votel launches the fantastic record house Finders Keepers, a label devoted to re-editions of all genres. The guy has built up a solid global network that has helped him to discover albums by Turkish, Pakistani, Hungarian, Czech, Welsh and other artists.
This evening, he’s offering a selection of exclusively vinyl records around film music that he dreamt up especially for Black Movie.
He’ll be accompanied by
Doug Shipton, who's playing on Finders Keepers too and
Mahssa, originally from Iran, who’ll introduce us to some choice pieces from his native land.

Mutron (Muller Records, Decathlon, Codona, Japon)
Dj Tasaka (Ki/oon records, Ultra-Vybe, Muller records / Japon)
A Japanese-style evening that’ll start with the most Japanese of all Germans,
Beroshima aka Frank Mueller, DJ and producer of the famous Cocoon label. Closely followed by
Mutron and
DJ Tasaka working on the same label. Having skimmed the most mega-hype dance floors of Japan, they made their debut on the country’s southern beaches and northern mountains. A few spins of the disco ball and suddenly they’re at the head of a new Japanese electro generation. So lock your feet to the dance floor. Cos these DJs might just end their set in Back to Back!
