A netlabel festival alongside Elektroconfrenz in Augsburg, Germany
A soulseek user known as Derweissse was interested in having his favorite Soulseek Artist Kilowatts and Vanek come to perform for him in Augsburg, Germany. He was planning a show as part of an art festival there and decided to feature Soulseek Records and netlabels as part of the Lab30 portion of the festival in Abraxas. The venue was a decommissioned US military army base that was made into a local theater. Every year they would hold an art festival there with artists from around the world exibiting installations and live performances like Elektroconfrenz which showed that electronic music can be performed and improvised. Acts like Florian Hecker, A&E, Leafcutter John, Ulrich Schanuss, and many others performed solo shows at the event over the years as well.
Interview with Psy-Sci and Saskia at the first soulseek records featured lab30, on May 17th 2004.
A bunch of friends got together in a kitchen during the lab30 festival to jam during an audio test and decided to do it live at the festival the next day. We gathered in a studio down the hall and ran a wire to the next room where ToyzRme took the feed and modified it for the audience in front of him.
