You can expect to see a well-balanced collage of guitar music, contemporary post-bass trends, urban micro-directions from faraway places such as Africa and South America, in addition to the most interesting local acts. And all that in addition to the first uncovering of the video-installation Moe.


The Belgrade collective, Dis-patch, continues its cooperation with Mikser in 2012, something which it had begun during last year’s Mikser festival, creating the layered and varied previous programme, the Vice Verse stage. It was, at the same time, the first music programme in Belgrade which Dis-patch had realised after the announcement that the festival of the same name (which had been held every October between 2002 and 2010) had stopped running. A year later, Dis-patch had finally transformed itself, quite naturally and successfully, into a decentralised, multi-disciplinary, creative platform that it is today, and in which shape it continues to exist. The collective now participates in the creation of programmes throughout the country, the region and the whole of Europe – from being a part of big festivals such as Mikser, to participating in program development of its partners’ platforms, self-initiatives and self-financed educational activities, creators’ projects and collaborations.

Dis-patch’s appearance at this year’s Mikser festival should be placed in the above context. It will be realised in several individual programme units, which will also introduce the new “modus operandi” of the organisation itself. As always, music is the most solid foundation, base and starting-point for Dis-patch. In the framework of a large-scale event such as Mikser, Dis-patch offers a substantial alternative, made up of the rhythms and styles of the whole world, whose performers hail from the most diverse corners of the global music scene. You can expect to see a well-balanced collage of guitar music, contemporary post-bass trends, urban micro-directions from faraway places such as Africa and South America, in addition to the most interesting local acts. There will be partnerships with collectives such as Svetlana Industries, Mystic Stylez, Super Size She, NOFM or the project MOE from Zagreb, with which Dis-patch continues its ambition to serve as a platform for other collectives and to exhibit them to a wider public through a carefully programmed showcase line-up.

A three-a-day music programme has been given the simple name of Three Thirds. You will have the opportunity to hear over 20 exciting performers, concerts, live acts and DJs from Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Germany, the United Kingdom, USA and China during three individual segments. These will include everything from the newest bass line beats from London, through to digital club sounds and African music played on cassetes, the steaming pulse of the South American favela or indie and post-rock formations, right up to the alternative heroes of the Belgrade club scene. And all that in addition to the first uncovering of the video-installation Moe, which will serve as an elusive scenography for the constellation of exciting musical performers.

Three thirds make a whole. A whole makes a unique experience. Surrender yourself to it!
