Ars Electronica Nightline, Stadtwerkstatt
Koenigleopold (AT)
Uncompromising, provocative insanity has been Koenigleopold’s trademark since 2011. The duo consists of Lukas König, who plays bass and percussion simultaneously, and Leo Riegler, DJ, MC, clarinetist, guitarist, singer and electronics man. As one of today’s most controversial acts on the music scene, Koenigleopold knows how to get instant audience reactions—making them laugh; making them appalled at what they’re witnessing. Mule Driver aka Harel Schreiber (IL) creates acid, house, ambient, industrial, and obscure electronix using mainly analog equipment. Dina Kornveits (IL) has put together a Dj set specially for Ars Electronica with deep techno electro acid music for unarmed ears.
