50 jaar mei ‘68

Zoals het past in de traditie zorgt ook dit jaar Radio Scorpio voor de invulling van de Labozaal tijdens STUK FEEST. Deze editie van Scorpio Labo staat in het teken van 50 jaar mei ’68. Om dat jubileum gepast te vieren brengen we een hulde aan de hippies van toen en nu in een gepaste setting. De kernwoorden van dit event zijn flower power, psychedelica, chill-out, lounge en relaxte sferen.

We beginnen de avond met de vertoning van Monterey Pop, een muzikale documentaire over de moeder aller festivals. Daarna nemen de dj’s het over en zorgen voor een muzikale trip van 1964 tot 2018.

De platenruiters van dienst zijn de Electronic Hippies (Roger & Dave, The Beatless) en Moos (bekend van Volksradio Moos, Desertfest Berlin, Roadburn).

Praktisch: vrijdag 1 juni in Labozaal Stuk:
- film Monterey Pop 21:00
- The Beatless: 22:18
- Electronic Hippies: 23:30
- Moos: 00:30

Hell, it’s 1968 again!

May ‘68 is 50 years young: it was generally a big middle finger stuck up to the system and the narrow-minded bourgeoisie. Enjoy this mix full of rebellious music from 1968 with a little help from the young Beatles & Stones, Floyd, Young, Zombies and a lot of Californian longhaired hippies.

Party like it's 1967! prt. 1

This is a mix of songs from 1967, the year of the first rock festivals ever, like Fantasy Fair & Magic Mountain Music Festival, the Monterey International Pop Festival and Jazz Bilzen. It was also the year of The Summer of Love with the raise of the hippie phenomenon. 1967 saw the publishing of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Stones' answer Their Satanic Majesties Request and the debut albums of both Pink Floyd and David Bowie.
In short, 1967 was the start of experimentation with sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

Enjoy!

Party Like it's 1966! prt. 1

Hi there, it's been a long time ago since our last mix, but things will be more active now: the Electronic Hippies will release a series of 60's and 70's mixes, more or less in chronological order, to start with 1966, the year before The Summer of Love.
Enjoy, and twist and shout!
