Visual Set: Carbon Dehydrate + Vanessa Opoku

Part of Balance Club / Culture Festival – Web Edition
May 20 - 25 2020 – http://balance.ifz.me
New collaboration. For Balance Club / Culture Festival – Web Edition Leipzig-based DJ-duo Carbon Dehydrate teams up with visual artist Vanessa Opoku.

Vanessa Opoku is a visual artist and DJ, living and working in Berlin. By means of film and photography, animation, 3D scanning and AI, her work explores the borderlands of mixed reality.

Carbon Dehydrate is a collaboration between the Leipzig-based DJs XVII (IfZ, Balance) and gal (Feat. Fem, Balance). While XVII is known for his admiration for heavy bass lines and trance-oriented melodies combined with cute RnB mash-ups and breaks, gal brings the booty to the bass by mixing deconstructed pop-samples with bangers ranging from Ballroom to Jersey, from bass breaks to shaky beats.
