Sci-fi line-ups
August 7, 2009
We want you to imagine the future.

What will it be like? An underwater world? An Intergalactic hitchhiking trip that will answer the most unanswerable of questions? Will we all become lazy fat people as in Wall-E? A world where robots do our laundry or serve us our pint of beer? Or a planet full of sentient androids in the vein of Blade Runner? Would we end up booking these guys for an upcoming event at Cargo? Would we eventually need Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics? And, if we somehow manage to make robots follow our standard moral guidelines, would they turn out to become “better” than humans? – reducing you and me to an inferior species just above chimpanzees? Are we going to merge with machines!? Or… maybe all these disturbing theories are just bollocks and the only thing robots will ever do better than us is play baseball.
Make your own forecast. Place your bets. For the moment, robots are invading Cargo without our musical selectors even noticing it. On The 19th of August a man who has stated that he would like to be a cyborg will take over Cargo’s stage. The Juan Maclean with his brand new “The Future Will Come” (and his brand new robot mascot) will be playing blips and bleeps with his soul-less electronic machines (Theremin included) –along with some human beings.
On the other hand, the DFA Records crew will bring us the acid house and electro beats of the mighty Shit Robot on Sat. 22nd. And galaxies away, the night of the 26th of September we will be cheered up by our very special electronic jester Maurizo Dami, aka Alexander Robotnik, an old hand of the Italian bizarre music scene.
Be scared. The invasion has already started. And it’s going to be fun!





I LOVE ROBOTS!
