Up Above Moscow

Moscow City Department of Culture

Manege Museum and Exhibition Association

“Up Above Moscow” is a cycle of open-air music nights up on a rooftop offering unique views of Moscow. The dialogue between musicians and their audiences takes place on the rooftop of the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman pavilion, at the footing of the iconic 24-meter sculpture, a world-renowned symbol of the Soviet Union.

A rooftop time at the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman is not only a great outdoor choice but also a chance to expand your music tastes, to add a new angle to your collection of the city’s best sights, and an opportunity to visit all exhibitions currently run by the Exhibition Center.

Music nights at the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman are conducted in two formats, with ‘Rooftop Jazz’ performances on Wednesdays and ‘Electronic Thursdays’ given to electronic musicians and sound designers.

Dadaisme и Buttechno

Dadaisme is the project of Valery Shevchenko, a musician from Tolyatti, who has moved to Moscow. His music has evolved from chillwave to post-dubstep and techno with further blending in noise and electroacoustics. He released his first album, Rhombus, in 2012 with American label Neurotic Cat Tapes; in 2014, Dasein Mosaic came out on Russian-American record label FFM (Far From Moscow), followed by a self-titled release with Samara-based Oblast in March.

Last year, Dadaisme participated in the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp, the international music talent factory. The project has featured together with 18 Carat Affair, M.A. Beat!, Bittertv, Hawaii94, Dj Azamat, Gillepsy, My Kingdom, created remixes for Phil Gerus, On-the-go, Aanbreken.

Buttechno is a co-founder of techno label John’s Kingdom in Moscow. The project featured in the Moscow edition of the legendary Boiler Room parties and authored the soundtrack for a fashion show of designer Gosha Rubchinskiy. The project’s scope spans from intriguing post-apocalyptic sound landscapes to melancholic house-style structures.

Depending on the weather conditions, the performance may be held on the fourth floor with admission to the rooftop during the break.

Tickets are available at the box offices of the Worker and Kolkhoz Woman and online at the website of Manege and Voxxter.ru. The ticket price of 300 rubles also includes admission to exhibitions on the day of the performance.
