Fat Chance DJs & Th!n Consolation VJ’s (BE)
About Fat Chance DJ's & Th!n Consolation VJ's–
Fat Chance is a generic term for the awkward yet combined efforts of Jef, Stef and Fred. One's very hairy, another swears a lot and the third waves his arms and legs about when talking. Founding members of the Unrezt collective, midwives of the Thin Consolation label, they supply a dark and throbbing electronica, influenced by Autechre and a certain scene rooted in Miami. Promotional whores of the common good, they are often assisted in their various endeavours by the likes of Dave and or Skwal, and generally nourished by the one they call Early Odaka. They're also usually accompanied by a funny fat one they all call Panda, official spokesman and team slut. As the others are all devoid of basic social skills he does all the talking. Judging by the bags under their eyes and the colour of their skin, all bets are open as to how much longer they will be gracing this ugly planet with their congenial company.
About Antonin De Bemels–
Antonin is a video artist, VJ and soundscaper, born in Brussels circa 1975. At the ERG he discovered both video art and experimental cinema, and initiated a personal study into the representation of the human body in motion and the dynamic relationship between sound and vision. At about the same time he discovered electronic music in its various forms, working amongst others with The Syncopated Elevators Legacy [aka Acid Kirk] for two of his first short films, Phalange in 1997, and The Blue Room in 1998. End of 1998 Antonin met the dancer and choreographer Bud Blumenthal, with whom he has established an intensive ongoing collaboration.
Antonin has supplied the video decors for four of Bud's shows: Rivermen [1999], Les Entrailles de Narcisse [2001], Red Cliff [2002] and Les Sentiers d'Ulysse [2003]. Bud Blumenthal also gave Antonin the opportunity to create his first sounds cape for the Rivermen show. In 2000 Antonin became resident VJ for the Muzical Unrezt nights and from henceforth a member of the Unrezt crew. In 2004 Antonin released his debut album on Tonto Records, under his Petite Porte de Bronze alias, and in 2005 his Landslips short film on Thin Consolation.
