evoke tracks - the aftermath

Aug 25 – Here's a late "thank you" for every one who supported and attended "Evoke Tracks", the electronic music event hosted by the Sensor club in cooperation with our demoparty. It was a big success, and we are already thinking how to pull off something similar next year. There are unfortunately no recordings of the live- and dj-sets, but if you liked what you heard, or want to hear what you missed out on, check out these mixes by the featured artists:
- 2krazy: Life on Urban Affairs radio, 24.7.07
- Disrupt & Rootah: Live @ Mungo's Hi-Fi Glasgow, 30.3.07
- Lotek Style & Repomatic: Live on Delta Force radio, 27.7.07
- mo.: various Netaudio mixes
Enjoy, and see you next year!

303f live at evoke

Jul 27 – Awesome! Besides "Evoke Tracks" on Friday we can offer you even more live-music at Evoke 10. Our old friends from 303f offered to play a set on Saturday right after the democompo. So stay alert for some post-democompo partying on saturday. To quote themselves:
"303F is a Dutch live-act creating energetic electronic dance music. Taking elements from techno, house, trance, electro and other genres, 303F’s sound can be described as an atmospheric and highly danceable blend of different musical styles."
Sounds fair enough to us. Thanks for coming!

Evoke Tracks

Jul 10 – It's Evoke's 10th birthday, and the Sensor Club opens its gates for a massive celebration. Four musicians and two VJs are teaming up on Friday the 10th of August to bring good vibes to the crowd from 9pm on. Jam through a night of electronic music and excellent visuals! Already at Evoke 2004 the Sensor Club, back then located under the legendary Essigfabrik, brought you the Evoke Netlabel Night. Three years later, there is Evoke Tracks, featuring bass-heavy electronic vibes from digital Dub over Drum'n'Bass to Dubstep & Garage. The DJs and liveacts who will make you move, are: 2krazy (DubStep), Disrupt (Digital Laptop Reggae), Lotek Style (Electro, Breaks & UK Garage) and Mo. (Drum'n'Bass & Breaks). Blausand & Ruthene will be the VJs at the controls. More info at http://www.evoke.eu/10/tracks/.


Compo PC specs announced

Jul 09 – As promised, the hardware specs of the Windows, Linux and Mac compo machines for the Evoke demo/intro compatitions are announced. You can view them here.


Compo rules are up

Jul 04 – The demo, graphics, music and wild compo rules for Evoke 2007 are finally online. They largely are similar to those last year; the only bigger change being the tracking compos have been reduced to the tiny (64k) music tracking compo, because we believe that there ought to be some challenging aspect about making tracked music nowadays. Looking forward to see and hear many interesting entries! The specs for the compo machines will be announced really soon.
