Infart è il nostro modo di dimostrare questa viscerale esigenza culturale, un evento d’arte sempre sulla soglia dell’innovazione, una porta spalancata sul mondo della Urban Culture, un modo di celebrare questo linguaggio nato da un irrefrenabile necessità di comunicazione. Con l’arrivo del nuovo millennio infatti, la Urban Culture, inizialmente identi¬ficata con la scena del writing newyorchese degli anni ‘80, conosce una nuova vita. Nuove tecniche, nuove metodologie di diffusione in primis il web, una rivoluzione formale ed estetica, un’ innovazione stilistica, le contaminazioni con la grafica e l’influenza dei nuovi media, trasformano la Urban Culture classica in movimento aperto e dinamico, eclettico e globalmente diffuso.
Stickers, posters, stencils, mosaici, interventi sull’ambiente, installazioni e alterazioni degli spazi urbani, sono solo alcuni degli ingredienti di cui questo nuovo panorama culturale ed artistico si nutre. La figura dello street-artist prende le distanze da quell’immagine errata di artista out-sider, che agisce ai margini della legalità, con cui era stato identificato, e l’arte che produce non può più essere considerata né atto di vandalismo né deturpazione dell’ambiente urbano. Gallerie, collezionisti, istituzioni culturali, il pubblico stesso che fruisce delle opere di Urban Culture sulla strada, guardano con rinnovato interesse a questo fenomeno, riconoscendogli tutto il valore estetico, artistico e di innovazione che porta con sé.

La Urban Culture entra in maniera prepotente nel mondo dell’arte contemporanea, riscattandosi da quelle etichette che per decenni l’avevano relegata in spazi marginali, esclusivamente underground.
La nostra mission non è altro che la sua promozione, con ogni mezzo, con tutte le nostre forze.

Infart Collective is passion, is communication, is Urban Culture sharing. Since 2007, the collective is involved in the organization of exhibitions and events with the aim for an unconventional promotion of the underground unconventional art.
Our language and our communication methods are developed to be able to strike and involve audiences away from the Urban Culture and also to galvanize who feels a deep love for this art. For those who, like us, can’t live without art.

Urban Culture sets foot overbearingly in the world of the contemporary art shaking off that underground label for decades confined in marginal spaces.
Our mission is nothing but his promotion, by any means, with all our strength.

Il progetto Infart è nato nel 2007 con due prime edizioni lampo (rispettivamente a giugno e settembre dello stesso anno) che hanno ospitato alcuni dei migliori artisti emergenti della street culture italiana. L’evento, in entrambe le edizioni, è stato realizzato in puro stile underground all’interno di una casa privata a Cittadella, data in uso all’associazione per l’esposizione per un intero weekend. Il fabbricato è stato svuotato e trasformato in oggetto d’arte a 360 gradi affinché un selezionato pubblico di amatori e conoscitori, coinvolti grazie a mirati inviti diffusi soprattutto via web, potesse godere dei lavori di alcuni dei migliori street artist realizzati direttamente sull’architettura. Alla prima edizione 600 persone arrivano quasi per gioco e diventano 1.500 nell’edizione di settembre.

La terza edizione (denominata per l’occasione Say yes! to Infart) si è svolta a Bassano del Grappa il 6 e 7 settembre 2008 ed ha coinvolto 87 artisti tra nazionali (Milano, Roma, Torino, Veneto…) e provenienti dalle maggiori capitali europee (Londra, Barcellona, Madrid, Vienna, Parigi). L’evento è stato il primo in Italia per estensione degli spazi adibiti al disegno e numero di presenze: 1.300 m² di superficie dipinta, 350 m² di spazi espositivi, 50.000 visitatori nei due giorni.

L’edizione 2010 (Infart Hello Nasty!) ha fatto parlare ampiamente di sé, grazie al successo derivato dalla qualità degli ospiti italiani ed europei giunti in terra veneta e dalla grande affluenza di pubblico che ha invaso la città di Bassano del Grappa per tre giorni consecutivi tra il 3 e il 5 di settembre 2010.[1]

La quinta edizione di Infart (In Infart We Trust), svoltasi il primo weekend di settembre 2011 è stata una manifestazione che ha visto la partecipazione di quasi 10.000 persone giunte da tutta Italia. 3 giorni di assoluto fermento creativo: Djset, concerti live e le performance artistiche di decine di artisti provenienti da tutta Europa. La mostra “Vulpes Pilum Mutare” al Museo Civico ha coinvolto una sessantina di artisti underground italiani ed è stata raccolta in un catalogo.

New York City based photographer Alessandro Zuek Simonetti was born in Italy and grew up parallel to the urban street cultures of the early 90′s.
Developing his own distinct photographic language reflects his deep interest in young niche cultures. Quite often each project stretches beyond the photographic medium which serves as a sign of his maturing expression as an artist.
After his graduation from the Accademy of Fine Arts of Venice in 2001 he became a professor of Photography at The Institute of Arts in Padova, Italy.
His works have been published in important national and international magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ, Arkitip, Lodown, Tema Celeste, and Theme. He has also collaborated with brands such as Carhartt WIP, Zoo York, Diesel, Lee, Bijules, Redbull, Evisu, Sartoria comunication and Slam Jam.

Stabber (Lucky Beard Rec, Italia)

Stabber is a cool guy but always pissed off, you can’t talk with him, you can’t try to ask him anything, just leave him alone in his studio while he try to destroy the building with his huge sub-basses.
The only way to chill Stabber is to cook him lots of arrosticini and bring him a big glass of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Stabber’s first EP for Lucky Beard Rec, This Torsion, contains tracks featured in lots of mixes from allover the world and played in the last weeks by artist like: Crookers, TNGHT and others even on BBC Radio 1 Diplo and friends show.

Milangeles (Italia)

Milangeles is the new side project of the Italian creative collective, 100% Presi Bene, where djs, musicians, photographers, film makers and graphic designers join forces in one big creative melting pot. Milangeles describe themselves as tough as the land from where they originate and as alive as the ethnic groups who reside there, but all you really need to know about the Italian duo is they deliver a steaming hot mix of tropical bass, moombathon and juke. The duo’s sound is born in the dark night of the urban jungle; it borrows from an entire generation of Latin sounds and melds it all together with mechanical synths and heartfelt trumpets. By mixing the raw power of the shantytowns with the almost primal world of the dance floor, Milangeles recreates the ambience of the shadowy, dilapidated suburbs of Milan, where a fight may break out at any second.

Klipar (Zombies For Money) [No Brainer, Basserk, Portogallo]

He went to school, like most of us. He got a glimpse of love in school, like most of us. Unlike most regular people, however, Klipar (also known as Diogo Cunha) also took school as an opportunity to get started as a DJ – playing those parties where drinking and kissing go hand in hand (you know the type – we’re sure you were there too).
Soon after, he took a stab at trance music and realized how somehow, DJing made total sense. These days, the sound has changed, and the skills improved. He’s playing UK Funky, Garage, Bass, House and some Electro – and people are paying attention.
When the producer and DJ from Lisbon Diogo Cunha is not rocking dance floors together with DJ Manaia on the Zombies For Money project, he prefers to explore a more restrained and melodic bass music under the name Klipar. After a series of releases on labels such as German No Brainer or Dutch Bazzerk together a number of originals and remixes to share through his Soundcloud page, Klipar’s reputation as a solo artist has grown exponentially to become one of the more recognizable friend the night of the grave of the Portuguese capital.

Ackeejuice Rockers [Overcooked Recs, Italia]

Hailing from Bassano Del Grappa (Venice), Ackeejuice Rockers are a DJ duo emerging from the urban culture and currently exploring the new sounds of global bass music, moombahton and dancehall. The blend created by the warm sounds of black music and the more synthy ones of electronic music is the starting point the duo tapped into. Pressing rhythms and a fast tempo suddenly break to leave room to moombahton and trap segments, without compromising the hype. King P and Ali Selecta are part of the winners of Ursa Major Remix Competition, organised by the eclectic New York-based label Trouble & Bass. Their ‘Wade In The Water” remix has been published by Mad Decent on their SoundCloud Roundup. Released on Overcooked Records, their current project, Freeze EP, includes remixes from Klipar (Zombies For Money), Boyfriend and Neki Stranac and serves as their introduction to the global bass music scene, alongside some publications with La Valigetta and 24Bit.

Their debut EP on Overcooked Records got featured on Trackitdown and support from elite players such as DK (Ninja Tune), Tomb Crew, Lorcan Mak, Top Billin, and several others. The Finnish duo also got invited to appear on Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel Radio Show for the first episode of 2012 alongside Bonobo & DK himself.

Ckrono & Slesh [Bass Squad, Italia]

Ckrono & Slesh are two DJs and producers who emerged strongly from the fertile underground of Florence (Italy) which in recent years launched some of the best Italian EDM talents (Numa Crew & Digi G’Alessio just to name a few). They come from different musical backgrounds but together they represent the perfect fusion of eclectic music for any party anytime, anywhere. Their sound, developed with great mixing technique, has a predisposition to the evolving bass culture and is enriched with tropical flavours. You can feel the devotion to Hip Hop, the energy of Drum’n'bass, the broken rhythms of Breakbeat and the Dubstep synth-bass lines. Their remix and edit in the newborn edm hype genre Moombahton received thousands of downloads worldwide. During 2012, their sound has been evolved towards new musical horizons such as Juke, Trap and Hardstyle (150-160 bpm) while maintaining their musical identity. For instance, their remix of Milangele’s Blue Sky (100% PresiBene) has amazed audiences and critics for its originality and power. Both come with the new live / dj sets “Machete Bass”, in which the music club blends perfectly with the Afro-Caribbean and South American sounds, powered by powerful lazer basses and irresistibly sexy rhythm. They have big plans for the future as long as they are about to drop several new remixes for rising big names of the international tropical/global bass scene like Ackeejuice Rockers, Gato Preto, Digi G’Alessio, Dj Kiff (Meanbucket). Be sure to look out for an upcoming release of an eclectic LP with all new original tracks.

A SKITZO [Torpedo Unit, Sarajevo]

A Skitzo inizia la sua carriera nel 2000 sotto lo pseudonimo “dj Ahmaad”, e oggi è uno dei più noti ed influenti dj della regione balcanica. Il suo stile rappresenta al meglio la sua città, Sarajevo, unica per essere da sempre popolata da un miscuglio etnico, religioso e culturale fino a qualche decennio fa rarissimo anche nelle grandi metropoli. Il “melting pot” di Ahmaad consinte invece in un mix di funk, hip hop, house, breakbeat, broken beat, jazz, sevdah, disco, electro e bass music. Nel 2003 inizia a condurre Truespin Radio Show, la sua prima trasmissione radio.
Successivamente darà vita ai progetti Stylin’ Club Nights, Kontra Sessions e Sound Flaster.

Ha partecipato a vari workshop in Bosnia, Croazia, Slovenia e Serbia, tra cui Master Class, che ha condotto insieme a Josh Wink durante EXIT Festival 2010.
Una delle sue più grandi ambizioni è quella di passare le sue conoscenze, la tecnica e l’esperienza nel djing e nella produzione alle nuove generazioni. Negli ultimi anni ha avuto la fortuna di condividere il palco con artisti come Beastie Boys, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, Surkin, Plan B, Borgore, Paul Kalkbrenner, Sinden, Martelo, Moullinex, N-Type, Hatcha, Das Glow, Canblaster, Symbol One e tanti altri. Nel 2011 è stato inserito nella prestigiosissima line up della Dance Arena di EXIT Festival.

HATE BOSS [RedLed, Italia]

Gli HATE BOSS sono Mattia Tomasi (voce – basso – synth), Simone Zaccaron (chitarra – synth), Emanuele Lombardini (batteria) e Alessandro Tomasi (elettronica – synth), è un progetto artistico che nasce nella data palindroma 01.02.2010, a Nord Est, più precisamente a Conegliano, provincia di Treviso, ma se non fate quattro chiacchiere con loro non vi accorgereste della loro provenienza. Il sound degli Hate Boss, infatti, ha confini europei, è originale ed assolutamente innovativo.
Raccolgono nella “casa rossa”, loro project studio: bassi fatti in casa, chitarre Hard Rock, batterie di plexiglass, vecchi synth analogici, nuove cianfrusaglie elettroniche, strumenti etnici souvenir di viaggi esotici, pentolame e ogni possibile oggetto che “crea” suono, dinamiche e vibrazioni. Amano l’elettronica alla Sbtrkt, il punk funk degli anni 80, la dance di Moroder, la cassa in quattro senza il charleston in levare, le “texture” di chitarra e i bassi grassi del Moog. Spingono dalle casse pura energia, quell’energia unica, nuova e diretta che sa unire la dance dei Daft Punk, il tiro dei Queens of the Stone Age, la ricerca sonora di Trent Reznor, Il funk di George Clinton, la sensualità di Prince e l’immediatezza del pop.
A Febbraio 2011 esce il video del singolo “Get Out” prodotto dall’apprezzata “Bodoni Studio”,
sempre in collaborazione con il collettivo “The Sponk Studios”. L’attività di promozione sia del brano che del video porta nuove importanti recensioni e segnalazioni da parte di web media italiani ed internazionali (Francia, Korea, Germania) e per loro la band rilascia diverse interviste. Nello stesso periodo remixano il brano “Brave” della band Sudafricana “Lark” pubblicato nel 2011 per Onion Records e il brano “Personal Computer” di Humanature pubblicato sempre nel 2011 per Garage Records.
Tra giugno e settembre 2011 intervallano l’attività live alle registrazioni (presso Hate Studio, Vicenza) del loro primo LP “Time of the Signs” in uscita il 30 marzo 2012 per Redled Records, distribuzione Venus, ufficio stampa Parole e Dintorni.
“TIME OF THE SIGNS”, l’album di debutto degli Hate Boss, uscirà il 30 marzo 2012 e potrà vantare il supporto e la collaborazione della Bollettino Edizioni Musicali, della Treid Management e dell’Agenzia di Comunicazione Parole & Dintorni, specializzata nel settore musicale, diretta da Riccardo Vitanza.
