Presentación: Others to the Front

Others to the Front empezó a esbozarse en enero de 2021. Tuvimos una primera aparición en público en Specka, en marzo, con mascarillas, sentades en mesas aún y rodeades de amigues. Significó mucho, pero no el baile que esperábamos. Durante el verano se fue prendiendo la llama de algo que terminó por explotar en septiembre de 2021, con la intención de queerificar y politizar las pistas de baile de Madrid poniendo a la otredad al frente.

A lo largo de 2021 y 2022, HOLE fue la fiesta que articuló principalmente nuestra presencia en la escena madrileña. HOLE fue un espacio para la expresión de otres, tanto en la cabina, como en la pista, que tradicionalmente no han cabido en los criterios de selección tradicionales de los clubs. También durante este tiempo, celebramos eventos con colectivos afines como Xoxa NYC, Bleak.WTF de Berlin, House of (S)PUNK de Barcelona o N1GTHNO1SE de Madrid. 

Desde mayo de 2022 publicamos el podcast House of Others, dedicado específicamente a la recuperación del house underground, que lleva ya veinte entregas de djs de ambos lados del atlántico. En julio hicimos nuestro primer OTHERS OPEN DECKS, los cuales han sido un laboratorio de aprendizaje y de compartir conocimiento.

En marzo de 2023 se celebró el último HOLE, y con este cierre se abre una nueva fase para Others to the Front: GL!TZ* es la nueva apuesta del colectivo en la que queremos presentar la dimensión local y comunitaria de la escena queer-rave transnacional.

BIO OTHERS TO THE FRONT

Others to the Front began to get together in January 2021. We made our first public appearance in Specka, in March, with masks on, sitting at tables and surrounded by friends. It meant a lot, but it hadn’t been the dance we had hoped for. During the summer the flame lit up, a flame of something that ended up exploding in September 2021, with the intention of queerifying and politicizing the dance floors of Madrid by putting the other to the front.

Throughout 2021 and 2022, HOLE was the party that mainly basically marked our presence in the Madrid scene. HOLE was a space for the expression of others, both in the booth and on the dancefloor, others who have not traditionally fit into the traditional club selection criteria. During this time, we also held events with like-minded collectives such as Xoxa NYC, Bleak.WTF from Berlin, House of (S)PUNK from Barcelona or N1GTHNO1SE from Madrid. 

Since May 2022, we have been broadcasting the podcast House of Others, which is dedicated specifically to the recovery of underground house music and has already twenty installments of DJs from both sides of the Atlantic. In July 2022 we held our first OTHERS OPEN DECKS, which constituted a platform of learning and sharing knowledge.

In March 2023 the last HOLE was held, and with this closing a new phase opened for Others to the Front: GL!TZ* is the collective’s new challenge in which we want to present the local and communitarian dimension of the transnational queer-rave scene.

#021 Can we feel it?

«Following the spirit of the series, we have tried to portrait the kind of house set that we love.
Its all about building a groove that moves in the direction of collective freedom.
For that mission we have resorted to both classic and new producers from both sides of the pond.
We wanted to make it deep, uplifting and funky. We hope you feel it the same way.»

«Siguiendo el espíritu de la serie, hemos intentado retratar el tipo de set house que nos encanta.
Se trata de construir un groove que se mueva en la dirección de la libertad colectiva.
Para esa misión hemos recurrido a productores clásicos y nuevos de ambos lados del charco.
Queríamos que fuera profundo, edificante y funky. Esperamos que tú lo sientas igual».

Alianzas: Others Needs Others

  • Others se entiende como una infraestructura de redes de afinidad y afectos en permanente construcción, entendiendo que lo personal es político, reconociendo como social y sistémico lo que anteriormente era percibido como algo aislado e individual.
    La colaboración, la conexión, la creación colectiva y el apoyo mutuo están en el centro de todo lo que ocurre aquí. Construimos juntes para llegar más lejos, codo con codo, porque soles podemos pero con amigues y aliades siempre es mejor.
  • Nos unimos al discurso original del Acid House: Peace, Love and Unity. Paz porque en la violencia siempre ganan los poderosos. Amor porque los afectos son el lubricante necesario para el apoyo mutuo y la reciprocidad. Y Unidad porque en la pista de baile nadie es más que nadie, y porque como siempre ha sucedido:
    Unidos resistiremos, divididos caeremos.
  • Hasta el momento hemos creado alianzas con los siguientes colectivos centrados en la música de baile y en la visibilidad de la comunidad queer & bipoc: XOXA NYC con base en Brooklyn, BLEAK.WTF entre Berlín y Nueva York, HOUSE OF (S)PUNK en Barcelona, SOFT SPOT asentades en Hannover y N1GHTN01SE en Madrid.
    Tenemos colaboraciones calentitas a la vuelta de la esquina que están por-venir.
  • Necesitamos crear una red crítica que cuestione todo para la construcción de una comunidad no complaciente con lo que el sistema cisheteropatriarcal y sus estructuras ofrecen.
    Nos unimos a otros colectivos con ideas afines para potenciar nuestra visión común, creando una red de colaboración que apoye a nuestra comunidad, nuestros deseos, nuestros proyectos y nuestra imaginación.

***********

  • Others is understood as an infrastructure of networks of affinity and affection which finds itself constantly in progress, understanding that the personal is political, recognizing as social and systemic what was previously perceived as something isolated and individual.
    At the core of everything that happens here is our collaboration, connection, collective creation and mutual support. We build together to go further, side by side, because alone we can but with friends and allies it is always better.
  • We join the original idea of Acid House: Peace, Love and Unity. Peace because in violence the powerful always win. Love because affection is the necessary lubricant for mutual support and reciprocity. And Unity because on the dance floor nobody is more than anybody, and because as it has always been:
    United we stand, divided we fall.
  • So far we have created alliances with the following collectives that focus on dance music and the visibility of the queer & bipoc community: XOXA NYC based in Brooklyn, BLEAK.WTF between Berlin and New York, HOUSE OF (S)PUNK in Barcelona, SOFT SPOT seated in Hannover and N1GHTN01SE in Madrid.
    We have hot collaborations coming up just around the corner.
  • We feel the need to create a critical network that questions everything, in order to create a community which is uncomplacent with what the cisheteropatriarchal system and its structures offer.
    We join other like-minded collectives so as to empower our common vision, creating a collaborative network to support our community, our desires, our projects and our imagination.

Las escenas locales importan: Hackney

Las escenas locales importan. Marie Malarie y Michelle Mannetti se reclaman abiertamente parte de la escena del Este de Londres. Más concretamente de Hackney ¿De dónde sale esta escena queer que se reclama de uno de los barrios obreros con más historia e identidad de Londres?

La cultura underground no es nueva en Hackney. Desde los años sesenta en adelante, Hackney ha sido un hervidero cultural calentado por los soundsystems y por una multitud de locales pequeños y medianos donde la diáspora anglocaribeña se recomponía como comunidad. 

En los años noventa, Hackney fue lugar de emisión de cientos de radios piratas que emitían Drum and Bass las veinticuatro horas del día. En el cambio de siglo Hackney fue escenario de las épicas raves del colectivo Bedlam, con los míticos Liberator (Julian, Chris y Aaron) como cabezas visibles de una escena que aún continúa viva.

Hackney fue el lugar de nacimiento de todo un género musical, el grime, cruce de distintos estilos hip hop y electrónicos, que marcó los primeros años del siglo XXI y se convirtió en la banda sonora de las periferias multirraciales londinenses. 

Pero como en tantos otros barrios populares con identidad cultural no sumisa, las fuerzas de la gentrificación y la especulación hicieron presa a Hackney con los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012 como motor. La expulsión de muchos de sus habitantes originales y la subida de los precios de la vivienda puso seriamente en peligro la existencia de la escena underground de baile de Hackney. 

A lo largo de toda esta historia, Hackney siempre ha sido el hogar de espacios queer alternativos a los clubes gay tradicionales del centro de Londres. The George and Dragon o Boombox fueron espacios que marcaron una época. Como muchos otros locales underground, los locales queer más celebrados del barrio fueron cerrando, hasta que dos veteranos de la escena, Dan Beaumont y Matt Tucker, abren en 2009 Dalston Superstore, espacio queer que desde un primer momento aspiraba a aglutinar a la comunidad queer del barrio y ampliarla incluyendo su radio de influencia a todo Londres. 

Desde entonces, Hackney no ha dejado de crecer y consolidarse como centro de una nueva escena queer, con Michelle Mannetti y Marie Malarie como figuras reconocibles dentro de esta escena, que recoge la antorcha de la tradición underground de Hackney.

**********

HACKNEY STATE OF MIND

Local scenes matter. Marie Malarie and Michelle Mannetti openly claim to be part of the East London scene. More specifically, Hackney. Where does this queer scene, a scene which appears is one of London’s most historical and identifiable working class neighborhoods, come from?

Underground culture is not new to Hackney. From the 1960s onwards, Hackney has been a cultural hotbed, heated by sound-systems and a multitude of small and medium-sized venues where the Anglo-Caribbean diaspora got together as a community. 

In the nineties, Hackney was a broadcasting site for hundreds of pirate radio stations that played Drum and Bass around the clock. At the turn of the century, Hackney has turned into the scene of the epic raves of the Bedlam collective, with the mythical Liberator (Julian, Chris and Aaron) as the visible heads of a scene that is still alive.

Hackney became the birthplace of a whole musical genre, grime, a cross between different hip hop and electronic styles, which marked the early years of the 21st century and turned into the soundtrack of London’s multiracial peripheries. 

But as in so many other popular neighborhoods with a non-submissive cultural identity, the forces of gentrification and speculation took Hackney by storm with the London 2012 Olympic Games. The expulsion of many of its original inhabitants and rising house prices seriously jeopardized the existence of Hackney’s underground dance scene. 

Throughout all this history, Hackney has always been home to alternative queer spaces as an opposing force to the traditional gay clubs of central London. The George and Dragon or Boombox were spaces that marked an era. Like many other underground venues, the most celebrated queer venues in the neighborhood were closing, until two veterans of the scene, Dan Beaumont and Matt Tucker, opened Dalston Superstore in 2009, a queer space that from the beginning aspired to bring together the queer community of the neighborhood and expand its radius of influence to include the whole of London. 

Since then, Hackney has continued to grow and to serve as the center of a new queer scene, with Michelle Mannetti and Marie Malarie as recognizable figures within this scene, which picks up the torch of Hackney’s underground tradition.

GL!TZ*

MANIFIESTO

GL!TZ* como re-vuelta a los orígenes y los valores del house y el techno, una propuesta que busca consolidar una pista de baile justa y segura para todes. La cultura rave se ha convertido en un método autogestionado para la construcción de comunidades de iguales desde sus orígenes contraculturales, afroamericanos y gays en Detroit, Chicago y Nueva York.

GL!TZ*como la otredad, lo queer, la cultura rave. La pista de baile es el hábitat de la comunidad donde las relaciones sociales, políticas, afectivas, sexuales se atan a la cadencia incesante del bajo, que nos llama a mezclarnos en el dancefloor. Nadie es más ni menos que nadie en la pista de baile.

GL!TZ* como realidad impertinente, como devenir abierto, como baile infinito, como cuerpo de baile revolucionario. No hay experiencia sin extrañamiento, transgresión, desajuste, descolocación, tránsito, interrupción…

GL!TZ* como grito empoderado que reclama el derecho de autodeterminación de los queerpos que han tomado el escenario antagonista central y tienen la potencia de agregar las nuevas luchas anticapitalistas, post-género y postcoloniales.

GL!TZ* como políticas de la noche, como acción donde poder crear, desear y sentir nuevos imaginarios que pongan en jaque, desplacen, cuestionen el imaginario cisheterocapitalista impuesto; donde dejarnos atravesar por la música y bailar con ferocidad y asimetría entre lo zigzagueante y lo desgarrado en busca de la agitación individual y colectiva.

Del derecho de admisión por gorilas en garitos,
para gente blanca, hetero y guapa,
al baile de cuerpos disidentes, tullidos y sudorosos.
Nuestro cuerpo pide movimiento, y no se lo vamos a negar.
Necesitamos la pista de baile, ahora más que nunca.
No sólo la queremos, también la necesitamos.
Somos salvajes.

GL!TZ*

MANIFESTO

GL!TZ*, as a re-turn to the origins and values of house and techno, an idea that seeks to consolidate a fair and safe dance floor for all. rave culture has become a self-organized method of building communities of equals, ever since its countercultural, African-American and gay origins in Detroit, Chicago and New York.

GL!TZ* as an otherness, queer, as rave culture. The dancefloor is the habitat of the community, a habitat where social, political, affective, sexual relations are tied to the incessant rythm of the bass, which invites us to blend on the dancefloor. No one is more or less than anyone else on the dancefloor.

GL!TZ* as an impertinent reality, as an open path, as an infinite dance, as a revolutionary dancing body. There is no such thing as experience without estrangement, transgression, maladjustment, dislocation, transit, interruption…

GL!TZ* as an empowered howl to claim the right of self-determination of queer bodies who have taken the central antagonistic stage and have the power to aggregate the new anti-capitalist, post-gender and post-colonial struggles.

GL!TZ* as politics of the night, as an action where we can create, desire and feel new imaginaries that challenge, dislodge and doubt the imposed cisheterocapitalist imaginary; where we can let ourselves be run over by the music, and dance fiercely and asymmetrically between the disheveled and torn, in search of individual and collective frenzy.

From the right of admission by bouncers in clubs,
for white, straight and beautiful people,
to the dance of dissident, crippled and sweaty bodies.
Our body asks for movement, and we will not deny them it.
We need the dance floor, now more than ever.
We don’t just want it, we need it.
We are the wild ones.

GL!TZ*

Manifiesto: It’s time for the Others

  • Others to the Front nace del deseo de crear un espacio inexistente y necesitado, donde sea posible una crítica desde la música y el baile, una crítica a un sistema que nos oprime y que nos dicta reglas a las que no pertenecemos, ni queremos pertenecer. 
  • Others to the Front es una apuesta política de transformación, intervención y acción desde la pista de baile, el club, la música, la mezcla. A la vez que pinchamos y bailamos producimos reflexión y contenido.
    Nuestro método es la autogestión, el trabajo cooperativo, el apoyo mutuo y la toma de decisiones anti-jerárquicamente en asamblea. 
  • En Others queremos que la dimensión central a construir sea la colectiva, poniendo al común las herramientas, el conocimiento o el tiempo de cada une.
    La música electrónica de club, como en cada disciplina, está completamente invadida por un carrerismo personal que se presenta como única forma de escape a una precariedad generalizada.
    Creemos que una de las maneras de superar esta situación es mediante una gestión socializada de los escasos recursos que este modelo genera, para ponerlos en valor y en uso colectivo. 
  • En Others queremos construir comunidad:
    • Frente a un entorno del club y de la noche dominado por cis-hombres blancos heterosexuales que definen quién está dentro y quién no.
    • Frente a una pista de baile que solo responde al consumo fácil de cuerpos y dinero.
    • Frente a un mundo banalizado por la fama.

¡Ha llegado el momento de Others to the Front!

***********

  • Others to the Front was born from the desire to create a non-existent and needed space, where it is possible to criticize, through music and dance, a system that oppresses us and which dictates rules to which we do not belong, nor to which we want to belong. 
  • Others to the Front is a political bet of transformation, intervention and action coming from the dancefloor, the club, the music, the mix. While we DJ and dance we create reflection and content.
    Our method is self-organization, cooperative work, mutual help and horizontal decision-making in assemblies. 
  • In Others we wish the main dimension we build to be the collective one, putting the tools, the knowledge or the time of each one of us to communal use.
    Electronic club music, as in every discipline, is completely invaded by a personal careerism that is presented as the only way to escape from a generalized precariousness.
    We believe that one of the ways to overcome this situation is through a socialized utilization of the scarce resources that this model generates, to give them value and put them to collective use.
  • At Others we want to build community:
    – Against the club and nightlife environment dominated by cis-white heterosexual men who define who is in and who is out.
    – Against a dance floor that only responds to the easy consumption of bodies and money.
    – Against a world trivialized by fame.

It’s time for Others to the Front!

#020 Love Languages

«Originally rooted in black & queer spaces,
house music has historically been a sanctuary for the oppressed.
We honor this history through our own exploration of artists, labels, remixes, samples, etc
all of which has led to house & techno as our love language.
We tend to have an affinity for groovy bass lines and unique tones & textures that get your body movin.
This mix is yet another example of our 10 year long adventure into electronic music together;
showing love to prolific artists who have produced for decades (and continue releasing music),
to innovative artists who evolve these sounds, and a nod to Philadelphia creators.»

«Originalmente arraigada en espacios negros y queer,
la música house ha sido históricamente un santuario para los oprimidos.
Honramos esta historia a través de nuestra propia exploración de artistas, sellos, remezclas, samples, etc.
todo lo cual nos ha llevado al house y al techno como nuestro lenguaje del amor.
Tendemos a tener afinidad por las líneas de bajo groovy y los tonos y texturas únicos que hacen mover el cuerpo.
Esta mezcla es otro ejemplo de nuestros 10 años de aventura juntos en la música electrónica;
mostrando amor a artistas prolíficos que han producido durante décadas (y siguen lanzando música),
a los artistas innovadores que hacen evolucionar estos sonidos, y un guiño a los creadores de Filadelfia».

#019 Strictly 4 The Love

«I had a moment of pure ecstasy and surrender on the dancefloor
when Cinthie dropped “4 The Love” by Karizma and DJ Spen last year at smartbar.
This is where the name of this mix comes from—and those vocals convey precisely what dance music means to me.
These tracks, spanning the continuum of House and UK Garage, were selected and mixed from the heart <3»

#017 House Of Them Booties

«House of them booty es un homenaje a la cultura negra,
a los espacios queer, al sexo y a los culos sudaditos.
Desde la repetición y el loop y con la Roland 808 como dildo,
he querido integrar clásicos y precursores de Dance Mania, Relief y
demás instituciones para conectarlos con algunxs de mis productorxs favoritos del house del momento.
Booty, acid, ghetto, tú te agachas, yo te la meto.
