Pre-Opening: Ulrich Drechsler AZURE

On the 28th of January 1923, Kärntner Wasserkraftwerke AG (KÄWAG), the predecessor of today’s KELAG, was founded in Klagenfurt. Two years later, the pumped-storage power plant in Techelsberg am Wörthersee was connected to the grid. Since then, it has supplied large parts of central Carinthia with green electricity and is now open to the public as a showcase power plant. On the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Carinthian energy provider, Ulrich Drechsler and his formation AZURE will unleash an electro-acoustic storm of trip hop, drum’n’bass, jazz and club music, contributing to a powerful increase in wattage for one evening. With AZURE, Ulrich Drechsler invites you to a journey of discovery into the boundless world of electronic sounds, beats, atmospheres and melodies. He is accompanied by Lukas Leitner and Bernhard Höchtel, among others, who create a flowing sea of sounds and beats on the synthesiser, and Raphael Keuschnigg, who provides ruthless live rhythms.
