LLamatron
Originally from the Breakcore scene, LLamatron is now claiming the Warstep term by producing a non-conventional hard dubstep music, savage and chaotic at the same time.
After a first EP, Mirror of War, on Accomodus, he joined the Peace Off label where his second EP, Ave Llama, came to life. Last fall, he started a new project with UK artist Gore Tech, and finished the soon-to-be-released Warhound EP on Rotator’s label.
His stunning rhythms and saturated bass will not leave you cold-hearted, but instead insufflate you a strong insane will to destroy your neighbor. enjoy life! – or survival?

Johnny Sideways
After making an impact on the UK’s underground scene around the turn of the century, Johnny made his vinyl début in 2003 on acid techno label Dirtbomb records, though by this time was already developing the harder, breakbeat infused tekno sound he would become renowned for, taking in influences from Hardcore Techno and the European Tribe/Hardtek sounds he was playing while DJ’ing for the legendary Desert Storm Soundsystem.
In 2005 he formed his own label Kaotek Wreckords, as an outlet for the hybrid sounds he and others were producing. Now having played countless livesets in destinations all over Europe, and a back catalogue spanning 10 years on labels such as Tekiteazy, Electrokanibal, Absolute Rhythm and more, Johnny Sideways chews up and spits out genres into a living wall of sound..improvised, upfront and engaging..a purists nightmare..and devastating on the dancefloor.

Stazma The Junglechrist
If Breakcore is dead, then Stazma the Junglechrist is the resurrection!
Hailing from the same French stock as Monster X, Rotator and the infamous Peace Off imprint, Julien Guillot has been smashing up raves all across Europe since his first release on Peace Off in 2008 and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Having taken the early breakcore ethos of genre mashing and amen splicing, Julien delivers his sound of rave, gabber, jungle and dub with a modern, tight production that seems synonymous with the French these days.
As well as making a name for himself with releases on Meganeural, Structural Damage and Peace Off, it is Stazma’s live show which displays his work best. A frenetic, yet finely tuned assault on the senses.
“It’s really very energetic, efficient and has all the elements to both kick out your sissy friends out of the club and make the rest party till late after dawn. Stormy, ravy breakcore.” Nic (Ad Noiseam)

Xeroderman
Young belgian breakcore/IDM producer, Xeroderman started out in 2008.
Of influences going from the punk hardcore to the classical music, he participates in several compilations, spotted, among others, by labels Mozyk and Peace Off, and should soon bring out his first EP soon on Kaometry.
He’s slowly making his name and a place in the middle, and we can certainly believe that it is one of the most promising figures of the Belgian breakcore, to follow, thus, without moderation!

The refugee center Eisenhüttenstadt remembers us a prison. To come in and out as a visitor you need to deposit your passport and be invited by a refugee who needs to come to pick you up from the gatekeeper’s house and deposit also her /his special identitycard from the lager. The high barbed wire all around reinforces this impression. Also does the long grey corridors inside the buildings where the people live with all the same grey doors with different numbers on it. It looks bleak and disconsolate. Moreover the lagers mostly are isolated, in rural and xenophobic areas. When they have a look outside their windows on the one hand they see the office buildings where they need to present theirselve for the interview after it will be decided if they can stay for the first instant and will be send to another lager where they live while the whole asylum procedor continues or if they will be closed in into the official prison which they can see if they look out of the window on the other hand on the same terrain. The cases which are more easy to deport for example because it’s a case of dublinII, which means the refugee were forced before on their travel to germany to give her/his fingerprints to the police in any other european country, are normaly edited and refused fast. In cases where it’s unclear if the person maybe has the right after german refugee law to get asylum in germany can last for years. We were told about a chinese man waiting since 18years the answer to his asylum apply. Force people to wait, to live in this circumstances, to grow their children there, if days or years, that’s inhuman and traumatizing!

Currently, the immigration law in Germany specifies that the applicant for political asylum must have both political and personal motivations. That means it is not enough anymore that your ethnic group or nation is under threat of death, but he/she has to prove specifically to have suffered to the own person direct intimidation and persecution.

Obtain German citizenship in general is very difficult, for example, it took 5 years to get the German documents for a girl whose father is German, but the mother is Mexican.

The first reception center (Erstaufnahmelager) divides people according to their nationality in different regions of Germany, for example in Brandenburg there is the Kenyan community, although in reality the first necessity with which to cope is the availability of sleeping places.

One of the entry accesses to Europe together with Lampedusa, Greece and Spain is Cyprus.

Another point of access that has been tried is Israel as a European Economic island in the Middle East, but it is a farce in which they were just stapled money to hundreds of desperate, there is no law about migrants in Israel, there is therefore no possibility of legalization, many people have found themselves directly expelled or imprisoned after traveling the journey of hope.

To enter Germany migration run frequently from Poland. Migrants in Germany can come directly to apply for asylum but if they were find in Poland before they will be put in deportation prison and directly repatriated.

The detention in first reception centers is about 3 months, but is extended like in the case of the Syrians whose deportation to their countries of origin is at the moment not allowed.

Families can stay together.

Most of the buildings have shared bathrooms and kitchens.

As support in the majority of cases they receive tickets instead of money, prepaid vouchers with which they can choose between certain kinds of daily necessities in certain stores (which are more expensive than others), which are then individually cooked in those shared kitchens. There is still going on the “Antira-Einkauf” (antiracist shopping) which means that activists meet refugees at the shoppingcenter to buy their food but instead of paying with their money they change it against this prepaid vouchers.

In theory, every human being has the right to 6 square meters of space. In general, the condition of facilities is good, but still there are no adequate health care.

Asylum seekers may not have a contract of employment. Even once granted asylum increased from 1 to 3 years to receive the qualification to work, and when you finally can apply for the job application will only be considered if a percentage of Germans previously contacted gave a negative reply.

From the first reception centers you can freely leave but to leave the boundaries of the municipality for the center to which they are assigned, they must make a written request for permission to holiday,  also legally it’s free they mostly are asked to pay between 10 and 20 Euros. A lot of times the requests are refused without any explanations. Also if the request was to leave to berlin center for example to meet the lawyer or to go to the doctor.

It is not clear considering they cannot work how they should get the money they need to pay for the permits.

It is not encouraged the exchange of information between inside and outside the centers, for example you can not resume or photograph the buildings, there is a form of state information on the situation of reception centers and deportation, and even more serious in the centers reception, asylum seekers are not informed about their rights, but only on their duties.

Within the reception centers there is not any form of education and entertainment investment of time on the part of immigrants. There aren’t any classes for the chlidren also there exist the obligation in germany for every child to attend class and the right of access to education is written down in the constitution. To overcome these deficiencies are non-profit associations and church, only they realize: German courses, offer legal advice, psychological and social integration. Often associations are limited and thwarted by law and in some cases they need to work undercover to transport material inside the center.

Juma an African immigrant, coming from Chad, should have be deported back to Italy because of DublinII on August 28. He was registrated by his fingerprints in Italy before, that why after DublinII Italy needs to decide about his apply of asylum and he was not allowed to ask asylum in any other european country. To avoid his deportation back to Italy he committed suicide on May 28.

On 19 July 2013 there was a demonstration in memory of Juma and in support of the dismantling of detention and deportation laws.

He was sadly not the first case of suicide because of her/his desperate situation as a person asking asylum in europe to whom we mourn. http://www.anti-rar.de/doku/PE_english_20.pdf

The majority of deportations travel from Frankfurt am Main, the pilot can choose not to fly the plane with a deportee above! Frequently, the deportations are not announced to the crew, but it is up to the pilot’s decision whether to continue the journey to a deported or not. A good rule is therefore that the foreigner in the airport and when boarding the plane makes ​​present to all his situation, if necessary by screaming.

In particular the Lufthansa airline frequently used to deport, after pressure from consumers and implemented by the pilots, it has refused to host future deportations.

Oranien platz in Berlin, Kreuzberg from October 2012 exists and resists the refugees camp, an initiative that brought together the strength of immigrants from different german lagers, in a symbolic march from Wurzburg to the capital, a trip down a month to walk through 600 km of Germany and arrive in the capital to demand the right to asylum.

The march had a big impact on the media so to force the government to receive a committee, unfortunately the requests were not accepted, the only small victory has been the abolition of Residenzpflicht in some regions of the country, literally Residenzpflicht “the requirement of residence” is the requirement for asylum seekers and those who got it, to reside only in the area assigned to them.

In January 2013, refugees have also occupied an abandoned school that is still active today, many initiatives have been organized, hunger strikes, occupation of embassies, forays into public offices.

The protest is not over yet.

21.00 Uhr: Nomads Africa präsentiert “Cinéma Ambulant Projet” (Travelling Cinema Project)
21.30 Uhr Doku: “Donka, Radioscope d’un hopital africaine” (Guinea 1997, Thierry Michel, 59 Min., frz. m. engl. UT) – Donka Hospital in Conakry, Guinea – the largest public hospital in the country – is similar to many African hospitals. Built in 1959 just before independence, it was designed based on a European model, with little consideration for the realities of Africa. The most important hospital in the country, its plight typifies the crisis affecting the entire African health sector. Over the years the hospital has accumulated substantial debt that neither the Guinean state nor international agencies will pay. Compelled to develop its financial autonomy, the hospital enforces a pay-as-you-go policy. This financial strategy is rigorously applied, but at a high human cost. In this hospital of last resort, families strive to save a child or parent, but without money, there are no drugs and little chance for survival. Revenues rise, but access to treatment diminishes.As we follow the floor-to-floor progress of patients, their families, doctors and nurses, portraits alternate to form a living chronicle where tragedy meets hope.
