A/V Legends in Bucharest

When MTV aired its first ever music video on August 1, 1981, it was no coincidence that it was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles. Since that moment, the music video has grown to be a discipline apart, acting as a showcase for creativity and innovation. Fast forward two decades to 2001 and no one had yet thought of recording an album with the videos already built in to it. Then along came UK duo HEXSTATIC from Ninja Tune with their debut audio-visual LP “Rewind.” It featured a CD-Rom music video, which the user could play on their computer and watch while listening to the music.

HEXSTATIC are Stuart Warren Hill and Robin Brunson, and together they have been vibing club-goers since ’95, taking the AV/VJ phenomenon to new levels and consistently breaking new grounds in Audio-Visual entertainment.

HEXSTATIC are performing the second time in a museum after Guggenheim in Bilbao, last year.

“…the sweep and creativity of HEXSTATIC’s mixing stand out… HEXSTATIC clips are as meaningful as they are busy… Though definitely caffeinated and propulsive enough for the clubs, HEXSTATIC is also warm and reflective enough to establish Warren-Hill and Brunson as artists during the coming years.” Steven Boone, leading US new media magazine Res.
