    Hey everyone!!!!

     

    La Mission is hosting a fundraising dinner followed by an extended party-a-thon and then a durational performance. it is best contextualized as: revolutionary action of seeking utopia, refusing a false scarcity economy, understanding that revolutionary action brings reactionary oppression and sometimes death, acting out that oppression/death as "comedown", and showing our permanent commitment to revolutionary action despite possible negative outcomes through permanent signifiers (tattoos).

    all info can be found on this event page and PLEASE if you would like to attend the dinner on saturday email your full name to joinlamission@googlemail.com we are limited to 30 places!

    Second Performance Imminent!
     

    LA MISSION & KNUCKLE CARTEL PRESENT: 
    performance/ART 002
    Common Revilings

    BERLIN, GERMANY. On March 29th and 30th, La Mission & Knuckle Cartel will present the second performance in their kunst/WORK series. (performance/ART) 002: Common Revilings is an experimental theater/dance performance that is based on (performance/ART) 001: A non-Aristotelian Drama in Five Parts (February, 2013) and La Mission’s second EP “The Good Ship” (official release pending). The performance is an irrepressible testimony on collective and individual identity, the valid and necessary pursuit of Utopia, and the wonders and perils of the human condition. This work is a sonic, visual, and sensational milkshake that will, without a doubt, bring both the boys and the girls to the yard (thank you Kelis and The United Dairy Farmers of America).

    First Performance Imminent!

     

    On February 1st and 2nd, the notorious-glorious record label La Mission & associated performance company Knuckle Cartel will present the first of five performances in their kunst/WORK series. performance/ART 001: a non-Aristotelian Drama in Five Parts is an experimental performance based on the satirical cinematic masterpiece “Network” and La Mission’s the “Time is Up Jazz” EP. Something happens in this image-based, movement-heavy, nudity-promoting performance piece, and then (holy shit!) something else happens. It is staged by Mandie O’Connell (La Mission/Knuckle Cartel/ex-Implied Violence/current swimming enthusiast) and features the intimidating talents of Luis-Manuel Garcia (La Mission/Max Planck Institute Fellow/ex-Parisian/current Berliner), Anja Struck (La Mission/ex-Berliner Ensemble/current cat owner), Magdalena Schnitzler (ex-Berliner Ensemble/Aalto Musiktheater Essen/current Bearded Lady), Laila Cola Weeks (La Mission/ex-Albuquerquean/current Naked Mennonite), and a couple of extremely beautiful people.

    The piece will be installed and performed in the charming, dungeon-like doom cellar at Tischendorf, a cozy coffee shop on Friedelstrasse. The half-hour piece will be performed twice each evening. Upon arrival, audience members will be assigned to the first or second performance of the night. Because the coffee shop will remain open throughout the show, audience members can drink coffee & wine or dine on cake & cookies before and/or after witnessing the boobs & the carnage.

    PAY WHAT YOU WILL
    *nobody will be turned away because they cannot pay money!

    RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED
    send us a message NOW with the date (Friday, February 1st or Saturday, February 2nd) time (20.00 or 20.30) and number of tickets you'd like to reserve.

    SOPHISTICATED BOOTY CALL 

    LIVE-CROWDFUNDING MIT INKUBATO & LA MISSION AM MERKEZI 

    The Cult of La Mission Squeezes Your Booty Until Money Falls Out!

    BERLIN, DEUTSCHLAND. La Mission ist der neue Labelprojekt von dem stets beliebten und manchmal ehrenwerten Beaner (Bar25, Thema, Workthemrecords, Little Helpers, La Mission). Mehr als ein einfaches Plattenlabel, ist La Mission ein weltanschaulich gerichtetes Kunstprojekt, das die Politik, Aufführung, Literatur, und elektronische Tanzmusik in einen würzigen Enchilada zusammen verknüpfen. Zurzeit sensibiliert La Mission die Massen und dazu Geld beschafft durch Crowdfunding-Initiativen bei dem US-basierten Indiegogo und dem Berliner Inkubato. Am 24. Oktober—in einem allerletzten Versuch, ihren Fundraisingziel von 3000 Euro zu erreichen—laden La Mission und Inkubato euch herzlich ein, zu einer Live-Crowdfunding-Veranstaltung an dem Merkezi (dessen Name übrigens “Treffpunkt” oder “Zentrum” auf Türkisch bedeutet)! Die Veranstaltung wird viel darbieten, wie z.B. Musik von unserem beliebten Beaner (und Kamaraden), günstiges und leckeres peruanisches Essen von einem echten heißblütigen Peruaner (LMGM von La Mission), eine Verlosung, einen unanständigen Fotoautomat, Jonestown-inspierierte Shots, und (*trommelwirbel*) LIVE-CROWDFUNDING! Inkubato wird vor Ort sein, um euch mit der Öffnung des Geldhahns zu helfen. Bringt eure Bargeld, Kontodaten, Paypal-Kennwörter, erstgeborene Kinder (für den peruanischen Topf), und eine Handvoll von Kondomen (um ein zweitgeborenes Kind zu vermeiden). EIN EINMALIGES EVENT-ANGEBOT: DAS ERSTE EP, MAGAZIN UND VORSTELLUNGSEINTRITT FÜR NUR 25 EURO KAUFEN (SONST 33 EURO WERT).

WE ARE LA MISSION

Yo. I am Pablo aka “Beaner” aka “Skirtchaser” aka “El Frijolero” etc. I am an internationally working musician and dj who has enjoyed a modicum of success, but who doesn’t like what has happened to the musical landscape vis-a-vis “conservatism” in respect to both Money and Art. I mean the relationship of the two, okay? It sucks. And I want to change it.

This is Mandie (yo) aka “Knuckle Cartel”, a former big cheese and intellectual powerhouse behind the wildly successful Seattle-based experimental theater company Implied Violence. I, Mandie, agree with Pablo’s qualms regarding the music scene, and I have experienced the same “conservatism” and capitalistic partnership between Money and Art in the performance/theater scene. Witnessing firsthand the immense power that cash-wielding creeps hold over creatives is sickening, sad, and sordid. I’ve had enough, and so have you...right? Let’s fix a broken system. If we can’t fix it, let’s circumvent it.

Hiya. it's Luis aka "LMGM." I'm a dancer, a writer, a scholar (and an amazing cook of Peruvian food, thankyouverymuch). Somehow, I've turned my years of experience in rave scenes and club cultures into a career as a scholar of electronic booty-shaking music (so to speak). Ethnomusicology, music anthropology, popular music studies, dance studies, gender studies, affect theory: these are all things i do in one way or another. Ever since disco crashed under the exploitative mismanagement of major record labels in the late 70s, dance music has been increasingly shaped by capitalist music markets that only recognize familiar "pop" formulae and massive sales. In the process, electronic booty-shaking music has mostly lost its connection to its original contexts. This music was (and, on some dance-floors, still is) the ass-jiggling soundtrack to the utopian nocturnal worlds of sexual, ethnic, and class outcasts of an unjust system. This history is still urgently relevant, as global neo-liberal capital systems increasingly destabilize communities, neutralize political resistance, and profit off the world's most vulnerable. I want to revive and revisit the politics of booty-shaking in an unjust world.

Wir sind La Mission

Yo, ich bin Pablo. Alias „Beaner“, alias „Skirtchaser“, alias „ElFrijolero“. Ich bin Musiker und DJ, als solcher weltweit aktiv, und das inzwischen auch einigermaßen erfolgreich. Und ich bin unzufrieden mit dem allgemeinen Konservatismus bezüglich Kunst und Geld, der sich im Musikgeschäft in den letzten Jahren breit gemacht hat. Genauer gesagt: dem (Un)Verhältnis der beiden zueinander, wenn du weiß, was ich meine. Das stinkt mir, und ich will es ändern.

Hi, ich bin Mandie alias „KnuckleCartel“, und meines Zeichens Oberboss und kreativer Kopf von Seattles ungeheuer erfolgreicher Experimentaltheatergruppe ImpliedViolence. Ich teile Pablos Einschätzung bezüglich der Musikszene, und habe denselben Konservatismus, dasselbe kapitalistische Abhängigkeitsverhältnis von Geld und Kunst in der experimentellen Theaterszene beobachten können. Ich habe mit ansehen zu müssen, welche Macht mit dicken Geldbündeln wedelnde Kotzbrocken über die wirkliche Kreativen haben, und finde das widerlich, traurig, und rundweg schäbig. Ich hab genug von dieser Scheiße. Du doch sicher auch, oder? Verändern wir also das System! Und falls das nicht möglich sein sollte, umgehen wir es halt!

Hallo, ich bin Luis alias „LMGM“. Ich bin Tänzer, Schriftsteller und Lehrer (und kann außerdem auch noch hervorragend peruanisch kochen). Ich habe es irgendwie geschafft, meine jahrelangen, in diversen Technoszenen und Clubkulturen gemachten Erfahrungen in eine Karriere als Dozent für elektronische Arschwackelmusik (wenn man so will) zu überführen. Meine Themen sind Musikethnologie, Musikanthropologie, Studien der Populärmusik, Tanztheorie ???, Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung, Affekttheorie. Seit dem vom ausbeuterischen Missmanagement derMajorlabels verschuldeten Zusammenbruch der Disco-Szene in den späten 70erJahren des letzten Jahrhunderts ist Club- und Tanzmusik immer mehr den Zwängen des kapitalistischen Musikmarktes unterworfen worden. Und dieser kennt (und anerkennt) halt nur die üblichen Pop-Formeln, und hat nur ein Ziel: möglichst viele Platten zu verkaufen. Mit dem Ergebnis, dass elektronische Arschwackelmusik die Verbindung zum originalen Kontext fast völlig verloren hat. Musik, die früher der Soundtrack der utopischen Nacht-Welt derer war (und auf einigen Dancefloors immer noch ist), die ein ungerechtes System auf Grund ihres Geschlechts, ihrer Herkunft oder auch ihrer Klassenzugehörigkeit an den Rand gedrängt hatte. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass das globale neo-liberale, kapitalistische System zunehmend Communities destabilisiert, politischen Widerstand neutralisiert und gerade die Schwächsten gnadenlos ausnutzt, ist eine Besinnung auf diesen historischen Hintergrund wichtiger den je. Ich will die Politik des arschwackelnden Widerstandes in einer ungerechten Welt wieder aufnehmen und neu beleben.
