Finally the time has come to release our first trailer to the world. This is an expanded version of the teaser trailer, with even more perspective on the characters, plot and theme of the movie, Speaking in Code.

The Spring 2007 trailer highlights a few plotlines - especially that of Modeselektor in their quest for success (“I’m still thirsty, it’s not enough”) and our friends the Wighnomy Brothers dealing with sudden success (“it took only two years for explosion”). The extended trailer features commentary along the way from BPitch Control’s Sascha Funke, Journalist (and consulting producer) Philip Sherburne, unlockedgroove’s Dan Paluska and yours truly, co-producer David Day.

The trailer was edited by director Amy Grill, who also worked on the motion graphics that enhance the trailer by putting it in context (“a portrait of a subculture in a digital age”).

The performance footage people have been emailing us about will come. That’s the easy part (“I hope to drive them crazy” “You will”). sQuare productions plans to expand and enhance our trailers as we uncover new footage and log more moments from our extended archives (“Scott! stop shooting!”).

In other words… more to come.

Trailer on Virb, trailer on Dailymotion, trailer on Imeem, the Speaking in Code MySpace.

Speaking in Code needs investors now more than ever. We are at a critical phase in development. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a movie producer, reach out to our own producer, Alexandra Lee.

Dan Paluska (the one in the “Keg King” t-shirt there) is the lead singer in local band Electric Laser People, whom we have booked for a show this Saturday:

Paluska plays alongside discoid/noise duo Mahi Mahi from the Providence art scene, DJ Tanner Ross, Boston’s adopted techno star, and the Peasantry, which includes DJ Etan.

The show is being co-promoted with Proletariat, the fab anarcho-boutique in Harvard Square. Go buy their awesome clothes!

A set from Etan (Nate Donmoyer) is available for download. Called “Civil Discobedience II” it’s filled to the brim with current electro hits:

DJ Etan - “Civil Discobedience II”

He, Dan and Tanner will throw down sets of dance music all night long. Tanner Ross is our featured DJ.

Buy $8.00 advance tickets here.

Robag continues to break the rules bringing funk into techno. His latest, “Dopamin” employs a whimsical bassline that bounces like a kangaroo. We’ve heard it in DJ sets and it bonanas in the mix:

Robag Wruhme - “Dopamin”

And this Jodeci track has been on our brains since we interviewed JD Twitch (Optimo) for Pitchforkmedia (Keep an eye on the influencial site for our Optimo feature soon). This is the Cloak n Dagger mix:

Jodeci - “Freek U (Cloak n Dagger Mix)”

And if you don’t feel like rocking with Allston’s finest this Saturday, you better be at Motor on Lansdowne St. Their amazing brand of dark techno sets your skin on edge. Here’s a link to a DJ mix from Motor’s Bryan Black:
