Taranto 2018

Among the curi­os­it­ies, the arrival at Med­imex 2018 of the inter­nauts of the most fam­ous and beloved satir­ic­al web­site in Italy, Lercio.it, with Ler­cio inter­nauts per­form­ing dur­ing the change of stage, and the breaks sched­uled between one con­cert and the oth­er of the artists per­form­ing on the main stage of the Rotonda del Lun­go­mare in Taranto. Funny news­casts, unlikely fea­tures and the best of the site’s con­tent, will take the audi­ence on a fun and hil­ari­ous jour­ney through the news pro­grams. Of course under the ban­ner of “dirty job of the news out­lets.

And then, the event Med­imex Music Mar­ket, organ­ized by PopUp The Sunday, Dis­play Agency, Dis­cip­line, Node, Cool­club, Fiera del Disco SUD Italia: a unique event that has com­bined the world of inde­pend­ent labels to that of col­lect­ors care­fully selec­ted for a trade fair with exhib­it­ors from all over Italy and Europe, togeth­er with a pro­gram of djsets, live shows and con­fer­ences with inter­na­tion­al guests, with a focus on the most inter­est­ing labels on the loc­al scene. “Inde­pend­ent Label Mar­ket” is the Lon­don brand that has brought togeth­er over 300 of the most import­ant inde­pend­ent labels from around the world that sell dir­ectly to the pub­lic their just released pro­duc­tions. Med­imex Music Mar­ket also saw a comeback of the Record Fair, foun­ded in Taranto, one of the largest in the coun­try, with the par­ti­cip­a­tion of exhib­it­ors from all over Italy, includ­ing some of the biggest vinyl col­lect­ors in Italy. The Med­imex Music Mar­ket pro­gramme also fea­tured djsets with nation­al and inter­na­tion­al DJs rep­res­ent­ing the labels hos­ted and pro­pos­ing sets of highly selec­ted music from funky to reg­gae, from indie to elec­tron­ic, from soul to punk, all care­fully selec­ted under PopUp The Sunday artist­ic dir­ec­tion, for very spe­cial brunches and music aper­itif cock­tails.
