Podcast 072 - TOM MORGAN

2011-03-06T22:16:00.000-08:00

Slowly but surely, Tom Morgan is establishing himself as one of the next generation of household names, with an ever-increasing fan base and a growing amount of support from the industry’s biggest DJs.

From Bogota to Bangkok, Budapest to Dubai, Tom has forged a reputation as one of the most diligent and versatile artists on the circuit; a view also shared by Desyn Masiello, who tipped him as ‘a DJ who’ll break through in 2006’ in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll.

Tom's tireless devotion to the craft is there for all to hear in each and every set, with his sound possessing a maturity that defies his years.

"I’ve known Tom for a long time since he used to come and see me at one of my first residencies up in Scotland. He’s got a spot on ear for a hot tune and I’ve always supported him - the man has a solid DJ career ahead of him." – Desyn Masiello

Born in 1985, Tom has been immersed in music ever since he can remember. However, since being bitten by the house music bug at the age of fourteen, he hasn’t looked back. A regular at seminal Scottish house night Progression, where regular guests included Desyn, Danny Howells, Luke Fair and Lee Burridge, Tom’s teenage years were spent practically living in clubs. Seeing DJs of that calibre on a regular basis helped feed his passion and provided the basis of an education on what moves a dancefloor.

“I have many ‘where the $%*& did he get that?’ moments when listening to Tom's sets. He plays some of the best music out there and has agreat ear for tunes.” – Luke Fair

Tom is renowned for playing a wide range of music that traverses many genres, with his sound becoming increasingly difficult to pin down; anything from 115 BPM downtempo and deep house all the way through to peak time progressive and banging techno. His sets possess a trademark personal touch; packed with unknown gems that have passed beneath the radar of most, with many tracks edited in line with his musical vision. This reputation was cemented further by Desyn’s decision to hire him in an A&R capacity for his prestigious Alternative Route label; giving him access to a vast number of tracks and ensuring that practically his every waking minute is spent listening to music.

“Tom is undoubtedly a true music lover who is set for great things to come.” - Omid 16B

With Tom’s profile on the rise and his sound creating more demand, a global tour was sparked in 2006, encompassing a host of South American countries as well as all over Europe, Asia and America. This gave him the chance to hone his skills in a variety of environments, both headlining and sharing the booth with DJs like Nick Warren, Jimmy Van M, Desyn Masiello, Omid 16B, Jody Wisternoff, Luke Fair and Spirit Catcher.

"There are many good DJs out there, but every now and then someone grabs attention of your ears in a big way. Someone that has that extra level of polish, and a sound that may draw on others, but is still very unique. Tom caught my ear with these exact characteristics, there's a noticeable intelligence to his sound." - Stuey Dean (www.inthemix.com.au)

2007 saw the launch of his digital imprint, Discoteca Music, alongside Dana Bergquist, balErik, Somnus Corp and more recently, Luke Fair. Their emphasis on quality has generated a lot of support from a vast number of A-list DJs and they’ve attained a reputation for having their collective finger firmly on the pulse; picking up on a host of up-and-coming producers well ahead of the pack. Parties are the latest string in their bow, with the label gigs taking them as far as Guadalajara, Miami, Bogota, Helsinki, Oslo and Toronto.

“Tom Morgan personifies the new generation of progressive house. He never confines himself to one style, always locking the listener into a groove with only one intention, to make the dance floor move. Tom is already the next big thing.” - Gregor Davidson (www.bringthebeats.com) 2010 sees the most significant steps in Tom's career to date.

Following a number of well received podcasts for them, his first compilation is set to be released in conjunction with Electronic Groove: a two-disc mix that showcases his evolving talents. As well as this, Tom is one of the core members of the new Alternative Route concept; where seven members will regularly contribute to a series of mix CDs and worldwide parties, with the intention of pushing their careers to the next level. Add to this a blossoming production alliance with France's Urban Breathe and it is further evidence that Tom is taking strides towards being mentioned in the same breath as the luminaries whose influence helped to shape his sound; with this year representing a coming of age for this young talent.

Podcast 071 - STEVE MAC

2011-02-27T21:14:00.000-08:00

Stephen Michael McGuinness, also known as Steve Mac, is a UK house music producer. As a solo artist, he runs Variation Recordings.

Mac started out as scratch DJ at the age of 11. He met his production partner Rob Chetcuti in a hip-hop group in Malta. They formed the group, The Rhythm Masters.

Mac and Chetcuti also set up a studio followed by a record label, Disfunktional Recordings in 1995. The label was mainly a showcase for the pair's own productions although artists such as Danny Tenaglia, Junior Sanchez, Paul Woolford, and Giorgio Moroder also contributed.

The Rhythm Masters split in 2002 to pursue solo projects, with Mac producing tracks including "Circus Parade", "Da Canto" and "Lovin’ You More (That Big Track)" for CR2. Mac also remixed for Jamiroquai, Charlotte Church and Simply Red. The track "Lovin' You More" is used on the Radio Station "Vladivostok FM" on Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony.

In 2008 Mac released the track "Gotta Have Some Fun"; and in September that year his track "Paddys Revenge" (sampling Penguin Cafe Orchestra's 1984 song "Music for a Found Harmonium") reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.

Mac's most recent release is the track 'The Fly' also for CR2

Podcast 070 - Tom Budden

2011-02-21T16:25:00.000-08:00

The rise of Tom Budden epitomises what can be achieved when a dance music obsessive channels all that dancefloor enthusiasm wisely.

By patiently building a reputation and not being afraid of the graft as well as the good times, he’s carved out an enviable position for himself as an in-demand DJ, producer, label owner and promoter. And taking the long term, focussed approach to his passion is now paying off big time.

A lynchpin of South England’s phenomenally productive, loosely connected house music mafia, which sees the region produce a disproportionate number of the UK’s highest achievers, Tom’s deep, rolling tech-house sounds are seeing his name regularly mentioned in the same breath as the guys who were his early inspiration.

Presenting a thoroughly modern sound that has furrowed paths at both the deeper and the more driving end of the spectrum, his DJ sets are renowned for being precision tuned perfectly for the vibe, the venue and time of night… or indeed day. This has lead to high praise when playing before or after some of the biggest names in the business. But that doesn’t mean Tom is content to play second fiddle, “given the chance I would play all night, and play everything from disco and deep house through to acid house and techno” he says, with a confidence that hints at just how well he’d pull it off.

With a string of seriously high profile gigs at UK clubs including Ministry of Sound, Sakneys, Shindig, matter at the 02 and Cocoon at The End, his international profile has truly taken off in recent years too. Whether it’s smashing it at Kristal in Romania, (where Tom has become a regular fixture on Bucharest’s nightlife scene), touring Australia and Asia alongside James Zabiela or ensuring the après skiers are literally swinging from the alpine rafters when joining James and Nic Fanciulli’s legendary DJ tag team for a night at the Snowbombing festival in Austria.

He remains loyal to his hometown crowd in Southampton alongside the growing global interest, with an ongoing residency at the infamous High Tide Boat Parties, which he also helps promote. It was from this party pedigree that he took another major leap in 2008 and launched his own label, the respected ALiVE Recordings. “The label was originally set up as an output for my own music,” explains Tom, “but it just grew organically. Now I have a handful of regular artists from all over the world as well as attracting some well known names. I’m really proud of its ongoing reputation.”

The label’s tenth release, Tom Budden – ‘The Tree Dance’ was a real milestone for both the imprint and its owner. The track appealed to some of the finest ears from across the board, being played by everyone from deep house DJs to the techno fraternity. It was one of Richie Hawtin’s most played tracks of that summer (just check his Twitter!) while also finding favour in sets as diverse as Milton Jackson’s and Steve Angello’s, and was snapped up for a range of CD mixes by big players including Global Underground and Subliminal.

You’ll also hear his touch further afield, on remixes including Tijuana’s ‘Groove Is In The Air’ for Bedrock, Danny Howells ‘Laid Out’ on Dig Deeper, Simon Rogers ‘EC1M’ on Paolo Mojo's OOSH and Groove Armada's recent single 'History', featuring vocals from Will Young.

The boss expands upon the sound of the label via his popular ALiVE show on Proton Radio, which has been running for 7 years and airs on the fourth Friday of every month. And he’s dropped successful guest mixes for internationally syndicated radio shows including John Digweed's Transitions, Carl Cox's Global and Mark Knight's Toolroom Knights.

If there was a textbook on building solid credentials for clubland success then Tom Budden should have written it. He’s methodically earned a position as one of the most exciting names in dance music, and his continued ascent looks as sure-fire as his enviable track record.

Whether Gabriel is performing live with Somnus Corp or on his own Gabriel knows how to create a vibe on the dance floor that keeps the energy high and the crowd begging for more.

Podcast 065 - RAXON

2010-12-09T11:49:00.000-08:00

At the turn of the millennium was when Ahmed Raxon found electronic music and since then has never looked back.

Born and raised in Abu Dhabi and of Egyptian decent, Raxon later moved to Dubai to attend university, which is where he began DJing in 2005. His keen ear for blending genres of deep, house, progressive and tech house started to get noticed at countless house parties which later lead to gigs in some of the Dubai’s best night clubs.

He later joined forces with the Audio Tonic crew at 360 (one of the top 100 best night clubs in the world as rated by the DJ Mag poll). He has quickly become one of the night’s residents proving he knows what the crowd wants to hear and when they want it here it.

Immersing himself even further in the music, Raxon began producing and remixing in 2007. Realizing that it’s a totally different science from DJing he has spent countless hours in his studio learning what sounds work ‘at the end of the day, music is just a bunch of sounds that trigger certain feelings in your brain, or at least that’s how I like to think of it.’

Being able to get those sounds mixed like a delicious cocktail has allowed him to have remixes and originals on some of the hottest international labels such as Audio Therapy, Sick Watona, Night Drive Music, Witty Tunes and most recently Discoteca Music.

Podcast 064 - MINA

2010-12-09T11:44:00.000-08:00

Born and raised in Rafaela, Santa fe, Argentina.

Guillermina (a.k.a. Dj Mina) developed her affection for music and become an avid collector of jazz vinyls, bossa nova, soul, and some electronic sounds.

Later on in 1996 she moves to Cordoba where she gets involved with dance music. Once she learned how to deejay, her style was deeply influenced by House music.

Eager to expand her musical boundaries, Mina flew to NYC where she got involved with a new breed of deejays and dance sounds. Inspired by that New York trip, Mina decided to settle down in Buenos Aires where she took her hobby more seriously and turned herself into a professional house deejay. As a member of the growing dance community she began djing at hype hangouts like “Grand Bar Danzón”, “Pop Hotel Boquitas Pintadas” and “La Morocha Home” just to name few.

She started off in small venues such as Animal and The Basement (Shamrock) and eventually worked her way up to large venues such as the famous Clubland Pacha, which gave Mina the chance to become a much respected name in the Dj culture amassing an interesting following, attracting cool crowds wherever she played. All this background allowed her to share the line up along with some well known names in the dj international scene like Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler and Satoshi Tommie.

In 2002 she flew to Barcelona and in 2004 she visited NYC where she had great shows. Creamfields has had Mina in all of its southamerican editions. Annually she tours Lima, Guayaquil, Quito, Bogotá, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, San Pablo, Florianópolis and Londrina , but during the summer Mina always makes room in her hectic schedule to spread out her good vibrations in Punta del Este (Uruguay), either djing in the beach when the sun sets or in some of the best bars, restaurants or clubs.

Inspired by the west coast sound veterans Mark Farina and Miguel Migs she also roundes out her mix with touches of funky and jazzy tunes that turn the night into a silky smooth and groovy experience. To listen to Dj Mina’s latest mixes, tune into “The Late night shows” every Sunday from 2 to 4 am on Metrodance 95.1 Fm.

Podcast 063 - ROBERT BABICZ

2010-11-14T20:21:00.000-08:00

With a music career already spanning nearly two decades, comprising four albums and multiple singles, some could think that...

ROBERT BABICZ would be ready to settle down for a quiet life, however, nothing could be further from the truth. With his fourth full length due to drop in March 2010 on Systematic Recordings, Robert Babicz continues to reveal his talent and skill as one of Europe's most essential techno producers.

Straight out of Cologne in 1993, under the pseudonym Rob Acid, Babicz released his first single Happy Answer on London Records, which unexpectedly became a huge club hit. With the rise of acid house influenced records dominating the charts, Babicz was able to ride high on this new wave of club culture.

In addition to becoming an in demand live performer using one of his other names, Acid Warrior, Babicz started to release singles on high profile imprints like Kompakt, Treibstoff and Steve Bug's Audiomatique, as well as his own label, Junkfood. In what Rob appropriately dubs "the rave years" in the mid-nineties, he was already playing all over the world.

During this time Babicz teamed up with Mate Galic and psychedelic sonic experiences of every kind followed, which as Rob himself sums up perfectly came as a result of "excessive sound-research and absurd parties, transistor radio and porn films on big screen". His affiliation with Force Inc a few years later brought a series of more experimental, less dancefloor-orientated works which suggested his theoretical musique concrete roots.

By the turn of the new millennium, Babicz was striving for a different sound and thus began a new label, Shortcut. At the same time, he received multiple requests for sound design from hard and software producers, most notably resulting in the presets he produced for Native Instruments. In 2007 Robert released his landmark record, A Cheerful Temper on Systematic Recordings, which expertly moves between electronica, techno, minimal and classic house.

Playing 'live' has always been a key feature of Babicz's authentic musicianship; improvising instead of reeling off pre-determined sets has made his celebrated shows unquestionably unique events. He consistently delivers astonishing performances of his own productions built around warm melodies, blissed atmospherics & analogue bass - sometimes jacking, but mostly tripping and always around the foundations of his first love: techno. Consequently, Babicz has more than proven his worth in the world of dance music and his right to the title of pioneer and innovator, whether producing tech house, minimal or acid techno.

With the release of Immortal Changes in early 2010, described by DJ Mag as a "marriage of organic groove and glistening electronic melodies" and the recent launch of his own record label, BABICZSTYLE, it is clear that Robert Babicz still has much more to give...

Combining Detroit techno, groovy beats and acid elements, he is forming his unique cool & crispy Jussi-Pekka sound. The sound of the Frozen North. Mr. Parikka manages the crossover between house and techno as only a very few others do, with a subliminal sureness to receive support from a crossfire of DJs from different electronic niches, including the likes of Hawtin, Bug, Villalobos, Garnier, James Holden, Electric Indigo and Timo Maas.

So far he can look back on an impressive release catalogue including productions for highly respected labels such as Poker Flat ( “Dancing Queen”), Morris/Audio (“Work it”), Slip?n?Slide, Audiomatique (“Let it go”), Out of Orbit (“Stereo interleaved”), Dessous, Latenightessentials, Vuo, Statra, Worldless (“The Snake”), Disco Inc/ Force Inc. and not to forget his very own imprint Frozen North Recordings, which he started in 2005 to give himself as well as other Finnish artists the chance to spread the more and more sought-after Scandinavian beats.

Because of the fact that life isn't all beer and skittles at Frozen North Recordings Headquarters in Nokia (which is a suburb of Tampere, the 2nd largest town of Finland), Jussi-Pekka started 2 further sublabels in 2006: “Pakkas Levyt” stading for the Minimal/ Clicks & Cuts and “FloorTools” is representing functional Housemusic from e.g. Man-Of-The-Hour Roberto Rodriguez, ( Acid Kings/ Keys of Life).

Hence it is not surprising that his work also affected the demand on his remix abilities. So far he can look back on additional production work for Jens “never be the same” (Kontor), Kalle-M (“Omena” on Was Kids), Minsisters of Music (Chica Discos) and has recently been chosen to remix Jori Hulkkonen for F-Communications.

If Tampere will ever be named alongside tone-setting cities such as Chicago, London or Berlin, then it?s for sure Jussi-Pekka who achieved that his hometown was established on the map of the global underground dance scene.

For the past five years, Chris Lake has been living the dream.

As a DJ he’s travelled the globe. As a producer, he’s topped industry charts over and over again.As a lover of music, he continues to chase down the freshest beats around. Simply put, he’s become one of the great DJ/ Producers of the world.

In 2009 Chris turned to the Americas with the intention of winning over two of the great musically cultural continents. Two Billboard Dance chart airplay number 1’s and multiple tours, have ensured that from Vancouver to Rio, NYC to Miami… the sound of Chris Lake has travelled far and wide, and is now embraced with loving arms, no matter what the city.

The question is, what is the sound of Chris Lake? Yes, he is known for his electro-pop crossover productions, and based on the success of 'Changes', ‘La Tromba’, ‘Only One’ and ‘If You Knew’, why not? The latter, taking the number one spot in the Music Week, Buzz and Cool Cuts charts, while the accompanying music video was praised by MTV and broke into its Top 5 weekly chart.

As a DJ his vibe is very different, always enjoying the darker and deeper side of electronic music, yet still fusing in homemade edits, just so the dance floor knows it’s a unique experience and one to be savored.

2010 has kicked off with a Michael Woods remix of his collaboration with good friend Deadmau5 ‘I Said’ taking Pete Tong’s first ‘essential new tune of the decade.’ Tours are lined up across the planet and Cream has confirmed Chris as an Ibiza resident for Deadmau5 & Friends at its summer season at Amnesia.

Chris’s label Rising Music is now in it’s fifth year and in a humble fashion, continues to grow with repeating success, supporting young and talented artists from around the world. Chris will be doing his first mixed compilation for two years on Toolroom Knights in late spring with the launch party being held at the Ministry of Sound on May 1st. Whilst back in the studio, he continues his collaborations, working closely with regular studio partner Marco Lys, as well as Michael Woods and Funkagenda.

Chris Lake is….? The word ‘accomplished’ springs to mind. Now it’s up to us to sit back and enjoy the pleasure of watching as his attitude towards music matures and develops… who knows what’s yet to come…

Podcast 055 - POLE FOLDER

2010-09-19T17:44:00.000-07:00

Born in Belgium, Pole Folder was immediately in touch with the music world.

His love and research for musical inspirations drove him to play in the symphony orchestra but also
in Rock n’ Roll bands.

Later, his discovery of the uprising electronic dance scene in Belgium became a new trigger and inspired him to start producing his first electronic tracks.
Driven by the desire to experiment and mix new technologies with melodies, Pole Folder spent some years in his first home studio, trying to develop whatcould be his own vision
of music.

After some experience with Sony Music and with Indian Chiefs Records, he finally found his approach - and it became his signature as an artist. At the same time, his meeting with an established Belgian DJ, CP, gave him the opportunity to deliver music fitted for the dance floor. Together, their collaborations delivered classic EDM tracks like Apollo Vibes (2001) and Dust (2003). These became top selling tracks on the prestigious label Bedrock, the first home of Pole Folder. His meeting with Bedrock owner, John Digweed, a legend in the techno scene, was a major moment in Pole Folder’s career. John Digweed commissioned Pole Folder to write his first artist album to be released.

In 2005, after two years of work, «Zero Gold» was born to critical acclaim. Featuring collaborations from Sandra Ferretti, Shelley Harland and Kirsty Hawkshaw, the album garnered support from both the industry and media. Several «Zero Gold» tracks such as «Faith In Me» and «Salvation On Slavery Sins» have been featured on compilations such as Global Underground, Renaissance, or US TV shows such as Nip/Tuck and CSI. «Apollo Vibes» also featured in the movie «Stark Raving Mad» and «Dust» provided the music for Channel 4’s advertising trailer.

From 2003, Pole Folder started to deliver his music and approach of the dance floor on every continent. In 2006, he started his own show ‘Destinations’ on Frisky Radio. The show was recorded live at various gigs worldwide, and culminated a massive following. This led to Frisky asking Pole Folder to recreate this concept live in the studio, incorporating his regular Pioneer DJ set up and live instruments to release his first compilation, titled «Destinations».

After a collaborating experience as label launcher and A&R with 80Hz and La Tour (2009), Pole Folder started his own label: Reworck. This new label allows him to truly express his full vision of over 10 years of work in the music industry. “Motel”, the first track, received strong support from Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Nick Warren and many others. Reworck is distributed by Kontor in every major digital shop. The second release, “Sabor A Mi”, featuring Sven Jaeger, has already been played on promo by John Digweed on his famous Transitions Radio Show.

Pole Folder is working on a new album and will be ready to deliver the 3rd single of Reworck in October 2010.

Podcast 051 - ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ

2010-08-22T20:24:00.000-07:00

It all started in 1998 on a houseboat in Helsinki harbour.

Roberto Rodriguez was one of the organisers of a "swimming" club night. It all went well till the day of the closing party: some time in August '98, almost the entire Finnish Dj and producer scene played the venue and after a successful night, Roberto & the posse went for a last afterparty to a friend's house.

A few hours later, hardly awake, Roberto watched the newsflash on TV showing his boat - his house, his working place, his party venue, his home. It had sunk shortly after their departure. Roberto lost an impressive collection of classic techno and house records, an elaborated light & sound system and an awful lot of personal stuff.

Working as a garbage truck driver, Roberto still invested all income he could afford in music production equipment. After several months "on the road", he became a producer.

Just a few years later, Simpatico Roberto is known as the producer of the Future Beat Investigators, responsible for their massive success on labels like Raw Fusion or Sonar Kollektiv, also responsible for oldschool-ish Housebombs on Laka or Frisbee Tracks.

So far, some might also know him as a part of the Acid Kings (Sähkö Recordings/ Keys Of Life) or for the 90s Deephouse he dropped via Stereo Deluxe. With the “Engine EP” he opens his book again, reading the new lines of the “Rodriguez House Sound”, this time on Plastic City.

Podcast 045 - LILUCA

2010-07-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

Colombian producers Liluca look to have a bright future ahead of them. Familiar faces in their native country,

2009 looks like being the year they become, household names worldwide. After a handful of releases, Desyn Masiello and Above and Beyond snapped up their 'Clear Senses' track for his prestigious Alternative Route, AnjunaDeep and Anjuna Beats imprint, and subsequently they've carved a niche in the market with their unique brand of emotive house music for both head and feet.

Liluca style is Tech house and Deep tripin techno. Liluca's original mix is a perfect showcase of their flair for melody, possessing a distinct warmth that will undoubtedly evoke a smile or two; Like a lot of their music however, it is deceptively powerful and will have no problems holding its own on the dancefloor.

After his last EP hit the number one spot on the Balance Record Pool, Paul Keeley has been something of a hot property in the house community. Here he displays why his name is on so many top DJs' lips at the moment, with this mix creating a bit of a stir among them. If the original could be said to possess an element of subtlety, Keeley puts paid to this, with a full-on club workout that's guaranteed to get a reaction. His remix is geared towards the latter part of the night, using the breakdown from the original as the focal point.

To round things off, Komytea firmly embrace the sound of today with their take on the track. Their winning combination of classically trained composer and proficient engineer is evident; with a tight sound and strong beats that is complimented by cascading synths and an infectious lead. This is a solid addition to their already impressive CV.

With an artist album in the pipeline and another couple of forthcoming singles for the label, it looks to be a good year for both Liluca and Discoteca. This is a partnership you'll be hearing a lot more from.

Their shared drive and creativity led them to start the production trio Somnus Corp, which has led to a steady stream of releases that have been signed to some of the best labels in electronic music today.

Their discography is successfully growing, most notably with ‘Expo 86’ which was included on Nick Warren’s GU35 Lima and ‘Spacer’ on Hernan Cattaneo’s 2009 Renaissance Masters compilation. Other successful releases have come from their work with Kosmas Epsilon, which produced the smash hits ‘Buenos Tiempos’ and ‘Metal Bronco’ that were played by Sasha & Digweed for thousands of people during their South American tour in 2008.

Hours have been spent in the studio creating enough music to be used for Somnus Live, the act which has the trio playing solely their own productions while re-editing and remixing to create a truly unique listening experience.

As a platform to release Somnus Corp productions as well as showcasing quality tracks released by their peers, in 2007 Gabriel along with his Somnus Corp partners founded arguably one of the best new underground labels of today, Discoteca music, which they share with Tom Morgan, balErik, Dana Bergquist and Luke Fair.

Whether Gabriel is performing live with Somnus Corp or on his own Gabriel knows how to create a vibe on the dance floor that keeps the energy high and the crowd begging for more! He transcends boundaries blending all genres of house into his sets, from tech to progressive, from deep to disco, his mixing and track selections are always on key creating a smooth sound that has drawn listeners from across the globe. He has performed all over Central and South America including his native Mexico, Panama, Buenos Aires, Bogata, Costa Rica and as far as Toronto, Lithuania, Beijing, Dubai and Shanghai. His keen ear and professionalism behind the decks has allowed him to play alongside some of worlds best DJ’s including Sasha & John Digweed, Danny Howells, Nick Warren, Sander Kleinenberg, Luke Fair and Hernan Cattaneo just to name a few.

In a time when everyone wants to be a DJ and 14 year olds are producing tracks from their bedrooms it is becoming the listener’s job to have the ear sharp enough to know what is true talent. Gabriel is a true talent that needs to be heard. His passion and charming personality shines through his music and is making him a world class player as not only a DJ but as a successful producer and label.

Podcast 042 - SILVER CITY

2010-07-01T07:00:00.000-07:00

Julian Sanza y Fernando Pulichino comenzaron su carrera en 1999, liderando el colectivo musical Ciudad Feliz, en su ciudad natal, Mar del Plata.

Luego del lanzamiento de “Barrenador” a mediados del 2000, editado por el sello argentino Estatus Discos y de producciones editadas internacionalmente -mediante los sellos Silver Network (Francia), Stickman (Canadá) y Sonic 360 (Inglaterra)-, en el año 2002, deciden mudarse a Londres; Tras enviar una demo al reconocido sello inglés 2020 Vision, son contactados de inmediato y es así como, contrato de exclusividad mediante, nace Silver City.

El primer 12 pulgadas “1969”, contiene algo que definiría el sonido de Silver City de ahora en adelante transformándose en estilo: bajos en vivo, ritmos que oscilan entre el house, electro, hasta llegar al new disco e incluso rock con la influencia del funk, el disco o el jazz. Los EPs se hicieron cada vez más frecuentes y llegaron “Elastic”, “Say Hi” y “Blah Blah Blah” en donde se enriquecieron las producciones con voces y arreglos de guitarras.

En 2004 se mudan nuevamente: Leeds (norte de Inglaterra) a pedido del sello, para integrar 2020 Soundsystem (junto con Ralph Lawson y Danny Ward), el principal proyecto en vivo del sello. Los shows se anuncian como 2020 Soundsystem feat. Silver City and Dubble D. Ya instalados en Inglaterra, encuentran tiempo para experimentar en su nuevo estudio “The Workshop” y próximos a julio de 2005 presentan su álbum debut “Silver City”. Este álbum se compone de once temas canciones e instrumentales que fusionan funk, house y electrónica, denota una clara influencia del sonido de Manchester, ciudad donde fue producido y mezclado por el reconocido productor Danny Evans (por estos días trabajando con el grupo inglés Elbow). El “larga duración” es altamente aceptado por la prensa especializada y llega a compararse con producciones de la talla de Daft Punk y Mylo.

Luego de esto y manteniendo el “momentum” se comisionan remixes de legendarios artistas como Lindstrom, Spirit Catcher o Phonogenic. Entre ellos, se destaca “Shiver”, remixado por Ewan Pearson. Este track se consagrará como “himno” de la terraza de Space en Ibiza allá por el 2005.

Dos álbumes más, esta vez como 2020Soundsystem vieron la luz: el debut “No Order” (2006) y “Falling” (2009), con sus posteriores remixes, entre los que se destaca “Sliding Away” por Johnny D, que alcanzará el número uno de singles favoritos de todos los tiempos en el website Resident Advisor, y se mantendrá durante semanas consecutivas en el Top 10 general del sello Beatport.

Cuando de otra ciudad que no sea la capital se trata, doble valor toman los resultados alcanzados por aquellos nombres que logran hacerse un espacio en la rígida escena porteña y aún más cuando los logros son del calibre que el artista de ésta semana es poseedor.

Martín Bonansea, nacido en la ciudad de Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina es una de las revelaciones de la escena electrónica argentina y referente indiscutible de su ciudad.

Nacida en la ciudad de Santa Fe (Argentina) y criada en Rafaela, allí mismo Guillermina Molfino comenzó a coleccionar vinilos de jazz, bossa nova, soul y algunos estilos dentro de la música electrónica.

Cuando se mudó a Córdoba (Argentina) en 1996 descubrió particularmente los sonidos del house, género que adoptó como estandarte una vez que aprendió el oficio de mezclar discos. Tras un instructivo viaje a New York en 1999, Mina decidió radicarse en Buenos Aires para transformar el pasatiempo en una actividad profesional, y a base de deep house empezó a musicalizar sus primeras veladas en el Gran Bar Danzón, el pop hotel Boquitas Pintadas y el bar-restaurant La Morocha.

Las experiencias en pistas íntimas de clubs como Animal y The Basement (Shamrock), y en las concurridas y afamadas fiestas de Clubland en Pachá, pronto le permitieron compartir fechas con DJs como Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler y Satoshi Tomiie. Ya solicitada alrededor del país, en esos años incorporó a su trayectoria dos giras por Barcelona (2002) y New York (2004).

Ha llegado a tocar para mas de 15.000 personas en el Sunshine Festival, y ha pasado por cabinas como Pacha de San Pablo, Sirena y Mint Buenos Aires entre otras tantas.

"Nicko:estamos haciendo el lanzamiento oficial de mi agencia, bastante contentos con eso, ya vengo trabajando hace mas de 4 años... y bueno ahora emprendemos este paso nuevo".

El Lanzamiento se llevará a cabo el 14 de agosto en Barcelona (no el 18) en una gran fiesta que entre otros nombres contará con la presencia de Danny Howells y Darren Emerson nada menos.

Podcast 002 - TOM MORGAN live

2010-05-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

Austral Mixing, se enorgullece de presentar su primer guest internacional y con gusto podemos decir que si tuviésemos que nombrar un DJ Escocés, de calidad y que además esté en el top de la escena House como talento emergente, sin duda ese sería Tom Morgan.

Tom, es uno de esos DJs que no abunda en nuestra escena, tampoco nos visita todos los años, pero ha tenido la oportunidad de visitar tierra Platense una vez, y los comentarios no han sido mas que halagos.
Tom comenzó a interesarse por la música a los 15 años de edad, una noche en Edinburgo, su ciudad natal en una fiesta llamada Progression la cual probablemente abrió sus ojos y en la cual pudo escuchar los DJs que mas tarde darían forma a su sonido. Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair y Lee Burridge.

"Tom:Antes que todos ellos, probalmente quien supo captar mi atención fueron Sasha y Digweed con sus compilaciones de Global Underground Ibiza y Hong Kong que han sido las primeras mezclas que realmente me han asombrado y todavía las escucho semi-regularmente".

Tom es DJ profesional hace 2 años solamente, y como muchos otros ha intentado hacer malabares con la universidad lo cual evidentemente no ha funcionado.
Su primera gran actuación fue en Mexico, Guadalajara en Abril del 2006,
"Un promotor me contactó luego de escuchar un set mío en un mensaje, creí que era una broma, pero no, desde allí comencé a conseguir más y más shows además de haber conocido a Somnus Corp, mis compañeros y socios en el sello"

Este joven DJ de 23 años, lidera el sello discográfico Discoteca Music junto a Luke Fair, balErik, Dana Bergquist y Somnus Corp los cuales no tardarán en hacerse conocidos, según nos cuenta, a excepción de Luke, claro está, que ya todos bien conocemos.

Artistas como Jody Wisternoff, Dosem, Stef Vrolijk y Lithuanian disco son tan sólo algunos de los artistas que editará por su label muy pronto.

Sin mucho mas que agregar y habiendo prometido tanto, escuchemos este joven talento Escocés de Edinburgo, iniciado en Glasgow y residente en Londres.

Austral Mixing llegó para quedarse, y para que la bienvenida sea grata,
nos visita un artista que sin duda está a la altura de las circunstancias.

Mariano Martinez A.K.A. PHUNKTASTIKE,
Comenzó con la música en el año '99 pero no fue sino hasta el año 2003 que su carrera tomaría un tinte profesional cuando Luke Fair comenzó a mezclar sus producciones originales en sus sets.

"A mis primeras actuaciones las llamabamos las fiestas almacén"
Nos cuenta...
"Teniamos unos amigos que tenían un local inutilizado en su casa y montabamos nuestras fiestas privadas ahi, luego llegó hacer warm ups en algunos clubs, B2B con Ronan y Leo Portela en Shamrock, y finalmente llegué a mezclar en Brasil, entre otros lugares"

Mariano, considerado uno de los talentos recientes de la escena house Argentina y de Sudamérica, ha conseguido con sus producciones, captar la atención de artistas de primera línea como Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair, Jody Wisternoff (Way out West) por nombrar sólo algunos.

Remixó artistas como Add2Basket, Nightriders, Amine Edge, Interplay, Karran & Porter, D-Pulse entre otros y editó material para sellos como Extrema Music(NL), Baroque(UK) y Only Records(UK).
Su habilidad y minuciosidad para buscar y encontrar música, hizo captar la atención del Sello Symphonic Records, regenteado por Desyn Masiello, para el que fue convocado para formar parte como A&R.
A su vez, compartió cabinas con artistas de la talla de Rowan Blades, 16Bit Lolitas, Ricky Ryan, Jaytech, y Lucas Abadi.
