Joe And Will Ask ?

aaron — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:37:19 +0000

Joe and Will met in 2005, both coming from very different musical backgrounds. Joe was releasing drum and bass 12” records while Will came from the hard house and trance scenes. Their name describes their relentless passion to constantly explore genres of music, and represent their different influences within their own characteristic sound that they have become so well known for.

They started collaborating in 2007, and almost immediately drew attention from local DJs at respected nights such as Trash, as well as club promoters and indie labels. Their residencies at underground club nights soon moved into playing at some of the hottest nights in London; Matter, Trailer Trash, Durrr, Club NME, Boombox, Scala, Ministry of Sound, the Egg to name a few, as well as gigs across the UK, Berlin, Florence, Milan, Budapest, Bucharest, Lille, and Ghent..

Meanwhile their productions have been equally well received. Coming across with dirt and cutting edge production and an eye firmly on the dance floor, but also with effortless musicality not normally associated with techno, they win over fans from the band/ indie scene, as easily as diehard clubbers. They inject tonality and musical flow into everything they touch, all under the banner of techno or electro or whatever you would like to call it, and have been compared to SoulWax, Chemical Brothers, DIM and Popof.

The duo signed to Andrew Friendly’s Gulp Communications in 2008, and have released three EPs worth of material, appearing in the Cool Cuts Chart, and bringing a wide fanbase to themselves including Brodinski, Kris Menace, Vicarious Bliss, Casper C, Acid Jacks, AutoKratz, Dark Globe, Jody Wisternoff, Cazals, Matik, Virgin Tears to name a few. They went on to remix a wide array of artists, from the highly blogged Mystery Jets remix, to La Roux on Kitsune/Polydor, Revolver (EMI), The Bell, Jupiters Heroes, Acid Girls, Revolver, Franz & Shape, Division Kent (Sony), Circuit Freq, Milke and Atomizer. There are many other remixes in progress for the likes of Ministry of Sound, and EMI’s new priority band ‘Hockey.

Sharps

hagop — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:42:07 +0000

Sharps began making music as a child by experimenting with cheap keyboards, casette tape and broken machines. Today his music has evolved into a hitech bass music for size large sound systems. His productions are driven by the need for massive tracks that rock dance floors and push the boundaries of genre and style.

Having cut his teeth early on listening to the adventurous music of Aphex Twin and Autechre, Sharps learned the value of doing things differently, yet recognizes the excitement and energy that comes when people gather together to wash their souls in bass. Sharps draws his influences from many facets, but counts the glitch sound, dubstep, miami bass, breakbeat and random dance music among his top sources of inspiration.

Although he is at the beginning of his journey through dance music, his productions have already caught the attention from top artists and DJs from both sides of the pond including Si Begg, Mat the Alien and Bassnectar. Other accolades include a national Canadian award for composition in 2002, and top reviews for his tracks on www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk.

Sharps comes from Western Canada, a land of legendary sound systems and forest parties, and has been involved with the undergound music culture in the area since 1995. Co-owner and manager of Saedos Records, Sharps continues to develop the label, bringing outstanding tracks to the world.

CSY is a London based dance music producer, combining Electro, Techno and House music in an infectious manor.Being housed by hip hop as a youngster, CSY became actively involved in the UK hip hop scene and enjoyed many an Ill Commotion DJing to the Hip Hop hungry crowds. Djing was an important step in shaping the sound CSY now produces, learning what made the dance floor move whilst trying to avoid the obvious club tunes helped train his ear to the sounds he liked which ultimately moved him away from hip hop and into dance music. So even though CSY now has a serious case of the “Techno Bug”, you hear his Hip Hop influences which differentiate his sound from the rest.

Barney Spigel

hagop — Wed, 21 May 2008 15:33:22 +0000

Barney Spigel – aka Spigelsound / Dubwise / Dr. Spigelfunk – has been producing music and DJing for over ten years. Barney got interested in the concept of music production after first hearing The Prodigy’s The Experience LP and a compilation called 100% Drum & Bass at the age of 13. He started putting ideas together using a cheap Roland GM sound module with Cubase on his PC. He later progressed onto the Macintosh platform using Logic, a hardware sampler and a rack of outboard gear and began compose breakbeat driven music influenced by the likes of The Prodigy, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Roni Size, Goldie and Massive Attack.

At his home studio, Barney has written and produced many tracks in a variety of different styles – including progressive and dubwise drum’n'bass, neo-soul, alternative hip-hop, future funk, dub and film soundtracks – some of which have been licensed for use in a range of TV programmes and one in particular was signed to drum’n'bass legend Marcus Intalex’s Soul:R label, arguably the best in the liquid d’n'b scene. This track – Smash VIP by Amaning & Dubwise – has been played out in clubs all over the planet by some of the world’s top DJs and also featured in the highly acclaimed FabricLive mix CD series on issue 35.

Barney is always working on new material, so expect to see more of his tracks released in the not too distant future. As well as being a music producer, Barney DJs in bars and clubs across London; he runs his own weekly session in Camden called Stir It Up! showcasing new and unsigned talent; he works as a sound & light technician at Soho Theatre and also works in post-production, editing and authoring DVDs.

Martello Rotativo

hagop — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:58:31 +0000

Martello is a 26 year old Estonian writer and music producer with 8 years experience. He is an electrical engineer by trade, music producing and music itself is his hobby and love.

He began by messing with tracker type programs like ModPlug tracker and similar. 2 years ago he discovered sequencer type programs and currently uses Cubase 4. His music is 100 % software and samples. He loves playing with soft-synths’ different features and feels like crazy scientist in another era!

He sums up his style with 3 simple words – electronic dance music. He most loves deep house, dubstep, old school jungle and also modern dance/club music sounds. All these styles influence his music. When he was 6 years old he found his father’s old broken tape-recorder, got it fixed, and found some old tapes by Whitney Houston. This was Martello gone – the music captured him.

Martello says signing with Mai Plues is his first official milestone. His music has also been broadcast several times on Estonian radio station Radio 2.

He DJs as Aaron Audio on the east London gig circuit, mixing live with electro, cheese and dubstep – always accessible but still dirty. He has also clocked more than 50 live gigs as one half of multi-tempo dance outfit Honey Weasel, jamming and mixing live with two laptops, an arsenal of samples and a hoard of mad costumes. The pair, more live performers than studio recorders, have also DJed on the British festival circuit, including Glade festival, the Antic Banquet, and this summer hosted the main stage at the Secret Garden Party.

He is also co-producer of the “A.Theory” ambient music project with Alex Preager, crafting a diverse scope of progressive acoustic electronica .

Whether DJing, producing, or creating original tunes, he works with a broad sound pallet drawn from a lifetime of production experience. Over two decades he has developed a unique personal relationship with production processes and production spaces.

“My dad left me alone in the studio when I was four and I managed to ruin all the drum machine programming they had done that day,” he says. “I was always around recording studios, after school and on family holidays, so it didn’t seem like anything special. But then when I was older I realsied the potential of the equipment and studio’s which was unlimted , .”

Disco Rockers

hagop — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:53:26 +0000

Norway/London based Discorockers are a modern three piece that fuses electro, dub, dance and punk rock in an innovative and incredibly exciting way.

Since playing Glastonbury festival 2004 it’s been a rollercoaster ride where they have rocked the London club, gig and party circuit for the past year and have headlined Cargo twice.The band members each bring with them their own unique talents from different musical backgrounds:

Viktoria Winge’s inspiring vocal performance is both angelic and at the same time edgy, and she has often been referred to as ‘a blonde björk’. A true bombshell indeed, she is from a famous Theatrical family and has studied at the Khio Kunsthøgskolen theatre school in Oslo. Victoria is one of those one in a million performers you just can’t look away from! (Hence her many international modeling assignments)

The bands Producer, Anton Jawdokimov, on keyboard and beat mixing duties, uses the latest gadgets and gizmos to get his sound and gets his musical background and experience from the UK rave scene, having worked with the likes of Ninjatune and The Future Sound of London to name a few.

These ingredients create a magic and thrilling combination of sounds and visual energy that has to be seen and enjoyed.
