RadarLive 2007

RadarLive 2007'nin rüya gibi "line-up"ı en sonunda dün MTV'de açıklandı. Canlı performansını yıllardır görmek istediğim Marilyn Manson'ın "Headliner" olduğu festival'in sanatçı listesinde sadece Booka Shade, CSS, SCSI 9 ve Juliette&The Licks'i görmek bile bir kaç dakika boyunca sevinç çığlıkları atmama neden oldu :)

30 Haziran - 2 Temmuz tarihleri arasında İstanbul solar Beach'te gerçekleşecek olan festival bence, daha önce 50 Cents gibi isimleri Headliner diye yutturmaya çalışan organizasyonlarla kıyaslandığında Dinamo 103.8'in organizasyonu olan RadarLive , (Bence) şimdiye kadarki en iyi line-up'la dinleyici karşısına çıkan, gerçek bir festival olacak gibi görünüyor.

Geçen sene boyunca Gazoz69'da defalarca bahsedilen electro guruları Booka Shade, Brezilya'dan Myspace.com'la dünyaya açılan ve dünya çapında hayranlar kazanıp 2 senedir o festival senin bu festival benim dolaşan, Rock, Funk ve Electronica'yı harmanlayan CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy), hakkında artık birşey yazmaya gerek olmayan SCSI 9, Geçen kış istanbul'daki performasıyla insanları tek kelimeyle çıldırtan Juliette Lewis liderliğindeki Juliette&The Licks ve tabi ki esas oğlan, headliner Marilyn Manson, 30 Haziran - 2 Temmuz arasında Solar Beach'te olmayı zorunlu kılan nedenlerden sadece birkaçı..

Gerekli tüm detaylar şu anda yenilenmekte olan RadarLive sitesinde; RadarLive 2007

Şu ana kadar açıklanan sanatçıların tam listesi ise şöyle:

Marilyn Manson, James, The Rapture, Duman, Juliette and The Licks, Cocorosie, Beirut, Nouvelle Vague, CSS, Peter Bjorn and John, The Rakes, The Horrors, Plan B, Jamie Lidell, Piano Magic, Booka Shade, Easy Star All Stars ,Ellen Allien & Apparat, Babazula, Replikas, Fuat, Rashit, Gevende, Osunlade Yoruba Soul Orchestra, Norman Jay, Joan As Police Woman, Radioslave, SCSI 9, Sakin, neon, fungu, supercharger, tatufly, popcorn, selin damar, grangulez, tnk, clique.

Trevor Loveys

Trevor Loveys & Rose & Belsey - The Source

Trevor started recording in the early 1990's after being inspired listening to producers such as Ron Trent, Abacus, Blaze and Masters At Work. He taught himself keyboards and drum programming after buying a synth and Akai sampler and after spending a year developing his sound and production skills he released his first single, 'Soul Motive' on Nuphonic Recordings. This release caught the attention of producers and music press alike, gaining respect from Deep Dish, Kevin Mckay and Everything But The Girl's Ben Watt.

House Of 909 is the production outfit Trevor is best known for and it was on this label that he released all his early productions such as ‘Deep Inside/Voices From Beyond,’ ‘Future Soul Orchestra/Up and Above’ and In To Deep. Trevor's music caught the attention of Richard Breeden the man behind the legendary Tribal label and now Pagan UK and It was this label that gave Trevor the chance to record his first album 'The Children We Were'. It was this album that put House Of 909 on the deep house map attaining album of the Month in Muzik and DJ not to mention features in NME, Music Week and iD.

In 1998 after having some personal and creative differences with his partner Nigel Casey, Trevor decided to go solo and started producing for his friend Omid 16B's label Alola. It was then that he started to collaborate with his bass playing friend Chris Pedley to create the album 'Era' which crossed the boundaries from deep house and electro to broken beat and downtempo. ‘Era' was album of the month in Ministry Magazine.

In 2002 Trevor signed to Freerange and has since released singles ‘Elevate Your Mind’ , ‘Feel the Horns’ , Lotta Livin’ and the acclaimed ‘The Bounce’ as well his debut album for Freerange entitled ‘Intstella’ in Summer 2004.

Aside from his solo project he teamed up with West London’s Solid Groove to form Switch. Their debut release ‘Get Your Dub On’ on Freerange was one of those rare records that twelve months after release was still being played nationwide. A combination of fucked up beats, funk from the drawer and some twisted%

Booka Shade

Booka Shade - s.t.a.r.r.z.
(Please respect all artists and buy music!)

The studio partnership of producers, remixers and live act Booka Shade aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier has come a very long way since its incarnation in the early 90s. Back then, Arno and Walter were a synth pop act signed to a major label. They released two albums and did a number of tours, but at the same time they were being seduced by the emerging trance and techno sounds they heard in Frankfurt clubs like The Omen.

Subsequently, Arno and Walter changed their focus to club projects and released trance records on R&S, Tommy Boy and Sven Vath’s Harthouse imprint. However, it was on Dutch label that Booka Shade scored their biggest releases with the progressive ´Kind of good´ and ´Silk´.

By the end of the 90s, Booka Shade had tired of the trance-techno scene and again needed a new direction to focus on. At this stage, they decided to found their own label. By chance, they met with Thomas Koch, aka DJ T, one of Germany’s most experienced DJs. Arno and Walter’s old friends Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung, aka M.A.N.D.Y., whom they knew from the 90s in Frankfurt’s club scene, completed the new partnership.

By 2002, the Get Physical label was launched, with Booka Shade responsible for all of the productions and remixes by M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Sunsetpeople and Chelonis R. Jones. In just a few years, the label won supporters from a wide spectrum of DJs because its releases covered a broad brush stroke of electronic styles, including trance, electro and techno, within its club-friendly grooves.

In 2004, with Get Physical established as one of Europe’s most respected new electronic music labels, Booka Shade decided to step from the shadows and pursue their own solo career again.

Get Physical was home to Booka Shade’s widely acclaimed and admired 2005 debut album ‘Memento’, which saw Walter and Arno use the experience that they had gained working in the pop and trance spheres during the 90s to stunning effect. Slivers of pop melody and shiny trance euphoria are underpinned with twitchy, stripped bare beats. The end result was an ultra-modern, occasionally menacing and evocative but always rewarding work.

The label was also the outlet for their huge 2005 club hit, ‘Mandarine Girl’ and ‘Body Language’ - both firm favourites in their live show - with the latter track, a collaboration with M.A.N.D.Y, winning the DJ award ‘Ibiza Track of the Season 2005’ and gaining support from big league DJs as well as underground house and techno names.

"YOU"
So we can dance this groove...

Now can we dance
This evening
Tonight might be our only chance
Oh know I’ve seen you here before
You seem to have a taste for more

Don’t you know my my love won’t hurt you
But it will leave you satisfied

So come on baby and get on over
And let us never stop tonight

So come on baby and get on over
So we can dance this groove x8

Baby you and I are just so perfect
Perfect way to spend the night
There’s no time for playing no games now
Cuz I got love that you musn’t fight so...

So come on baby and get on over
So we can dance this groove x8

Joi Cardwell

Well, I just have to share this one with you. This one has been rotating in my ipod over and over for weeks. Although Joi Cardwell is a respected vocalist in several genres I just adore her Deep House masterpiece "What it feels like", specially the part she says "...to be free" just before the minimal breakdown. Ahh it's so good that it gives me goosebumps of excitement.

Claude VonStroke

Claude Vonstroke - Who's Afraid Of Detroit

Claude Vonstroke - The Whistler

Claude VonStroke - VonStroke Club Promo Mix/July 2006
(Click on the link above in order to stream the Dj set or use "save links as" or "save target as" for downloading in mp3 format. Please respect all artist and buy music to support them.)

Claude Vonstroke and his releases (from his own label Dirty Bird) were the best things happened to House scene in 2006. Not just because Richie Hawtin declared his magnificent track "Who's Afraid Of Detroit" as "The best track of 2006" nor it has been played by almost every genre of dance music dj across the board. It was his year because he brought something totally different with his almost unique musical style which is called as Tech-Funk by some while I'd rather call it as the brilliant mixture of House, Techno and Electro.

”I would like to come over…what are you having for dinner?” asks the creepy character in Claude VonStroke's international hit, “Deep Throat.” After selling through 7 pressings and topping the charts in Germany , Belgium and Italy ; “Deep Throat” quickly put VonStroke on the map as an up and coming force. The success of the single garnered a music video by Anthony Earnest Garth, whose past directorial credits include videos for super-groups like the White Stripes, Eminem, and Slum Village . (The “Deep Throat” video will be released as a bonus feature on Claude's new dirtybird artist album coming out this May, 2006.) Following the success of “Deep Throat,” Claude VonStroke upped the ante even further with a full length album called "Beware of the Bird."

Claude VonStroke is better known to locals, as Barclay Crenshaw, the owner of San Francisco 's hottest new avant-house label, dirtybird. The dirtybird label consists of Crenshaw (VonStroke,) fellow producer Justin Martin, and a wide assortment of top remixers from around the globe such as John Tejada, Sammy D, Jesse Rose, and Frankie.

"In 2005, dirtybird released a series of daring and creative singles that were played by everyone from Ritchie Hawtin to Damian Lazarus and received top marks from all the DJ magazines."

The idea for dirtybird began in 2003 when Barclay was producing an intense 5 hour DVD about electronic music called, “Intellect.” San Francisco newcomer, Justin Martin was hired by Crenshaw to help make house music for the DVD. Barclay quickly recognized Justin's talent and took on a role as his manager, negotiating his first deals with Buzzin'fly, Classic, and Utensil Recordings. The “Intellect” project was a labor of love for Crenshaw, taking almost 2 years to make and starring over 35 top producers and legendary DJs such as Derrick May, Swayzak, Derrick Carter, Deep Dish, Paul Van Dyk, Theo Parish, and many more. The main goal of the “Intellect” project was to make an informative dvd that could help DJs advance their careers in electronic music. The result was Crenshaw himself starting dirtybird records with Justin and a production career under the quirky alias, Claude VonStroke.

In addition to production and label management, Claude VonStroke has an intense regimen for preparation and a great ear for song selection. His DJ sets are always inspiring and surprising. You will never hear a boring bunch of monotonous tracks because just like A&R at dirtybird, Claude always takes time to find the tracks that mean something. Tricky sound effects, nasty bass, inspiring melodies, and up front originals make for a completely original experience that is not to be missed.

Fuckpony

Fuckpony's debut album Children of Love is one of the best house albums came out lately and their release note tells everything about it pretty well;

Fuckpony is the latest project by US producer in Berlin Jay Haze and Samim, his Swiss collaborator and it's going to you on a ride through the roots of dance music, so hold on tight! Haze and Samim are best known for their stripped back, quirky techno on Haze's Contexterrior and Tuning Spork labels, but for Fuckpony, they wanted to try something different.

The fruits of this project is 'Children Of Love', an album inspired by dance music's evocative, emotional past. Detroit techno snuggles up to deep house textures, Chicago claps and drums get cosy with raw acid lines, mournful synths accompany soulful, tripped out vocals."We're in an era of robots and machines, so we're trying to step back in time and go back to dance music's roots," Jay explains. "There is a whole new generation out there who have no idea about old school techno and house, and we want them to discover where electronic music came from," Samim agrees.

The album is richly musical, strangely familiar and undoubtedly infectious - it's impossible to dislodge the hooks from recent single 'Ride The Pony' or 'Cellphone Hit' from that part of your brain that keeps flashing 'tune' – but it also boasts the futuristic techno brush strokes that we've come to expect from Haze and Samim. "We have our ears on the future, but the real inspiration is old house music," Jay says, while Samim sees the release as a break from the norm. "It's like a retreat, a holiday from making minimal music. Parts of it are minimal, but Fuckpony allows us to show something different of ourselves."

'Children Of Love' isn't solely about house music: listen to the nagging bass on the deep fried acid of 'Freaky Story Of Earth' and it's clear that Funkedelic's psychedelic groove left a big impression on the pair. "You could play this music to fucked up people at an after party or you could listen to it at home." Jay says. "We'd love to perform it live at Body & Soul in New York. It may sound superficial, but we believe in the power of love and its power to bring people together." Fuckpony's need to reach out could be due to Jay and Samim's troubled pasts. Samim, of Iranian descent, was a dotcom entrepreneur who lost a lot of money when the bubble burst and more recently, he overcame cancer.

Jay, meanwhile, comes from a poor part of Pennsylvania, 'where no one escaped from'. On his journey to Berlin, he sold LSD while touring with The Grateful Dead, became a respected glass blower and sculptor and even ended up living homeless on the streets of San Francisco for a few months before he ran into Samim as he backpacked across Europe. "I was walking around Zurich looking to buy some weed and by chance I asked Samim and his friends. Next thing I know, we're off having a beer together and I end up staying there for three months," Jay recalls.

Featuring vocals from Big Bully, Shaniqua and Lil Dirrty Ghetto Bastard, Jay and Samim believe that they have crated something that is not just 'tracky and for the dance floor', but a lasting body of work that their friends and family can appreciate. "We just hope that people feel it's great music. One of the biggest mistakes that people make about me is that I'm serious, but nothing could be further from the truth. All my music is done with a smile because that's how I interact with people and build relationships," Jay explains.

Where Were We?

Because of my heavy work schedule I quit posting somewhere in september but now I'm back for good! Since lots of new sounds and artists have been pouring in last few weeks I feel like I'm back right on time. Here is the final result of the project prevented me to post in last 5 months. I really liked the output and although it's just online for 2 months, it's already awarded *big grin*
