“Trecerea spre setul lui Bogdan se face unduitor de parfumat, surprinzător, agale, neaşteptat de în urcare. Bogdan își exersează cel mai bun set.ro din 2010 şi îl expune în cel mai viu mod cu putinţă. Tot timpul câte 3 piese zvârcolindu-se hipnotic, two tracks vs. loop, forever 3 deckuri on, melanjuri bombastice cu viori Arvo Pärt pe beat electro drogat, Boys Noize – “Yeah”, nu disco, Ellen Allien & Apparat – “Jet”, house clasic, curcubeu, din om neom până la Mândru Soare şi-napoi. “Ruşinos că încă cu Macul după el!”, îmi şoptește sceptic cineva în ureche. Io cred că e mega preocupat acolo already, prietene. Las-o mai moale cu remarci din porumb. Şi-n plus, nu sunt ochelaristul studios atent la cât de roz-bombon sau mov deschis erau clapele pe care apăsa. Ia-ţi cu susan dacă nu-ţi place!… Prefer senzaţiile, legăturile făcute cu graţie, coerenţa care face să-ţi ţâşnească bucuria din pustiu înapoi în inimă precum sângele din venă în eprubetă. Printr-o singură înţepătură exactă în ringul de dans. Arta îmbinării, nu mijloacele.” (via)

Whiteroly mix for FGM

Whiteroly: Mixul meu este un showcase al soundurilor, in principal techno, pe care le mixez zilele astea. E mixat live, de pe cdj-uri, platane si un mixer, deci este cat mai aproape de the real thing din club

Interviu: Ion / Clontz

macheta Local in Tataia #2

Initiativa admirabila a blogului Boing Bum-Chak de a alege ce a mai ramas dupa scandalul nascut de EP-ul lui Ion (Schutzhaft) si a incerca sa defineasca mai bine pozitiile si problemele intr-un interviu cu cei doi poli: Ion Dumitrescu si Montgomery Clunk (clontz). Pentru cei ce nu stiu povestea, blogul face si o foarte buna introducere si punere in context. Textul si interviul complet mai jos.

“Fie ca esti constient sau nu arta are si o dimensiune politica, scapa si în afara intentiei pur estetice. E important ce putem articula in afara descrierilor stilistice, in afara de “suna bine” si de aproape religiosul “eu asa simt”. Ce genereaza muzica ta ca discurs contemporan?” Ion Dumitrescu

“Mi se pare cam dificil sa transmiti un mesaj critic la adresa ordinii sociale folosind oscilatoare. […] Sunt impotriva explicatiilor necerute de ascultator. Este clar ca sunt adeptul subiectivismului in ceea ce priveste muzica…nu mi se pare ca muzica vine ca un flacon de ampicilina…cu instructiuni de ascultare.” Montgomery Clunk

Face-Off Montgomery Clunk / Ion Dumitrescu. Un epilog la episodul Schutzhaft EP.

Mike Simonetti And Johnny Jewel – Albuterol

Perseo / oct 2010 / try / buy

Mike Simonetti And Johnny Jewel – Disconet Dilemma

“There’s a nice little story behind this CD: In December 2007, We threw a huge gala on a cold & rainy Friday night in Portland with Chromatics & Glass Candy. Mike came out to spin the party…the after party…and the party after the after party… We spent the next three days recovering, working on a mix, & trying to find a place for Mike to lay his weary head. The damp & grey climate is great if you’re writing Wipers lyrics…but if you left your prescription asthma medicine (Albuterol) in Jersey, you’re pretty much screwed. Day 1 : Mike stays with Me at chez Ruth / Daphne & Ruby (the sister cats) fur all over the apartment causes Mike’s asthma to flair up even worse. Day 2 : We decided to relocate Monsiuer Simonetti to Ida’s Candy Castle / Marlon’s (the stray cat) tiger stripes almost close Mike’s eyes forever. Day 3 : Adam & Natty offer him a warm bed…but Pimp C’s (the cat freed from a shelter on the same day the UGK poet was released from prison) dander just about closes Mike’s windpipe. Then it occurs to us…there’s no cats at the studio, so we spend two days & nights listening to crates of killer cuts from Mike’s library in New Jersey. Starting with around 80 songs and slowly narrowing it down to 10 traxxx that really complimented each other. Step 1: Burn all the records to disc through analog preamps … Step 2 : Edit the traxxx live using 3 cdjs. Step 3: Take the best edits andblend them all together in one long take live to tape. No computers were harmed on the set of this recording.
At Italians Do It Better, we love our computers… But for a mix this dirty, with almost all live drummers, it just felt better doing it by hand. The end result runs the gamut of rock, disco, proto house, boogie, swedish glam, bizarre italo, soul, & some odd things in between. Not to mention the entire mix is slightly pitched down. Most likely due to exhaustion & Mike’s almost comatose state. It just sounded heavier this way.
The weekend came & went, & it was time for Mike to fly home… On our way to the airport, Ida chased a Fed Ex truck down Hawthorne. Just in time for the flight, the Albuterol finally came. Mike took it & all was well. There was so much confusion that weekend, I forgot to label the tape. It got lost in the shuffle. Tours came & went. New records were being made, & we forgot about it. Five months later Mike found a rough mix of it on his ipod & ripped a really lo fi version for the blog. The mix exploded (20,000 downloads & counting), but no one could guess the full tracklist. A couple of months ago we started Perseo & around that time I found the original mix in Portland. Here it is …the way it was meant to be heard. Fully remastered back through tubes.”
