Joakim And The Disco

Joakim And The Disco live @ Chestionabil Joint 6, 12 Februarie 2010, The Ark

Mai stiti cand trebuia sa vina Joakim la Sarbatoarea Muzicii (organizata de Institutul Francez in 2006) si din cauza conceptului cu multe locatii prin tara era cat pe ce sa puna la Buzau? Cum ar fi fost asta?. Noroc ca a trebuit sa mai asteptam 3 ani ca sa o facem ca lumea. Seria Chestionabil Joint este cel mai bun lucru care s-a intamplat scenei muzicale de la noi in ultimul an. Din pacate si singurul.

Joakim Bouaziz este un francez de origine marocana cu o agenda destul de incarcata. Cand nu trece prin filtrul personal de remix numele hot ale electro-ului momentului (Cut Copy, Metronomy, Late Of The Pier, Simian Disco Mobile, Annie), Joakim e sef suprem si administrator al unuia din cele mai importante label-uri ale undergroundului parizian (deliciosul Tigersushi), produce subsecvent trupe din propria ograda (Poni Hoax, Panico) si, da, deloc pe ultimul loc, scoate albume sub numele sau. Daca ai intreba un critic ce anume canta Joakim, sigur ar scapa din vedere ceva pentru ca asemanarea cu un Beck mai weirdo e destul de corecta: numai pe ultimul album “Milky Ways” creat impreuna cu trupa sa live The Disco se remarca post-rock, italo-disco, rock psihedelic si electro-funk; eticheta de eclectic se completeaza cu albumele anterioare in care Joakim a jonglat cu art-pop-ul, ambientul si electro-ul. Probabil de vina e si formatia sa de compozitor cu Conservator la baza, dar cert e ca un show cu el si The Disco plus un DJ Set va va crea impresia ca ati vazut un adevarat festival de trupe in aceeasi seara. Pe 12 februarie, la FRONT/The Ark, noul event Chestionabil Joint e mandru sa va demonstreze live acest lucru.

Juju & Jordash

jj

Live @ Rokolectiv, 23 aprilie 2010

Juju & Jordash sunt doi evrei fugiti din Israel la Amsterdam si de curand adoptati spiritual de Detroit unde muzica lor a lovit foarte puternic. Amandoi vin din zona jazz (au avut o trupa de hard-bop si free jazz) si aduc o multitudine de elemente si abordari de acolo in muzica electronica, rezultatul fiind un techno ce eludeaza formula, imprevizibil, aproape improvizat. “jazz is the teacher”.

on israeli politics: “My feelings are too overwhelming to describe in polite written words… They are best expressed by yelling obscenities in Hebrew followed by swallowing a Xanax or two…” MLAT interview

Juju & Jordash – Juju & Jordash LP [Dekmantel] / 2009

Sampling from live radio. Avoiding FM frequencies.

Ce poti sa faci cu un radio (Producator: URSS / Model: VEF 206/ Tuburi: tranzistoare/ An fabricatie: 1970) si un Sampler and Filter (Producator: Japonia / Model: KAOS PAD 3/ Tuburi: emulatii digitale/ An fabricatie: 2006) ?

Ion Dumitrescu propune o investigare afectiva a celui mai important mijloc de comunicare in Romania inainte de ’89: radioul. O sesiune de live radio sampling, bineinteles cu evitarea FM-ului. Preocuparile lui Ion Dumitrescu legate de manipularea radioului live au inceput o data cu workhopul organizat anul trecut la Rucar de Rokolectiv (Rokolectiv Sound Camp, iulie 2009, Rucar). Mai jos un track, trackul inregistrat in tabara, « live radio manipulation »
