Forward Management Launches New Website, Replaces Current Blog

2010-08-13T08:28:00.000-07:00

This week, Forward Management launched its new website, which celebrates the growth of the New York-based company since its inception in 2008. Founders François K and Aurelie Brambilla began with several artists that represented the sort of hard work and passionate sincerity that Wave Music has brought to the table in the last 15 years.

So if you have these blogspot pages bookmarked, please clean 'em out and head on over to the new http://www.forwardmgmt.net - our layout is cleaner and we can do so much more at our new home.

Our commitment to generating interest in our artists with care and conscience is what sets the agency apart from others, and we look forward to working with you. We hope you enjoy our new Internet headquarters, and thank you for being a part of our success.

Tony Lionni : Available for August 2010, North America

2010-05-25T12:46:00.000-07:00

Tony Lionni
producer/DJ
Then: Manchester, UK
Now: Berlin, Germany

Early days: started with music at a young age, went mostly to underground Mancurian clubs that played black music way before its soul hit the Haçienda. Noted in a recent interview that when he produces house music he approaches it from a hip-hop perspective.

RIYL: Ron Trent, Kerri Chandler and Theo Parrish. Often compared to Larry Heard and considered on level with Radio Slave (released a 12” with him on Ostgut Ton last fall and were noted as “two of the most prolific producers” by Resident Advisor)

Labels: Wave Music, Ostgut Ton, Mule, Versatile, Figure, Polymorph, Resident Advisor (podcast #157)

Most recent release: ‘Timeless’ EP (Apr26, Wave Music) http://www.wavemusic.com/wave-release/254

Recently played with: Sandwell District, Par Grindvik, Zander VT, Commix

Forward to Book Tony Lionni's First N. American Tour // New 'Timeless' Wave Music EP

2010-04-29T11:41:00.000-07:00

Chicago and Detroit have been mentioned repeatedly when describing Tony Lionni's original productions, but the Berlin resident has yet to play in America. Growing up in Manchester with a father who was also a DJ, Lionni was also exposed to good music at an early age. He also had the advantage of being exposed to black music in Mancurian clubs before it even reached the Haçienda. "For me, when I write house music," Lionni said in a Resident Advisor feature about his success, "I think of it from a hip-hop perspective." Now in 2010, Lionni offers the 'Timeless' EP - his fourth contribution to the Wave catalogue in the last two years. Since the 'Deep Joy' EP in 2008, Lionni has gone on to release on a variety of reputable labels in such a short time, including Ostgut Ton, Freerange Records and Mulemusiq.

Larry Heard is a name that has been drawn for comparison, but Lionni also cites Ron Trent, Theo Parrish and Kerri Chandler as of some of his greatest influences. Reviews of his work commonly note that while his style draws heavily from classic Chicago house and Detroit techno, his take on the resulting hybrid is undeniably fresh and all his own. While "The Anger" is the lead track, label boss François K specifically wanted to use the title of the track "Timeless" to name the EP, since he feels it best represents the vibe of the record.

It's surprising to think that Tony Lionni has never played in America before, but Wave and Forward Management intend to remedy this with a tour in the early autumn. After he plays a handful of impressive European dates over the summer - including Berlin's Arena Club with Sandwell District and a hometown live set at Space in Manchester - Lionni will head stateside to conquer major markets in America as well as Canada and Mexico.

Selected Feedback for the 'Timeless' EP

"I always have a soft spot in my heart for dreamy, spacey techno like this." -Philip Sherburne

"Fantastic. Love all tracks. Going to play 'The Prophet' tonight in LA" - Darren Emerson

"Invoking the ghosts of bygone Metroplex and Planet E cuts, 'Anger' is bathed in celestial electroid chords, thunking kick drums and bubbling, analogue bubblebath FX, while the title cut is a multi-layered, parallax scrolling feast of ocean atmosphere and acid dapples. Fresh all around." - DJ Mag, April 2010

Chris Leibing Plays Roberto Bosco @ Time Warp + New Mix Festival

2010-04-22T06:29:00.000-07:00

There's no doubt that Chris Liebing is a true professional, and this year he's celebrating the 10th anniversary of CLR. One of the best podcasts out there, it's also his label and general branding tool. You can read more about that here, but in the meantime, check out the clip below where he played Roberto Bosco's "Circle Dub (Dub Tool)" (from Len Faki's Figure series) at Germany's Time Warp festival in late March.

Roberto's productions - which have been released on a handful of reputable labels that include Night Vision, Be As One, Figure and Wave Music...to name a few - have been making their way onto a large variety of DJ mixes and recorded sets this year, and his own style as a DJ has been growing at an alarmingly passionate rate.

His most recent mix is a fierce blend of deep, soulful techno and throbbing, industrial influence. It's also a great mash-up of his talent as the creator and the mixer.

For fans of Donato Dozzy, Traversable Wormhole/Adam X and anything from Sandwell District.

GIG + MIX :: ROB RIVES Plays the Biatch Corp Loft, Releases a New Track & Offers Up a Mix

2010-04-14T10:15:00.000-07:00

Though it's only April, 2010 is already shaping up to be a great year for music. House, techno, dubstep and many smaller genres are all cross-pollinating to bring forth new sounds and fresh talent. Even while we're bringing additional artists to our booking roster, the producers that have been making music for decades are still hotly active, and Rob Rives is no exception. He is one of New York’s premiere architects of dark and penetrating electro-fueled tech-house, and takes a DJ mix to a new level by integrating songs and weaving concepts and beats together in ways that consistently surprise; to say that he is simply marrying a wide variety of genres and ideas is a sore understatement.

Having produced under the alias Floppy Sounds since the late 90s, Rob has also released under Phantom Power over the last ten years. Wave Music has been a platform for him to explore the soundscapes of dark techno and soulful house music as they've morphed throughout the years, and living in New York has given him access to work with François K and Danny Tenaglia, as well as co-produce remixes for the likes of Kraftwerk, Can and Underworld. He's also had his own remixes for X-Press2, Green Velvet and Luke Slater, to name a few, released on a variety of labels. For some time, he's been the master engineer for Wave Music's releases, and has split his time in the studio with developing a DJ style that incorporates his near-twenty years of passion, production and playing out.

Rob Rives - April 2010 Mix by ForwardManagement

Rives has also mastered a few releases for Biatch Corp, a New York-based, community-driven collective that has become a successful label and promotional force in the last three years. Celebrating its anniversary this weekend, Rob will be playing the massive loft party along with Spain's Henry Saiz (Renaissance) and others from the label. In hand with the party is the release of 'Auditoria,' a 12-track compilation that includes the unreleased "In-D" by Rob Rives, which you can hear on our Soundcloud page.

With taste that has been fine-tuned over the course of at least two decades, Rob Rives is now available for bookings on a global scale. His latest mix says it all. As a producer, DJ, master engineer and long-time member of the Wave Music family, his personality and history are rich with empathy towards what moves a dancefloor. For all inquiries, please contact vicki@forwardmgmt.net

Forward Welcomes Axel Bartsch (Berlin)

2010-03-30T12:49:00.000-07:00

Axel Bartsch has come a long, long way since spinning funk and dance classics at house parties in the 80s. Since the 90s, he's been an important part of the music scene in Berlin, and has grown from a collaboration with his partner-in-crime, Asem Shama and their Vanguard project to build a solo reputation that stands out in the fore of techno. In the earlier part of last decade, Axel had several releases with Kompakt, which includes tracks its main imprint ('Light In the Dark,' 2006) as well as K2/Extra's revered "Speicher" series.

In 2005, Axel founded his own label, Sportclub Music, with Franco Zeiger and has used it as a platform from which to release his own heady brand of modernist techno. He's taken the time over the years to re-collaborate with old colleagues on other labels. Thomas Schumacher's Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten released 'Radio Controlled' in 2007 and Karmarouge, a Cologne-based label that has done a lot with Gabriel Ananda, put out the 'Kiss' LP in 2008. That same year, Axel and renowned producer Sian both contributed remixes for Gui Boratto's "Tales From the Lab" on Defrag Sound Processing (Italy).

Axel Bartsch // Live @ Watergate, March 2010 by ForwardManagement

Turning in to 2010, Axel's "Bam and Flow" - which featured three versions from the man himself and a remix from Thomas Schumacher - garnered praise from Resident Advisor and Ibiza Voice as well as other magazines around the globe. During his last tour of the states, he rocked Brooklyn at a ReSolute party and at Make It New - Boston's premier techno party. This year, he will be returning in the late summer to North America, where he will be returning to and debuting at a large number of cities across America, Canada and Mexico.

Currently residing in Berlin, Germany, Axel Bartsch is available for N. American territory via Forward Management. We anticipate a tour around August/September of 2010. Please send any inquiries to vicki@forwardmgmt.net

GIGS :: John Daly Debuts In Singapore & Australia

2010-03-12T11:24:00.000-08:00

John Daly will debut in Australia this weekend with a string of dates in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Before playing down under, he will also at Night & Day in Singapore (debut) on Friday, March 12th. Resident Advisor recently ran a news piece on John's Aussie tour, in which it wrote: "Daly, based in Galway on Ireland's west coast, has been putting out his own blend of disco-flavored house since 2006, knocking up releases on Mule Musiq, François K's Wave Music, and Drumpoet Community. Additionally, the set-up of Daly's own Feel Music imprint has turned heads, hosting several of the Irish-born producer's early singles. Musically, it is not only in the house realm that Daly's releases and DJ sets lie, with divergences to techno and future jazz featuring just as prominently as his concentration on Balearic and disco."

The promoters over at Co-Op in Sydney, who will have John play a 4-hour set on Saturday, March 20th, also wrote up the following: "John has been DJing and playing live music for 13 years all over Europe and beyond, and he is signed not only to François K’s Wave Music label, but also his management company, Forward – a incredible endorsement for any DJ and artist. He has been compared in the press to luminaries such as Moodymann and Lindstrom, and his tracks have appeared on mixes from imprints such as Mobilee and Ostgut Ton."

John Daly's dates in the far east and South Pacific include:
Mar 12 . Night & Day . Singapore

Mar 13 . Miss Libertine . Melbourne
Mar 17 . Academy Bar . Canbarra
Mar 20 . Civic Underground . Sydney

NEW RELEASE :: Adultnapper's 'Monitor' with a rework by MKL is out now on vinyl & digital formats

2010-03-12T06:34:00.000-08:00

Adultnapper's original mix of "Monitor" is a minimalist, atmospheric house outing with warm, evocative piano chords. Percussive and synth soundscapes wash over the groove adding a stylish, textured dynamic. Conversely, MKL Vs BGSS (members of the group Brazilian Girls) step onto the scene with a live, organic funkafied jam that steps skillfully through afrobeat and retro disco/funk territory without missing a beat. Available on Beatport since the beginning of March, this weekend marks the physical release of this gorgeous record.

Halcyon recently featured MKL's version of "Monitor," saying: "Despite being a fixture behind the decks at downtown hotspots from Nublu to Cielo, it’s behind the boards where MKL’s unique talent shines brightest. In the studio, MKL is a master of reworks – not remixes – reworks. Remixes can be little more than a snippet of a track laid over a different beat. MKL’s reworks take various forms, but suffice to say, you can put any track in his hands – Femi Kuti, John Legend, anyone – and he will fuse it’s musical DNA with his own sophisticated worldly rhythms and signature afro-inflected groove."

Monitor is available on 12" vinyl at the following locations:

MKL is currently available for bookings, and is based out of New York. For inquiries, please get in touch with vicki@forwardmgmt.net

Roberto Bosco In the New 'Graphite North' Mix Series

2010-03-02T10:46:00.000-08:00

Two of Roberto Bosco's tracks from his Mowar release, which features a remix by Matt O'Brien (Rekids), are included in an exciting new mix series. The first installment also includes tracks by EQD (Shed), Function, Andy Stott, Nine Inch Nails, Cio D'or, Burial and Mount Kimbie.

The popular blog mnml ssgs says that "one trend in 2009 [it] had a big problem with was the flood of podcasts. It seemed like every week a new podcast was appearing. Of course, some have been good and have contributed to some great mixes appearing, but the majority of these new 'casts just seemed to lack much purpose beyond either basic promotion or a feeling that an artist/label/blogger etc. should have a podcast series."

Amen! Two new mix series are mentioned, "both which have really well-defined and worthwhile concepts," mnml added. "Thought has gone into these, and I have the hope/feeling they could be very worthwhile."

The Graphite North series promotes anonymity in its series, and allows the selected music to sit at the forefront. "Each volume will be mixed by someone you might recognize, but rather than reveal who, we're sticking to revealing only the names of the tracks and artists on the mix, as such, all of the DJs making these mixes will be our unseen selectors, taking you on a journey through some of the most sought after techno in the world right now."

NEW RELEASE :: ROBERTO BOSCO 'My Universe' is out now on vinyl & digital formats

2010-02-24T17:30:00.000-08:00

Wave Music returns to the fore with a new EP from rising star Roberto Bosco, who takes a step further into the world of deep, dubby and sonically spacious techno. Heavily influenced by 90s German and Dutch electronic music, Bosco filters his take on techno and puts it through a very personal process. His records are made for dark spaces and rumbling sound systems of contemporary nightlife and draw you in to his aural world with equal parts force and sonic seduction.

Still in his early 20s, the young Italian producer has already been handpicked by Len Faki, Orlando Voorn, Samuel L.Sessions and several other imprints (i.e.Klap Klap, Be As One) to release his own material on their labels.

François K regarded Roberto's music as "having an effortless quality; an almost dazzling sense of ease that masks a very strong foundation.” There has been an overwhelming response of feedback from other producers and DJs, and many complement the release, as a whole; some say it to be one of the best that Wave has put out for some time.

‘My Universe’ is a step forward in Roberto Bosco’s productions, and opens up another window into his world. While he’s playing all over his home of Italy, this release also marks his break out to the world as he preps for gigs around Europe, America and the rest of the globe.

NEW RELEASE + MIX :: John Daly's 'Meltdown' + DJ Set from The Room (Madrid)

2010-02-23T10:53:00.000-08:00

A few months ago, John Daly gave us the heads up that he was working on a new label. It was to be called One Track Records, and compared to his earlier productions we'll say this...it's a little bit deeper and a lot darker. 'Meltdown' is the first release, cataloged as 1TRACK001 and features 3 bonus versions.

While the Hard Wax samples give you a taste of what to expect, nothing sounds quite as good as the real thing. It's not yet up on Beatport, and there is minimal information on its Discogs page. At this point, you're just going to have to keep your eyes peeled for a copy (Hard Wax is out of stock), but if you happen to see one then don't sleep on it!

In other John Daly-related news, his set from Madrid is streaming on the venue's website. Be sure to visit The Room, where you can click on 'DJ Mixes' and find John's November DJ set, along with others from Move D and live sets by Prompt and Russ Gabriel.

John Daly (Ireland) is currently available for booking, and has limited availabilities in North America during the first half of June. To get in touch, please email vicki (at) forwardmgmt.net

World-renowned DJ, record collector, label owner and BBC 1 radio host Gilles Peterson grew up in South London, UK and at age 18 was spinning at the now-famous Dingwalls club in Camden. His sets covered the spectrum of urban music, from jazz to funk to soul and back to hip-hop. Out of this, Peterson co-founded the Acid Jazz label with some colleagues, which influenced the likes of Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai and Mother Earth.

At the same time, Peterson created compilations not only for his own label, but for Blue Note, Prestige and Street Sounds, which introduced popular and obscure jazz to younger generations. Peterson expanded his vision by creating the Talkin Loud label, which came to include some of England's most innovative drum'n'bass artists such as 4hero and Roni Size.

Teaming up with former Talkin Loud A&R man DJ Norman Jay, Peterson's acclaimed JDJ Presents: Desert Island Mix captured the pair's love and understanding of music history. The number of compilations Peterson has put together numbers in the dozens, from the vinyl-based Jazz Juice series for Street Sounds to the many Worldwide discs, which reflect the broad range of styles played on his like-named BBC program.

PRESS :: KRAFTWERK & FRANÇOIS K in the NEW YORK TIMES

2009-12-16T14:48:00.000-08:00

In a recent New York Times article, "Who Knew That Robots Were Funky?" François K was asked to reflect on his involvement with Kraftwerk:

"François Kevorkian, a D.J. at underground clubs in the late ’70s and early ’80s, would use Kraftwerk to blend tracks by Fela Kuti and Babatunde Olatunji into his sets. 'What was really remarkable was that their music was getting played just as much at Paradise Garage as it was getting played at the Mudd Club, and there were very, very few records that had that ability to cross over between all the different scenes,' said Mr. Kevorkian, who would later work with the band on its 'Electric Café' album. 'Kraftwerk was, like, universal.'"

Electronic music pioneers and living legends, the members of German avant-garde musical group Kraftwerk have recently released newly remastered editions of their eight classic albums in a deluxe box set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit 'Autobahn.' Not a lot of people know perhaps that until 2000, the only artists allowed to remix the band's recordings were François Kevorkian and William Orbit. François K has collaborated on several projects with Kraftwerk since the groups' early days. In 1983, François remixed the group's legendary “Tour de France” and three years later he was hired to mix the seminal 'Electric Café'album. His remixes remain to this day some of the most popular versions of the group's biggest hits.

Kraftwerk 12345678: The Catalogue
(CD, CD Box Set, Vinyl, Download)

"KRAFTWERK: Electro Pioneers, living legends and globally revered masters of electronic sound, celebrate the 35th anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit ‘Autobahn’ by releasing digitally remastered versions of eight astounding albums on October 5, 2009. Rolling back musical barriers with every forward-thinking phase of their career, Dusseldorf's Zen masters of electronic minimalism laid the foundations for four decades of computerised pop and dance music. By chain reaction and mutation, they have influenced generations of artists in all genres, mapping musical futures yet to come." Read more on kraftwerk.technopop.com.br

NEW RELEASE :: 'Collaboratory Remixes Volume 2' featuring remixes by JOHN DALY

2009-12-15T14:14:00.000-08:00

Earlier this year, Poker Flat kingpin Steve Bug released his fourth full-length album, 'Collaboratory,' which highlights his particularly strong knack for amalgamating his talents with other respectable artists. Still running on its praise, Poker Flat has just released 'Collaboratory Mixes Volume 2,' which features Ben Klock, Deetron and our very own John Daly.

"Ben does it again... 10/10! Full support" Radio Slave

"John Daly mix is a bomb. Enough to give the package full points!! Deep sexy gear. Love it. 5/5" Adultnapper

John actually contributes two very different remixes to this release, and both are for the track "Trust In Me," which features Brazilian singer/DJ Virginia Nascimento on vocals. In a Resident Advisor feature, 'Collaboratory' is broken down by individual tracks, and describes this particular collaboration as "a deep swung song...structured around a slow house vibe, but still works in a club environment with its hypnotic, ringing synth hooks and heavy bass elements."

The first remix by John Daly is in line with his sexier, deep house vibe, echoing Virginia's vocals and bringing out the bass from Bug's original production. Also included in the release is an extra dub remix that catapults towards the peak time at a tech-house night, accentuating euphoric builds and focusing on what elements can be pulled from the bottom out within the rhythm.

Forward Welcomes Roberto Bosco (Italy) To Its Roster

2009-11-16T18:14:00.000-08:00

Roberto Bosco has been previously signed by a handful of renowned personalities, but an upcoming project for François K's Wave Music will align his reputation alongside them. The young Italian producer has a short but highly impressive discography, citing labels such as Orlando Voorn's Night Vision, Samuel L. Session's Klap Klap and Len Faki's Figure. The 'Circle Dub' EP (click for samples) on Faki's imprint shows Bosco's versatility in techno. Heavily influenced from 90s German and Dutch electronic music, his style is in touch with the chunky minimal techno that's currently lauded on Resident Advisor and mnml ssgs and blasted within the walls of Berghain and Fabric. Only in his early 20s, Roberto has a keen foresight of his genre's cutting edge, and is able to filter it out into his exceptional original productions. Years ago, Bosco was selected to remix Juan Atkin's Infiniti single, "Game One," after signing to record the 'Close Your Eyes' EP for Night Vision. Lately, he has released on Be As One, an Israeli imprint that's attracted the tastes of Loco Dice, Gui Boratto, Kate Simko, Agoria and GummiHz. Since the start of 2009, Roberto's work has been the talk of many established techno musicians, and his time in the spotlight is only getting started.

Currently residing in Salerno, Italy, Roberto Bosco will soon be available for all markets, and we anticipate an American tour around late March of 2010. Please send any inquiries to vicki@forwardmgmt.net

PRESS ::: Reviews of BEAT PHARMACY : Wikkid Times Remixes EP

2009-11-02T13:12:00.000-08:00

NEW RELEASE on Wave Music :: BEAT PHARMACY :: Wikkid Times Remixes EP
Beat Pharmacy’s ‘Wikkid Times’ album gets the remix treatment from Appleblim & Komonazmuk, John Daly, Deadbeat and Intrusion on this massive EP.

Moeller, whether as Beat Pharmacy, Echologist or his own name, has spent his career releasing on some of the strongest labels in the world. The likes of Rekids, Third Ear, Connaisseur and Echochord have all called upon Moeller’s prodigious, dub-styled talents which is superb testimony to his abilities. Appleblim & Komonazmuk take on ‘Nuclear Race’ feat. Paul St Hilaire first off and create a slow burning dubstep interpretation which layers up gradually from stripped dub atmospherics to a dense, arpeggio laced crescendo. St Hilaire’s vocals drift in and out of the mix which adds to the layering of sounds and creates a mesmerising listen. Irish producer John Daly continues an amazing 2009 with his remix of ‘Time’ feat. Damon Aaron. A lazy house but powerful house beat underpins Daly’s use of chords and stabs while Aaron’s voice is used as an emotive and memorable counterbalance, making it yet another remix hit for the outstanding producer. One half of Echospace, Stephen Hitchell, dons his Intrusion cap for his remix of ‘Sunshine’ feat. Paul St Hilaire. An alias reserved as an outlet for Hitchell’s combination of his love of traditional dub reggae and his more techno excursions, Intrusion means a skanking, white-noise-washed and blissful trip for ‘Sunshine’.

Finally, Wagon Repair artist and engineering wizard Deadbeat carefully twists ‘Ghostship’ and its post apocalyptic lyrics from Spaceape around a low slung house groove. Clattering, loose percussion adds a swagger to cut while subtle, filtered stabs hint at buried melodies throughout. This is a stunning package and features some of the leading lights of dub infused sounds – unmissable.
VISIT WAVE MUSIC to listen and purchase the EP here.

Location: Salerno, Italy
Booking: vicki@forwardmgmt.net / lilihouse@forwardmgmt.net

BIOGRAPHY
Roberto Bosco has been previously signed by a handful of renowned personalities, and his most recent project for François K's Wave Music aligns his reputation alongside them. The young Italian producer has a short but highly impressive discography, citing labels such as Samuel L. Session's Klap Klap, Orlando Voorn's Night Vision and Len Faki's Figure. The 'Circle Dub' EP (click for review/samples) on Faki's imprint shows Bosco's versatility in techno. Tracks have been taken from it for a wide variety of DJ mixes. His "Piano Dub" from a Be As One release was in Ed Davenport's podcast for Little White Earbuds - a high-profile electronic music outlet that also praised his Mowar release. Heavily influenced from 90s German and Dutch electronic music, his style is in touch with the chunky minimal techno that's currently lauded on Resident Advisor and mnml ssgs and blasted within the walls of Berghain (where he played in February) and Fabric. He made his US debut in Miami in March 2010 at the ReSolute party, sharing a stage with François K and Radio Slave, and a bill with Tobias, Mathias Kaden and Kate Simko.

Only in his early 20s, Roberto has a keen foresight of his genre's cutting edge, and is able to filter it out into his exceptional original productions. Years ago, Bosco was selected to remix Juan Atkin's Infiniti single, "Game One," after signing to record the 'Close Your Eyes' EP for Night Vision. In the last year, he has released on Be As One - an Israeli imprint that's attracted the tastes of Loco Dice, Gui Boratto, Agoria and GummiHz - Figure and now Wave Music. Since the start of 2009, Roberto's work has been the talk of many established techno musicians, and his time in the spotlight is only getting started.

RECENT PRAISE
François K regarded Roberto's music as "having an effortless quality; an almost dazzling sense of ease that masks a very strong foundation; a depth and musical maturity that belies his young age." Having recently released new material from Roberto on Wave Music, he adds that "while he is already doing quite well, this is just a beginning. His career is going to blossom much further and turn him a major player on the international electronic music scene."

Orlando Voorn, a long-time legend from Amsterdam and founder of Night Vision selected Roberto to remix Juan Atkin's "Game One" in 2007, and then released an EP from the young artist, which features the hypnotic title track, "Close Your Eyes." Voorn heard Roberto through MySpace and was "impressed by his energetic and clean production. I signed him on Night Vision and off he went - watch out for him!"

Len Faki, who was a long-time resident of Ostgut (before it was named Berghain) and established artist and label owner for many years, released what's better known as the Circle Dub EP (Figure SPC D) in early 2009. He believes there's more to come from Roberto in terms of greatness, and considers Roberto Bosco "a young, very gifted and talented rising artist."

SELECT REVIEWS/PRESS

"Now already three EP's deep in to 2009 on such labels as Be As One and Mowar, his fourth outing keeps his head firmly planted in the Detroit sound, artfully proving he paid attention to his forefathers of the scene." - Resident Advisor, Nov 2009: Figure SPC D

"The original version starts with a rumbling, shuddering drum pattern that recalls the tribal/Tenaglia style, before evocative Wave-style techy chords kick in. Thankfully, Bosco is more than just a deft copyist; an attention to detail and skillful composition see a resonating vocal snippet coincide with a brief yet effective breakdown and later on, jazzy keys augmenting the arrangement." - Little White Earbuds, Nov 2009: Login Exact

2009-10-07T12:15:00.000-07:00

Packed with loads of interesting panel topics, Q&A’s, key notes and product presentations, ADE’s conference program promises to be the most extensive one to date. FORWARD MANAGEMENT's founders Aurelie Brambilla-Cotugno & François K will be part of the ADE's Friday conference panel, THE TRUTH ABOUT FLATRATES, discussing the pros and cons of the controversial topic of flatrate-tax for digital contents that the trade organizations of the “Creative Industries" have tried to introduce as a new business model. This new model would benefit consumers and flatrate service operators, but leave the artists out of the bargain. Aurelie Brambilla-Cotugno will be leading the discussion as the moderator of this high-profile panel.

He began playing the piano at age three, playing by ear two-voice songs from church on the piano. He first composed at age four, and began taking lessons at five. During the past ten years, Alexander has been involved with competitions, accompanying, and entertainment. He became involved with choral activities beginning his freshman year at Lutheran South High School in Affton, MO, and continued to succeed in this area as well.

ADE 2009 :: 365!LIVE MASTERCLASS & WORKSHOP featuring Francois K & Ben Liebrand

2009-10-07T01:40:00.000-07:00

On Thursday, October 22nd, Francois will be the featured guest at 365Live's in-depth workshop on music production along with renowned mixmeister Ben Liebrand. Francois will discuss and display will demonstrate how to make a DJ mix for a compilation, with all the bells & whistles, live effects, etc. - not to be missed!

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP [source : 365mag.com] "The workshop program will start in the afternoon with SHARE: Audio Visual Playground: a concept in which many creative artists join forces for a real live jam-session. SHARE offers creative audiovisual minds the opportunity to show everyone with equal interests their raw sketches or complete audio and/or video projects. New ideas and collabs will be formed and eventually everyone will come together to put up a utterly innovating show. These amazing results will be shown in the 365LIVE! masterclass early in the evening. Wanna join and share your creations? Sign up for free at shareamsterdam.com!

After this SHARE workshop, exclusively to these masterclasses, developers of Ableton's new MAX For LIFE software will give a presentation about their new product. MAX For LIFE is the talk of the town in producer land as it allows you to build your own plug-ins (which are used to add extra effects or add digital instruments for example). They even say, a good dance producer is as good as his best plug-in. And now it's possible to create your own! This workshop is a must for the advanced dance producer who works with Ableton Live 8."

NEW RELEASE :: DJ YELLOW & ASTRID SURYANTO

2009-08-10T15:43:00.000-07:00

Check out this hot new release from our DJ, MKL's label Lion1music.

DJ YELLOW and ASTRID SURYANTO
"Space Angel's"
"Feel Good Right"
CAT: L1M009
Label: Lion1music
Contact: info@Lion1music.com

Dj Yellow aims straight for the heat of the dance floor with the constant minimalist "Feel Good Right". The flip side, "Space Angels" is a moody atmospheric step to the left, interspersed with sultry dialogue. A big room filler from Berlin to Buenos Aries and all points in between.

REVIEW :: BEAT PHARMACY (Brendon Moeller) Remixes & Versions

2009-08-05T15:52:00.000-07:00

CHECK OUT A REVIEW OF BEAT PHARMACY [BRENDON MOELLER] WIKKID TIMES Remixes & Versions on Textura.org. You can listen & buy the album on wavemusic.com.

"Stellar remix overhaul of Brendon Moeller's recent Beat Pharmacy opus Wikkid Times—and how could it be otherwise with the likes of Minilogue, Deadbeat, and Intrusion helping out? The “protest” lyrical dimension that guest vocalists Spaceape, Ras B., Damon Aaron, Coppa, and Paul St. Hilaire brought to the original's dub-techno grooves is still present, albeit refracted through the diverse approaches of the remixers.

Some of the treatments are clubbier than others, with producers like John Daly and XDB keeping their eyes squarely focused on the dance floor, and, as usual with such affairs, certain tracks stand out from the crowd. Making good on every one of its ten minutes, Minilogue's “Rooftops” version escalates gradually from an introductory percolating thrust to a storming dub-house throb that pretty much buries Coppa's vocal (“Make me need freedom for my mind / In these wicked times”) under its driving bass lines and heady dub atmosphere. Deadbeat (Scott Monteith) opens his magnificent “Ghostship” remix restrainedly, allowing the focus to remain squarely on Spaceape's vocal (“Deliverance and retribution / is the new constitution”), but then unleashes the track's tribal-dub broil at the two-minute mark (don't miss the beautiful break that hiccups thirty seconds later). Drenching Paul St Hilaire's vocal in an ocean of vaporous atmosphere, Stephen Hitchell works his customary Intrusion magic on the languorous “Sunshine”; Applebim & Komonazmuk, on the other hand, pair St Hilaire's voice with a furiously pulsating dubstep groove in “Nuclear Race.” Headhunter gives his “Strangers” remix a powerful yet understated dubstep thrust that doesn't get in the way of Spaceape's politically-charged lyrics (“Speak to me of language and violence / Speak to me of voices burdened with silence).

Elsewhere, Irish producer John Daly gives “Time” a clubby and soulful house makeover, “Backwards Never” becomes shuffling tech-house swing in XDB's (Metroloux Records owner Kosta Athanassiadis) hands, and Ramadanman (David Kennedy) gives “Piece of Mind” a funky skip that ends the album on a positive note. A few of the tracks, while decent, don't justify their ten-minute running times. Ras B.'s voice echoes through the clouds during Quantec's overlong dub-techno treatment of “Hope & Frustration,” while Marseille-based Teddy G. opts for more of a loose, jam-styled approach to his jazzy dub-funk handling of “Assassination of the Mind” (love that clavinet)."...

2009-07-21T18:12:00.000-07:00

DJs got it good...They get to travel around the world while doing what they love; spreading their love of music while giving people a good time. Our very own John Daly was asked to do a DJ set at the Tarabua club in the exotic port-city of Batumi, Georgia. According to Lonely Planet, TARABUA Beach Club is a "fresh-air venue close to the beach, with stages and large dance spaces where people party till dawn every night. Long lists of guest DJs from around Europe provide high-energy and chill-out beats, helped out some nights by singers or bands. They open their doors around 21:00 and start to fill after 23:00." Not bad for a summer get-away!
