Nume: Ivan Shopov
Cod: COOH/Balkansky
Varsta: 25

Ocupatie: Artist//Producator/Dj
Genuri muzicale: drum and bass/ dubstep/ jazz - electronica
Releasuri: peste 17 viniluri si 8 CDuri;

Intro: Primul sau contact cu muzica i-a pus in maini o chitara bas, la varsta de 16 ani activand deja ca membru intr-o formatie de hardcore-metal. In acelasi timp a facut primii pasi in sfera muzicii electronice lasand in urma amprenta primelor incercari.
Astazi, cu 7 ani de experienta in drum and bass, peste 17 viniluri si 8 CDuri scoase pe piata, Cooh este unul dintre cei mai cautati dj de drum and bass ai momentului.

fest 007

Despre COOH sau Ivan Shopov, din primele clipe petrecute in prezenta sa constati ca e un tip genial.
Asta pe masura ce afli tot mai multe despre activitatile si pasiunile sale, despre cum isi petrece timpul liber si ce conduita implica. Daca suna prea serios, well..e si simpatic!
In 2002 s-a lansat in primul sau proiect muzical alaturi de un alt artist dat de Sofia: Valeri Sholevski aka Ogonek.
Impreuna au facut din drum and bass o adevarata miscare locala umpland cluburile capitalei bulgare alaturi de crewul HMSU. Principala caracteristica a soundului lor timpuriu o reprezenta tendinta de a pulsa mesaje patriotice noii generatii, imbogatind scena cu multa originalitate si tehnica. O|C(Ogonek&Cooh) si-au definit cu timpul un stil aparte, dedicat soundului intunecat si puternic al drum and bassului, sound care a inflorit tot mai mult pe plan international.
In paralel, Cooh si-a dezvoltat propriul proiect de productie lansand in cadrul unora dintre cele mai cunoscute labeluri precum: Position Chrome, Offkey,Commercial Suicide, PRSPCT, Obsessions, LB , Sinuous, TOV, G2, Bass Rejects etc.
Piesele sale sunt adesea auzite in seturile unor cunoscute nume ca: Raiden,The Panacea,
Dylan, Limewax, Gain, Audio, BSE,Tech itch,Future Prophecies, Evol
Intent , Counterstrike, Vengeanze , The Sect, Infiltrata, EBK, etc.
Rui Soares www.myspace.com ruisoares_formiga (88) (Medium)
Aparitiile sale numara in lantul lor tari precum Rusia, Franta, Belgia, Spania, Germania, Olanda, etc., publicul roman avand parte de prezenta sa deja de cateva ori.

Era de asteptat cumva ca dupa concluzia < "Inainte de toate, Ivan Shopov face muzica" > sa aflu ca acesta este implicat in acelasi timp si in proiecte de dubstep, IDM, downtempo si jazz sub numele de Balkansky, castigand competitii si pulsand spiritul bulgar tot mai departe de granitele tarii sale.

Pe partea de dubstep a semnat deja cateva piese in cadrul labelului Subtrakt, un proiect tinut ascuns pana nu de mult.
Iar de proiectul balkansky, mai multe pe spatiul >Balkansky<.

Proiectele sale mai numara o colaborare cu Dean Rodell, Current Value, MC Coppa si Marina[microfon] sub numele de Underhill.
Detalii >aici<

Numele Ivan Shopov este legat si de arta, uneori contribuind la designul copertilor de release. myspace.com/coohdnb.

Pe langa rolul de headliner, Cooh a fost suportul multor nume cu ecou in scena de dum and bass, cateva dintre ele fiind :
Raiden, Dylan, Audio, Dom&Roland, Gridlok, Tech Itch, The Panacea, Counterstrike, Noisia, Teebee, Curent Value,
Evol Intent,Fanu,Dieselboy,Dillinja,Aaron Spectre, RobynChaos and many
si multi altii...

Many thanks, Ivan. Big it up!

final-fucking-project2
A fost Therapy Sessions Bucharest 2.
Incep cu multumirile pe care le trimit cu caldura celor prezenti la acest event. Nice one!
all-in-all
Am avut un weekend aglomerat in jurul datei de 18 Octombrie: un festival de muzica electronica si cel mai "ca la carte", marca TMBase, in timp ce pe cetatile undergroundului electronic din capitala s-au proiectat lucrarile unor terapeuti din cadrul "Universitatii de inalte studii psiho-motorii-neuro-re'active", Therapy Sessions.
Se intampla si ne cuprinde si pe noi, indeajuns incat sa ramana semne vizibile pe figura scenei presarate de o diversitate versatila inca; dar se subintelege.
cumva..
Pentru ca fata de americani, nemti, englezi si japonezi noi nu le-am vazut pe toate [social system s suckers&lovers], avem privilegiul de a ne bucura mai tarziu de ceea ce altii au initiat si semi epuizat. *smile*

E si normal sa fie putina nesiguranta acolo unde orice stil este preluat si transformat in miscare locala.

incat..
Pozitionarea sa corecta in planul consumerist necesita o informare pozitiva din partea unor persoane competente, promovarea fiind mijlocul cheie de dispersare a informatiei.
Poate parea o joaca dintr-un unghi amatoricesc [una e in viata reala si alta e pe forumuri] dar se ajunge oricum la aceeasi poveste:There's no Star without a masterhand behind doin' all the work in order to make it shine
Asa ca big ups to all bringin on the real style!!

Am incheiat o noua runda - pe 2008 - in cadrul Arenelor Romane, where the bass was @ its place, and the gang dropped the headbang like the things ran outta hand.
Muzica grea aduce si incidente dar la urma raman boabele de efervescenta care mai infloresc in flashuri mult timp dupa event.
Publicul merita un 10.
Dropdread presented..
much love to the growin' fam,

Noi ne-am simtit bine!

Vengeanze @ Therapy sessions Bucharest 2
Vengeanze s-a facut remarcat printr-un set complet; chiar complet. O sa il intalnim inca o data pe 27 Decembrie alaturi de Panacea, fiindca amandoi ne-au impresionat si pare alegerea voita pentru sarbatoarea de dupa Craciun: Black&White Rewind Party.

CS-WEIRDO-MCLEON-C9H13NO3
Counterstrike fiind reprezentat asta data de Justin a fost manifestul darkostepic mult asteptat de public. Nici producatorii nostri Weirdo si C9H13NO3 nu au fost mai prejos, atat Justin cat Si Fernando[Vengeanze] aratandu-si interesul si aprecierea pozitiva fata de creatiile baietilor nostri. Munca aduce recompensa; mult spor, Adi & Liviu!

MC-LEON-@-THERAPY-SESSIONS-BUCHAREST-2
MC Leon sau revelatia din ultima perioada pe plan local, a dat nastere unei colaborari simpatice cu Weirdo si C9H13NO3. Noua ne-a placut, ne-a facut sa dam din toate oasele..numai de bine!

Enduser by Breakcore.ro asta seara in Fire Club

Breakcore.ro
prezintă, pentru prima oară în România

ENDUSER ( http://www.myspace.com/enduser )
(SONIC TERROR, AD NOISEAM, SOOTHSAYER, SUBLIGHT, OUTBREAK)


Sâmbătă 25 Octombrie, orele 22:00, intrare 20RON
enduser500


Pentru prima oară în România vom avea parte de un live set exclusiv semnat Enduser, king of bollywood breaks and destroyer of amens. Unul dintre cei mai populari și mai respectați producători/dj de breakcore din lume, Lynn Standafer a început incursiunea în lumea muzicală ascultând creațiile unor nume precum KRS-One, Skinny Puppy sau Photek, astfel dezvoltându-se pasiunea sa pentru un breakcore influențat de jungle și hip-hop. Începând cu anul 1994, Enduser a dărâmat pereții dintre genurile muzicale și a reușit să creeze de nenumărate ori la diverse evenimente o atmosferă demnă de romanele lui Cliver Barker.
Cu ajutorul unor nume precum John Peel sau Bailey, dar și datorită showului Breezeblock difuzat de BBC Radio1, Enduser a lucrat cu artiști de calibru, cum ar fi The Bug, Panacea, Dr. Israel, Bill Laswell și nenumărați alții. Piesele sale sunt semnate la labeluri importante, dintre care putem enumera Ant-Zen, Sublight, Ad Noiseam, Hymen (cel mai mare label german axat pe muzica electronica industriala) și Outbreak, important label drum and bass din UK. În momentul de față, Enduser aka Lynn locuiește în Brooklyn, New York, și se ocupă cu diverse OST-uri pentru filme independente și, surprinzător dar adevărat, creează muzică pentru compania de jocuri Acclaim US.

Vengeanze / mini interview [eng]

l_a2e25dadd4d18f6438d65e21e65a2bb5
Last but no least, I'm takin' you guys now to Spain's finest Tehno DNB dj-producer, Vengeanze..speaking to us directly from Sevilla!

Me: Let me introduce you to the drum'n bass lovers here, first: this
is Fernando aka Vengeanze; how do the friends call you though? *smile*

Vengeanze:

They always call me Fer or Fernandito wich its a loving diminutive of
my name...


Me: Vengeanze in romanian means razbunare and we know you report on
vengeance; why did you choose this name to officially represent
you?[pff..shoulda asked Limewax same thing lol]

Vengeanze:
I just like the word*smile* Also im a big fan of hardcore music so i thought of getting a name something like the hardcore bands wich is it all about the honor, pride and stuff like this. In the end I went for Vengeanze cuz was something raw, but i think im gonna just put it from now in spanish in all the places as i get noticed that there are other producers called Vengeance.


Me: Getting closer to what your name declares, we also celebrate the
second time on treatment this year and we can't wait to hear what you
have to share on the dj desk with us. Can you describe some of the
effects during the impact of your produced medicines ? What are the
influences of your drumandbass style and what led you to these sounds
?

Vengeanze:
Well im pretty influenced by techno, always been by the hardest one, but these days im getting really into minimal and weird sounds too. I'm also trying to take back all those dark atmospheres from the old Bad Company and hardware dnb from the start of this decade, im really into that sound at the moment.


Me: [longer question following] I'm gonna build a deck between these
harder and more bassline consisted sounds and the stuff hapening in
the ring. Always something I've been meaning to ask. Are the spanish
junglists hitting up the ring's floor in ruff rituals known as 'pogo'
? Here a small percent of the ruff ridems lovers actually transform
the dancing into a real manifestation of brutal moves..which sometimes
end up with someone hurt..Though isnt so bad, mostly too much fuss
about it and in the same time, the 'pogo' culture isnt met everywhere;
in fact just in isolated communities. I know in places like Bulgaria
or Austria people dont dance ruff. I guess thats why Bucharest gest
special sometimes. Just how special is the drumandbass comunity there?
[we need to check out other yards too.. :)

Vengeanze:
Its funny that you asked me that thing cuz some of the hardest mosh hitters from the hardcore scene from my city are getting really into drum and bass, specially on the one I'm playing and they are comming every party trying to do it like they are in a hardcore concert...so its kinda funny see them doing that with dnb, they dont get really hurt (just sometimes) but most of the time what they get its problems with the security of the party....lol


Me: What do we have to know about ur new project Schranz&bass?

Vengeanze:
Well that term was invented by Proket when the techno dnb boom happend like 2 years ago. I really liked it cuz at that time i was really into schranz. Nowadays im seing lot of people triying to do that, mostly of them just trying to fake it, so I'm returning to pure techno music. I would preffer get a bit away from everything else and go back again to the techno
dnb term as it was called always.


Me: I know you going to be a good pilot; at least thats what you study
from hard lately. How's to fly a big bird? Can u describe us in a few
words ur lifestyle? Tha'd be awsome for us to know..we're gettin bored
sometimes @ here [not me, though..i just keep on hearin' it]..

Vengeanze:
Well, flying an helicopter its such a great thing! I started to study that since my father is a helicopter technician, that in addition to my passion for helicopters. I never though of becoming a pilot but I found a grant from the goverment of Spain and i got it. Basicly its one of the coolest thing you can do ever, more like seeing everything from a totaly different point of view.
You would think maybe its the same as flying an airplane but an airplane never would have the same posibilities to flight forward, backward, hovering.



Me: Leaving joke aside: How do u see the future of the drumandbass
scene? I mean with all the influences..now with the dubstep gainin' so
much turf..you think these twi bi*ches will build a nice home
together..or are they simply separate things?

Vengeanze:
I think drum ad bass its pretty close to dubstep to be honest. They got almost the same influences, and i think the future of dubstep its gonna be really similar as drum and bass has been. Not sure about drum and bass though, as its getting influenced by lot of diferent things and getting really big!
I think its not gonna stop to rise at leats for the next 5 years.


Me: I know you're back from touring allover Spain with master COOH
this past week..or weeks? How was it?

Vengeanze:
Actually the tour was part of the CREATURES OF HABIT TOUR 2008 l_e907374a86214430bc910ab3538ebd7b
with Gein, Cooh and myself. Cooh and me were the ones chosen for the spanish and portuguse dates and the tour, I must say.. was pretty amazing! As all of you already know, Ivan is crazy! But Saint (the one from Gein) was also kinda insane so we had loads of fun together doin what we like and love. Pretty much the entire tour we traveled by car, allover Spain and Portugal so you guys can imagine the memories we gathered on the road; yea..all in all pretty amazing!


Me: Give us some infos on you that you reaaaaaally think we need to know. :)

Vengeanze:
Well lets do some promotion now! haha.. You should know about my next releases 1st;
I got some stuff coming in the next month like my 12" on Habit with Cooh wich its gonna come in like 3-4 weeks with two tracks called Love control and Infected.
Also got some fresh stuff comming on Future Sickness called "lo parto to".
Then comes "Caves" which will be released on PRSPCT; THE first LP with artists such Audio, Donny, Counterstrike, Cooh and
others.
Meanwhile I'm working on some stuff more for PRSPCT and Habit.
Appart from drum and bass I recently just started an electro side project with Dub Elements so we're soon gonna hit the studio to see what happens ;)



Me: Would u like to say a few words for the crowd expecting u on the 18?

Vengeanze:
Yeah im doing a live set on the 18th and i would like to let know all the people that I will play lot of different stuff on my live set, like techno, dubstep, electro, breakbeat and of course drum and bass!!
May I drag ur attention for a moment please?:)
For the people who expect a straigh dnb set, please open your mind and get fun with the mix i have done for all of you!;)


Me: Muchas gracias, Fernando! Tryin to figure out sth nice to tell
you, though all the words bumpin my head seem to sound italian rather
than spanish lol...Many thanks, man..you'll be kickin on the 18. Get
here safe!
