Alien Pimp, interviu pentru Knowledge Mag
www.thisfollowingmusic.com

Desi l-am avut pana nu demult aici alaturi de noi, Silviu Costinescu aka Alien Pimp lucreaza la o lume mai buna de pe teritoriu spaniol(Barcelona). O placere sa ii asculti vorbele, iar interviul pentru Kmag are content informativ si muzical. Cititi articolul in intregime aici. Ca sa personificam, mixul este select, inteligent, greoi de la experienta si inaltat spiritual, adica nu pentru oricine. Toate cele bune catre Silviu. Enjoy

One of our local heros(and friends) Silviu Costinescu aka Alien Pimp who describes himself as "some hybrid entity mutated from the creative genes of an electronic music producer, a media whore, a visual artist, a crazy preacher, a DJ, Don Quijote AND Sancho Panza"(yes, this sounds as simple as complex) was recently the subject of a short chat with Knowledge Magazine. He moved out of Bucharest to Barcelona(good choice), as I know he's a free spirit who can't embrace the world as supposed to from such a hollow point as Bucharest. However, you Can't miss this one. Have a good read as I did, here, thanks go to Kmag for it. The mix sounds smart, icey yet warm, heavy from life-experience yet lifted up spiritually, the kind of music you listen to when balanced and fulfilled. at least on the way. enjoy

Scenele de dubstep din UK si USA nu sunt tocmai surori, se stie ca scena de dubstep din state a castigat popularitate abia in ultimul an pastrandu-si inca aura de fresh&young, o scena preluata in linii mari din UK insa cu un mers propriu, si deci si un alt lifestyle, alt crez..si o alta esenta. Punctul comun? "The great vibes".

[interview] SCENE | SPOTLIGHT: KUBIKS for KMAG

KUBIKS pentru KMAG
articol via Kmag

Albumul de debut al lui Kubiks, Blurred Vision, va fi lansat pe 9 Noiembrie la Rubiks Records, propriul sau label. Cu aceasta ocazie, Kubiks s-a asezat comfortabil la un pahar de vorba cu Knowledge Magazine, discutie din care aflam concluzii sincere, putin zguduitoare insa nu nerealiste.
Cea mai fierbinte propozitie sare deja in ochi de la primul click: zilele de drum&bass s-au scurs pentru Kubiks.

Cateva highlighturi ale interviului:
KMag: de ce este noul tau album intitulat Blurred Vision?

Kubiks: conceptul in principiu abordeaza mecanismul/ideea/modul prin care drum&bass-ul si industria muzicala iti pot denatura["baga in ceata"] perceptia asupra realitatii.
Cat de usor poti fi prin in capcana gandului: "da, o sa ma dedic full time in asta", cati oameni fac sa para ca traiesc un stil de viata plin de succes si cat de "glamorous" pare totul cand in realitate e vorba despre o nuca greu de spart iar calatoria asta inseamna de fapt sa pui in locuri dubioase pe sisteme de sunet vai de ele, incunjurat de MC si testosteron. Odata ce realizezi cat de greu este, iti dai seama ca poate vedeai lucrurile in ceata, cu o viziune blurata.

KMag: ce tel ti-ai propus la inceput sa atingi, de fapt?

Kubiks : imi pare rau sa spun asta, dar am ajuns la capatul zilelor mele de drum&bass, mai ales acum ca familia si jobul ma solicita si mai mult. Am vrut sa scot albumul incat sa aduc un tribut scenei cu stilul meu divers si sa prezint totodata cateva talente cu care am lucrat de-a lungul timpului precum Davide Carbone si Lomax sau -recent- doi dintre studentii mei Zetek si Re:criminate.

[...]

Mai departe aflam din interviu despre importanta asamblarii unui album in comparatie cu efortul necesar unui single, despre stilul si amprenta 100% Kubiks de pe album si colaborarile de exceptie, de altfel aflam ca in curand prioritatile sale isi schimba ordinea in lantul existential; practic..am castigat o extra valoare in mostenirea DNBului, insa am pierdut un element care dadea echilibru.
Cititi restul articolului pe KMag.

"I have been part of this community for so long and know it will be hard to let go or maybe just put on hold for a few years."

Thanks for all Kubiks! Respect from Bucharest, really wise words.

Daca vreti sa castigati unul dintre cele 10 CD-uri gratuite cu albumul, atunci raspundeti la intrebarea: Care a fost numele labelului la care Kubiks a lansat prima oara in 2002?

[Interview] Walrus TV | SSUR

Ultimul interviu din seria Walrus TV by UpperPlaygound ne face cunostinta cu fondatorul labelului de wear SSUR[cu sub-brandurile Rebel Ape si Caviar Cartel], Russ Karablin, o figura proeminenta atat in street wear cat si in street art - fapt reflectat in imaginea SSUR. Arta sa face fuziune intre pop culture si war propaganda amestecand tonalitatile trecutului cu icoanele lumii contemporane in lucrari pe tema sexului, politicii si protestului.
Thx UP!

[new release] Introducing: .shadybrain | Rregula • "Where Am I" Studio Mix Oct 2009

Introducere: Shady Brain
www.shadybrain.net
soundcloud.com/shadybrain
Rregula | Where Am I EP

Welcome to the .shadybrain label site. We are about music from Drum and Bass to Indie, from Techno to Experimental. We do not believe in creative borders, we believe in good music! We want to deliver a message of trust to both, artists and users.[.shadybrain.net intro]

Apropo de mesajul de intampinare.
Labelul .shadybrain, fondat in 2004 de catre Christian Hillemeyer si Marc A. Steiling este recunoscut pentru o activitate bogata pe teren digital, dar iata ca dupa trei ani de zile revine cu un release pe vinil distribuit prin Triple Vision/St Holdings, anume cu Rregula: Where Am I EP. Rregula face parte dintr-un sir lung de artisti semnati la .shadybrain printre care Optiv / Cause 4 Concern, Phace, Misanthrop, N.Phect, Axiom, Dementia, Cern sau Duo Infernale.

In interviul luat de Dogs On Acid, Chris Impulse[foto] topeste granitele unor genuri muzicale atat de reprezentative pentru noua era a globalizarii subliniind totodata versatilitatea labelului .shadybrain.
".shadybrain is going to release a wide range of different underground music styles. We do not want to limit ourselves. People can expect anything from Drum & Bass to Techno, from Electronica to Indie."

Putem din start aprecia coloristica EPului Where Am I ca fiind caracteristica amprentei producatorului[Rregula], insa nu fara acea nota de actualitate specifica unui label fara frontiere. EPul cuprinde doua colaborari, una cu Silent Witness iar cealalta cu Panacea, pentru piesa • Down Underneath[in sfarsit, in ciuda multor ani de rezidenta in acelasi Berlin].

.shadybrain ne atrage atentia: "EP-ul o sa darame pereti si o sa topeasca inimi!"
Puteti asculta/cumpara releasul aici.
Surpriza placuta este ca vine cu un free tune[BIG THANKS!]:

Alix Perez sta de vorba cu D&BTV despre albumul sau de debut, "1984". Nu insa fara a ne face o scurta introducere in povestea vietii sale ca producator relevand detalii importande din drumul parcurs pana in acest moment.
