Dear all, I'm trying to book a date for DJ STINGRAY. He's available on 28th April Please find here under a biography and also click on: http://soundcloud.com/dj-stingray-tribal-king http://www.frequency.com/video/dj-stingray-s-all-connected/22913119 New York cultivated, DJ Stingray has relocated and is already one of the top djs in South Beach. Acquiring his Liberal Arts Degree at the University of Albany, Stingrays' musical heritage is derived from his father (a musician) and his uncle (also a DJ), both whose presence gave him the tools and foundation to not only follow in their footsteps but also to take it to his own unique direction. His first experience was at the age of 10, learning the fundamental DJ skills from his uncle and duplicated the spins, switches and mixes, and taking it a step further to generate his own grooves and dimensions. A few years later he found himself featured at the most legendary of the local hot spots in the Bronx, including The Devil's Nest, Red Zone, Webster Hall, and many others. Stingray has shared the spotlight of New York's world-renown Dj scene with such talents as Larry Levan, Todd Terry, Junior Vasquez, and Little Louie Vega to name a few. Then on to South Beach, DJ Stingray has made his own mark on the scene. He has had working residencies in Miami Beach in clubs such as Blue Lounge, Crobar, Space, N.V, and other nightclubs. He previously inspired the masses as resident of such South Beach legends as Liquid, V Lounge and Le Cabaret. Stingray's shows have frequented every club on South Beach and have expanded his horizons to Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Toronto, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Aruba, Los Angeles and beyond; if you havent experienced him already, you will soon. In the last year Stingrays shows in Colombia have grown from the clubs to the Convention Centers and have become legendary, with bookings well into 2012. This is a major achievement since the Electronica audience in Colombia is regarded as one of the most educated and up to date on the subject in the world, they know their Djs!!. Stingray is also ensuring that his sound is heard around the world by drumming out tracks for everyone to hear. The list includes "Get up and Go to Work", on SPF Records (Sounds for People); "The Dance Floor is Now Open", on Prince Charming Records, and numerous apperances on underground labels and CDs and his latest and biggest hit so far Las Calles de Cartagena a song featuring Humberto Pernett from Sony Music Colombia on the vocals and soon to be released in Colombia, Spain and the USA. 2011 promises to take STINGRAY higher, with a brand new record of all original music coming out in Spain on the annis/bonita record label distributed by stereo productions. In Colombia and the USA, the video of the song Las Calles de Cartagena can be seen currently on Telemundo all over South America and in the USA on MUN2 TV and on a3TV in the Miami area,. STINGRAY kicked off the new year in Cartagena as one of the headline Djs on the Ultramar Festival which took place on the 2,3 and 4th of January in Cartagena Colombia, where other great Djs like Mauro Picotto, Marco Carola, Joy Kitikonti, Corvin Dalek and many others played in one of the most exotic cities in the world, he continued to Costa Rica, Salinas, Ecuador and Guatemala as the official Dj of the 1st Playboy tour of South America followed by tours in Colombia and April 23 as part of the Ultra Music Festival in Quito, Ecuador with Djs Bad Boy Bill and a host of others. Currently, Stingray is located in Washington DC bringing his world class skills and experience to the DC scene. I hope to hear from you soon. Regards.

BOOKING OFFER: DJ STINGRAY
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 31, 2012 by debloqueBOOKING OFFERS: MOVING FUSION + TUNNIDGE
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 30, 2012 by debloqueHello,
I’m booking some dates from late May 2012 onwards for MOVING FUSION and TUNNIDGE
They will come separately.
Please find here some useful words and some links to be clicked on:
TUNNIDGE http://soundcloud.com/tunnidge
A new name to the scene, Tunnidge makes his debut for the home of heavyweight orthodox dubs, Deep Medi. ‘Geddeon’ is a static stepper that could have been produced anytime in the last 3 years, sticking as it does to the template laid down by Loefah on ‘Horror show’, all cavernous reverbed slowsteppers labouring under an all encompassing darkness. ‘Face melt’ on t’other side doesn’t let up, with another unremitting sludge stepper, pressured under the weight of a mammoth sub attack and clocking you round the lungs with some industrial strength snares…
MOVING FUSION http://www.myspace.com/movingfusion
Moving Fusion exploded onto the scene in 1998 with the dance floor smashing heavy weight anthem Turbulence on Ram Records which went on to receive MixMags coveted Tune of the Year award. Ever since, Moving Fusion have been a permanent fixture of the Ram Records family and at the cutting edge of dance music production. The outfit have also enjoyed touring the world on a regular basis, mixing up the music that they love. Their debut artist album The Start Of Something confirmed them as a drum and bass outfit of epic proportions.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards.
Alain

Please find here a biography + some links to be clicked on: http://www.myspace.com/video/naivsuper/antoine-chessex/31454929 + http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=BE&v=Vc20XMcyobw Antoine Chessex is a Swiss saxophone player, improviser, composer and experimental musician born in 1980 in Vevey, Switzerland. His works are based on the exploration of the physicality of sounds and spaces. Nowadays Chessex plays mostly as a solo performer appearing either in fully acoustic settings where his circular breathing textures react with the sonic architecture of the space he is performing in or amplifying his horn with amps or PA systems and electronic devices often resulting in intense live actions. In addition to regular international touring as a solo performer, Chessex has also been playing with the band Monno (Conspiracy Records) and collaborating with different musicians like Thomas Ankersmit, Lasse Marhaug, Zbigniew Karkowski, C. Spencer Yeh, Chris Corsano, Didi Bruckmayr, Axel Dörner, Mattin, Dave Phillips, Valerio Tricoli, Hans Koch, Kasper T. Toeplitz, Christian Weber, Matthew Bower, architect Christian Waldvogel (Globus Cassus) and media artist Ulrike Gabriel(flow 2002-2003). In 2009, he received a composition grant by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia for the creation of DUST a piece for violins, electronic and diffusion in quadraphonic sound. I hope to hear from you very soon. Have a nice week-end.

BOOKING OFFER: ASTMA
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 25, 2012 by debloqueDear all,
I’m booking a few dates for the Russian duon Astma featuring Alexei
Borisov and Olga Nosova.
They are available between 26th and 29th April.
Please find here under a biography.
Please also click on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l4shHfQeyU
Next, I was very impressed with the Russian, improv-collaboration duo,
Astma (Alexei Borisov and Olga Nosova).* Pairing drummer/vocalist Olga
Nosova from the Russian noise- core scene and Russian industrial legend
Alexei Borisov (seriously were talking pre-’89 USSR here), Astma is a drum
and guitar-torture act incorporating looped electronics and disturbing
improv vocal performance. Playing in near total darkness, the two set to
work, seemingly unaware of one another and yet making music that
complimented each other in powerful ways.
If kung-fu styles could be applied to drum-kits, I would describe Nosova’s
style as drunken-master. She worked the kit in forceful, stumbling ways
that kept the listener off-balance the entire performance. Borisov played
his guitar effects pedals more than his guitar as he manipulated the
signal from it into all sorts of electro-glitches and worbles. Astma’s set
began with a spare sound and became increasingly dense as they introduced
new elements such as Nosova triggering a killer industrial backing loop
(the main instrument of forward propulsion in the set), or when Borisov
stood up and unleashed on his guitar. Both Nosova and Borisov did some
form of singing during the set, but it was completely alien in its effect.
Nosova sang in high-pitched eee-ooo’s that sounded like a female toddler
in-the-wild discovering and attempting opera vocal warm-ups; while Borisov
mumbled into the microphone sounding like a microphone sound-check coming
through the walls from the building two doors down. Astma’s set was
awesome and their 45-minutes of electro- industrial-noise left me wanting
more.
I would like to hear from you very soon
Regards.

BOOKING OFFER: JOHN WIESE
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 23, 2012 by debloqueDear all, I'm booking some dates for John Wiese in partnership with Lee Tusk. JOHN WISE is available between 24th and 26th March 2012. Please read this review and also click on: http://soundcloud.com/johnwiese Out of all of the American noisemakers, California's John Wiese is among my absolute favourites. Although like many of his peers his release schedule is almost impossible to follow, with tapes, cdrs and limited vinyl coming faster than Ron Jeremy's teenage understudy, he defined the genre with the seminal 'Soft Punk'. Taking fragments of punk and hardcore records, he pieced together an album which showed why American noise differed from European noise (and Japanese noise for that matter) and to these (battered) ears remains unmatched in the genre. Since then he's been touring incessantly and anyone lucky enough to have caught him live will know what I mean when I say his sets have to be experienced in the flesh. 'Circle Snare' was recorded on his January 2008 Scandinavian tour, a tour I was lucky enough to catch at least a glimpse of, and this disc goes some way to representing the visceral experience of the shows. Taking his trademark Max/MSP concrete experimentation and throwing it up against subtle drones, the album starts quietly, but before long we're dragged kicking and screaming into deftly separated ear-pummelling noise. This isn't quite the kind of amplifier destruction you might expect from Wolf Eyes or their Mid-West set however; there is something more technical and almost more academic about Wiese's knife-like processes. On stumbling out of the Oslo venue where I witnessed this set performed, I remarked that he was the "Autechre of noise" and I'll stand by that comment. John Wiese makes noise that sounds like everything is in a specific place for a specific reason - something rare and beautiful. It might be punk, but this punk can play his instrument better than most. Startlingly good. I hope to hear from you asap. Regards.

BOOKING OFFER:THE BLACK TWIG PICKERS
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 20, 2012 by debloqueDear all,
In partnership with Lee Tusk I’m booking some dates for THE BLACK TWIG
PICKERS.
They are available between 20th and 24th March 2012.
Please read here a review and also click on:
http://soundcloud.com/user9979056/jack-rose-the-black-twig-pickers-sail-away-ladies-i-shall-not-be-moved
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb9OXXtcXek
Appalachian folk maestros and erstwhile bandmates with Jack Rose, The
Black Twig Pickers return with a new album for Thrill Jockey (their first
release for the label), recorded last year in the Virginian town of the
title. As far as Americana goes, these guys are just about as authentic
and on-the-money as it gets, romping through traditional regional songs
(with a couple of originals thrown in) with an all-acoustic instrumental
set-up that supplements a bedrock of banjo, fiddle and guitars with
washboards, bones, fiddlesticks and jaw harp. Possibly the band’s greatest
coup is making their antique material current and vibrant; nothing about
this fifteen-song selection sounds like it belongs to a defunct or expired
artform. Recorded in single takes with no overdubs, Ironto Special is a
joyous listen, performed by terrific musicians who clearly have a
scholarly grasp on their cultural heritage.
I hope to hear from you asap.
Regards.

BOOKING OFFER: SKULLFLOWER
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 19, 2012 by debloqueDear all, I'm arranging some dates for SKULLFLOWER. There are still some dates to fill: 20th April Brussels 21st April Paris 22nd April Lyon or Open for Switzerland or France 23rd April Open (for Switzerland or France) 24th April Lyon or open for Switzerland or France. 25th Geneva. Please find here a biography and some useful links: http://www.myspace.com/skullflowervibes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjzEhtA9PNs Skullflower is still active and making an unholy racket in various corners of the earth, but please note, I am not Skullflower. This is a straight-up fan page. I have never crossed paths with Mr. Bower, or anyone else even remotely connected to Skullflower. I greatly enjoy the music, particularly the older blown-out and dusted rock of releases like "Last Shot At Heaven" and "Infinityland", but that's it. Sorry. For an excellent Skullflower biography, see the semi-official website. Some older releases are still somewhat available - try aQUarius recOrds for a few, and CDBaby for the last remaining copies of the aforementioned and monumental "Last Shot At Heaven". Some more recent material (and a reissue of the speaker-melting tweaked masterpiece "IIIrd Gatekeeper") can be found through Crucial Blast. The most current stuff seems to be mainly limited CD-Rs and specialty label releases. (aQuarius might be able to hook you up.) So enjoy the sounds, and share the overpowering vibes - blissed out yet manic, expansive while still managing to be intensely claustrophobic. Skullflower is that, and so much more. Can you F E E L I T ? I hope to hear from you ASAP. Regards.

BOOKING OFFER: ROLY PORTER
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 18, 2012 by debloqueHi, I'm booking some dates for Roly Porter. Availability: from mid May 2012 onwards. Please read this review and aloso click on this: http://soundcloud.com/subtext-recordings/roly-porter-tleilax http://www.youtube.com/artist/Roly_Porter Superb new album of industrial-strength drone, art-techno, noise and moody synth experimentation from Roly Porter, formerly of Vex'd, returning to his Bristol home of Subtext. Operating in a similar sphere to the last Subtext drop from Emptyset, Porter mines a rich seam of eerie, corrosive greyscale and moreover heavy, righteously dub-wise electronics, with a warped but careful sense of modern classical composition: in short, the perfect soundtrack to wandering the creaking corridors of the Event Horizon. This really is one of the most suffocatingly atmospheric records we've heard all year, with an ice-cold and uncompromising aesthetic, but beautifully paced and compellingly borne out: from the opening 'Atar' on in, with its noir synths, punishing low-end and drones hovering like enemy attack helicopters. At first 'Tleilax' sounds like it could've come off one of Leyland Kirby's Intrigue & Stuff 12"s, before the arrival of machine-gun drum machines and shouted vocal snips - this wouldn't have sounded out of place on the latest Prurient album, but there's also something in its texture and attitude that clearly identifies it as a product of the British post-rave tradition. Navigating beauty and brutality like it ain't no thing, the album takes in reverbed chamber instrumentals like 'Kaitain', bone-crunching, Earth and KTL-indebted doom-fests like 'Rossak' and sub-bass pressure poems likie 'Giedi Prime', with some elegiac, almost Vangelis-like interludes thrown in fod good measure. It's perfectly balanced, and it moves quickly - every blast of scouring power electronics is followed by a melodic, reassuring swell of strings, and it's in these contrasts, expertly handled, that Aftertime's magic lies. Highly recommended for fans of Earth, Raime, Sandwell District, Fennesz, Emptyset, Ben Frost, Tim Hecker, Kangding Ray, The Haxan Cloak and the like. I hope to hear from you very soon. Regards.

BOOKING OFFER: DIATRIBES + DRAGOS TARA
Posted in Uncategorized on janvier 16, 2012 by debloqueDear all,
I’m booking some dates for Diatribes and Dragos Tara. They are both available between 15th and 19th April 2012. Please read here some words about them and also click on those links:
DIATRIBES: diatribes, a strongly libertarian ensemble, began its existence in a Geneva basement in Winter 2004. Adapting the improvised and experimental music languages of today, the duo is highly reactive, dynamic, percussive and/or textured. Initialy a trio, diatribes became a polymorphous formation, accuratly incomplete, extending each time its spectrum with guest musicians, from freejazz to electroacoustic improv, from loud sound wall to intimistic acoustic details, crossing the road of Barry Guy, Keith Rowe, Jason Kahn, Jacques Demierre, Christian Weber, Ernesto Rodriguez, Tomas Korber, Jean Bordé, Mick Beck, etc, travelling through europe to create new entities, with Adbul Moimême in Portugal, Hannah Marshall in England, Rafal Mazur in Poland or HKM+ in Germany.
http://www.insubordinations.net/releasescdr10.html http://www.insubordinations.net/releasescdr03.html
DRAGOS TARA: Composer, double bass player and electronic musician, Dragos Tara spends his time between composition and improvisation. His musical and extra-musical collaborations are motivated by an interest in the game theory, the diversion of social rituals and the extension of instrument and body by technology.
