Keyser & Shuriken - Newsletter #8
(Brought to you weekly with the kind support of Jah, the almighty and the evil Gorilla.)
Newsflash 02.03.2000
Dear friends,
This week was full of positive surprises. First of all Tilos Radio - the station where we dj at - got an offer to organize regular parties at a new middle size venue (1100-1300 people) and we have been given a chance by the Radio to make our own parties there sometimes. The organizing (inviting foreign guest djs and bands) of the events will have to be done by us, but the Radio backs us with full financial support. It means that we will be able to invite our favourite selectas and acts finally.
The Radio also organizes bigger events. Next weekend Jürgen von Knoblauch of the Jazzanova will play at such a party. We - with fellow dj Lee N Gum - will have the pleasure to play before him.
"What is music if it is not a stepping stone? A bridge for the player and the played to Jazz is just one of those bridges. It has no especially divine role, and if players can experiment and find new ways in which they can meet more people, and make them happier, then music will be fulfilling its role much more than if the player is keeping himself restricted." - Melvin Wah Wah Watson. Spotted in A Centrury of Jazz
And indeed, we too have traveled and made some new friends by playing our favourite Long Players and singles. This tuesday we played at a party in Pecs a friendly town in the South of Hungary. Before we could go on stage some local music and studio fanatics - Casio Samples and Cop! - asked us if we could listen together to our Kispal es a Borz remixes (they have also made one, and it was so good it hurt) in their car. While listening and head-nodding to their remix we were abducted by these nice gentleman. They drove us to their incredible studio - they are hooked on the analog sound, so there were about 12 ancient analog synths that they have bought for unbelievably low prices in the villages of their region. And showed us around. We were amazed by these guys: we had been looking for such real sound experts in Hungary but until then we haven't found guys who knew this much about engineering: they spoke in freqs and dBs and seemed to function as living Acid help desks. We have now decided to build heavily on their skills and studio capabilities, so the SOUND part of our future tracks is probably gonna be cooked by these talented chemists. Whatch out for their own works that might get international distribution soon (we are not allowed to gossip, but they got good response to their 6 track demo by a respected company)! We plan a trip back to Pecs as soon as possible to hang out more with these cool guys and talk future cooperation, remixes and stuff.
After this 50 minutes long trip we finally got back to a slightly nervous DJ Bodoo (check him out in this weekends Tilos mix as guest dj) who had no idea of where where we had vanished. The party was more than alright, especially if we compare it to the one that was held two years ago in the same venue, when Shuriken had a hard time because only a few people understood what electronic dance music was about. By now those few have became locally well known djs and producers who have taught their people to dance to electronic beats. And for that we owe a lot to them.
Keep on meeting new people till next week!
