On Monday the 21st of August the official launch of the webradiostation DJBroadcast.fm has taken place. DJBroadcast.fm is a joint venture between DJBroadcast and around fifty organisations, labels, DJ’s and producers and has come to life to broadcast non mainstream dance music; ranging from techno to soundscapes, from dub to minimal and coming to you as separate tracks or in DJ sets. The first shows are being broadcasted, while another twenty shows will be added to the schedule shortly.

Every day the programming starts at 07.00 AM with the K-Swiss Konnected Show. DJ Edo Salgado provides you with a morning sound track to get things started: a mixture of dub, singer/songwriter, deep house and future folk and everything that evolves around it, building towards a more upbeat afternoon.

The afternoon shows will be put together by a range of internationally acclaimed artists and labels and some Dutch talent as well. The New Yorker and DFA member Tim Sweeney brings his weekly Beats in Space show and fresh tunes and sets from Germany will be brought to you by the people behind Pokerflat, Moonharbour, Word and Sound, Dessous and !K7 for these labels all have their own show on DJBroadcast.fm. Off course we also rely on some Dutch people for some decent beats and sounds. Bossa Boogie , Love2party, Delsin, Bart Thimbles, Muzikism, Nuno Dos Santos, Wicked Jazz Sounds, Sound Architecture, Cinema Royal, Rotterdam Electronic Music Festival, Tempo Sessions, Rush Hour, Melon and Michel de Hey will show the world just what we have in store in our country of wooden shoes, cheese and XTC.

DJBroadcast.fm signifies a new step for DJBroadcast to becoming a wide platform for dance music. DJBroadcast.nl is a daily updated website on electronic music and night life. The bi-monthly DJBroadcast Magazine is available for free at 500 spots across the Netherlands. Furthermore DJBroadcast provides a weekly TV-show on the NFTV narrowcasting network.

DJBroadcast is part of Blueprint Media BV and has a variety of unique partnerships with companies as Sp!ts, MTV, 3voor12, K-Swiss, Free Record Shop, Bacardi, Beatport and Red Bull.

Gainsbourg ???

Oui, Charlotte Gainsbourg is the daughter of Serge and even more interesting … Jane Birkin.
Maybe you youngsters do not know, but your hippieparents do !

Serge and Jane performed the legendaric “Je t’aime… moi non plus” record in 1969.
Jane (http://www.janebirkin.net/) times Serge (http://www.gainsbourg.org/) times that record makes CHARLOTTE. It is 69*69 …

Charlotte released a supercd with guests like Air (tsss…), Jarvis Cocker (Oasis) and Tony Allen (Kuti’s drummer !). Must have been magical moments.
But overall the songs are dripping erotic drops like there is a big waterleak !
Sex (sorry …) all over the place !
Piano … whispering voices … “Air”-ish strings … sparklin’… sound effects … the sexy French-English-accent … you can feel it is made with passion. Sounds like a movie yet to be made.

Just essential release this year.

UNDERWORLD … STILL GOING STRONG !

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

As we speak of electronics, techno and “trance” the name UNDERWORLD should not be forgotten. After all those heavy house years they still manage to bring new and amazing stuff.
And they use the benefits of the internet ! Offering free liveperformances, cheap internet downloads the boys keep on seeking the borderline.

After 3 internet exclusive releases (”Lovely Broken Thing”, “Pizza for Eggs” and “I’m A Big Sister, And I’m A Girl, And I’m A Princess And This Is My Horse” - 5 stars only for the titles :-)) with an extra free bonusmix, new vinyl is coming up.

More groundbreaking is the upcoming soundtrack in collaboration with GABRIEL YARED - Breaking And Entering (OST). Breaking and Entering is the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella. The accomplished filmmaker reunites with Jude Law – after The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain – and Juliette Binoche – who won an Academy Award for her work in Minghella’s The English Patient – to forge this intimate, questioning story about contemporary life.
Underworld and Yared managed to compose a deep atmospheric soundtrack.. No 4 to the floor-tracks here, but influences are all over the place … more info soon

Ministry of Sound at NYC?

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Ministry of SoundIt seems had to believe, but the mighty globe-spanning, all-conquering, world dominating dance music behemoth that is Minstry Of Sound has never before put on a night in New York City. But tis true. Till now (or till next week, anyway), when they launch their new monthly NY residency The Naughty Sessions.

July 15 is the date, Galapagos Arts Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the place and $20 is the rate on the gate. Your providers of musical merriment, robotic rhythms and sonic sensuality will be Classic’s Diz (of Iz &… fame) and Ms Honey Dijon. Taking care of deck duties in room 2, meanwhile, will be Greenskeepers’ J Dub and Jafar of London’s Kwaito/Rare Unit crew.

So if you’re lucky enough to be in NYC next weekend, get on down to Williamsburg and get Naughty!

New Club For Ibiza: Love

Friday, July 7th, 2006

This summer heralds the launch of yet another new clubbing venture in Ibiza, Love in Playa d’en Bossa. Taking over the entire Somny and Kiss complex, the Love Club hopes to appeal to a new generation of clubbers in Ibiza by promoting themselves as the first British superclub on the island.

Run by DJ/producer Otiz F. Angel and pal Jason McCarthy, the Love Organisation - which claims to be the fastest growing club brand in Europe - started life as an after-hours venue in Shoreditch for people like Puscha, following a short stint promoting parties at El Divino.

The police eventually shut down Love due to new licensing laws, so they sold their lease on the building and moved to a new venue - in Hamburg.

Trance Awards 2006 Results!

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Armin van Buuren has won five prizes at the prestigious Trance Awards, eclipsing the pre-ceremony favourites Paul van Dyk, and Tiësto. The Dutch DJ’s list of accolades included ‘Best DJ’, ‘Best Compilation’, and ‘Best Resident’, which suggests he may be a strong contender to win this year’s DJmag Top 100 DJs poll.

In 2005, Paul van Dyk won ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ at the Trance Awards, and a few months later was crowned the world’s number one DJ after winning the Top 100 poll a few months later.

The niche Trance Awards have so far proven to be a good indication of how the big trance DJs will fare in the all-important Top 100.

Paul van Dyk did however not go home empty handed – his Vandit label was named label of the year, and the German superstar won ‘Best Producer’ again.
