Da Fresh (Artist Spotlight #10)

DJ, Producer, Remixer and Live act since 2000...

Traditional course of a young man who grew in the eighties... Born in a small french provincial town, middle class music lovers family, big brother as teacher and dealer of good sounds, Arnaud (his real surname) will quickly combine a passion for the music with an immoderate taste for computers and music machines. Afterwards attempts of rock band quickly fallen through, strong of the traditional high-school pupil influences of the time (The Cure, Anne Clark, Depeche Mode...), the young man will succumb very quickly to the french touch success in the nineties. Fascinated by the "Homework" of Daft Punk or the "Pansoul" of Motorbass, then student in an art school, it's under the name of Da Fresh that he will begin the first tentatives of solo composition. Determined and hard worker, he will produce quickly the titles which will launch him on the international electronic music scene : his first album "Supa Feeling" released in 2002 on the Lyon based label Weaked Records will receive excellent criticisms, the hit "Fuckin Track" will make the remainder... Then he will be divided between a full-time job of DJ, while keeping a real knowledge of producer and remixer. Oriented to originality and effectiveness : he always continues with a lot of tracks (Broken Dream, Spaghetti Groove, Age Of Love, Yesterday, Right On Time, Once Again...) and remixes for great labels (1605, Definitive, Toolroom, Armada, Funk Farm, Hot Fingers, BluFin, Moonbeam Digital...), and create his own label Freshin Records.

Loopers (Artist Spotlight #9)

Loopers is planning out to be the hottest banging House sensation of 2011. Consisting of 19 year-old Oguzhan Cengiz and 18 year-old Khazar Hamidian, the group founded itself in July 2008.

Starting out as solo deejays, Oguzhan and Khazar decided to perform a back-to-back session during one of the gigs in which they were both scheduled. Performing alongside each other resulted in the best move to occur in their careers this far. Their magic collaboration soon became a refreshing, unique new sound in the house scene.

From that day forward, Oguzhan and Khazar only performed back-to-back as the DJ duo "Ozzie Razz & Khazar," playing local parties and events in the south/west parts of Holland. Their magic spread from the turntables to the studio, dropping bombs such as "Summer Thing," "L.E.D.," and remixes for Altura's "Bouncin Jacks". Following their resulting popularity, Oguzhan & Khazar decided to develop their production and DJ duo under the new and profound title, LOOPERS!

Already getting tons of support by the dutch youth and dance communities, Loopers' "Playground" Mixtapes are being played in stores, bars & clubs nationwide.

Their latest club banger "Ghetto 2010" has support from Afrojack, Vato Gonzalez, Kid Kaio, Dyna, Artistic Raw and Sandro Silva among others. Dropping tracks week after week, the Loopers virus is spreading like wildfire in the house scene and Loopers promises to be a DJ duo worth following!

Nicky Romero (Artist Spotlight #8)

Nicky Romero, born on 6 January 1989 grew up in a small city called "Amerongen", lived in Canada (Kingston) for a few years.

Nicky hits the first snare drum at the age of 6 and started playing drums in a fanfare. After playing a year or three, he'd been asked to play in a huge group who had acts on street and big events. That was fun though, but not enough for small Nicky. At the age of 12 he got is first set of Drums, and started practising, practising and practising. Well, after 3 years playing drums everyday and night , it was enough and he changed the drums for turntables.

School never had his interest, so after graduating he started producing music. And after hours, hours and hours of practising (throw lots of computers out of the window) he got his first label called "Once Records", who's going to release the tracks: Privilege & QWERTY.

After that deal, the next track came up called "Funktion One". From that moment everything went very fast. Dutch famous DJ/Producer Madskillz got interested in "Funktion One" from that on Nicky signed Funktion at Azucar (from Madskillz & Gregor Salto). Later they added "Hear My Sound" to their label two!

These day's allmost every high rated DJ has a few Romero records in his bag, which remixes for Ian Carey, Dirty South, David Vendetta, Sidney Samson this DJ has left his mark in the house scene. He just finished his new track "Nicky Romero - My Friend" which reaches 4 at Beatport Overal Chart and 1 at Beatport Progressive Chart. Supported by Tiesto, Axwell, SHM, Mark Knight, Funkagenda, Fedde le Grand & more! This track definitely conqueres WMC 2010. To be continued…

Dub Moment #1

Um... Wow... So I'm actually kinda having a "Dub Moment" Me personally, i'm not a big fan of dubstep! There's good dubstep and bad dubstep! Alot of the dj's out here play bad dubstep which is probably why it hasn't won me over just yet :P

Anyways, with that being said... I'm having my dub moment and i'm gonna be nice and put a couple mixes which I find sick as fuck!
