"At the age of three I moved to Germany. There was a military coup [General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratic government of Salvador Allende in 1973] and we had to go, it was a forced situation. My mother is German so that was an easy decision. I found Germany to be very nice. For sure it was complicated, and I had problems with the culture and the language at first, but after a while I found out how to behave in Germany, how to fix those problems, and then it was really cool. My whole family is extremely musical. My Uncle, my Grandma, my step-Mother... it is called a family parra; a traditional, musical family. Also around me was a collection of scientists, mathematicians; my Father and Grandpa. It was a complete division between mathematics and music. Now, I hear some people saying that music is like 'the mathematics of feelings'. I believe there is something like a brotherhood between music and mathematics."

MUSICAL ROOTS

"When I was ten or eleven I started to play conga and bongos. Music was something I loved but I never thought that I could be a musician. I started in the late eighties making electronic music, and DJing too. When I was twelve I became the biggest Depeche Mode fan. I was everywhere that they were in Europe, travelling with them. My interest in electronic music came from Depeche Mode, for sure. For me they were like the Beatles of the eighties, with electronic instruments. It was one of the bands responsible for making electronic music popular. In '81 and '82 they had lots of four-to-the-floor stuff, ten or eleven minute mixes of tracks, and they were the first to do it. Daniel Miller was doing techno in the early eighties too, and he, of course, signed Depeche Mode to his Mute label. You can mix those records with techno tracks. In the beginning people complained about Depeche Mode. They said, 'They don't play the music how it sounds on record.' But after a while people understood it, and Depeche Mode need to be credited with helping this music find popularity. For me personally, I'd also credit Baby Ford, Thomas Melchior, Daniel Bell, Andrew Weatherall for sure, and Richie - the whole Plastikman and Fuse stuff at the beginning, especially; the Plastikman records were just crazy in the early nineties - as being my biggest influences, alongside some house artists, in particular Derrick Carter. Brazilian music is the biggest influence I have. Brazilians were listening to techno two or three hundred years before anyone else. If you compare the samba groove to the techno groove it has a really, really similar idea behind it. I think South American music is important because of the rhythm, but also the melody. It relates to the living, the reality that people have in South America. You have many things to be sad about, but the general outlook is one of happiness. It's a very special mixture and mentality. The people are making these melodies that exist exactly between sadness and happiness, and also the rhythm thing creates happiness. People use music to forget their problems. I was listening to this music with my parents at home the whole time, and the influence is very, very pronounced. Brazilian music; Salsa; Cuban music; the music of the Andes - Chile, Peru, Bolivia - all these things; Tango for sure; Argentinean Astor Piazzolla; all of it. These melodies are full of passion, happy and sad at the same time, it leaves something very strong in your mind."

FIRST PROJECTS

"In the beginning it's like a hobby. DJing paid something between one hundred and five hundred Euros. You couldn't live out of it. I was studying at University and doing parties and stuff, but more or less doing this as something I just enjoyed. Then we started a little label in '93 called Placid Flavour... it didn't go very well, so, we started again. I met the Playhouse people in '93 and made my first record for them in '94. In '95 and '96 I started to be more serious, also with DJing. Since '98 this has definitely been a career. I've only done this to earn money. I need to live, and I need to work hard. It's quite late: some people get known at 22 and 23 for being DJs. This didn't happen to our generation; our generation took a lot longer and it wasn't that easy to get musical information and good records. Now you have high standards of production and a lot of people to learn from. You get your information in big packages, you get told a lot at once. Friends tell you now, whereas [people from] our generation were on their own. Maybe a few people had listened to Dance Mania or Trax records and things like that but now everybody says 'Detroit is one of my biggest influences, even if you're 23 years old. You can get the information to work it all out. It took me ten years from getting my first money, to realise that I'd be able to live from doing this, that it's the centre of my life, the reason I stay living. If things grow slowly, and you stay where you have always been much longer, you don't fall as fast. Everyone is talking like this now, all the good artists, it's like a rule. It's the much better way."

LABELS AND PRODUCTION

"I have a few main labels: Perlon, Playhouse, and a couple owned by friends like Luciano. Perlon and Playhouse are enough: I have so much to do, I have to DJ and produce like hell. It is impossible for me to start a label for example. It's also not necessary. The world of labels will shrink a little bit. The reality is that labels are disappearing, distribution is disappearing, vinyl is getting harder and harder to live with. It's important to give all my energy to Perlon and Playhouse and not somewhere else, I won't go and make an album for another label."

DJING

"I have always DJed the same way. I don't jump around, and make a big show, and scream or whatever. Things like that are not my style. You have to be very concentrated, but also you have to be in the mood of the people, that is very important. Being relaxed is good, and it means you can play a little more abstract stuff in-between the stuff that people are more likely to be expecting. Everyone has a style and mine has always been like this."

FABRIC

"For me it's incredible to be able to play at Fabric so often. It's the best sounding club in the world. The atmosphere is really nice, the concept is really nice, that there are three floors, each a completely different world. You enter each room and it is like it is swallowing you, it's something that doesn't happen in big rooms very often. If I am asked to play in a club where two thousand people attend in one night I normally say 'No, no way, too much'. The first time I came to Fabric I was completely surprised at how separate and how isolated each of the worlds are. You can decide on where to go depending on how you feel, and the line ups are good and different. It's a music lover's concept, and the people that do fabric are music lovers. And it has a lot of support from the underground: that isn't very common for a big club at all."

THE FUTURE

"It's important to make the club thing happen in Berlin, to develop our scene, and there are so many incredible musicians here in Berlin that it will start to happen. We will all begin to work together, in different and strange mixtures. People that don't know one another will begin to work together. We are all going to the same parties, listening to the same music, dancing to the same music; all these people will work together and it will be really fertile and interesting. Richie is here; Thomas Melchior; Baby Ford is here every three weeks; Luciano is coming. It's a worldwide net of close friends that are heading for the same thing. Berlin is where everyone meets. It's a big city, not a small one, it's the only big city that we Germans have. It's really, really nice and it's cheap to get a flat. I want to be here more and not travel so much, I really want to be here."

Matthew dear interview..

very nice...

yummmyyy,,, replynya lagi di coffeeshop ni silent rave..yummyyy

kalo menurut gw quality djnya juga penting.. kalo cuman dulu2an masang antemn itu udah ngga fun lagi,, ada bedanya juga paman gober kalo mau ngeliat dj luar.. ambil contoh ame,, orang2 tau ame kan gak sebagai dj aja,, tapi orang2 juga tau dia pencipta lagu rej, jadi orang pengen ngeliat gimana nih si pencipta lagu rej nge dj nya or pengen denger2 lagu2 yg ame seleksi.. beda lagi kalo ke club ada partynya eo a misalnya.. lo udah tau dj2nya,, dan juga lagu2nya,,
kalo diluar sendiri kompetisinya juga berat yg gw liat,, kalo lo cuman dj doang yah agak susah,, paling cuman bisa maen di party2 sendiri ato party temen,, soalnya belom produce track.. ada lagi temen gw yg udah produce track tapi dia gak jago maen dj,, sekarang dia mayan full booking keluar2,, (if u can see the difference)..

sekedar opini aja loh,..

gokill ada dodol ganja,,, and  kopi juga .. baru tau gw.. trakhir nyoba bikin omlet,, rasanya aneh banget,, pff

wah kalo sampe di legalin berubah lagi dong istilah orang indonesia,. dari jam karet jadi jam batu.. imho.. gak mesti legal juga,, asal gak terlalu bermasalah aja kalo ketangkep polisi,, dibawah 4 gram gpp gitu.,,
tapi kalo sampe legal gak enak juga bakal ngeliat orang2 ngebaks dimana2,, di bus, halte dll. kan gak setiap saat juga lo mau giting or smell bau cimeng apa lagi siang2.
btw, masukin papir yg bagus dong.. bt nih marshbrand ...

maaf ya di kalo beda pendapat,, i got ur point.. soalnya gw ngeliat dj's more rock star skarang,, fuck up the genre,,

selipin minimalnya dari genre apa sebelumnya? kalo dari trance berat juga . lagi pula jangan di campur2 lagi.. mendingan mainin apa yg mesti dimainin disitu,, gak ngerti gw kadang2 orang2 suka selip2in minimal, tapi expectnya biar pecah2.. pff, come on,, coba di balik, dj minimal nyelipin trance,, pff.. nyelipin house aja ogah,, apa lagi progressive , trance dll. apa lagi dj2 yg maen dari rnb sampe trance gitu. gw gak ngerti deh,, maksudnya apaan .. pff.. come on get a live DJ's.

coba2 juga di youtube

 the spiller, Mr Oizo, the klaxsons, headman, Sebastian,,, ed banger crews....

cobain troy pierce a.k.a louderbach

underl_ne label sob.,,!! keren banget2 emang.. check out the latest releasesnya yg dari Kenneth James - removing me.  suka banget nih

haha..sebenernya fungsi alat ini cuman buat looping aja!!.. karena gak semua dj mau maen bawa komputer lengkap dll(ableton). dan sebagian lagi yg bener2 anti cdj.. btw, itu cuman looping aja kok,, nothing sample2an... sebagian yg udah make ini sih permainan djnya jauh lebih bermutu,, karena maennya di loop bukan di effects system.. bpm counter automatic dari plug headphone.. menurut gw sih ini kinda revolution for dj's yg prefer pake vinyl.

The PVDJ Grabber revolutionizes sampling technology by allowing one-button-push looping with automatic BPM detection and beat position detection. While most samplers require start- and end-point editing, the Grabber automatically creates a perfect loop using its built-in BPM counter, and automatically syncs the loop to your main mix tempo. The Grabber features separate buttons for 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16-beat loops. This very affordable module also includes several features for creative mixing, including a jog wheel for phasing effects and other fine adjustments and a selector switch that enables reverse play.

The Grabber is also easy to install and connect to your existing DJ rig. The module comes with all the hardware needed to mount into your rack, and the cables needed to connect it to your mixer. You can hook up the Grabber by running a cable out of your mixer's headphone jack into the Grabber's input, then from its output to the appropriate mixer channel; or by running a cable from the mixer's record output into the Grabber's input, then from its output to a mixer channel.

Karena gw pertama kali mendengarkan broken beat pada waktu new yrs eve 2004.. dj breaks pertama yg gw saksikan adalah lee coombs. dan gw langsung jatuh cinta pada pendengaran pertama...

di samping itu breaks emang di tujukan buat orang yg mau melangkah ke tahap selanjutnya, maksud gw orang2 yg ingin gila tapi tetep fun. bayangin aja gw cuma pernah ngeliat orang  cacat pake kursi roda  muter2 dengan skills yg sama kalo kita naik sepeda ngangkat ban depan di acara rave, heheh gila bro cuma ada di breaks arena.....

dan dance orang normalnya juga sedikit lebih berirama.. kaya.... breakers yg muter2 di lantai tapi versi kalemnya... hehe.

sepertinya gw tau ni siapa... hehehe...
gw juga disitu tuh pas rave yg ada orang di kursi rodanya.,.. haehehe.. Japrut !!!!!
sempet juga suka break beat,,, hehe gara2 ni orang..
