Klub Plastic/Mint

Dominic Stanton is the real name behind many of dance music’s most mysterious pseudonyms: First there is Sonar Circle, avant garde Drum and Bass outfit signed to the legendary Reinforced Records. Then Domu, his main guise, designed to further the explorations of the syncopated rhythm, remixing and appearing on many labels such as 2000Black, Archive, Ninja Tune, Sonar Kollektiv, Compost, Rush Hour, Especial, Bitasweet, Schtum among others. Umod, the backwards glitchy Hip – Hop kid, all nerdy and introverted, has had one album and a few remixes on Sonar Kollektiv, Jazzanova’s imprint. Then the collaborations: Bakura with Robert Marin on Especial Records Japan, a boogie – Brazilian fusion, culminating with the Reach The Sky, their first LP released 2005. Alongside Archive and Neroli head honcho Volcov, Rima – with an album that dropped on Compost Records in 2003, with much sought after artwork by dutch uber-cool designer Delta. And Finally, Yotoko, the esperimental Techno outfit, formed with web designer and long time friend, Shiftee a.k.a Dave Farlom. The Dutch label Delsin was home to the LP “Wet Ink” from 2004. The follow up to Domu’s 2001 LP “Up and Down” was released in December 2005. “Return of the Rogue” is a step further into the depths of drum, synth and vocal explorations. Remixing is also continuing nicely, with reworks for Small Arms Fire, JD73 and The Rebirth coming soon. New for 2007 is O O O…or Treble O…the new mp3 based label Domu is running up with Shiftee…watch the website for the link to releases from Domu, Yotoko, Nicola Kramer, Soza and the return of Sonar Circle… Also forthcoming on Papa records…Domu Presents Pete Simpson…a mature soul LP with contributions from Mike Patto (Reel People) Imaani (Incognito) Coutney Dennie (Da Lata) and Pete Kuzma (Jill Scott, Bilal). Watch out for this…Look A Little Further…Domu is also a DJ of 15 years experience. His touring has taken him to Japan, Australia, Russia, USA, and most of Europe and Scandinavia, playing on the international circuit since 1998. Among these have been tours with many of his musical heroes and contempories – 4Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Jazzanova, I G Culture, Phil Asher, Rainer Truby, Chateux Flight, Kaidi Tatham, Gilles Peterson, Theo Parrish, Photek, Patrick Forge, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Jazztronik, Dj Sunshine, Raw Fusion (Mad Mats), Nu-Spirit Helsinki, Swell Session, Titonton, John Tejada, A Few Among Others, Ayro, Eddy meets Yannah, Rednose Distrikt – the list goes on.

ÂME (Sonar Kollektiv, Innervisions) @ Plastic

Mutant Soulution
ÂME (Sonar Kollektiv, Innervisions) Berlin Belgrade Yard SS Soulution DJs

If you draw connections between Chicago, Detroit, Berlin and New York City surprisingly the musical epicentre of these turns out to be in Karlsruhe. In the little town in western Germany these city’s influences join forces in the studio of Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer, together forming the duo Âme (speak: Ahm, = French for soul). Their soulful mission to explore far beyond the borders of house music has by now gained attention on a global scale. Delivering constant quality with 12”s and remixes that are rocking house, techno and freestyle floors alike, it appears they have developed a new consensus for modern club music. Some even say they initiated the renaissance of deep house with their productions for Sonar Kollektiv and their label Innervisions which they run together with soul brother Dixon.

7 years ago they first met through Kristian’s record shop “Plattentasche” and various local gigs. Frank, provided with the right musical genes, and Kristian, having a profound knowledge of every shade of music there is, they one day decided to start their own musical mission. Kristian has always been turned on by the voices shouting out of motor city by the likes of Moodymann and Underground Resistance as well as the New York City sound of Blaze and Metro Area´s disco approach, whereas Frank’s broad spectrum of influences ranges from past Jazz and Folk to current Carl Craig and Chateau Flight including an array of house and techno pioneers.

Âme´s sound is easily accessible without ever loosing a distinct deepness, complexity and unique twist. Their inspirations, how diverse they might be, are cleverly quoted but never copied. What started of with a B-Side for Dixon´s Off Limits has since then shot off to become a coherent success story. Their tune “Rej” as the so far most successful release on Sonar Kollektiv did not only top the best of the year charts in German De:Bug and Groove mags but was also called “the Plastic Dreams of the new millennium” by key players Danny Krivit and Louie Vega of Masters At Work. Their latest remixes for Ben Watt´s Buzzin´ Fly imprint or Ibadan´s Jerome Sydenham again prove their diverse approaches beyond Deep House. Âme continues their story with in their distinctive style as well as with their Dj-sets by pushing the boundaries of new sounds, patterns and arrangements.

John Kong (DoRight! Toronto, Canada)

Nikolor (BB, Soulution, Belgrade)
BeatniksINC (Soulution,Belgrade)

John Kong has been actively involved in the music industry for over 10 years. As a successful DJ, Producer, A&R, and Promoter, among other things, he has been praised for his eclectic sounds and versatility, creating a style that juxtaposes rare Brazilian grooves, with Jazzy rhythms, deep Funk, Latin beats, and other classic sounds. In the mid ‘90s, Kong connected with other jazz aficionados to co-found the globally renowned DJ collective MOVEMENT. Still strong after 8 successful years, their monthly parties in Toronto have attracted internationally renowned talents, including Keb Darge, Gilles Peterson, Rainer Trüby, Jazzanova, BITA, Koop, Mad Mats, Theo Parrish, Osunlade, plus other major players in that “eclectic style” field from around the globe. While enjoying the success of the MOVEMENT monthlies, Kong went on to create ‘Do Right’ in 1999, a live music/DJ revue showcasing the best and upcoming in Funk and Soul acts, introducing then new artists: Sharon Jones, Quantic, DJ Mitsu the Beats, Afrodizz, Kokolo, to a wider audience. In 2001, Do Right evolved and expanded its mission to become Do Right Music, Canada's only alternative dance record label, linking the sounds of Funk to Hip Hop, Soul to House, Jazz to Broken Beats, and everything soulful! Do Right’s current roaster includes an impressive list of artists such as Ivana Santilli, Circle Research, Basic Soul Unit, Anonymous Twist, and many more to come this year!

His production credits date back to 2002 with his collaboration with Moonstarr on the track 'Future Vision', which was immediately picked up by Fluid Ounce in the UK. Now considered a classic, ‘Future Vision’ was played and charted by "Future jazz & broken-beats" DJs worldwide, establishing Kong as a vital innovative voice on the international Electronica scene. As a busy A&R man for Do Right Music, Kong still manages to find time to DJ aboard at venue such as Jazz Café London; and to work on remixes for established artists such as FEIST, & Hird under his production alias ‘Do Right Mix”. Most recently, Kong has just finished his first jazz project producing the Elizabeth Shepherd Trio. Their highly anticipated album “Start To Move’ is due out in Fall 2006, already creating a buzz in the Jazz Dance circuit.

A self proclaimed records junkie, Kong is relentlessly searching for new sounds and pushing the music that he loves. From the records he spins to the music he releases, he continues to spread the good vibes from Toronto to the World each and every day.

“Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines” LP released on Mon 25th September 2006 on Ninja Tune / Fluid Ounce

Sub sonic, radar defying, up your ronson basslines and sweatbox, basement Brazilatin dancefloor bangers is attempt to do justice to the rapid reemergence of the production duo Zero dB. If you are looking for big albums of the year then take a slice of “Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines”. In fact, take the whole bastard cake.

For those who need a little history lesson, Chris Vogado and Neil Combstock (a.k.a Zero dB) emerged as a production force in 2000 with their debut release, the monster jazz stomper, “Come Party” – released on their Fluid Ounce imprint, with “Click” and “The Snare” following quick smart. Remixes for the likes of Truby Trio, Peace Orchestra, Suba, Interfearance, Original Soul Boy, John Kong & Moonstarr, Grupo Batuque, ACME recordings, ATFC, Hexstatic, Nicola Conte, and a Sun Ra track they remixed together with Gilles "DJ Hectic" Peterson were all united under one roof with the release of "Reconstruction" in Spring 2003.

In the here and now…The first glimpse into the new material has come courtesy of “A Pomba Girou / Te Quiero” – released June 2006. Simple, chunky and effective – the taste and flavour of Brazil has been reinterpreted for subterranean, 21^st Century block party. “Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines” is not a collection of singles – or tracks that don’t work and sit together uneasily. It’s a piece of dirty brilliance that segues between broken beat, filthy house, electro, hip hop and of coarse… batacuda. Its Rock n Roll with a caprinha!

It all started in 1992 when Muhammed Ali Latif a.k.a ZOOBEE M.C picked up the microphone and started m.cing in the Hardcore/Jungle scene. 2-3 years later turntables were purchased by his brother Inzabaat Ali Latif a.k.a CRISIS LOAN, were ZOOBEE M.C became also Stroke D.J.

After all there hard work in the studio, it all pays off in a BIG way! SOCIAL SECURITY is born which consist of ZOOBEE M.C who no longer kept his d.j name which was Stroke d.j but instead now called himself CHILD SUPPORT, as you probably well know, and his brother called himself CRISIS LOAN and together they are the mighty..............
