Influences - Ian Pooley

Back in the days Ian Pooley had a major effect on me and my perception of music. Although, it wasn't his production that made that effect as much as his live sets. I played only one of his tracks "Loopduelle" as it was kind of different than the others. Suited me perfectly. He also had couple of remixes that are worth mentioning, such as remix for Daft Punk's track Burning. But his Essential Mix at the beginning of '98 was probably the most played mix in my life. For me that was, and still is a true House music. A perfect blend (not that perfectly mixed :) of tracks I can't even find today. Only way to listen to them is to listen Ian Pooley's Essential Mix .......

Butyreux

He's a part of the Trash - Dance Crew from Italy. The one that stands out from the talented young crowd. His next scheduled gig is with Boys Noize and Djedjotronic. Tomorrow @ Baita al Lago. Beat that :)

When I listen to his track "Tesla", I can easily compare that tune with kind of a production Surkin is making. Check out his tunes and remixes on his myspace page. Also there is a minimix on Trash - Dance webpage called "A Pork Show". I am posting his two latest remixes :

Armand Van Helden -Might Like You Bonkers (Butyreux live edit)



Crystal Castles - Untrust Us (Butyreux remix)

Shortpants Romance

 Recognize the guy that did the "stage dive" on my trashcotheque youtube video?

That is how these 2 short pants and party lovers roll. Dejan is a graphical design student in Novi Sad, and Boris is a member of All The Arms We Need and Butcher hard core -metal bands. What kind of music can you expect from them? HEAVY , that's the word. 

Recently they had a mini Croatian tour thanks to Sicko Disco crew. They performed in Zagreb  @ Cab Club and in Rijeka @ Filter Bar.

Shortpants Romance may be newcomers, but they own the dance floor. Their latest mixtape is a must have car listening mix while going out. 

You can also check their blog for some recent activities.

Question: What kind of a person will leave their headliners to wonder around town early in the morning and with no other options for them but to sleep at the beach?

Party Report - Trashcotheque, Belgrade 12.3.2009

Last Minute Booking. You never know when will it hit you :) and there is something about it that adds to excitement.

Trashcotheque is the name for parties that are held once a week in a club called Energija, Belgrade. Small club that manages to get people in on Thursday. This is thanks to Toby, guy from London now living in Serbia, and couple of Belgrade finest enthusiasts I presented in previous posts. Although it was my first time in Belgrade, I felt like home. People there are in one word, unique (love them all).

The headliners were supposed to be two guys from Hungary, Kunk. They cancelled at last minute, and that is where I come to this story. That night people didn't get what was annonounced but I believe they had fun.

Expecting mix from Toby ....... (will post it later)
