NEW GUEST DJ MIX! - DJ JAMBAZ

2012-04-26T13:52:36Z

'FALL ON ME' MIX BY GENEVA'S DJ JAMBAZ

WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING GENEVA'S DJ JAMBAZ'S MIXES FOR SOME TIME VIA A FRIEND, AND REALLY ENJOY WHAT HE IS DOING. RECENTLY WE DECIDED THAT WE'D SHARE THESE AWESOME MUSICAL PICKS WITH YOU IN THE FORM OF A MONTHLY GUEST MIX SERIES.

JAMBAZ'S DJING STYLE AND MUSICAL CHOICES, ARE AS ECLECTIC AND VARIED AS THE BLOGGERTRONIX SITE IT'S SELF SO ENJOY!

BUT FIRST A LITTLE Q&A WITH THE MAN HIMSELF -

BLOGGERTRONIX: How long have you been collecting music?

DJ JAMBAZ: I've been dj'ing since I was about 16. When I was in high school, I had a show at university radio station in the town where I grew up, CFRU in Guelph, Ontario, Canada! I've been collecting music, going to shows, traveling the world ever since.

B: Where did your DJ name come from?

J: DJ name comes from a small village near where I now live in the mountains in Haute-Savoie, Switzerland.

B: Do you ever have themes in mind for your mixes or do you just play what feels best sans constraints?

J: These days I tend to make a mix per season, and the environment is reflected in the music (this one was from fall), along with new music that I have found, not necessarily new, but new to me. I love cover songs, but that isn't really reflected in this mix. I also love live tunes, and that comes out a bit in this mix.

B: Where can people find out more about your mixes?

J: Not sure where to point people to for the moment...I'm currently working on a platform to release my work called 'radioverte', it isn't ready yet though, so for the moment I think bloggertronix is my only outlet!

B: YEEHAW!!

FACEBOOK-MOCK

IN THE PAST I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT BERLIN BASED EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC ARTIST pOnk, WHO ALSO HAS A NIFTY PROG-ROCK (FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD!) BAND, BASED IN BERLIN CALLED 'mOck'. I MANAGED TO SEE THEM LAST YEAR AT A CLUB IN BERLIN, BUT THE SECURITY NABBED MY CAMERA SO I COULDN'T TAKE ANY VIDEO...BOO-HISS!

THE BAND KICKED ROYAL ARSE DURING THE SHOW & I BECAME HOOKED ON THEIR HYBRED FORM OF EXPERIMENTAL MATHROCKY, PROG-ROCKY GOODNESS. AS A RESULT I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT EARLY LAST MONTH THEY RELEASED THEIR FIRST ALBUM VIA 'I LOVE TO HATE RECORDS'.

AN HOUR FROM NOW

I HAVE BEEN ON A BIT OF A NOSTALGIA TRIP OF LATE, MISSING THE MUSIC OF YORE... REAL TUNES, PLAYED WITH REAL INSTRUMENTS FOR A CHANGE...LISTENING TO OLD FUGAZI, SONIC YOUTH, TORTOISE AND WOODEN STARS (YES, I USED THOSE BANDS IN THE SAME SENTENCE!), AND THIS BAND FIT THE TICKET. EMBODYING THE SPIRT OF WHAT INTERESTED ME A WHILE BACK...NICE ONE LADS!

ACTUALLY, THE 16 TRACK RECORD WAS MIXED BY JOHN McENTIRE THE DRUMMER FOR TORTOISE, WHO RUNS THE SOMA STUDIOS IN CHICAGO. IT IS A MUSICALLY PLAYFUL RELEASE, THAT IS HOME TO SOME DARK LYRICS. DEFINITELY AN ALBUM TO CHECK OUT!

PRONK ALT-ROCK BAND INSPIRED TO RECORD ONCE AGAIN

FACEBOOK - WEEPIKES

www.soundcloud.com/weepikes

www.twitter.com/Weepikes

THE WEEPIKES CAME TOGETHER AS A BAND IN 1994 AND OVER THREE YEARS PUT OUT A HANDFUL OF RELEASES, ON FINNISH INDIE LABELS SUCH AS BAD VUGUM & TRASH CAN RECORDS. THEIR MUSIC IS THE TYPE OF NOISE ROCK THAT MAKES YOU ALL NOSTALGIC FOR THE EARLY 90'S, REMINDING YOU OF OTHER BANDS SUCH AS THE PIXIES (CHECK THE 'WHAT ABOUT' TRACK BELOW!)

THE BAND LIKES TO THINK OF THEIR SOUND AS A MELANGE OF PUNK AND PROG-ROCK...BUT YOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND...DOWNLOAD THEIR TUNES FOR FREE, LISTEN AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

IN 2010 THE BAND DECIDED TO GET BACK TOGETHER, THE LINE-UP REMAINED THE SAME, APART FROM THE DRUMMER. THEY WERE SOON CONTACTED VIA MYSPACE BY NYC BASED PRODUCER, ENGINEER AND LABEL OWNER (SHIMMY-DISC), KRAMER, WHO IS KNOWN FOR HIS PAST WORK WITH WEEN, JOY ZIPPER, URGE OVERKILL AND MANY MORE. KRAMER LOVED THEIR SOUND AND OFFERED TO MIX AND MASTER A COUPLE OF SONGS FOR THEIR NEW PROMO DISC...THE RESULT IS PRETTY GREAT INDEED.

THE BAND HAS YET TO BE SIGNED...STAY TUNED THOUGH, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE LONG BEFORE THEY ARE....THIS STUFF IS BRILLIANT!

"I really feel the most exciting things happen in the night, you can do anything, and be anything. Living in the city, when there’s a clear night and you can see stars it’s really inspiring. It puts me in this place that the world is so big, you’re so small, you really get a desire to make your mark.” ~Vanessa Fischer, 2012
