His mother was fan of Mozart, his father, a Jazz and Opera expert - that’s where he could listen to Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday for the very first time - and his stepfather a musician devoted to J. S. Bach and Haydn’s oeuvres. His ears were always eager to find new sounds. The first of them couldn’t be other than the experimentalist György Ligeti, who turned to be one of his primal avant-garde influences, since he was lucky enough to see Stanley Kubrik’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” on the very early eighties, with some of Ligeti’s masterpieces on the soundtrack – “Requiem For Soprano”, “Lux Aeterna” and “Atmospheres”. The minimal composer Philip Glass was another big reference, thanks to his mother, who would listen to his pieces recorded on tape during his way to school. One day he discovered the streets and the radio. That’s where Funk, R&B, Soul and mostly Electro-Funk ruled back in 1983-1984, during the Break Dance Era. His favorite artists of the genre were Arthur Baker, Break Machine, Chaka Khan, George Clinton, Hot Streak, Jellybean Benitez, Malcolm McLaren, Ollie And Jerry, Quincy Jones, Trevor Horn, ZAPP, among others. At the same time, the charming & soulful music from Barry White, Earth, Wind & Fire, Floaters, The, James Brown, Jocelyn Brown, Kool & The Gang, Marvin Gaye, Rick James, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder infested the radios, influencing a whole generation. At the end of the eighties, new influences of bands like Depeche Mode and New Order, as well as all the Acid House, New Beat and EBM scenes caught him almost instantaneously. Something seemed to be missing though - a more soulful and sophisticated perspective, with electronic / futuristic approach. In 1989, his greatest friend Sylvain 'Acidman' Justum (the 'Gazza'), brought him the first album of Inner City, and nothing would be the same again. The rising of Detroit Techno & House would set change his life forever, as well as his old love for Breakbeats. Since the very beginning of the nineties, the post Acid House scene made him start to look for the clubs, just like his companion Sylvain 'Gazza' Justum (A.K.A. Acidman): at U.S. Beef Rock, they met the young DJ Ricardo 'Mazinho' Almeida, and later the Frenchman Cedric Huet through a friend. His main ‘electronic’ influences are 4 Hero, 808 State, Alex Reece, Altern 8, Bam Bam, Cabaret Voltaire, Carl Craig, Chez Damier, Claro Intelecto, Clock DVA, Coldcut, Derrick May, Eddie Flashin’ Fowlkes, Eric B & Rakim, Fingers Inc., Future Sound Of London, The, Grandmaster Flash, Juan Atkins, Kraftwerk, Kenny Larkin, Kevin Saunderson, Kirk Degiorgio, Klinik, Larry Levan, LFO, Liaisons Dangereuses, LTJ Bukem, Mantronix, Marshall Jefferson, Masters At Work, Maurizio, Nightmares On Wax, Open House & Placid Angles, Orbital, Public Enemy, Rebel MC, Stacey Pullen, Stasis, Wax Doctor and Whodini. After several years, his passion for music became his daily work. He collaborated for several electronic music sites such as www.rraurl.com, www.technopride.net, www.energybr.com.br, and was invited as a member of the Editorial Council of Beatz Magazine in 2004, one of the most important specialized magazines of Latin America, then directed to the official website management during the same year. www.beatz.com.br. In 2005, he left Beatz to work with a DJ & Production School and Technology Center DJ Ban for some few months, so that he could use all of his knowledge and skills in the international electronic music scene to offer specialized and personal support to the DJs, producers and supporters in general. From 2005 to 2007, he integrated the SmartBiz For DJs team as an agent and responsible for the news and partnership between SmartBiz and DJ Sound. Since 2002, he and some friends (DarkAge, DJ Robson, André Bacon & Dragonheart included) created the Aesthetic Nation Crew, and underground collective to support a music essentially conceived as ART.

Derrick May - Innovator - 25-Jun-09 05:40 PM
Fantastic early release of Derrick Mays Innovator album full of gems such as "Wiggin" (Juan Atkins Remix), one that really worths to mention, for Juans remix goes on a ethereal, Soulful mood based on hypnotic dubby pianos & basslines, as well as neurotic hi-hats which makes it by far the greatest vesion of Wiggin (with the hot Sinister Mix).
The other treasures to keep (both eyes) on are Ken Ishiis version of "The Beginning", an exclusive of this album; the outstanding aesthetic "Strings Of The Strings Of Life" which appears complete on both LP & CD releases (even if it also came out on Ken Ishiis Mix Up Vol 3 CD, that one is mixed); "Another Relic (From The Relics)", a beautiful variation and sequence to the original Interval V by Derrick May & Carl Craig (1992) and "Some More Spaced Out" which also brings pretty much the same perspective from the Intervals released on Buzz (1992).

Mayday - Sinister / Wiggin - 25-Jun-09 05:20 PM
Very rare to find colored early pressing of Wiggin, Freestyle & Sinister classics by Derrick May. Kevin Saundersons very danceable version of Wiggin (so called Reese Mix), added to the fact that its the first time Freestyle came out make this a very unique gem in the history of Techno and underground electronic music. All these tracks came out years later on other releases, but there will never be one as valuable as this one for those in question. Although Ive never heard of colored pirate represses, watch out for pirate pressings of Pheerce Citi - always check the runout grooves).

Various - Welcome To The Club - 09-May-09 01:57 AM
B-Cause brings Marshall Jefferson and Jonathan Mann at the peak of their power. Amazing overlapped synth lines, from beautiful atmospheres to arpeggiated bass lines and peripheric soundscapes, surrounded by nice percussion and most of all those unmistakable piano melodies, in perfect harmony with the bass and synth pad variations.
If you are caught listening this for the first time, the more probable reaction will be you asking yourself Where the hell was I when this tune was released, back in 1987.
Timeless tune, one of the most amazing pieces of House Music ever.

Ripple - I Don't Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky / Dance Lady Dance - 01-Jan-09 08:53 PM
Heavy Funk standard from Ripple that became a main influence to artists such as Kid NPlay, Mary J. Blige, Special Ed, X-Clan, La Bouche, among others. Make no mistake, this seven inch is a Top-Of-The-Notch kind of record, if you have the chance to find it dont miss this precious piece of music history.
I Dont Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky ended up on important compilations such as 70s Funk n Soul, Stone Cold Funk, Funk Soul Brothers, Jazzie B Presents Soul II Soul At The Africa Centre, The Original Rare Groove Selection, just to mention some.

Kid Baltan - Electronic Music - 27-Aug-08 04:00 PM
More than a decade before Kraftwerk, Dick Raaijmakers, also known as Kid Baltan (a pseudonym created by the spelling of his name Dick and Natlab - his working place - backwards) was, together with Tom Dissevelt, behind the early contemporary Electronic Music compositions.

Between 1957 and 1958, the duo composed through the use of primitive synthesizers timeless masterpieces, Song Of The Second Moon and Sonik Re-Entry being the most notorious of them.
Even before the landing of men into the Moon or any Space travels, majestic Song Of The Second Moon captured the essence of the space mood and Science Fiction esthetic. Song Of The Second Moon was the blueprint for a future sound, later recognized as Electronic Music.

On the cover of the seven inch single first pressing on Philips, you could read Electronic Popular Music, and there was an astonishing text about the new possibilities of expression concerning the Electronic Music and the independance between the spirit of the composition and the medium of its expression. (Dont miss the chance to read and realize how modern this concepts are).
