Gaspard Augé (27) en Xavier de Rosnay (24) vormen de Franse band Justice. Sinds hun naamloze debuutalbum in 2007 worden ze gekatapulteerd tot rocksterren en zijn ze in rap tempo de wereld aan het veroveren met hun overweldigende sound en kenmerkende optredens met een enorm verlicht kruis.
After his summer smash hit "Napolitanzer" together with Fokko Versloot it was time for Beatfreax to ask him to do a mix for our podcast. And here it is! An awesome mix with tracks by e.g. Nils Number, Dimitri Andreas, Lopazz and of course the man himself.
Vrijdag 30 januari gaat het hek weer van de dam; Full Spectrum gooit de deuren van Tivoli De Helling open voor haar eerste editie van het nieuwe jaar! Met een behoorlijke vleug Worcester saus, komt zij deze keer met flink wat Brits vlees op tafel.
Sander Kleinenberg keert met zijn ‘This Is’ concept terug naar Paradiso. Na een zeer succesvolle ‘This Is Paradiso’ in 2008 was het voor beide partijen niet meer dan logisch om het niet bij 1 keer te laten.
Biographies stink. Sadly, so does mine. Officially i should convince you that i am 'something different'. The problem is not that i am not different, the problem is that everyone is…
Maybe it would be better if i told you my thoughts on music. How i like tracks that are bold and beautiful at the same time. That i am influenced by punkrock as much as i am by house and techno. Why i think Funk should always be written with a capital F. Then again, i guess this would bore you to death, and rightly so…
A quick summary of stupid details then? That i was born in 1976 (who cares?), that i cannot recall my first gig because i was only 2 years old when i started deejaying (yeah right), that i produced over a 100 records (of which i like at least 2!). That i played a lot of clubs worldwide as well as some major events like InnerCity, Mysteryland and Sensation White (we are all so impressed). Boring, boring, boring…
So just let me tell you what i'm up to:
My name is Benjamin Bates and i just released my debut album. It's called 'N.E.V.E.R.L.E.T.A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.K.I.L.L.T.H.E.P.L.E.A.S.U.R.E' and it's one of the best albums i've ever heard in my life. There's a few oldies on it (like the InnerCity 2002 anthem;'Locked Up!' and the should-have-been-an-Ibiza-anthem-single 'Thin Time') as well as a lot of new material. The next release will be 'Whole', but i will tell you more about that when we meet.
