He’s the bad boy of the Amsterdam techno underground: Daniel Sanchez, 26 year old son of a Spanish father and a Dutch mother, who scored one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2007 with the infectious ‘Mumbling yeah’. Daniel’s ‘mumbling’ vocals give the track that special edge.
Na een geslaagde avond knetteren met de karakteristieke sound van Aril Brikha stoomt Phunk Division op zaterdag 17 april door met een kakelverse editie in de Rotterdamse Catwalk.
Een grote schare Bosschenaren liet zich op 30 januari niet afschrikken door het barre winterweer waarmee de eerste editie van Analog Dialogue gepaard ging.
Op de eerste dag van maart is de tweede release van Gem Records uitgekomen, de nieuwe Secret Cinema remix voor Christian Smith (Tronic49) zag diezelfde dag het licht van de digitale wereld.
Born (1986) and raised in The Hague (The Netherlands), music actually did not play any major role throughout most of Thomas Martojo's youth. As a teenager he first visited the bigger raves and festivals and only than experienced what the world of (electronic) music had to offer him.
Educated by Dutch techno jocks Steve Rachmad and Dimi Angelís, further influenced by Traxx (Chicago), Norm Talley, Mike Huckaby (Detroit), Surgeon and Rob Hall (UK), Thomas regards spinning records as to be old-fashioned craftsmanship. Versatility and an open mind are all what he is on about when it comes to music and he nourishes no ambition other than to explore the depths of quality music as a deejay. Strongly rooted in Detroit Deep House, Chicago Acid Jack and mid-nineties peak time Techno, but also known to just as easily fuse a wide variety of other styles including Dub, experimental Electronica, Future Jazz, Nu Wave, EBM, Disco, Afro Beat & Bossanova. By pending through these different genres, setting out a progressing - yet surprising - atmosphere in which the deepest depths are followed by build-up peaks back and forth, one can always count on his mixes to differ every single time. This obviously makes it fairly difficult to typify his mixes, although they can be characterized by distinct programming in which the selected records connect distant places within the electronic music spectrum creating a truly unique “story telling” experience.
Only time will tell where his unorthodox approach will lead him, one thing is certain though: still relatively young, Thomas Martojo has already shown a great deal of artistic potential.
De bedoeling is om nog een aantal mixjes op te nemen waarmee ik verduidelijk wat ik precies allemaal draai, aangezien dat meer is dan bv. of enkel house, of enkel techno, alleen.
Vandaar dat ik nu het "artiesten" forum gebruik, ipv de livesets sectie. Hopelijk volgen er zsm meer en dan houd ik deze aan als centraal topic.
Ditmaal in ieder geval beatdown house, disco classics en zelfs incidenteel wat techno.
