Op vrijdag 26 december zal VOLTT dit jaar nog eenmaal goed uitpakken voor een knallende afsluiting van 2008. Op 2e kerstdag zal de Paradiso namelijk in het teken staan van VOLTT met een hoop vooruitstrevend talent en gerenommeerde artiesten.
In navolging van het overdonderende geweld op het tot nok toe gevulde CLiCK feest tijdens het Amsterdam Dance Event krap twee maanden geleden, maakt de organisatie zich op voor een nog meeslepender en vooral intiemer spektakel.
De jaarwisseling neemt altijd een beetje spanning met zich mee, meestal met de grote groep dierbaren die je hebt is het altijd een beetje onderling onderhandelen. Wel uit, niet uit, wel thuis, niet thuis, wel afteren, niet afteren, wel werken, niet werken...
Dan Berkson & James What are a newly formed London based production and live performance duo. Both Dan and James have been playing music, producing, and DJing in their own separate projects up to now, but have recently teamed up in an attempt to create their own blend of electronic house music. Dan grew up playing keyboards, and was performing six nights a week in his hometown of Chicago by the age of 16. He entered the New England Conservatory of Music in 1993 and quickly immersed himself in the worlds of jazz, funk and soul. While at NEC, he studied with such jazz greats as Danilo Perez, Cecil Mcbee and George Russell. As his interests turned more to house, dub and electronic music, he went to London to study production and to be able to go to Fabric whenever he pleased! Since then, Dan has been releasing records on many labels including Mood Music, Movim, Exun, and Gourmet Recorings and djing in the US and Europe. His latest EP will be released on Crosstown Rebels in the coming months. James What, originating from Germany, Scotland and Guatemala and brought up in southern France moved to London in 1999 to study music and sound engineering at London College of Music and SAE. Since then, he has been involved in a motley of music projects ranging from electronica to world music and currently releases records under his two projects names, James What and Sprayfonk. James What made his first appearances with productions on Treibstoff and Einmalein’s Musik and was selected to take part in the Red Bull Music Academy 2005 held in Seattle. Dan Berkson & James What’s debut EP together on Poker Flat, “The Dig” will be followed by more productions and they are now putting together a unique live PA featuring their own tracks mixed and reworked on laptops along with live synths.
