    news #34 MUNGOLIAN JETSET - MUNGODELICS Hot on the heels of 2011`s "Schlungs", the Jetsetters have kept those buttons busily pushed, and are already here with their next chapter installment, featuring 8 new nuggets entitled "Mungodelics". The album is essentially a psychodramatic sequel to the highly acclaimed "We Gave It All Away, Now We Are Taking It Back" album of 2009, as it is musically a blend of originals and remakes made into originals, as well as solo performances and external collaborations from the band`s musical core members, Knut Saevik and Paul "Strangefruit" Nyhus. All in all, "Mungodelics" musically summons everything that is hazy, dazy, underearthly and crazy. This is the Mungolian Jetset taking you on a ride through the seasons, and shifts of the days and nights, from the Cantina to the Ewok forest, via ritualistic dancing at Kilmin Taboour and stellar swimming in the galactic Goa.

A Must for fans of Fela Kuti, Tony Allen and the likes! "Rhythm is what makes a good afrobeat record," says Gabriel Roth, Daptone Records co-founder and producer of Antibalas' forthcoming self-titled LP. "Not just the rhythm section, but the rhythm of the horns, the rhythm of the vocals, the rhythm of the keyboards, everybody's rhythm.

Aber Roths Vorstellung eines Retro-Sounds, aufgenommen mit Vintage-Instrumenten auf Band, passte perfekt zur Stimme von Sharon Jones. Und das gemeinsam gegründete Label Daptones mit der Hausband, den Dap Kings, wurde mit genau dieser Stimme zu einer regelrechten Zauberformel. Kaum eine andere Band tönt so satt und crèmig wie Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings. Kaum eine andere Band arrangiert und produziert so sorgfältig wie diese. Warum das so ist, und was der Vorteil ist, wenn man ein zehnköpfiges Ensemble auf engstem Raum mit nur wenigen Mikrophonen aufnimmt, das diskutiert der Musikredaktor Roman Hosek in der Jazz Collection mit Jodok Hess.

  • October / November 2012
    Gecko Studio Gallery Newsletter – October / November 2012 Our next exhibition……. “Remember Me” - A collection of dry-point etchings ranging from endangered and local species printed on geological maps - Clare Whitney - October 21 to November 17. Opening Sunday October 21 from 2-5pm. Artist Statement – Clare Whitney Opposite attractions inspire my daily workings. Something old with something new, something handmade with something found. I am the silent observer of all things, colour, form, movement, sound and touch, I strive to create a constant thread between the past, present and future, within my images. I love nothing more than lying down and looking straight up into the patterns of the clouds, treetops and grasses and getting visually lost in nature’s kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. Living in Thornbury, I have had my studio in the heart of Melbourne for the past 8 years, my inspiration is found anywhere from my local streets and parklands to the ocean and bush land both in Australia and abroad, where-ever I am ….I am observing and inspired. Local endangered species’, the human figure and symbolic shapes are captured and introduce onto old maps, music sheets and pages of text. Working within the boundaries of these collected back-grounds, endangered species are printed onto old collected maps significant to where they live whilst music sheets have common songbirds dancing across their notes; I try to create an everlasting relationship between the two. Winged things have always interested me from flying ants, precious beetles and endangered birds all the way to the ancient winged gods, the detail of nature’s mechanics and humankinds’ imagination is particularly visually fascinating to me.

  • Re:Generation Music Project
    RE:GENERATION MUSIC PROJECT EPK RE:GENERATION Song By Song The RE:GENERATION MUSIC PROJECT, produced in association with The GRAMMYs® and presented by Hyundai Veloster, examines the history of different music through the eyes of five of the most influential electronic producer/DJ’s in music today. For the project, Mark Ronson, DJ Premier, The Crystal Method, Pretty Lights and Skrillex each take a specific musical style and explore it by writing and recording a brand new track with a grouping of influential collaborators in that genre. SKRILLEX hit a Los Angeles studio with Members of The Doors in order to re-envision rock 'n' roll on "Breakn' a Sweat.” Meanwhile, THE CRYSTAL METHOD touched down in Detroit to work with Martha Reeves of The Vandellas and The Funk Brothers on an R&B number entitled "I'm Not Leaving.” Then there's MARK RONSON's southern brew of New Orleans jazz, "A La Modeliste," boasting a veritable all-star cast: Erykah Badu, Trombone Shorty, Mos Def, Zigaboo Modeliste and Members of The Dap Kings. DJ PREMIER tapped Nas and Boston's very own Berklee Symphony Orchestra for "Regeneration.” Everything culminates on the dusty, intergalactic twang in Nashville of PRETTY LIGHTS' "Wayfaring Stranger" with LeAnn Rimes and Dr. Ralph Stanley. We've arrived at the ultimate 21st century musical crossroads where vinyl is still a part of the music mainstay, but sounds are taking a whole new direction. The entire experience comes to life in the RE:GENERATION feature documentary directed by award-winning documentarian Amir Bar-Lev (“MY KID COULD PAINT THAT,” “THE TILLMAN STORY”) due in theaters nationwide this February.

I never did, and that made me really fucking angry. I'm more interested in revealing what's most important about my life, like how I cook my steaks; what I think of the tabloids, the truth, my ex-wives, my ex-band, my music; and what an innocent observer might find hanging around my house any given Sunday.

  • Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Biography
    SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS BIOGRAPHY Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have come a long way since their humble beginnings nearly a decade ago. Steeped within the gilded and gritty sounds of gospel, soul and funk, this nine-piece Brooklyn collective has continued to electrify fans, disc jockeys, critics, record collectors, and bloggers the world-over with their authentic, heart-felt sound. The authenticity clearly demonstrated on the band’s three critically-acclaimed albums – Dap Dippin’ (2002), Naturally (2005) and 100 Days, 100 Nights (2007) – captured and released by the independent Daptone Records. Their albums recall an analog era led by iconic studios like those at Motown and Stax Records, and have thrust the fifty-three- year-old Augusta, GA native and crew into the multimedia limelight. Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have appeared on CNN , Good Morning New York , MTV News , VH1 , Conan O’Brien , Craig Ferguson , David Letterman , Jimmy Fallon , BBC Television , NPR radio shows like Morning Edition and Fresh Air with Terry Gross , and have been covered in a slew of publications, from personal blogposts all the way to feature stories in the New York Times Sunday Magazine , Newsweek , the Associated Press , Interview , the Village Voice , and Entertainment Weekly . As distinguished as their recordings may be, however, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have truly become renowned thanks to their incredible live show, not to mention their relentless touring. And though it’s certainly no easy task to keep such a vast ensemble on the road, the band continues to pack hundreds of clubs worldwide, from legendary venues like New York’s Apollo Theater, Beacon Theater and Central Park’s SummerStage to their show-stopping sets at Coachella , Lollapalooza , Roskilde , Bonnaroo , Austin City Limits and WOMAD .
