Fashion companies were quick enough to cut expenditures, pare store openings and lean on suppliers to survive the first year of the recession and the start of the credit crisis. But shifting consumer values and brutal economic realities are forcing both the weak and strong to reconsider their reason for being and how they do business. The paradigm in fashion is shifting. Well- established consumer segments are all changing independently and the industry is scrambling to keep up. The proof is everywhere, from First Lady Michelle Obama’s penchant for J.

So we know that you play the deep, melodic and progressive style but when did you start to DJ and what made you take the step from punter to player ?? (as in the DJ kind) Answer: Jan: I started dj-ing in 1999. Soon after that I had a residentie in the famous Amsterdam club MAZZO. Gaby: For me it was 1989 when I start dj-ing in a bar (Cranes Palace on the famous Rembrandtplein), after that tired to play the commercial stuff and did my own events (S.M.A.R.T) and residency in Club TIME (ITEM), all in Amsterdam. MB: If you can share one musical memory with us, as a DJ or punter, which has lodged itself in the memory bank, what is it?? Answer: Jan: Many to tell! From the warmups and closing sets in my residentie clubs MAZZO and Club PANAMA in Amsterdam for john digweed, Sasha, Danny Howells, Dubfire, Sander Kleinenberg, Groove Armada And many many more. I have a lovely memory when Faithless Maxi Jazz was Booked the in my club Panama. He and I went having drinks backstage and talked long about music and smoked some joints. Really cool guy! Gaby: Also too many memories, but two are engraved in my memory; Playing at a private party in Ibiza before José Padilla took over, and second playing in Miami at the V-Lounge.

  • Petar Dundov: Biography
    Petar Dundov: biography What is techno? Scientists and philosophers have long since pondered the concept of its musical definition since it burst out of Detroit in the mid-‘80s. Is it that notion of the “ghost in the machine”, of soul from electronics that its inventors elicited? Or is it more the repetitive throb and thump of 4/4 beats and slow-burning momentum that the Berghain generation are proponents of? Croatian producer Petar Dundov’s stunning music manages to marry both ideals in the most explosive of fashions. To Dundov, “techno is music that precedes movement. It is dance music, solid enough to carry emotions through the dance floor and abstract enough to be a template for ever”. And indeed his breathtaking productions embody this ethos, serving the inherent function of making your body pulse spontaneously while also challenging your brain with its complex melodies and slow-burning, hypnotic progressions. It’s the antidote for anyone who thinks that techno is about senseless, dull looping. Although maybe the word “techno” doesn’t give enough detail about his style, it’s probably the nearest ballpark to whose principles his music adheres – and he is keen to expand the horizons of what people know and expect of the genre. But it’s that sense of his tracks being alive, forever evolving and expanding and increasing in intensity, which gives his music its unique sound and has seen his work crossover into a myriad of different areas of the global electronic music scene. The last two years have seen his mind-bending single Oasis (played by everyone from Dubfire to Sasha to Ben Klock to Prins Thomas to Timo Maas) take the scene by storm with its intricate, ever-changing melodies, John Digweed snap him up for an epic rework of Alan Fitzpatrick’s Reflections, and Gregor Tresher squeeze a deep, mesmerising remix of his track The Life Wire out of him.

  • Elites, Communities and the Limited Benefits of Mentorship in Electronic
    Elites, communities and the limited benefits of mentorship in electronic music Milan´ Janosov1, Federico Musciotto1, Federico Battiston1, and Gerardo Iniguez˜ 1, 2, 3,* 1Department of Network and Data Science, Central European University, Budapest, 1051, Hungary 2Department of Computer Science, Aalto University School of Science, Aalto, 00076, Finland 3IIMAS, Universidad Nacional Autonoma´ de Mexico,´ Ciudad de Mexico,´ 01000, Mexico *[email protected] Abstract While the emergence of success in creative professions, such as music, has been studied extensively, the link between individual success and collaboration is not yet fully uncovered. Here we aim to fill this gap by analyzing longitudinal data on the co-releasing and mentoring patterns of popular electronic music artists appearing in the annual Top 100 ranking of DJ Magazine. We find that while this ranking list of popularity publishes 100 names, only the top 20 is stable over time, showcasing a lock-in effect on the electronic music elite. Based on the temporal co-release network of top musicians, we extract a diverse community structure characterizing the electronic music industry. These groups of artists are temporally segregated, sequentially formed around leading musicians, and represent changes in arXiv:1908.10968v2 [physics.soc-ph] 31 Oct 2019 musical genres. We show that a major driving force behind the formation of music communities is mentorship: around half of musicians entering the top 100 have been mentored by current leading figures before they entered the list. We also find that mentees are unlikely to break into the top 20, yet have much higher expected best ranks than those who were not mentored.
