TONY H Bringing the Last Frontier Some Much Needed FIRE [Featured TONY H bringing the Last Frontier some much needed FIRE [Featured Interview] Alaska has been called the last frontier, but what if I told you it’s the new frontier for up and coming DJ’s in the EDM scene? I spoke with an Anchorage local DJ and record label “Late Night Munchies” creator TONY H, about becoming a pioneer in the budding Alaska EDM scene. With an EP rising on the Beatport charts as of this week, we’re all curious to see where this hard working magician of sound goes to next. So TONY, how did it all start for you? Basically it all started back home in Panama. I was working at the front desk at a hostel called Luna’s Castle, and I would always play music for the guests upstairs. Once my boss finished building the bar under the hostel, he offered me one of the slower nights which was a Wednesday to basically dj for the guests. Once it got busier I basically combined my night job which was being a club promoter for all the major clubs in Panama and Djing. I hosted and DJ’d a college night Wednesdays at the bar which is called Relic. So has Panama always been home? And how did you find your way to Alaska? I am originally from Louisiana, but I was raised in Panama City, Panama. While my dad was transitioning from active duty to retired military, he ended up getting stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska. I needed to save money for bills and such, so I ended up moving in with my family. Who is your biggest inspiration? The dj and producer that has inspired me the most is Carl Cox. The passion and energy he brings to his production and live sets is out of this world. Other artists include Claude Vonstroke, Fedde Le Grand, Green Velvet, DJ Sneak, Nicole Moudaber, and Deadmau5. What single night out has been the most memorable for you as a DJ? As an attendee? Hmm.. the single night that has stood out to me as a DJ was probably when I played at the In-Tents City Party at the ACW about 2 years ago. The energy in that room was awesome. Even got to play some of my original tracks. As an attendee it has to be when I got to attend the Movement Festival in Detroit this year. It was AMAZING. I was like a kid in a candy store. What advice would you give to other people trying to break into the scene? Work hard, practice a lot and network with everyone. Good advice! What is it that you love about the Alaska scene? Honestly, Alaska has been a tough state to push House Music on. Coming from Panama where you can find hundreds of people packing every bar that has headliners or just all locals playing house. BUT the good thing about Alaska is that when you do throw an event that is solely house music, the people that attend are all about it and that I do love. What is one track that never gets old for you no matter how many times you hear it? Wow that’s a tough one cause I feel like there are so many. I’d probably say one or two that I love to listen to or play is Dense & Pitka – Colt and Cajmere – Percolator (Jamie’s Jones Vault Remix) All good choices. So is there something you try to communicate to the audience through your vibe? I just want everyone to have a good time. I loveeee house music and I try to express that in my sets with a lot of energy. Also I’m usually dancing during my sets too haha. How did “Late Night Munchies” get its name? Is it difficult to manage your own label? So the way late night munchies started is pretty random. I was sitting at home on a Friday or Saturday night and I didn’t have anywhere to dj in town, and I remember it being super late. I was just up eating candy, Twizzlers (my favorite) to be exact lol. I decided to record a quick mix and I ended up calling it Late Night Munchies. A good amount of time flew by but eventually I met my girlfriend, Britt and she was kind of the driving force for me to turn what was just names for a mix into a record label. It definitely is challenging running your own label and I learn something new every day. What plans for the future do you have and where do you see yourself in 5 years? Well, my plan for the label is to continue to throw showcases as I transition from the Alaska scene to the Seattle scene and get the chance to work with groups like the Seattle Church of House Music, the Sorusty Collective, and the Seattle DJ Academy who on their own are doing amazing things for the house music scene in Seattle. I definitely want to bring more artist to be part of the showcase and have already been fortunate enough to have brought up Bacosaurus, who is on Audiophile XXL. Jason Burns, who is on Mark Knight’s Toolroom Records and Nervous Records. As for me, I plan to continue to improve my production skills and work with more artists and hopefully go on tour sometime in the near future. OK last question, do you think Harambe should have been tranquilized OR was his death justified? He should’ve just been tranquilized then he could have ran for President and been #1 in the DJ mag top 100. #RIPHarambe FOLLOW TONY H & LATE NIGHT MUNCHIES BELOW Late Night Munchies Facebook|Soundcloud TONY H Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Soundcloud | Website Share this: Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

  • 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.

  • GREEN VELVET This Music Industry Legend, Trailblazer, and Currently
    GREEN VELVET This music industry legend, trailblazer, and currently one of the hottest DJ’s and producers on the underground electronic music scene...Green Velvet… came into existence more than 25 years ago. In 1993 Green Velvet launched Relief Records and since that time has been a constant presence in the industry. When this very eccentric, green Mohawk wearing Green Velvet emerged, he sent shock waves throughout the House and Techno music scenes. What was even more intriguing was his background. Born in the southern suburbs of Chicago, IL he has always been an active athlete and focused student determined to follow his dream of becoming a chemical engineer. While he excelled scholastically he was socially introverted, but always committed to finding ways to share his enthusiasm for living. Following in his father’s footsteps, he began DJ-ing while attending undergraduate school at the University of Illinois and later graduate school at U of C Berkley. Until one day, he realized that while his dream was to become a chemical engineer…his passion…his God given talent was to pursue life in the music industry. That passion and commitment led him back to his hometown, and clearly kept Chicago on the House Music map. Even today, more than 25 years later…it is difficult to go to any electronic music festival or set and not hear music from Green Velvet/Relief Records. Crowds everywhere sing along when notable hits like: Bigger than Prince, Flash, La La Land, Lazer Beams, Live Stream, Preacher Man, Shake and Pop, Sheeple, Suga, and Voicemail, are blasting across the airwaves.

Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that stu- dents should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: • Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on quali- tative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
