En effet, je tiens à rendre hommage à Kaosspat, instigateur de la première heure de ce projet fou que représente Teckyo et qui nous a quitté en Décembre dernier. Pour la première fois depuis presque 20 ans, je ne peux compter sur son aide précieuse. Je suis seule face à cette absence et me revient en mémoire sa bonne humeur, son soutien indéfectible, son humour ainsi que sa folie si particulière. Quand, en 1999, Lucie Association nous a proposé de sortir un fanzine spécialisé en musique électronique, il a, sans hésitation, voulu relever le défi. Il s’est investi sans compter, il a passé un temps précieux au développement du magazine et quand il a fallu faire face à diverses difficultés, il s’est naturellement proposé pour créer le site www.tec- kyo.com. Ceux qui l’ont côtoyé ou croisé en soirées ou en festivals, ont pu mesurer son amour pour la fête et la musique et tous en gardent un souvenir ému. Il aimait à dire : « the show must go on ». Alors continuons à vivre et à profiter pleinement des bons moments que la vie nous offre... Vous trouverez dans cette nouvelle parution, l’interview de Rodrigez Jr que nous suivons depuis le début de son ascension. Citizen Kain et 20syl ont accepté de nous détailler leur projet respectif, étant tous les deux omniprésents dans les soirées et festivals estivaux.

  • ADRIATIC COAST and Suppingthelocalvinoinoutdoorcafes Betweentheoleanders
    © Lonely Planet Publications 94 Adriatic Coast If coastlines could enter an equivalent of the Eurovision Song Contest, the bookies would surely back the eastern Adriatic – and not just because of Balkan block-voting either. Like the Bay of Kotor, it’s the juxtaposition of mountains and sea that sends the spirit soaring, although unlike the bay it’s a less closed-in, sunnier vibe that’s engendered here and the water’s even clearer. Croatia may hog most of the coast but Montenegro’s tiny section packs a lot into a very small area (a bit like the country itself). Without the buffer of Croatia’s islands, more of Montenegro’s shoreline has developed into sandy beaches, culminating in a 12km continu- ous stretch leading to the Albanian border. Unsurprisingly, much of the nation’s determination to reinvent itself as a tourist mecca has focused firmly on this scant 100km coastal region. In July and August it seems that the entire Serbian world and a fair chunk of its northern Orthodox brethren can be found crammed into it. Avoid those months and you’ll find a charismatic clutch of small towns and fishing villages to explore. Living on the fault line between various civilisations, the people of the coast have forti- fied their settlements since ancient times. That legacy can be explored in the lively bars and shops of Budva’s Old Town, the surreal glamour of Sveti Stefan’s village resort, the ramshackle ADRIATIC COAST residences within Ulcinj’s fortifications and, most evocatively, the lonely and mysterious ruins of Haj-Nehaj, Stari Bar and Svač.

Located right across Puglia, the heel of Italy, Montenegro (Crna Gora) means “Black Mountain” and it is one of Europe’s youngest countries despite its thousands of years of history. Its capital is Podgorica. As one of the six republics that made up the former Yugoslavia,Montenegro continued its existence under the roof of Serbia-Montenegro for a while after the collapse of the country. Following the referendum held in 2006, the Parliament of Montenegro declared its independence on June 3, 2006. Visa-free travel Similar to Norway, Montenegro displays some amazing fjord scenes. It is the attraction center of the Balkans with its national parks and 117 beaches, almost all of which proudly carry the Blue Flag, adorning the 293-kilometer-long coastline. Fresh air, lush forests, abundant sunshine, long beaches, clear lakes, snow-capped mountains, ancient cities as witnesses of history, and many other beauties are gathered in this small and pretty country with a surface area of 13 thousand 800 square kilometers and a population of 650 thousand people.

  • MONTENEGRO Montenegro’S Meandering Coastline, Backed by Dramatic Limestone Mountains, Gives on to the Serene Blue Waters of the Adriatic
    MONTENEGRO Montenegro’s meandering coastline, backed by dramatic limestone mountains, gives on to the serene blue waters of the Adriatic. And while Croatia, to the north west, has grown in popularity, few Britons drive two hours down the coast from Dubrovnik to the ancient town of Budva. Founded by the Greeks in the fourth century BC, and then fortified during the Middle Ages, the town forms the heart of the “Budva Riviera”, which runs 22 miles from Trsteno to Buljarica, and is dotted with a series of sheltered coves and eight miles of sand and pebble beaches. Getting there Budva is 12 miles from Tivat airport, 40 miles from Podgorica airport and 60 miles from Dubrovnik airport, in Croatia. Alternatively, you can fly to Dubrovnik and drive down the coast to Budva. A five-minute stroll east along a narrow coastal path lie the pebble beaches of Mogren I and II. On the way, note the bronze sculpture of a ballet dancer, a symbol of Budva, performing a graceful arabesque as she gazes out to sea. Mogren I is backed by cliffs, and connected to Mogren II by a short tunnel. Skip Slovenska Plaza, a one-mile strip of greyish sand west of town, which is overlooked by restaurants and late-night bars, and is crowded with sunloungers. For more secluded bathing, head to the small island of Sveti Nikola (known to locals as Hawaii) by taxi-boat from Budva’s seafront promenade. Covered by pinewoods and fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, it has a few beaches and a restaurant. Best of all, you can rent a kayak and paddle around to the south side to reach several isolated coves.
