Uppfade & Crown, DV5, Kone

On Friday, April 4th we got 2 young producers from Jelgava:
Uppfade & Crown (Electricano / Symphonic music)
Two of the few Latvian producers who already releasing their tracks, and you can easily find them on Beatport or Juno. On the other hand number of dance music releases from Latvia is growing, and good example is DV5, who, apart from being excellent DJ, also done some quality production and is ready to release it on Regroovable Records – new label, which DV5 is running together with Ivars Mednis. So this Friday DV5 is playing in Space:Garage as well. Plus our favourite resident – Kone.

We also continue Saturdays tradition with more relaxed and experimental atmosphere.
This Saturday, April 5. – Dj Contour and Yura aka Le Fleur Du Soleil.
Please, come by!

Funk, Latino, Balkans, Jazz, Reggae, Afrobeat, Downtempo. Stay positive!

Creating an atmosphere

“Creating an atmosphere” is what he’s famous for. “That’s my another side, I play “Bar sets”, as I call them, even more often then minimal ones. Nice sound system, music is not loud, people don’t notice it, and suddenly somebody start to dance, others join. Other DJs say I play Lounge, but for me it’s more House. Just the mood is very subtle. Like talking, or even whispering. If sceraming, than in nice, fruity way.” Eclectic light but uplifting DJ sets of Nu’Jazz, Funk, Balkan, Latino, Afrobeat are what he plays in Cuba Café (every second Wednesday and some Fridays or Saturdays) and other selected Riga’ clubs.

Kone 2008 MARCH chart

——– minimal ———–
Kaufmann und Ferdinand – Munich (Patrick Zigon rmx)
(Muenchen)
Great deep melodic track, if you listen to it once, it won’t get out of your head.

Tim Deluxe – You Got Tha Touch (Martin Buttrich rmx)
(Skint Records)
Easy going, atmospheric-pads-driven hit. A melodic beauty. Mr. Buttrich at his best.

Gaiser – Withdrawal (Minus)
Super clean piano simplicity, so touchy!

Tiger Stripes – Hooked (Liebe Detai)
Everebody moves, you can’s stand.

Dextro – Do You Need Help (The MFA’s Help Help rmx) (Border Community)
Old stuff, another timeless point of Borders crew.

TG (Tim Green) – Rhythm Acupuncture (Martin Buttrich mix) (Four:Twenty Recordings)
A little research into Martin Buttrich’ previous works makes me fan of him. Probably a soundtrack to flying with delta plane.

Patrick Zigon – Mental Draining (Alessandro Crimi rmx) (Puzzle Traxx)
Techno atmospherico. You will fly away.

Sebastien Leger – Jaguar (Mistakes Music)
Light and easy rework of one of the electronic music’ very best moments, shouts to Underground Resistance.

Radio Slave – Bell Clap Dance (Sebo K rmx) (Rekids)

Sunshine Jones – If You Wouldn’t Mind (Tiger Stripes rmx) (King Street Sounds)
