AUDITORIUM PARCO DELLAMUSICA
Seven years after her lastexhibition in Rome Björk Gudmundsdottir,in art Björk, is coming back in concert inthe capital. Fondazione Musica per Roma is pleased topresent, in its spectacular Cavea of theAuditorium Parco della Musica, the singerfrom Island in concert for the first dateof the Italian "Volta Tour." After Korea, Japan, China, England,Ireland and Germany, Friday July 25, forLuglio Suona Bene Review 2008, Björk willperform songs from her new album, "Volta".With her new work, Bjork returns to moreenergetic sound, with particular attentionto the texts and political issues. Songs like "Earth Intruders" or "DeclareIndependence" poetically illustrate herposition against humanity increasinglyinclined to exploit the earth and shape itaccording to its needs. Artists likeTimbaland (co-producer of JustinTimberlake, Nelly Furtado and Madonna),Antony Hagarty (of Antony & The Johnson)and Konono No. 1 have collaborated withher to the new project. The latter twohave been repeatedly guests of FondazioneMusica per Roma.“I’m always looking for words that havesome sort of energy. Usually the titlejust comes from a magazine or somebodysays something. I had waited for yearswhile working on the album, but it didn’tcome…But I’ve found the word “Volta†... Idon’t recall how it came about, but IGoogled it and found that it is both thename of a scientist in Italy who inventedthe battery, and also a river in Africawhich had been built by men and a lagoonbuilt by men called Lake Volta. So severalparts come into it. I’m not doping to nameanything specific, people can guess forthemselves what it is. There is also amedieval dance which carries this name, avery funny dance which is very hard tolearn. Thusly I got, a lot of things inone word: a dance, a river in Africa whichdoesn’t work anymore, and the batteryâ€.Bjork

CARL COX - 11th July 08ROME
A musical ambassador since he wasin short trousers, a professional DJ sincehis early teens, a veteran of acid houseand a champion of techno, Carl Cox emits alove of his work that is dangerouslyinfectious. Check him when he's behind theturntables and you can't mistake hisecstatic visage, dripping with sweat ashis head bobs up and down to the beat, hishands pumping the air whenever they're notmanipulating the turntables, his bodyswaying back and forth, frequently takingto the mike to share word on the latestunderground tune he's about to break. Youname it, Carl's been there and done it,but he's never lost sight of the point ofit: playing music, breaking tunes,spreading love, celebrating life.In 1977, aged 15, Carl got a set ofturntables and began working as a mobileDJ. Disco was the first music thatcaptivated him but by the early 80s Coxhad moved on to playing the same music asother young London DJs - rare groove, NewYork hip-hop and electro. He was perfectlyplaced to hear Chicago house music in itsearliest forms, and when the epic 'AcidTrax' by Phuture (a.k.a. DJ Pierre) cameout in early '87, "I was just 'This isit.' I would do my parties, and I'd playold rare groove and hip hop and soul and Iwould say 'Right you've got to hear thisPhuture track and people would just stop.It's funny because all the people whothought I had freaked out then are thepeople who are making the music now."As a founder of the sound, Carl rode theexploding British rave scene. He playedthe opening night of Danny Rampling'slegendary Shoom, co-promoted The Projectwith Paul Oakenfold, held a residency atthe Zap Club in Brighton and at theSunrise rave in 1988, hooked up a thirdturntable for his dawn-breaking set, got15,000 kids back on their feet, andestablished a personal rep for three-deckwizardry.The next step was to make music, andCarl's 1991 debut single for PaulOakenfold's Perfecto label, 'I Want You,'gave him a top 30 hit and a Top of thePops appearance. Two more singles alsomade the charts. But Carl was a reluctantpop star and as the masses moved ontofluffy house and trance, and the hardcorecreated jungle, Cox retreated into theclub world that had nurtured him andinstead embraced the underground sounds oftechno. "Techno drives home somewhere," hesays of his core music. "It takes you toan element of surprise, not knowing whereyou're going. It's scary but wonderful atthe same time."Carl’s classic releases include his 1995mix CD, 'F.A.C.T.', which became a technobenchmark, selling over 250,000 copies andCarl’s 1996 EP 'Two Paintings and a Drum'again broke the British top 30. AlongsideCarl’s ‘Ultimate Music Management’company, which counted Josh Wink andLaurent Garnier among 27 clients, therewas the Ultimatum record label, for whichCox recorded his third top 30 UK single'Sensual Sophis-ti-cat.' In 2005, Carl’sthird album, ‘The Second Sign’ caused astir across Europe and reached number 3 inSpain’s national chart. Also gainingcritical acclaim was speaker freaker‘Dirty Bass’ a collaboration withChristian Smith and the funky ‘Give Meyour love’, both released on 23rd CenturyRecords, an outlet for his own burgeoningproduction output.After forming Intec Records in 1999, thelabel went on to score a series ofunderground hits. Continuing his missionto conquer the entire world, seeing asCarl Cox Global radio show’s audiencefigures have reached 2 million perweekend, it’s little wonder Kiss 100 FMrecently head-hunted Carl as a figureheadfor their re-launch. Global’s worldsyndication has dominated airwaves in theprime-time slots of some of the world’spremier radio stations for nearly 3 years,running weekly across twenty countries,including America, Argentina, Turkey,Romania and Lebanon. Carl made atriumphant return to Kiss with a showentirely dedicated to new music. Guestsinclude Sven Vath, Jaques Lu Cont and JoshWink with label profiles on Buzzin’ Fly,International Deejay Gigolos and Somaamongst others.To celebrate the 50th release on Intec,Carl was the recent cover star ofrespected dance institution DJ magazine.The occasion was also marked by two freshCarl Cox productions on the label –‘Spoon’ and ‘K’Pasa’, the former a tributeto Carl’s friend Mark Spoon (of Jam andSpoon fame) who sadly passed away. Onthe style of the tracks, Carl explains,“Spoon’ is a deep, melodic, track withstrings and ‘K’Pasa’ is a more druggy,tribal track. They might not be thein-sound of today, but it’s what I like.â€This year marked the fifth anniversary ofCarl Cox at Space, Ibiza. Never one toplay it safe, the line up was reliablyvaried, with Carl fast cementing a statusas an ambassador for all things eclectic,as he states: “It was as varied as theyear before, with Josh Wink, LaurentGarnier, and Francois Kevorkian on onehand then people like LTJ Bukem, FatboySlim and Adam Freeland on the other, toname but a few. As with last year weproved you can have funk, soul, Latin,jazz, d&b - anything. It doesn’t just haveto be house.†The 2006 season did not goun-noticed through the night winning ‘BestIbiza night’ at the Ibiza DJ Awards.2006 also marks the third year his ‘CarlCox And Friends’ concept took to the Ahoyfestival in Holland, which was, Carl says,“A celebration of electronic music, with12,000 of his friends in tow.†Striving totake his showmanship to a higher level,Carl explains the full on- stageexperience: “It isn’t like one DJperforming for twelve hoursâ€, he says,“it’s a combination of great production,the best possible music and a real elementof performance like a live drummer,vocalist or guitar player on stage. It’sas big as a traditional rock concert, onlyled by a DJ.â€Carl’s dedication to giving the fanssomething more than a man and twoturntables is clearly one reason he wasgiven top billing at the massive Coachellafestival in California, alongside Madonna,Massive Attack and Franz Ferdinand. Mostrecently in August 2006 Carl in returnedto his native London as the host andofficial patron of the SW4 festival, where20,000 happy ravers lost it to Carl’sheadline set.

Raresh was born in Bacau ,Romania,in 1984. he living in Bucharestfor the past three years. Always attractedto music he began spinning the decks atthe age of 15 in a small club in hisnative town. Raresh was very eager tolearn and listen to as much music aspossible. Soon he gained the residency inthe most important electronic music clubin Bacau, where he played every weekend.After he moved in Bucharest, in 2003,Raresh faced the romanian capital's nightlife. It felt like a big challenge to animportant progress in his career becausethis was the headquarters of romanianclubbing scene. His talent was the factthat distinguished him from the othersyoung romanian DJs so that he was invitedto play at the Black Sea beach parties inthe summer of 2004.Raresh believes that one of the strongestmoments of his life was entering theSunrise Booking Agency. It was the chancefor his career to take off. In the lastyeras, he had the opportunity to playwarm-up for the artists he admired. He gota full summer residency for all theSunrise events at the Black Sea Coast andIbiza too like ,Cocoon and dc-10,whitoutforget the the hosting at last LoveParade.He shared decks with:Villalobos,Tania Vulcano RichieHawtin,Luciano, , Steve Bug, Josh Wink,Pascal FEOS, Zip, Marc Houle, Pier Bucci,Vera & Dorian Paic. And this was just thebeginning.
Born in a small village in theheart of St Croix, Luciano akaLucien-N-Luciano spends his first years inSwitzerland, which he departs in thesummer of 1988 to follow his mothers'roots to Santiago, Chile. Not only thedistance in miles, but the distance inmusic cultures between these twocontinents intrigues and seduces thetwelve year old and soon he starts to playwhat was going to be his very firstinstrument and a critical influence in hismuiscal career - the spanish Guitar.Luciano used the guitar as a tool to learnthe fundamentals of melody and rhythm, hisself learnt skills were practiced in localbands. Surrounded by latin rhythms andrich melodies, he develops a strongcuriosity for a diversity of music stylesand soon after, in one of his trips backto Europe, experiences the machine soundsof techno as it made waves across Europeduring the early years of rave culture andacid house movement.Soon enough, he began to fusion bothworlds thousands of miles apart andincorporate the sound into his own style.When a small electronic scene began torise in Chile in 1994 and at the age of16, Luciano and other Chilean friends,Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack aka MartinSchopf, Adrian Schopf organized andpromoted several events in Chile. Due tothe slow development of the scene inSantiago and the lack of elements thatwould support the scene such as musicmagazines and the appropriate clubs toplay in, he decides to return to hisnative Switzerland in 2001 and expand andexplore his fascination with electronicmusic and sound engineering.A year after, Luciano begins to travelwidely playing as a DJ and live act, andever since one can hear his melodies inclubs throughout the world. He hasreleased on labels such as Perlon, Klang,Transmat, Mental Groove, Max Ernst,Bruchstuecke and Peacefrog - not to forgetCadenza, his own label. His project nameLucien-N-Luciano is used to portray theslower downbeat productions while theproductions under his own name Luciano areaimed towards pleasure on the dancefloor.Luciano's music is widely appreciatedbecause of its graceful melodies, love fordetail and colorful patterns merging intoan amazing rhythm one can enjoy at home orin a club. Rhythms rise and fall like agentile tide of bubbly ocean, big stringarrangements spread across vast expansesof air, while a micro burst of sound popout from under the smooth, texturizedgrooves.
When looking for a place that playselectronic music in Eastern Germany, atthe top of the list you will find theDistillery club in Leipzig. For MatthiasTanzmann the Distillery has specialimportance, as since 1997 he has beenresident DJ there, providing thesoundtrack for Leipzig nightlife for morethan a decade.From the beginning Matthias’ musicaloutput has revolved around more than justfunctional club music, regardless ofwhether it’s on the turntables or in thestudio. Combining subtle arrangements thatride the deep vibes that lie between Houseand Techno, yet never forgetting the drivefor the dance floor - that is whatMatthias Tanzmann’s music is about.Together with Daniel Scholz he recorded asGamat 3000 at the end of the 90’s, andwith releases on Dessous Recordings,Freude am Tanzen and FM Musik they quicklymade a name for themselves in the GermanHouse scene.In 2000 Matthias founded Moon HarbourRecordings and made his debut as a soloartist. In parallel to the success of thelabel and Gamat 3000, he also quicklybecame one of the most frequently bookedGerman House DJ’s. He later becameresident DJ at the clubs Flokati (Munich),Monza (Frankfurt), Le Club (Valencia) andDC10 (Ibiza) - playing gigs from Moscow toBarcelona, Paris to London, Tokyo toSydney to New York. Also as host of MoonHarbour Flights at the Distillery,Matthias invites other internationallyrenowned DJ’s to play alongside him inLeipzig.Collaboration with other artists is alsovery important for Matthias. Together withSteve Bug or Daniel Stefanik, he hasproduced various EPs, drawing inspirationfrom the new dynamics and sounds that thecollaborative process can create.While over the years his tracks havedeveloped from classical Deep House with aEuropean edge, through to Minimal Housebordering on ambitious Techno, groove anddeepness were and still are the essentialelements of Matthias Tanzmann’smusic.
The fermenting partenopean culture,particularly marked Davide's personalityand in 1995 the techno scene met thepassion for his sound innovation. When hewas 18 to broad his knowledge acquired inNapless underground he moved to London,the social-cultural capital city of theelectronic-music. Here he start to producehis first work with a few machines, theywere studies on instrumentsfunctionalities and their range of use,and his first work was published byPRIMATE and soon AUDIO and CONTRASTpublished some Ep. In 1999 Davide wentback to Naples and he started to play nowand than. For two years he stopped toproduce to study sound engineering. Hishigh-quality technical knowledge allowedhis talent to fully express itself and tobring out unques- tionable quality works.DESIGN MUSIC first, then CONFORM, pro-duced some of them, earning excellentjudgments in international reviews. Davidewas not able to put up with the filtersthat the labels placed on his sonorities,though. He therefore decided to set up inthe SKETCH project, to be finally free tore-create his tastes. Three yars after hestarted his second label, MINISKETCH, forthe more minimalist productions. DavideSquillace is also known as erikOtanabE, analterego born under the necessity ofassembling different kind of beats,beingmore free on the choise ofsounds&samples.his tracks are a mix ofminimaltekandglitch house, resulting insomething enjoyable in a club as much asin your house while cooking somepasta...After some releases for MORRISAUDIO, MORRIS CITY SPORT, IRMA and otherlabels; he decided to start a more houzyand glitchy label with some friends: theTITBIT.

“It’s the first day of the rest ofyour life†sings Brian Molko on the firstsingle to Timo Maas’ second albumPictures. Sounds like the motto of thisthirty-six-year-old DJ and producer – feetfirst in the moment and way ahead in hismind. For almost twenty-five years andduring thousands of DJ-sets Timo Maas hasturned energy into ecstasy, mixing acongenial and cohesive Dance-combinationfor the soundtrack to the perfect party –drawing on eclectic ingredients from HipHop to Alternative and R&B. Despite allthat, Timo Maas feels he is more craftsmanthan alchemist, never resting on hislaurels, and always re-inventing himself.Most importantly: He does not spinrecords, he more than anything creates hissound. Restless, untiring, worldwide.Preferably all night long, at least forfour to five hours, more trip than trial –and in June 2006 even as the opening actfor Depeche Mode in Warsaw. At the peak ofthe excitement, floor filled and audiencescreaming, Timo Maas will say somethinglike: “I think I’ll really get them goingin about twenty minutes or so.†The look ahead and both ears to the groundhave achieved a lot for thistelecommunications-engineer from Hanover:From the local Discotheque in the Eightiesto popular residencies in The End (“bestvenue“, Time Out Live Award, London), thenew Pacha in New York and the DC 10 onIbiza in 2006. From high-profile remixesand a proud Grammy-nomination to a wholelot of original productions, twoartist-albums and his own label 99Percent. “I approach every gig, everysingle set and everything I produce, as ifthey were my lastâ€, says Timo Maas, whosename, by the way, is neither a pseudonymnor an acronym (even though “a ThousandIncredible Moments Of Music And AuralSensations†would fit). “All of this isonly possible, because I believe a hundredpercent in what I’m doing. I love my job!†This quality is evident at sunrise whenTimo Maas is yet again the “last manstanding†after eight hours behind thedecks, but even more so when he gets backfrom deejaying in Toronto or Tokyo andlocks himself in a studio on his farm withthe vinyl-barn to record a new mix. Thatway the ecstasy of the night transformsonce again into the energy of the DJ. Andthis in turn benefits all of his remixesand productions. Numerous singles, mixesand albums have made Timo Maas, always incollaboration with his sound-designerMartin Buttrich, a household name farbeyond the dance-world. In the summer of2006 the dream-team will reunite onceagain to start work on new material. Theywill also select and direct newproductions for his label 99 Percent,which takes its name from an almostall-encompassing vinyl-release policy. “Ilove spinning vinyl, and I still do somost of the timeâ€, says Timo Maas. “Mylabel should definitely reflect that.â€Another obsession the label and itsstrategy reflect is the ambitiouscuriosity of the simpatico sound-seeker –aquality which also manifests itself in theever greater new tracks by his protégésLoco Dice and eighteen year old DanielTaylor (M.O.R.D.) for other labels. “Ilove it, when I do not fulfil preconceivednotions and expectationsâ€, emphasises TimoMaas, “but rather exceed them.†In doingso, he stays true to another one of hismaxims: expect theunexpected.

Every Monday morning from June to October hedonistic clubbers are lured to DC10 for the carnival-like atmosphere of Circo Loco, the all-day long afterhours started by Italians Antonio and Andrea Pelino back in 1999. Circo Loco means crazy circus and it's the party where the beautifully wasted come together in Ibiza. Besides the colourful characters (some might even say caners) who make Circo Loco what it is, there are also its resident DJs who spin underground house and techno alongside the international guest DJs who hound Andrea and co. for an invitation to play.
