Dj Southboy

Slovensky:
Aj ked ho tanecná hudba vo všetkých jej podobách fascinovala už ako 13-rocného, ako klasický vynilový Dj, ak neráta súkromné parties a klasické diskotékové zaciatky, pôsobí od roku 2002. Zaciatky jeho pôsobenia sa spájajú s mestom Banská Bystrica a jej klubmi (Roswell, @ura cafe, Hi-Fi). Neskôr nasledoval pobyt v Anglicku, kde absolvoval niekolko hraní v klube Flava situovanom v Southporte nedaleko Liverpoolu s clenmi známeho bookingu Soulfelt . Po návrate si zacal postupne a cielavedomo budovat reputáciu nielen ako Dj, ale aj promotér klubových nocí ako „Weekender“ v Trencianskom Krankenhause alebo letnú rezidentúru „Scandalous“ na terase miestneho cocktail baru Scandal. Momentálne pôsobí hlavne v okolí rodného Trencína, s obcasnými výjazdmi do klubov hlavne na Považí (Púchov, Považská Bystrica).
V súcasnosti je rezidentom troch klubov: v Považskobystrickom klube Planet organizuje akciu Sonance, zameranú na nové trendy a postupy v elektronickej tanecnej hudbe, v Bratislavskej Radosti sa objavuje pravidelne nielen na svojej akcii „Disco Cubism“, orientovanej skôr na klasický undergroundový zvuk houseu a v domácom Trencíne mu pripadla rezidentúra v novootvorenom klube Blindvision. Jeho sety už však odzneli aj v kluboch Ministry of Fun a Casablanca (ZV), v Nitrianskom Pulse, Bratislavských kluboch Elam a Duna, na houseových stageoch akcií Schranzhell, Technoterror a X-Pression v Piano klube (TN) a niekolkokrát aj na letnom festivale Beefree .
Tak ako pri produkcii, sa ani pocas hrania žánrovo neobmedzuje. Podla doby, miesta, nálady na parkete a v neposlednom rade aj nálady osobnej tak od neho môžete zacut bublavý minimal, hypnotický progressive a tech house alebo veselý vokálny house, ci našlapaný jackin' a electro house. Od roku 2007 pôsobí pod bookingom Housemusic.sk .
Známejších a slávnejších djs, s ktorými sa za gramcami stretol tu nebudem menovat, pretože ich je jednak dost a okrem toho si nemyslí, že by takáto informácia mala nejakú váhu.
Produkcii sa venuje zhruba od roku 1999. Žánrový záber má široký - od downtempa a hip-hopu, cez dub, house, tech house, brejky, progressive až po tracky nasiaknute techno feelingom. K jeho úspechom možno prirátat úcast na dokumentárnom projekte viedenskej filmárky Doris Kittler, do ktorého si vybrala jeho hudbu. Jeho produkcia dalej figuruje na DVD úspešného audiovizuálneho projektu „Chuchvalec Mixtape“ Lukáša Matejku aka Akjetam . Dalej možno spomenút nedávny úspech v sútaži producentov, ktorú vyhlasovali rádio Sity v spolupráci s klubom Unique a firmou Sunteq, ktorú sa mu s trackom "takataka [sensing danger]" podarilo vyhrat. Aj medzi Dj-mi a v producentskej komunite sa tento track stretáva s vysoko pozitívnymi hodnoteniami. V blízkej dobe by tento track mal vyjst spolu s remixami. Svojím vokálom ho ozdobila vynikajúca Pražská vokalistka Gabriela aka Mother@work (developingartists.cz) . Jeho produkcie aj sety ste tiež mali niekolko krát možnost pocut v rámci pravidelnej relácie 4Elements na Rádiu FM.

English:
Even though he originally comes from Trencin and tryied Djing on private parties for friends since he was 13, he oficially first stood behind decks in 2003 in a tiny club @ura in the city of Banska Bystrica, where he studied. The night was a success; therefore he was instantly offered a residency there. During his studies he also appeared in several other clubs there, including Hi-Fi, Roswell 47 and others. An important milestone in his career was his stay in England in the Liverpool area, where he used to appear in ‘Flava’ club, situated in Southport, with Djs from Soulfelt booking. After coming back to Slovakia and finishing his studies, he returned to his hometown of Trencin and there he gradually started to establish himself as a Dj and promoter. Local clubbers could enjoy his sets in local ‘Krankenhaus club’, 'Klub Luc' or Shaka (nov xXx), situated in nearby Puchov. In the above mentioned ‘Krankenhaus club’ he started his own residency ‘Weekender’ with guest Djs from both Slovakia and Czech Republic. His other residencies included ‘Scandalous’ – a series of open-air parties on a terrace of a stylish cocktail bar Scandal in Trencin, held in summer and 'VS' - duel behind decks, also in Krankenhaus. He also performed on parties in several other Slovak clubs and in Czech Republic. Currently, he is resident in three clubs: in Planet in Považská Bystrica he organizes "Sonance", focused on new trends and sounds in EDM, in Radost in Bratislava, it is party called "Disco Cubism", which is oriented mainly on the original underground house sound and recently he has also become resident at a newly opened club in his hometown of Trencin, called Blindvision. As there are several residencies he has, so variable is his musical taste and style. In his record collection you could find not only house, tech house or progressive, but also breaks, groovy techno, electro, lounge, nujazz, soul, funk or even disco or rock music. He doesn’t classify music to styles, for him, there are only two categories: ‘like’ and ‘don’t’ like. That is the aspect that distuinguishes him from other Djs and is the source of his variability and flexibility behind decks - you never hear him playing one style all night. He also enriches his sets with his own productions. Since 1999, when he did his first track he is constantly trying to improve his production skills. A proof of being on a good way was, e.g. his productions appearing in a document of a Vienna based film director Doris Kittler or a massive ssuccess and support for his award-winning track "Takataka", a collaboration with Mother@work, a vocalist from Prague. His sets and productions appeared several times on Slovak national radio station Radio_FM on a radio show ‘Monday Night Mix’ and "4Elements".
