GENESIS - NYE 2009
So what is Genesis anyways? Well basically it can be summed up as the creation of life. We like to think of music as a vibrant definition of life. The Rhythm, The Tempo, The Sound and finally the Energy, They are elements that fuel our everyday lives. When the clock strikes 12:00am it will be the start of a new year and a new beginning for all of us.
Featuring.....
FRANKIE BONES - NEW YORK CITY, NY
Ecler DJ Division / System Recordings / East Music Group NY
Frankie Bones, often termed the "Godfather" of the rave scene, has spent more than two-thirds of his life devoted electronic music. He got a start earlier than most. At only eleven years of age Bones had what he deems his first true experience in clubbing. Every Saturday from that fateful day in May 1978 until 1982, Bones went to Roll-A-Palace, a rollerskating rink in Brooklyn with a dancefloor and "forward thinking" DJ's, as he puts it. There he learned the basic concepts of how to format music from being a regular patron on a weekly basis. By the summer of 1979, at the age of twelve, Bones had already wired two turntables to the same stereo signal to enable him to start the next record while the one playing faded out. "My father found a box called a 1-4 Audio splitter which was a mixer with four slides marked Audio 1-4 and that was it. The art of mixing came by accident when I took two 45's of 'Good Times' and extended the chorus. My BSR turntables had no pitch control so matching the beat of the same song was easy."
His legendary STORMraves in Brooklyn in the 90's have earned him the reputation as a pioneer of rave culture. "Frankie Bones introduced raves to the east coast by throwing a series of big underground parties. They were known as STORMraves. Many promoters give Bones credit as the founding father of raves in America. It was at one of these Storm Raves that Bones gave a very important speech after one of his very powerful sets. He explained what the scene was about and why he had brought it to New York: Peace, Love, Unity and respect. When he finished everyone in the warehouse waved their hands in the air in complete unity. For many it was the most beautiful speech anyone has ever heard." says one attendee.
From Prodigy to LTJ Bukem to Carl Cox, some of the best talent to emerge in the global scene has attributed Bones as an inspiration. Playing cutting edge music without gimicks or limitation, Bones does not follow trends or try to create them. "I do not go for a look or a style, Fashion goes in and out of style, Passion and dedication never go out of style. I cannot scratch like DJ Craze cut like Bad Boy Bill, have major backing like Paul Oakenfold or rap like Run DMCm yet every time I start where they finish the crowd response equals or surpasses. How? Why? It is quite simple: I love what I do and I have loved what I have been doing."
MARCO G - QUEBEC CITY, CANADA
http://www.djmarcog.com/
After accomplishing his musical theme project with his team mates Mathieu Desaulniers, Dj Kal & Nicolas Maranda, Marco G shared this prize for the Canadian TV series 'Minuit Le Soir', thus winning an honorary Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television award, also known as 'Prix Gemaux'. This prize pushed him to persevere in his musical field. The celebrated DJ behind the famed 'G-style', Marco Grenier's savvy selections and impeccable mixing have made him an established favorite at home and abroad. A long-time friend and collaborator of DJ Preach, Marco G shares a residency at Quebec City's prestigious Club Dagobert, where he effortlessly constructs sets of throbbing, sultry and unique funky 'G' style house that appeals to purists and thrill-seeking partygoers alike.
Marco G retains a hectic DJing schedule in his home town of Quebec, whilst satisfying the growing international demand for his productions. With a permanent home on Relic Silver, Marco G's productions have also been signed to a wide range of house labels from DJ Dan's InStereo, Patrick La Funk's home label Opaque Music, to Carl Cox's 23rd Century house label and Canada's prestigious Hi-Bias and EyezCream Recordings.
Through seventeen years of DJing, whether playing for diehard sweat-drenched ravers or classy, wine-sipping trendsetters, Marco G has never lost his close ties to the underground. The hard, dark rhythms of the afterhours culture remain a pervasive element in both his track selection and production approach, and his open enthusiasm towards new genres, ideas, people and places has allowed his career to thrive through three decades.
Deko-ze - TORONTO, CANADA
PPM/Hi-Bias Records / http://www.dekoze.com/
Deko-ze regards electronic music as an art-form; a natural extension of his classical training in piano. He believes music should induce a wide range of emotional response, but ultimately programs to create energy and positivity.
In a scene now overly segmented, Deko-ze is increasingly distinctive: although categorized as a House DJ, he is recognized for his ability to fuse music of multiple genres (deep, funky & hard house; tribal; progressive; electro; tech-trance; techno).
ZEW - Chicago, USA
www.DNBTV.com / ChiTOWN UnderGround
DRUM and BASS
Paul, aka ZEW first dropped into the drum and bass scene back in early 2001 when he took over ownership of the well recognized Bassdrive.com. This self taught DJ and innovator worked hard towards making Bassdrive what it is today. After 7 years of running and promoting the site, Zew sold Bassdrive to move onto bigger and better things but still continued to host his show, ChiTOWN UnderGround, alongside local DJ’s Grand Marquee and Ikai’ka.
This chameleon spins anything from dark and dirty tech step to deep rolling liquid. His unique mixing is influenced by everything from old school hip hop to metal. Zew has recently left Bassdrive.com to find his new home on DNBTV.com where he plays alongside drum and bass legends such as Mason, DStar, Dylan and two of Winnipeg’s favorite locals, Gumby and Whupass.
KRISTOFF - EDMONTON, CANADA
http://www.djkristoff.com/
Kristoff has built a reputation as one of Canada's leading trance producers. His productions have landed releases on Matt Darey’s DP Recording, Fundamental Recordings Holland, FluxDelux UK, Recoverworld UK and Amplified Digital. Tune into his Monthly “Canadian Culture” Radio show on Digitally Imported Radio with regular international guests.
PEROSITY - THUNDER BAY, CANADA
http://www.perosity.ca/
Perosity started by playing hip hop and learning to scratch witch eventually led to him being pulled into the EDM scene by the sounds of drum and bass / jungle. While playing a few events here and there he decided to take a 2 year hiatus from life and move to Toronto to practice and perfect the craft by gaining experience performing with the very Dj's he aspired to be. Once back in Thunder Bay Ontario he decided to pursue djing professionally rather than just a hobby.
In 2007 Perosity landed his first residency at a local afterhours club Chaos , while playing at Choas he met another Dj (Doran) who he later teamed up with to form the beginning of Duck'n Cover Productions after the afterhours club closed to help keep the scene alive. Since then Perosity along with Duck'n Cover have gone on to throw monthly events in the city of Thunder Bay, and now currently hold a regular spot every Friday night on the local station (LU Radio) CILU 102.7fm.
DORAN - THUNDER BAY, CANADA
No stranger to different styles and genres, Doran fuses funky & tech breakbeats with bangin’ house, electro, hard acid techno, and anything in between. His on-the-fly mixing style lends itself to bending the rules, creating adventurous mashups, and most importantly keeping you moving on the dancefloor.
