"Funkagenda is an outstanding talent, his sets can go from light and funky to dark and dirty in a seamless way that few Djs can pull off. Maybe its due to the fact that 50% of the records he plays are his own productions, which are without a doubt up there with the best! If asked to quote a name to watch for the future, Funkagenda is the first we think of..."

"Not only is Funkagenda my favourite producer in the WORLD, but his tea drinking capacity is second to none! With over 20 cups a day this man is a tea drinking phenomenon. On a serious note, he is unique in his abilty to produce and remix with such a diverse style all underlined by one word... QUALITY"
Mark Knight
"Funkagenda is a hot new talent and definitely one to watch for the future. He’s versatile and manages to combine a musical edge with a tuffer club sound that always works on the dancefloor. He’s been embraced by Big Love!”
Seamus Haji
"I like what Funkagenda is doing. Basically almost everything he does is to me really fresh and great house music the way I always liked it and the way I will always like it....proper stuff..."
Sander Kleinenberg
If you haven’t heard of Funkagenda by now then where have you been hiding?
Over the last 3 years, he has become a name synonymous with quality house music.
Already having featured on labels as prominent as TOOLROOM, POSITIVA, DEFECTED, AZULI, MINISTRY OF SOUND, SIZE, BIG LOVE and SUBLIMINAL, his production and remix skills are highly sought after worldwide.
And production is not the only string in his bow... His DJ talents are also a permanent fixture in clubs around the globe, with 2008 seeing him travelling to AMERICA, CANADA, RUSSIA, SOUTH AMERICA, ROMANIA, POLAND, SPAIN, FRANCE, ISREAL, SERBIA, GREECE and many more.
Starting his career at the age of just 13, helping to program backing tracks for his fathers club act, he quickly got a taste for music and life on the road. He formed his own bands at high school and became a multi instrumentalist, locking himself away in his home 4-Track studio for days at a time.
Then as he hit his late teens, amidst fronting a soft rock band, he was lured into the charms of dance music by the legendary VOODOO RAY.
From this point on it was a love affair, and whilst he continued to learn the more conventional side of music at college, with his A levels etc, he was burning the midnight oil in his home studio crafting Drum + Bass and Techno works.
In the late 90s during the house explosion it was here that he found his home. The hypnotic rhythms of ROGER SANCHEZ, DAVID MORALES and MAW were a perfect fusion of musicality + dance floor sophistication, and institutions such as WOBBLE and the mighty GODSKITCHEN were a Mecca for clubbers across the UK.
He began to learn the delicate art of DJing, although after years of manually timing beats on bargain basement samplers, this was not as difficult as he thought and soon he was picking up bar and small club residencies.
But his true love was production and at this point, with the price of a Dub Plate being about £50 it was not cost efficient to play your own material.
Enter the CDJ! Thanks to the wizards at PIONEER, many a bedroom producer now had the ability to play their own works out, and Funkagenda became a master...
Always re-editing and remixing tracks into his own style, his sets have a unique sound and began to catch the ears of many promoters around him, add to this the fact that his tracks are the flavour of the moment its no wonder he won best newcomer and best tune of the summer at this years Ibiza DJ Awards.
Currently enjoying huge support from the likes of MARK KNIGHT, PETE TONG, AXWELL, DIRTY SOUTH, STEVE ANGELLO, SEBASTIAN INGROSSO + even ARMIN VAN BURREN, Funkagenda is name is a driving force in house music today...
So we say again, where have you been hiding?!

Thinking about it .... My last exam is on the 23rd.... and after this.....
....
...

Arch 343, W2010, Final Examination
Take-home exam question. The exam is to be written in an assigned classroom at a later date to be determined before the exam period begins and which will be announced in class and on ACE. The time and date are the 23rd of April, from 10 am to 1 pm as noted on the present overall 3A class schedule. The exam venue is to be the laptop classroom.
Final Exam Instructions
This is an exam question that you can prepare at home over the remaining weeks of the term, the period of studio crit, and exam period. During this time you will prepare the point-form schematic outline of an answer to be written out later in full in a closed exam session. At that session you will write a final three-hour in-class examination answering the question which follows below.
For the exam you will only be allowed to bring in an information sheet or “cheat sheet” which is to be of letter size and written on one side only with the other side blank. The sheet will contain your prepared exam answer outline notes, original quoted text fragments, and citations. The font limit on these notes is to be no smaller than 9 point (I need to be able to read it comfortably if necessary). I addition to that sheet you will also be allowed the reduced form of any reproductions of artwork or images of cities from the course materials that you may wish to copy and include with your exam answer as reference material. This is the total amount of reference material that will be available to you during the exam and you must hand it in with your written exam or the exam will not be marked.
The exam itself will be supervised and hand-written in the provided exam books. No access to digital resources of any kind, or any other materials, will be available to you during the exam period. If there are extenuating circumstances requiring special conditions for exam writing and you have the necessary administrative and medical notes to support your request, you will be accommodated as needed.
In preparing your information sheet prior to the exam you may use whatever references you wish. Preference must, however, be given to interpreting the primary course materials such as the assigned readings, lectures and other visual materials provided on Waterloo ACE. Your exam answer should be your opinion supported by references, and not solely a compilation of writings by other critical writers on the course material.
Remember, you must hand in your information sheet or “cheat sheet” with your exam answer book on completion of your exam. The exam will not be marked if the information sheet has not been submitted.
Prepare an answer to the question in bold text which follows the quote and brief introductory commentary below:
In what seemed like ubiquitous fragmentation – Nietzsche and Marx agreed in calling it decadence – European high culture entered into a whirl of infinite innovation, with each field proclaiming independence of the whole, each part in turn falling into parts. Into the ruthless centrifuge of change were drawn the very concepts by which cultural phenomena might be fixed in thought. Not only the producers of culture, but also its analysts and critics (all) fell victim to fragmentation. ... Every search for a plausible equivalent to ... (such) heuristically indispensable categories as the “Enlightenment” seemed doomed to founder on the heterogeneity of the cultural substance it was supposed to cover. ...
What the historian must now abjure ... is the positing in advance of an abstract common denominator – what Hegel called the “Zeitgeist” and Mill “the characteristic of the age.” Where such an intuitive discernment of unities once served, we must now be willing to undertake the empirical pursuit of pluralities as a precondition to finding unitary patterns in culture. Yet if we reconstruct the course of change in the separate branches of cultural production according to their own modes, we can acquire a firmer basis for determining the similarities and differences among them. These in turn can bring us to shared concerns, the shared ways of confronting experience, that bind men together as culture-makers in a common social and temporal space.
Carl Schorske, Fin-deSiecle Vienna
The common underlying thread of almost all of the diverse social, political, cultural, religious, philosophical and scientific outlooks studied in the Arch 343 course is the central historical fact of the Industrial Revolution. Beginning in the early to middle decades of the eighteenth century, and evolving throughout the nineteenth century into the twentieth, there was a millennial shift in the societies and cultures of Europe and America, a shift from being agriculturally-based societies to being societies based on science, engineering and the factory system. By previous historical standards, this millennial shift from a society with values shaped by agricultural life, to Modern societies of urban dwellers working on the clock in factories in large metropolitan areas was a quick one. The shift was also, as indicated above by Schorske, both driven by, and the driver of, the new pluralistic cultural forms shaping the lives of individuals, their societies, and nature itself.
The Exam Question
Each of the protagonists in the works selected for the course can be said to fit into and represent some form of the broader “Zeitgeist” of their age. Contrast the mid to late nineteenth century "Zeitgeists" of the protagonists of “Walden”, published in 1854, and “Against Nature”, published in 1884. Demonstrate how they have moved away from the bourgeois world and outlook of Eugene de Rastignac and his society from Balzac's 1835 novel "Old Goriot". Remember, Balzac has set "Old Goriot" in approximately 1819 shortly following the fall of Napoleon.
Demonstrate, by your contrast of the above protagonists and their differing worlds, the transformation of the late eighteenth century European and American societies of the Enlightenment and Romanticism, into late nineteenth century industrial societies.
You should further assist your contrast by a choices of paintings, architects, buildings, and poems from the course material. You may also refer freely to any political writing, philosophy/theology, or science from the course material. These further representations are intended to broaden the discussion of the contrast you are making, and are not to be treated as separate questions making a "shopping list" of points.
Also remember, both the protagonists of “Walden” and “Against Nature” reject a normative participation in their societies and seek to isolate themselves in their own worlds.
"Demonstrate" means the use of enough references from the course material to prove your thesis. No references, no case, no answer, hence a low grade. Do not give unsupported vague generalizations as your answer to the question. You have enough time to prepare the details.
I THINK I WILL NEED THIS...

As many of you know, all flights out of Europe have been grounded or delayed due to the Icelandic Volcano that erupted. Unfortunately, due to this situation beyond our control Funkagenda on April 23rd has been canceled.
But don't fret! If you still want to put your dancing shoes on for the night, and come out to party with Factory, we're going to have Plastic Motive and fantastic locals bringing you beats at Social Nightclub!
We're very sorry for the short notice and inconvenience. This is due to safety for air travelers and is happening to party goers all over the world. If you have purchased a pre-sale ticket you may either keep your ticket and we will honor it at the next Factory Event (Treasure Fingers on May 7th) or at a future event. We can also refund your money if you choose.
