F*ck*ng P*rv*rts 1st Year Anniversary w/ MARTIN LANDSKY (Poker Flat/Mobilee/Morris/Audio/Berlin)!!!
Special Guest DJ Martin Landsky ( Poker Flat, Mobilee, Morris Audio)
*Berlin based DJ and Producer Martin Landsky is deeply fascinated and forever entwined with music.
Since his pre-teen years, the now globally respected and sought-after musician grew up tinkering with
cassette tapes, breakdancing to Funk and Rap on the streets and absorbing music... later taking up
Djing (a rare art at the time) and presenting his selections at school parties and youth clubs. His
discovery of the blossoming Acid House and Techno sounds of the late 1980s brought him in
connection with the legendary Front club in Hamburg where his calling made itself known.
The atmosphere of this club, where he soon gained a residency and met amongst others future Poker
Flat boss Steve Bug, holds a very special place in Landsky‘s musical heart. It’s what still drives him
today, deep inside, and he spoke of the ‚amazing experience‘ with animated honesty and passion.
As a DJ today, Martin feels his job is to convey the special emotions and feeling of such experiences.
The dark, sweaty and escapist atmosphere of the Front club, combined with growing huge appreciation
for House and Techno, alongside Funk, Soul and Rap, fueled his desire to present his own take on all of
this. So, hand in hand with Landsky the DJ, we find Landsky the Producer. In 1999 he took a trip down
the road of life and moved to Berlin, where his story escalated.
A regular and respected DJ in many of the key clubs of the era, like E-Werk, Tresor / Globus or the
Sternradio Club where he set up a regular Poker Flat Night alongside Steve Bug and Clé. By this time
Landsky had already released impressive early work on self-run imprints like Effortil, and later Intim,
which brought him notoriety further afield. It was in 2000 that the first Martin Landsky productions
surfaced on Poker Flat, with the inimitable ‚Crude Clay‘, and then later seminal EPs like ‚Spy On
Summer‘, and ‚Sweet Sweet Morning‘. His label Intim was also still active at the time, and classic
Landsky moments like ‚Naked‘ were some of the last to be released on this platform.
In 2001 Landsky‘s debut longplayer ‚In Between‘ was released on Poker Flat, cementing his position on
the scene as a producer and opening many new doors of opportunity. Infusing his sound with a rich,
funk influenced vibe, and tight, high-end studio sheen the sound of Martin Landksy began to evolve
even further. As a remixer, with hits like his treatment of DK7‘s ‚The Difference‘, Martin had also
become no stranger to critical acclaim.
A natural DJ by trade, Martin Landsky finds making his own music challenging and rewarding. Always
searching for new sounds; in turn allowing his audio make up to evolve and breathe, it’s clear to hear
those early, heady inspirations nestled beneath the surface of his warm and future-leaning recordings.
Much like one of his DJ sets, his own productions present what he loves about the music, trying to
surprise and break conventions.
Global exploration and touring was quickly becoming common for Landsky, as a stream of well-received
singles flowed in the early 2000s. More EPs for Poker Flat, like 2002‘s cheeky ‚Mission Upskirt‘, the
funked house of ‚Reject‘ (feat Filip.G) in 2003 or the classic ‚Housed‘ of 2004 all tied down the Landsky
sound, fresh as day and clear as a sweet morning! After the rousing tones of ‚FM Safari‘ kept the flame
alive in 2005, the unmistakable hit that is ‚1000 Miles‘, with its hazy, hypnotising and slow burning epic
feel, stood as a landmark work for the producer; a new benchmark in his repertoire.
In more recent years the Landsky powerhouse continued to grow. Not only gracing the much hailed DJ
booths of modern mecca-clubs like Watergate or Fabric, but releasing singles such as the strong-
grooving ‚Let Me Dance‘ (2007), the tough electronics of ‚Man High‘ (a hit in 2008), or his recent EP ‚
We Are Streaking‘ (2009) - showing off his lovingly expressed studio indulgences. All were released on
Poker Flat and explain why he is of course one of the central artists on the label.
2009 also proved to be a great year for Landsky the remixer, following 2008‘s huge re-working of
D.H.S‘s ‚House Of God‘. His remix of Pan-Pot‘s ‚Confronted‘ on mobilee records set the standard once
more, casually combining his love of deep, atmospheric techno with classic, hands-in-the-air moments.
The future is of course bright for Martin Landsky, who has already achieved so much. 2010 sees the
release of ‚Werkschau‘, an unmixed compilation that gathers together a hand picked selection of the
producer‘s favourite cuts. The Music stands for all that he loves, and what he loves he puts on show!
Summing up the Landsky sound, and looking back over the years one can‘t help but feel a deep
underlying quality emanate from the music. Like subtle, mature flavours running through a well-prepared
banquet.
* You may remember Martin Landsky @ PS14 a few years ago for WMC, or maybe @ Oslo in Detroit for DEMF thanks to the Cheap Sunglasses Parties.
* Now you're going to remember him from the F*P*s anniversary!!

*A year ago it started with 3 small words,”it’s our time”, and an impromptu meeting at a very well known warehouse. A meeting of the minds… 3 people, friends, colleagues destined to work together toward a common goal. Though something was missing, and before too long that final piece was in place and after a few pints and a gentleman’s agreement the F*ck*ng P*rv*rts were born. First order of business was to show the people of the Bay area and beyond what we are all about.
*You may have seen our mission statement, but if not, it goes a little something like this, to paraphrase, “we’re a crew of down to earth
party people wishing to bring together a few hundred of their closest friends in some of the more intimate environments surrounded by lush beats and rolling basslines.”
*Our first event as a crew was August of 2009 when we set sail on the high seas and rocked a sunset boat cruise, leaving everyone on board,including the crew, wanting more. So, what else could we do but a fortnight later, bring a Tampa area favorite, Crazy Larry to the Hyde Park Café. Ever since that night you could tell there was something special on the horizon. Working together like a well oiled machine, the night was a smashing success, and looking around the room seeing the people grooving to the beats with smiles on their faces, we knew we were definitely exactly where we were meant to be. *The rest of 2009 saw the F*P*’s finishing up their busy schedule of gigs around Florida and getting together in the studio for some late night sessions and building chemistry that really took off in early 2010.
*January 2010 is when we started our monthly residency at The Crowbar with our special guest from Dirty Bird, Worthy. The response was tremendous and the night was amazing for sure. Off the back of that came our series of Sunday afternoon parties, Cookin’ Beats&BBQ where every third Sunday we get together to wind down the weekend with our friends and enjoy some great music and tasty treats. *Between Cookin’, a Memorial Day weekend boat cruise, the Necessary Roughness parties at Hyde Park Café and other gigs where we’ve played as a crew, 2010 has already been a very memorable year, which brings us to our first birthday party.. AND YOU’RE ALL INVITED!!!
