<p><em><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/officialtiga?ref=ts">Tiga</a></strong> and<strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/zombienation"> Zombie Nation</a></strong> are ready to release their first album as ZZT, entitled <strong>Partys Over Earth</strong>.</em></p>
<p>The two artists have been teaming up as ZZT since 2007, with a handful of EPs to their credit so far, all of which have come out on Turbo Recordings, Tiga&#8217;s label. Their sound is just like the individual artists; rough and bleepy. Partys Over Earth shows them doing what they do best: stomping, electro-tinged party bangers. (The promo version also has possibly the best watermarks of the year thus far, with Tiga whistling annoyingly and singing words like &#8220;mediafire,&#8221; and &#8220;torrent sites.&#8221;) The album&#8217;s first single, Vulkan Alarm!, is currently available with remixes from Proxy and Jan Driver.</p>
<p><strong>Tracklist</strong><br />
01. Where Is the Captain?<br />
02. Rock the Peace<br />
03. Partys Over Los Angeles<br />
04. Nickel Und Dime<br />
05. ZZTMF<br />
06. Zig Zig Zag<br />
07. Zzafrika<br />
08. The Worm<br />
09. Work<br />
10. Lower State of Consciousness<br />
11. Vulkan Alarm<br />
12. ZZT Has Left the Building</p>
<h3>
Turbo will release Partys Over Earth on November 7th, 2011, and will be available in The Kool Kids Shop!</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5038920583_47d0b642c8_b.jpg" alt="ZZT - ZZafrika" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/zztzzt">ZZT</a></strong> is a project of <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/officialtiga">Tiga</a></strong> and<strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/zombienation"> Zombie Nation</a></strong>, who you surely all know and love. Some even more than others. Apart from the countless underground classics they made with their solo projects, ZZT is also a well-known character in the music scene, with tracks like The Worm and Lower State Of Consciousness. Actually, that&#8217;s all they&#8217;ve released so far, which means that they are having a 100% score when it comes to underground hits. </p>
<p>But that&#8217;s all about to change now! Well, not the 100% on underground hits, but finally, and I really mean finally, they are releasing a new track that will get your yo yo&#8217;s out and makes you wanting to drill, drill, drill that song into infinity and beyond! </p>
<p>ZZT &#8211; ZZafrika is, ironically, hitting earth within a week! Perhaps you already know the track, perhaps you haven&#8217;t even heard of ZZT yet. Nevertheless, the track is awesome. Certain dancefloor killer if it&#8217;s up to me! You just have to listen to it. If you don&#8217;t like it, listen to it again. And again. And again. </p>
<p>Much diversity, a clear, yet raw setting sound. A bit of sidechain here and there. A few breaks in between, and the climaxes just keep on coming! 5.37 minutes of fun, pleasure, joy, sex, and party hard, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about. Both Tiga and Zombie Nation seem to have put so much fun in this track, that it makes even the most depressing person smile and dance.</p>
<p>Enough of this chit chat, let&#8217;s all have a drink, listen, get wasted, and listen some more shall we!</p>

<em><br />
This Queensnight, April the 29th, Révolt and Mojo concerts have teamed up to create the biggest party ever. On this night, you can expect huge acts. There will be an immense line-up, all big international artists, ready to be watched and raved on behind the doors of the large Maassilo venue. The Kool Kids are giving away 2 tickets for this event, so make sure you get them! For more info see below. The humongous line-up will feature the following artists:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Crookers</strong></li>
<li><strong> Tiga</strong></li>
<li><strong> Dr. Lektroluv</strong></li>
<li><strong> Digitalism (DJ set)</strong></li>
<li><strong> Erol Alkan</strong></li>
<li><strong> Vitalic (Selector DJ set)</strong></li>
<li><strong> Mehdi</strong></li>
<li><strong> Simian Mobile Disco (DJ set)</strong></li>
<li><strong> Fake Blood</strong></li>
<li><strong> Boemklatsch</strong></li>
<li><strong> Mehdi</strong></li>
<li><strong> The Proxy</strong></li>
<li><strong> Zombie Nation</strong></li>
<li><strong> Riton</strong></li>
<li><strong> Thomas von Party </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>In anticipation of the intense night you are almost sure of to experience, we&#8217;ve had a little talk with Aziz a.k.a. L&#8217;Azzizi (who will also play at the event). He&#8217;s the guy behind the Révolt events and responsible for this party.</p>
<p><a title="L'Azizzi on top of the Maassilo by Kool Kids, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thekoolkids/4535438029/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4535438029_764d78ced1_b.jpg" alt="L'Azizzi on top of the Maassilo" width="650" height="563" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Who or what is Aziz?</strong></p>
<p>Aziz aka L&#8217;Azizzi is DJ, Executive Supervisor in the nightculture and marrocan, and that all in one!  Also known as the cultural troublemaker/rebel/hooligan/yahoo since the scene left the crack of the door open to him.</p>
<p><strong>When someone wants to hang out with you, what can he/she expect?</strong></p>
<p>Free entrance and drinks all night long. No guarantee to get back to the hotel though.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favourite night out?</strong></p>
<p>If the interaction between the crowd and the music is like the one between me and the girl next door, those are the nights that work for me the best. If it&#8217;s the right timing, beautiful things might happen.</p>
<p><strong>How much do you love Rotterdam?</strong></p>
<p>I would give up my 1971 450 SLC and never eat KFC nor download any movie again to be in this city. My life would be over If I had too chose between that and Rotterdam. Thank god I don&#8217;t have to.<br />
<strong><br />
What kind of stuff do you do in the city of Rotterdam?</strong></p>
<p>Besides DJ&#8217;ing I try to be creative wit finding unique spots and gather some cool crowds to go nuts on the music that&#8217;s doing it for me right now. We did some crazy nights in movie theaters, brothels, closed animal farms (nothing unethical), parking terminals and crazy locations you wouldn&#8217;t think of for a party.<br />
<strong><br />
How important is are Revolt events to you?</strong></p>
<p>For now Révolt is doing some amazing things. Thanks to Mojo concerts there&#8217;s a blazing line up on the 29th of April in Rotterdam. There are 4 big rooms in an old factory that used to stock grain. There&#8217;s even one room on the tenth floor looking over the whole city.</p>
<p><strong>If you had to describe or express the crazyness of organising such an extraordinary event like this&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>First of all the line up is arranged thanks to Mojo concerts and after that&#8217;s it&#8217;s a smooth ride. People are talking about it for months and with only 2 weeks to go I can&#8217;t find the rights words to describe the crazyness. I keep daydreaming and reminiscing about Soulwaxmas (2008, at the same location). It&#8217;s going to be hard!</p>
<p><strong>Where can we get tickets?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you guys decide who to please with 2 guestlist spots and otherwise go to <a href="http://www.livenation.nl">livenation.nl</a> and look for Révolt.</p>
<p><strong>Can you tell us where the afterparty is for Révolt?</strong></p>
<p>I can promise you that there will be one. I&#8217;m playing for 6hours and there should be some kind of hadliner playing there too (I think).</p>
<p><strong>What are your plans for the coming year?</strong></p>
<p>Well Révolt is planning on to do some cool stuff. There are talks for an outdoor edition on top of a closed train station and another edition before the end of the year. Also I&#8217;m working on some cool collaborations and I&#8217;ll make sure to keep you guys informed.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your best gig so far?</strong></p>
<p>Closing at Soulwaxmas is by far the nr 1. I hope this show will return to Holland soon.</p>
<p><strong>Who&#8217;s the sickest dude out there according to you?</strong></p>
<p>Pffff there are many&#8230;. even local heroes are amazing me with the stuff they bring nowadays. If you&#8217;d put a gun against my head and made me choose I would go for Giorgio Moroder. I would love to have him play at Révolt some time.</p>
<p><strong>How Kool are you?</strong></p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t I just mentioned I own a 1971 450 SLC (google it).</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Win!</strong></span></h1>
<p>You can get 2 tickets from us! In order to get them, you have to do the following:<br />
Express you Koolness. Show us how Kool you are. It can be a video, an image, poetry or whatever. Just make sure you are the Koolest person ever to be found and those tickets will be yours!<br />
Mail your creativity to: <a href="mailto: contact@thekoolkids.com">contact@thekoolkids.com</a></p>
<p>We will mail the lucky winner on April the 25th, so hurry!</p>

<p>Niet vaak hoor je een mix waarin zoveel nieuwe muziek te horen is, maar een week geleden heeft <a href="http://www.myspace.com/borisdlugosch">Boris Dlugosch</a> voor <a href="http://www.stubru.be/programmas/audio/od100127borisdlugosch">Studio Brussel</a> ons een voorproefje kunnen geven van wat we begin 2010 kunnen verwachten. Natuurlijk kon zijn hit &#8220;Bangkok&#8221; niet uit de mix blijven.</p>
<p>Dit is de <strong>tracklist</strong>:</p>
<p>01. Fagget Fairys &#8211; Feed the Horse<br />
02. Dirty Disco Youth &#8211; Brains [Fukkk Offf Remix]<br />
03. Fukkk Offf &#8211; More than friends [Congorock Remix]<br />
04. Tom Stephan &#8211; Turn that shit up [Diplo Remix]<br />
05. Green Velvet &#8211; Turn it up<br />
06. Diplo &#038; Laidback Luke &#8211; Hey! [Sidney Samson Remix]<br />
07. D.I.M. &#8211; Kleine Träume<br />
08. Miike Snow &#8211; Silvia [Hugg n Pepp Remix]<br />
09. Boys Noize &#8211; Sweet Light [Boris Dlugosch Remix]<br />
10. Zombie Nation &#8211; Supercake 53 [Franz n Shape Remix]<br />
11. Boys Noize &#8211; Transmission [Tiga Remix]<br />
12. Hey Today! &#8211; Talk to me<br />
13. Riton &#8211; Computer Juice<br />
14. Sound of Stereo – Velcro<br />
15. Roel H &#8211; Dancing Bears [Phil Kieran Remix]<br />
16. Boris Dlugosch –Bangkok<br />
17. Idiotproof &#8211; The Deacon<br />
18. Artist Unknown &#8211; Snoops Acid Drop</p>
<p>Persoonlijke opvallers zitten vooral in het middengedeelte van de mix. De nieuwe D.I.M., een lekkere Miike Snow remix, een Boris Dlugosch remix van Boys Noize, een heerlijke remix van Supercake 53 van Zombie Nation, De Tiga remix van Boys Noize&#8217;s Transmission (wordt binnen enkele dagen gereleased), de nieuwe track van Hey Today! &#8211; die mij persoonlijk aan een mix van The Brainwasher/Satisfaction/Fukkk Offf/Arpeggio/SebastiAn doet denken &#8211; en natuurlijk Computer Juice van Riton, die aanwezig is bij de aankomende Rauw New Stijl!</p>
<p>Hoewel het mixen matig te noemen is &#8211; sommige tracks lopen niet synchroon bijvoorbeeld &#8211; moet je deze mix zeker beluisteren, vanwege een overvloed aan nieuwe muziek!</p>
<p>Je kunt de mix <a href="http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/42628925/file.html">hier</a> downloaden.</p>
<p>Zijn clubhit &#8220;Bangkok&#8221; voor wie hem nog niet kent:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Een recensie over het nieuwe, bij voorbaat al geniale, album van <a href="http://www.myspace.com/zombienation1">Zombie Nation</a> en een verhaal over hoe mijn verwachtingen en muzieksmaak in de weg zaten om de onmetelijke genialiteit van <em>Zombielicious</em> in te zien.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Zombie Nation - Zombielicious" src="http://www.creativereview.co.uk/crblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/zombielicious500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="446" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1902"></span><img class="alignright" title="Zombie Nation" src="http://www.timeout.com/newyork/resizeImage/htdocs/export_images/621/621.x600.clubs.q&amp;a.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="334" />Zombie Nation, het bekendste pseudoniem van de in München geboren Florian Senfter, is een uniek figuur. Hij is de laatste paar jaren wat rustiger aan gaan doen, maar in de tijd dat het door hem geproduceerde <em>&#8220;Kernkraft 400&#8243; </em>in elke club de fundering deed bibberen, wilde hij in zijn live-sets nog wel een komen opdagen in een leren SM-pak of, schijnbaar zonder enige reden, een emmer tomatensap over zijn hoofd gooien. Het siert de man die omarmd werd door grote namen van <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djhell">DJ Hell</a> &#8211; die verantwoordelijk was voor de release van Senfters eerste EP op <a href="http://www.gigolorecords.com">International Deejay Gigolo Records</a> &#8211; en <a href="http://www.myspace.com/svaeth">Sven Vath</a> &#8211; die Senfters andere pseudoniem <a href="http://www.myspace.com/johnstarlight">John Starlight</a> de kans gaf om diens geweldige track John&#8217;s Addiction uit te brengen op <a href="http://www.cocoon.net">Cocoon Recordings</a>. En velen jaren, tien om precies te zijn, na Zombie Nations immense hit en, inmiddels, techno klassieker <em>&#8220;Kernkraft 400&#8243;</em> levert hij zijn vierde album af, in navolging van <em>Leichenschmaus</em> (1999), <em>Absorber</em> (2003) en <em>Black Toys</em> (2006).</p>
<p>Download: <a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/54134206be043973/">Zombie Nation &#8211; Kernkraft 400 (zShare)</a></p>
<p>Ik zal eerlijk zijn: Zombie Nations samenwerkingsproject met <a href="http://www.myspace.com/officialtiga">Tiga</a>, onder de naam <a href="http://www.myspace.com/zztzzt">ZZT</a>, had mij de hoop gegeven op iets dissonant en rellend. Onmogelijk, dansvloer(on)vriendelijk en vernieuwend als de eerste single van ZZT: <em>&#8220;Lower State Of Conciousness&#8221;</em>. Maar qua sound zit<em> </em><em>Zombielicious</em> meer op een lijn met de laatste productie van ZZT, <em>&#8220;The Worm&#8221;</em>. De meeste tracks zijn niet zo zeer dansvloer geörienteerde, veelal omdat ze daarvoor te lichtelijk experimenteel zijn, maar de warme, analoge melodieën, rondgestrooide &#8216;vocal snippets&#8217; (veel oeh&#8217;s en aah&#8217;s), overheersende bassen en bij vlagen complexe drumstructuren, hebben meer weg van een degelijk &#8216;luisteralbum&#8217; dan van een met krakers overladen plaat.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/UKEDSYo_HMg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UKEDSYo_HMg" /></object></p>
<p>Daarnaast blijkt gelijk waarom Tiga zo graag samenwerkt met deze gast uit München. Sommige tracks op <em>Zombielicious</em><em> </em>lijken wel stiekem geproduceerd door de <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soulwax">Soulwax</a>-broers, die, zoals bekend, kind aan huis zijn bij Tiga (<em>Sexor</em> werd grotendeels door hun in elkaar gezet). Vooral de openingstrack <em>&#8220;Mas de Todo&#8221; </em>vertoond een aantal bekende Soulwax-technieken: overstuurde, bijna op hol geslagen synthesizers met een warme distortion (zie: <em>&#8220;Accidents &amp; Compliments&#8221;</em> op <em>Nite Versions</em>). Maar bij die referentie blijft het niet. Zombie Nations drumpartijen voelen snare voor snare live ingespeeld, iets wat de nummers van Soulwax ook kenmerkt. Het is net dat ene element dat een grotendeels door apparatus in elkaar gedraaide productie kan verheffen tot een werkelijk iets. Zoals Tiga zou zeggen: &#8220;real music&#8221;.</p>
<p>En het is juist dat waar Senfter hier naar op zoek lijkt te zijn. Dat hoor je nog het meeste terug in zijn hommage aan <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblin_(band)">Goblin</a> (bij de leken bekend van de sample die <a href="http://www.myspace.com/etjusticepourtous">Justice</a> gebruikte voor Phantom) <em>&#8220;Supercake 53&#8243;</em> en in de plotselinge mannelijke vocalen in &#8220;<em>Get It&#8221; </em>en <em>&#8220;Radio Controlled&#8221;</em> (is dat <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Homme">Josh Homme</a> van <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyuss">Kyuss</a>?). Het lukt de Duitser zowaar om veel van de tracks iets organisch mee te geven. Als dat niet een vocale toevoeging is dan is het de perfect uitgezochte cowbell wel of, zoals bij de eerder uitgebrachte single <em>&#8220;Worth It Pt. 1&#8243; </em>(de enige echte knaller van het album), een drumpartij die net iets te moeilijk is voor een &#8216;standaard&#8217; dansvloernummertje.</p>
<p>Ander belangrijk punt is de manier waarop <em>Zombielicious</em><em> </em>is opgebouwd. Veel albums, zoals <a href="http://thekoolkids.com/2009/03/01/review-shadow-dancer-golden-traxe/">de eerder door mij gerecenseerde <em>Golden Traxe</em> van Shadow Dancer</a>, verliezen aan kracht doordat de singles naar voren worden geschoven. Als luisteraar wordt je dan al vaak gelijk opgezadeld met het vuurwerk en een dynamiek of &#8216;flow&#8217; ontbreekt dan. Het tegendeel is van toepassing bij <em>Zombielicious</em>: de plaat bouwt rustig op om na de single <em>&#8220;Worth It Pt. 1&#8243;</em> (track 7 en daarmee precies het midden van het album) over te gaan naar een meer dansvloerbewust gedeelte, met tracks als <em>&#8220;Filterjerks&#8221; </em>en de geniale uptempo dubstep excursie <em>&#8220;Shottieville&#8221;</em>. Vanaf daar volg je een logische doch afgewogen weg naar de twee &#8216;zwaarste&#8217; nummers: de andere single van het album <em>&#8220;Forza&#8221; </em>en het unieke &#8220;<em>Bass Kaput</em>&#8220;: een track waar geen woorden voor te vinden zijn.</p>
<p><em>Zombielicious</em><em> </em>is geen dance-album. Als je zit te wachten op beuk- en sloopwerk of zelfs maar iets overduidelijk dansbaar, dan ben je hier aan het verkeerde adres. <em>Zombielicious</em> is daarentegen wel een plaat vol magische, vlekkeloos geconstrueerde tracks van een ongekend kaliber. Warm, opzwepend, aanstekelijk, uitermate Duits (denk aan de oude Gigolo releases) en telkens anders dan je verwacht. Zombie Nation heeft zo zijn eigen regels en zijn eigen grammatica. (Lees: een vierdubbele snarehit hoeft niet een climax te betekenen.) Daar zullen sommige aan moeten wennen. Sommigen zullen daar niet eens moeite voor doen en de sound wellicht net te minimaal vinden.</p>
<p>Om terug te komen op mijn opmerking in de eerste zin: ik was zo&#8217;n persoon. Toen ik <em>Zombielicious</em><em> </em>voor de eerste maal beluisterde vatte ik er geen hol van. Ik wilde bouncen, godverdomme! Maar toen realiseerde ik me dat ik door al die uptempo relmuziek van de laatste paar jaar volslagen geconditioneerd was geraakt. Ik was bijna vergeten dat een plaat niet gelijk hoeft te klinken als &#8216;electro&#8217; of &#8216; house&#8217; of wat dan ook. Dit was wat de <a href="http://www.myspace.com/crookers">Crookers</a> van de wereld met mijn muzieksmaak hadden gedaan. Bah. Om Zombie Nations nieuwste werk dan ook te waarderen moest ik terug naar de basis. Terug naar <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_D_James">Aphex Twin</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B12_(band)">B12</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/oizo3000">Mr. Oizo</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Channel">Basic Channel</a> en <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMX_Krew">DMX Krew</a>. De compromisloze innovatie; het unieke; het ongemakkelijke. Toen ik mijn liefde daarvoor weer had teruggevonden, kwam ik dan ook tot de onomkeerbare conclusie dat <em>Zombielicious</em> een briljante plaat is. Waarom? Simpel en alleen door een woord dat alles samenvat en het verbindt met de eerder genoemde meesters. Dat woord is &#8216;ambigu&#8217;. Grote kunst is altijd ambigu. Of we het nu hebben over een boek van <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Frederik_Hermans">W.F. Hermans</a> of een schilderij van <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandro_Botticelli">Botticelli</a>. Het kenmerkt zich allemaal door een zekere tweeslachtigheid. Er moet over nagedacht worden. Er is geen eenduidige consensus over wat het is of hoe het bekeken of, in dit geval, beluisterd moet worden. Het werpt de nodige vragen op en maakt het de toeschouwer niet makkelijk. Hierdoor ontstaat iets magischs: een dialoog tussen het werk en de toeschouwer. Dit zijn wij tegenwoordig niet meer gewend van muziek, laat staan van hedendaagse dansmuziek. Maar laten wij deze man uit München op onze knieën bedanken dat hij ons helpt herinneren dat het ook anders kan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Als ik één dj mee zou kunnen nemen naar een onbewoond eiland, dan zou het <a href="http://www.myspace.com/turborecordings">Turbo Recordings</a> labelbaas <a href="http://www.myspace.com/officialtiga">Tiga Sontag</a> zijn. Een ware meester achter de draaitafels en een artiest met een ongekend nichterige doch briljante image. Hij weet mij, en velen met mij, keer op keer te inspireren.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Ciao! Tiga" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/14m972c.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="700" /><span id="more-1269"></span></p>
<p>Toen ik dan ook vernam dat de release datum van zijn nieuwe album &#8220;Ciao! Tiga&#8221; vaststaat op 20 April maakte ik een ietwat nichterige vreugdedans. Niet alleen zal Tiga&#8217;s nieuwe album, de opvolger van zijn album Sexor uit 2006, in April uitkomen, maar hij komt in diezelfde maand ook naar de Amsterdamse <a href="http://www.paradiso.nl">Paradiso</a> en wel op Konninginnenacht! En dan, zoals de vier voorgaande keren, ben ik er gewoon weer bij.</p>
<p>Een mogelijk voorproefje van &#8220;Ciao! Tiga&#8221; is al te beluisteren op Tiga&#8217;s Myspace. De track heet &#8220;Overtime&#8221; en zit op één lijn met zijn eerdere werk samen met <a href="http://www.myspace.com/zombienation1">Zombie Nation</a>. Daarnaast lijkt de track enige <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soulwax">Soulwax</a> invloeden te hebben. Hoe dan ook geeft Tiga weer een hele eigen draai aan wat er allemaal mogelijk is in de brede electro scene. Oordeel zelf.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lang voordat <a href="http://www.myspace.com/etjusticepourtous">Justice</a> en <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soulwax">Soulwax</a> menig soppende groupie wisten te plezieren met intieme, op celluloid vastgelegde, beelden van hun levensstijl, kwam het legendarische <a href="http://www.gigolorecords.com/">International Deejay Gigolo Records</a> in oktober 2005 op de proppen met de documentaire Freak Show: The Real Gigolo History Movie. Een quintessentiële documentaire voor iedere aan electro, house en techno verslaafde jongeling.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="International Deejay Gigolo Records" src="http://i16.tinypic.com/34zavdg.jpg" alt="" width="729" height="416" /></p>
<p>Gigolo Records zal niet voor iedereen bekend zijn, maar het grappige is dat het label, op de toppen van het succes, veel doet denken aan het momenteel onvergetelijke <a href="http://www.myspace.com/edbangerrecords">Ed Banger Records</a> van <a href="http://www.myspace.com/busyp">Busy P</a>. Gigolo Records werd in 1996 opgericht door techno-legende <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djhell">DJ Hell</a> en bracht voornamelijk muziek uit die persoonlijk werd uitgekozen door Hell. De rode lijn in de enorm variërende releases &#8211; van <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jeffmills2006">Jeff Mills</a> tot en met down tempo electro &#8211; was dan ook de smaak van DJ Hell. En deze smaak was breed, heel breed. Het label stond dan ook binnen een korte tijd bekend als een onconventioneel cult-label. De populariteit was immens. Weet je nog dat hitje waarmee <a href="http://www.myspace.com/officialtiga">Tiga</a> doorbrak? &#8216;Sunglasses At Night&#8217;? Precies, die werd dus in eerste instantie uitgebracht bij Gigolo Records. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kittinmusic">Miss Kittin</a>? Jahoor, bij Gigolo. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/fischerspooner">Fischerspooner</a>? Wat dacht jij dan? Gigolo! Maar wat dacht je van <a href="http://www.myspace.com/boysnoizemusic">Boys Noize</a>: eerste single, &#8220;The Bomb&#8221;, kwam uit bij Gigolo Records.</p>
<p>Kortom: een documentaire was op zijn plaats. Freak Show, die ik kort na de release in 2005 bekeek, was een fenomeen. Niet dat iedereen elkaar liep te vertrappen in de winkels om de dvd in handen te krijgen, maar ik doel meer op de documentaire zelf. Deze opende mijn ogen. Niet zozeer voor Gigolo, maar voor de ontwikkeling van o.a. electro en van de artiesten die bij Gigolo zaten. In Freak Show zien we de eerste live registratie van &#8220;Emerge&#8221; van Fischerspooner, optredens van toen <a href="www.myspace.com/zombienation1">Zombie Nation</a> nog een leren pak droeg, Miss Kittins eerste live optredens en Tiga en Casey Spooner die katjelam &#8220;Sunglasses At Night&#8221; (proberen) te zingen. Prachtig! Ook Tiga&#8217;s haarstijl (een onovertroffen tachtiger jaren matje) mag niet ongenoemd blijven.</p>
<p>Naast dit alles zie je hoe op een ongedwongen stijl een label tot stand komt waar alles mocht en alles kon, als het maar werd goedgekeurd door de opper Ariër: DJ Hell. Zelfs Alexander Korda (kijk de docu en je zal weten waar ik het over heb&#8230;).</p>
<p>Freak Show is via de site van Gigolo Records nog te verkrijgen voor het luttele bedrag van tien pond. En aangezien de Engelse munteenheid nu zo slecht staat (1.10), raad ik jullie allen aan deze dvd even te bestellen! Hier: <a href="http://www.gigolorecords.com/data.pl?release=Gigolo150">http://www.gigolorecords.com/data.pl?release=Gigolo150</a></p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Freak Show DVD" src="http://www.hhv.de/images/cover5/45432.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;<span class="bign">There was a time when DJ Hell wasn’t DJ Hell but a certain boy named Helmut Josef Geier who swapped playing football with playing punk-rock records in a club in Bavaria. There was also a time when he was fed up with electronic music’s stagnation and realised that there was one simple formula that could work. That’s when he founded International DJ Gigolos: 1997. The manifesto of the IDG label read like a guidebook for modern living: Don’t hold back, release it. Everything is possible. Do what you want. This DVD now celebrates IDG’s 150th release. The label has since grown into a full-scale world of its own. “Gigolo Freakshow” also does something else — takes the viewer deep into the realms of past reality, into the lives of everybody involved; throwing a spotlight on those who attended the many parties, showcases, diners, meetings, hotel rooms, beaches all over the planet. Here, director Angelika Lepper has beautifully managed the areas of research and storytelling: Most of this material is previously unreleased, almost impossible to get. Private recordings, intimate film material and very rare moments of the artists’ lives are gorgeously compiled, so that the story of IDG is told yet again … but not by any journalist or reporter. The story is told by the artists, the Gigolettas, the people. We are invited to have dinner with Casey Spooner and Miss Kittin; we listen to DJ Hell when he hosts a conference in Mexico, in March 2002. We follow the Gigolos on tour through the USA in 1997, join them for a stunt on Siegessäule during the 2000 Love Parade and we witness the outrage and the madness of “Sonar Sunday“ when all hell broke loose. Slowly we drive into a Detroit that looks “like Bavaria, just flat with bigger trucks“. Policemen salute us, people scream, record cases are carried, stretch limos await the white satin knights, while light dawns on those still dancing. Whereas the label’s first release in 1997 predicted its own future as a 12-inch only venture, its fiftieth release was a book, and the hundredth was underwear by Agent Provocateur. Now this. ”Gigolo Freakshow“ is less about freaks than a sympathetically distorted family. A home for those who wanted more: of electronic music, of a party, who evolved, developed, thought and had fun at the same time. For whom there was more to techno than just rave. More to style than just a suit. In this family, women are ladies. Sex is important, as are funk and punk. Lepper allows us to take a look at the Gigolos’ and Gigolettas’ everyday life (everynight life). We understand why they became a bunch of warriors, and we understand their cause: good music, friendship and loyalty. Why it’s important to play straight, to play honest. It’s a family thing, with Hell as the daddy who looks like a playboy, behaves like a gentleman, lives like a jetsetter and plays like a punk. The DVD also clarifies some urban myths, for example: Legend had it that after two glasses of champagne Hell’s done for, which is not true. Legend also had it that you have to wear designer clothes to partake. Obviously that is wrong. IDG is not about overdoing the obvious. “Don’t show everything at once, hide things, play it slow, be subtle, be modern. Have fun.“ Misunderstanding IDG would mean to copy the surface. Understanding IDG works when you simply inhale the attitude. Dig into what lies beneath. “I don’t compromise with any track that is released; it has to fit in the gigolo universe,“ DJ Hell once said. The variety of this retrospective — bending from Fisherspooner via Zombie Nation to Tuxedomoon, DJ Hell himself and DJ Traxx — is wide, but it illuminates the star-studded sky over the Gigolo universe. It shows where the stars came from, where the stars went, which stars stayed, and the many stars who danced and partied and eventually made it all happen. The end is a beginning, because it is a question: “Where do we go from here?” For now: we salute you.&#8221;</span></em></p></blockquote>
