Since high school, my mate Robert Zile and I had a shared love of The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers and big beat style electronic music. I went over to his house one time and he showed me trance music he’d been making on this program called FruityLoops and I was pretty amazed – like anyone could make it (given enough time and practice haha) Well since then he hasn’t stopped making tunes, has honed his craft to a techno sound, and has seen his work released on labels around the world. I asked him some questions, so check em out after the jump, and then check out his tunes at the bottom!

“I dont get minimal techno” please explain.
Minimal can be pretty hard to listen to if you are not a big fan or never really heard it before. I do not and cannot listen to hours and hours of it. I suppose you need to experience it on a booming soundsystem in a small dark club/afterparty.. that’s when the magic happens! I do love playing a few minimal tracks in my sets but not too many. I think by only playing a few, it makes the minimal tracks stand out more. In saying all this, my best selling track is my quirky minimal remix of Tony Kanwischer – Moonhalo on Italy’s NBG Records. So maybe I should just shut up and make some more of it ahah

But there’s no peaks and troughs and it sounds like it’s building up forever and ever.
ahha I know what you mean.. but there is a time and place for everything. If you are playing to a room full of comatose patients, sending them on a neverending journey can be quite fun!

How would you describe your sound?
Probably a mixture of techno, house and a bit of electronica. I’m really not sure.. I like to make and play quite funky house music but I also enjoy the weird, afterparty type of tracks. Basically…tracks I like to call ‘face melters’ ahah.

You used fruity loops to make trance back in high school days… you’re still on it to this day yeah?
My secret is out!! Yes when I started producing, I made really crappy trance with Fruity Loops. I stopped playing video games and just focused on trying to make anything resembling a song. I had hours and hours of fun trying to make trance and basically just made things up as I went along. I am still using Fruity Loops but upgraded to FL Studio about 3 years ago. The next step is to finally learn how to use Ableton.. it’s on my to-do list, I swear!

Any hardware/equipment/instruments you like to play with or use?
I bought my first piece of hardware about two years ago, a Novation X-Station 25 midi keyboard. I am more software based but I do love plugging this baby in and messing around with it from time to time.

You’ve been noticed by some international dudes in your field… how does it feel to get some exposure and recognition?
It feels good!! It made me feel like I am on the right track and I thought well… if two of my favourite quality producers (King Unique and Hybrid) like my sound, then I must be doing something right. Before this, Valentino Kanzyani’s techno label ‘Jesus Loved You’ gave me quite a lot of positive feedback and encouraged me to keep sending them my demos. This reminds me, I should send them some of my new stuff!!

What are you listening to at the moment (any genre)?
I listen to all the promo tracks I get sent from record labels about twice a week, usually finding some seriously good music from artists I have never heard of (artists like me!!) Other than that I am listening to alot of Air, Modeselektor and of course, thy god Aphex Twin. Nothing partficulary new to be honest. Faith No More, Marilyn Manson, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Dandy Warhols would be the most played non-electronic artists on my trusty Ipod.

What do you like to listen to when out at a club or music event?
I like to listen to everything!! Punk, metal, ska, techno, breaks, house… I really do not care just as long as it is not cheesy.

What are you working on at the moment?
A 4 track EP for a new UK label ‘OTG Music.’ This new label is focusing on broken beats, acid and left-field type of tracks. So far the EP is sounding very weird and I cannot wait to finish it so I can freak people out at 5am with these little beauties.

I am also working on a pilot tv show that hopefully will be picked up by SBS (keep your fingers crossed haha). It’s called ‘Planet 31‘, we shot the pilot a few weeks ago and it looks great. The show focuses on local non-commercialsed talent from industries such as film, music, the arts, comedy and food. (How’s that for a plug.. bam!!) Sean Pary (host and creator of the show) found me on Myspace a few years ago and we kept in touch.. then last year he asked me if I wanted to be the house DJ for the show and write the theme music. I have never done anything like this before but I’m having a good time!! Check out the website – www.planet31.com.au

Who are you working with/remixing?
I am currently working with the owner of Italian record label ‘NBG Music‘ – Gabriele Brunno. We have the same influences in music and remix each others tracks frequently. I just finished a remix of his progresive house track ‘You Are’ that will be released on his label in about two weeks. He also just remixed my new track ‘Wake The Baby’ coming out on Subtec Records at the end of the month. I am also working with UK label ‘Red Robot Records‘ quite a lot. Just finished an 11 minute Ibiza style house remix that is getting very good responses from the label, the artist I remixed (Boss T) and listeners on soundcloud. Not sure when that will be released, hopefully sometime this year.

How come I havent really heard of these techno artists, is it because they’re up and coming?
Yeah I suppose you could say that! All the artists and labels I work with produce and release great underground music.

Also what soundcloud links would you prefer up for peeps to listen to?
Cool, thanks for having me!!

My soundcloud page is
http://www.soundcloud.com/robzile but here are a few tasty treats.

Rob Zile – Wake The Baby (Subtec Records) by robzile

Boss T – Alright (Rob Zile remix) – coming soon to Red Robot Records by robzile

Rob Zile – Colour Full by robzile

EDIT: And it didn’t last!! So give me a minute to pack the tracks up into a zip for you and put them here for your download pleasure.

And so the wait is finally over… Here’s the first round line-up announcement for Summadayze/Summafieldayze 2011:

David Guetta
N.E.R.D.
Justice
Armand Van Helden
Chromeo
Bob Sinclar
Boys Noize
Erol Alkan
Tinie Tempah
Miami Horror
Riva Starr
Dennis Ferrer
Claude Von Stroke
Aeroplane
Nervo
Plump DJ’s
So Me v. DVNO
Yuksek
Zombie Disco Squad

+ a ton of the best local acts of each capital city…

I must admit I am a little jealous that the Gold Coast gets the addition of Trentmoller, A-Trak and The Rapture. The last two are playing at Falls Festival from memory.  Maybe one of the other writers will post something about that festival… Of course you’re probably all aware that Armin Van Buuran is doing an epic 9 hour set here in Melbourne on NYE so that explains his absence at Melbourne’s Summadayze also.

Ticket’s go on sale nationally Thursday 19th August at 9am via Ticketmaster or your usual mob of promoters/industry folk… Any other info and for the line-up in your capital city, just browse on over to the Summadayze website.

Yo! So last week’s post didn’t really happen, chock-a-block busy with friends leaving, Lunar New Year, post St Kilda Festival shenanigans and personal stumbling blocks in the real world… But you’re not here for the whine, you’re here for music.

Anyway, this week’s post is mostly dedicated to the nu disco, electro/fidget bangers and big room tracks that have been given a fair lashing in the car, at work, home, gigs etc… Since I did miss last week’s post it only seems fair I bump up the quantity of tracks. Whether their quality I’ll let you decide… As usual, the files are after the jump.

Classixx – I’ll Get You (Featuring Jeppe)

“Do you like bass? Do you, do you bass?”

Can’t help but crack a smile when this tune gets played. In case you’re wondering who is offering the vocals to this nu disco pop gem, it’s Jeppe Laursen of Junior Senior (R.I.P.) fame. I do find it kinda ironic that for a track that features the line “Do you like bass?”, to be kinda lacking a solid bass beat. Not that it matter since it’s such an awesome track regardless.

The video is directed by none other than Mark “The Cobrasnake” Hunter. And in case you didn’t know, Classixx are playing Sorry Grandma! tonight so swing on by and enjoy some good nu disco fun. Be sure to mention that you’re on my guest list and use the password “Optimo“!

Donna Summer – Bad Girls (SonicC Bootleg)

Ah disco… I sometimes think that perhaps I was born in the wrong era because there would be no doubt I’d be out each weekend dancing away this stuff. Wait, I kinda do that now… Anyway, SonicC is on a good thing here by not messing around with the godfather Moroder‘s work here and tweaks the track enough that it wouldn’t sound out of sort on a d-floor today.

Lee Mortimer & Foamo – Superman (Original Mix)

While not as massive as the epic that is ‘Blau!’, this electro/fidgety track certainly is strong enough to stand on it’s own. A good track to use to shift a set up a notch after a chilled start. Well that’s what I tend to use it for…

Vitalic – Poison Lips

I swear that Vitalic has been inspired by or sampled Stardust who sampled Chaka Khan with the little bit of loopage at the start. Give it a listen and you’ll know what I’m talking about… This track is dark, sultry, sexy all at the same time… And I fucking love it! The video aint too bad either:

Absolutely love the 8-bit noises, distortion and squeaks that populate this track, and that haunting vocals remind me a little of Alison Goldfrapp. Some nice layered stuff here! Speaking of which, she’s got some new stuff out at the moment too…

Dustin Zahn – Stranger (To Stability) (Len Faki Podium Mix)

Perhaps I should retract my previous statement of ‘Poison Lips’ being dark as this track by Dustin Zahn kinda shits all over that… Dark, tribal, heavy and downright evil. If you dig the Proxy, or anything from that dark techno scene you’ll be a fan of this. Tell you what, once you take a step down the dark side in a set it’s kinda tricky to bring it back to a happy place haha! This one is definitely for the big room.

Duke Dumont – Hoy!

There’s something about Middle Eastern music that kinda sucks me in. Powerful and complex at the same time… This track in particular with it’s hypnotic use of drums/percussion and Arabic woodwinds and the whatnot puts me (and possibly you the listener…) into this tribal-like trance.

A-Trak x Drake x Birdman – Loonies To Blow

“I’m on my Disney shit, Goofy flow/ On records I’m Captain Hook and my new car is Ruffio/ Damn, where’d my roof just go?“

Electro hip-hop? Me likey! Throw in some nonsensical yet sharp lyrics and you’re on a winner. Watch this track cross boundaries of indie/hipster/commercial circles….

Sway – Mercedes-Benz

Wicked little sample of DJ Mark The 45 King‘s ’900 Number’. Yes, it’s not the first time this has been sampled, but hey, it works. The next party tune for your house warming. Did I mention that airhorns feature a fair bit throughout the track? Airhorns! YES!

Wondering if Sway got himself a car from this plug? Did I also see Pharrell in this video?

Dada Life – Let’s Get Bleeped Tonight (Tiësto Remix)

Ah the track affectionately know around our crew as “the one Tiësto dropped with the Beetroots backspin”. I don’t think I’m ever going to forget the night the Big T dropped ‘Blau!’ and followed immediately after with this killer.  Tiësto doing electro you’re probably thinking? Well it’s better than some of the stuff that is currently on ‘Kaleidoscope’… Oh schnapp!

Florence + The Machine – You’ve Got The Love (Jamie xx Re-Work Featuring The xx)

“You’ve got the love. You’ve got the love…”

Jamie from The xx remixing Florence + The Machine covering The Source/Candi Staton. Whew! Now that we got that out of the way… Bit of a chilled breakbeat vibe thanks to the stuttering snares and harps/strings to this remix which makes it a great choice to start off a set early on. The pitch bending/sampling of Florence’s voice in the chorus is also quite cool.

With Stereosonic just over a week away I thought I’d start throwing a few posts here and there featuring music from some of the festival’s line-up. Today I present you with those italo/ghetto/house crunkers the Crookers and their 2hr liveset at the Social Club in Paris. Tracklisting and download link after the jump.

Boys Noize at Future Music Festival 2010 + confirmation of Oz visit for Power World Tour = sideshow in March? Hmm…

Of course there’s more to be added and I’ll keep ya posted when that comes through…

Now I’ve already mentioned Erol’s Australian tour/sideshow in last night’s post… Today I’ve got the other half of the “Waves/Death Suite” duo in Boys Noize and his announcement of a world tour to promote the album “Power” due this October. Do we start speculating what festival Boys Noize might make an appearance?

In the meantime you can have a search around the net for some “Waves/Death Suite” goodness or enjoy the video to the track “Jeffer” off Boy Noize’s forthcoming album “Power”:

Sorry folks I completely let this one slip off the radar. Probably because the only news I heard about confirmed artists were the Beetroots and Chicane from my sources. That and I was unsure whether my trip back to the motherland was gonna be around December… Anyway, the lineup has been confirmed now and it looks to be pretty solid with the return of the ‘mau5 and the Italians. Anyway here’s you’re 2009 Stereosonic line-up:

• Deadmau5
• Axwell
• Fedde Le Grand
• John Dahlback
• The Crookers
• Surkin

Here are the tour dates for your city:

Sunday 29th November – Claremont Showground, Perth
Saturday 5th December – Bonython Park, Adelaide
Saturday 5th December – Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, Melbourne
Sunday 6th December – Eagle Farm Racecourse, Brisbane

Tickets go on sale August 20th so don’t muck about when that day rolls on through. So my fellow paparazzos (I think paparazzi is the correct plural term but meh…), are we ready to rock out?

That 90s dance/trance/tekkers sound is back people! Think Sash, Faithless etc… Whatever happened to Sash… Anyway, this is first track off Calvin’s yet to be released or titled new album which made its international debut up in Sydney during their NYE bash earlier this year. Yay for Australia, nay for it being Sydney…

I have a feeling this track is gonna get flogged a fair bit year. How flogged you might say? Let’s say if it makes a Ministry Of Sound or OneLove compilation, it’s flogged… Savour it now people before you have to get your music snob on with everyone.

Anyway, enjoy the great tune and experience the rather shithouse video.
