woolfy!!!
![]() Los Angeles , circa 1999 D- Hastie & Simon “Woolfy” James meet in a run down bar in downtown LA ..a pint ? aayy a pint will do fine .. you make music , I make music , let’s make music .. The two embarked on what’s become an eight year adventure .. Their first release on Chicago’s Guidance Recordings was Kingsburg , a track that’s appeared on many compilations , including house legend Tony Humphries at Fabric .. From there, the full length, Between Here & Now was released, which made serious waves on the electronic scene and put Projections on the map .. The lads have become well known in Los Angeles for their knock down drag ‘em out parties.. Dropping a concoction of spaced-out house , dubbed disco , funk & beard rock .. the dancefloors last forever .. As well as Dj’ing , Projections keeps busy in many other projects such as the disco-rocker outfit Woolfy on Rong Records (NY) , and the supa heavy funk band Orgone on Ubiquity / Nuff Rope Records (CA/UK) .. Projections has recently released a 12” on Rong , which receives heavy rotation by DFA frontman James Murphy .A new release on the laidback Permanent Vacation label called Return Of Starlight , and a cheeky edit on the Nuff Rope label out of London .. What’s in the future ?? A hell of a lot more … like a new record deal with Sunshine Enterprises and a resulting full length Album that will be released Spring 2008.
Originally hailing from London, Woolfy started hitting the clubs in Los Angeles '91, back in the Flammable Liquid era and later Does Your Mama Know, and onto The Harvey Sessions. Started dj?ing in '95, founded the deep house & funk club Pressure, and went on to be resident for Stereophonic at the legendary Fais Do Do. He started Projections with Dan Hastie (Breakestra / Orgone) in 2000 as well as the rude boy band Sounds From The Ward. Projections went on to be signed by Guidance recordings and released the lp „Between Here & Now” and various singles. He's also worked with Plant Life, Orgone & Pharcyde. While in N.Y. playing at TOTH (Turntables on the Hudson), he met Dj Spun of Rong Records playing at his local. A few bottles of rum later, Rong records was releasing the Woolfy / Projections split single, a few spliffs later and „If You Know What?s Good For Ya!!” was complete .. |

christopher just
Born in 1968 in Vienna, Christopher Just's career starts as a DJ in the Viennese “Motto” in 1982. Together with his studio partner DJ Pure he creates the Dada project “Ilsa Gold” and releases the first 12” “Up” on the label Mainframe in 1992. Catchy samples paired with an ironic breeze is the trademark of Ilsa Gold, the tracks “Up” and “Silke” become celebrated anthems of the Rave- and Technoscene with numerous performances all over Europe following. The release of the album “Die Zipfelmütze, der Handwagen und die Gummimuschi” in 1995 shows the “God of Techno” Sven Vath with a prick cap on the cover and provokes a middle sized scandal in Germany. In the same time Just publishes “serious” productions on the labels Cheap, Pomelo, Labworks and Test Tube and founds the the retro-hardcore label “Petra” in 1996. With “Punk Anderson – Shave That Pussy” he heralds the 80s trash revival and succeeds with “I'm A Disco Dancer (Gigolo / XL) in the worldwide clubscene. With the persiflage of a frustrated electronic nerd called “Gerhard” he shines on the label “Wiener Stadtwerke” and as Roy Edel he foresees a sad and folksy future to rave-music. In the following years Just's activities are limited to remixing, amongst others Pulp, Chicks On Speed, Stereo Total and Divine. In 2002 he strikes back with his own productions on Cheap and Giant Wheel and with “Acid Joseph” he covers the Ecstasy Club classic “I Love The Acid”. For the ten year anniversary of Ilsa Gold he produces the double CD „Regretten? Rien!“ on Mego and re-releases his album „Jeans & Electronic“ on the Combination Records' „Forever Young“ series. „House 2“ as a sequel to „House“ appears on Cheap in November 2004 and Just decides to focus all of his attention to the production of a long play record - his first since „Jeans & Electronic“ in 1997. „Roland Flick Fairmont Princess #1527“ is the result, describing Just's present ideas about producing electronic music for more than one decade. The first take of it „Popper“ is a co-production with his brother Raphael and portrays the euphoric and innocent feeling of the first Techno parties in the early 90s - a time far away from the current postelectronic reflexion. Current Releases: “Popper” 12” on Combination Records, April 2005 Album “Roland Flick, Fairmont Princess # 1527”, June 2005 related links: http://www.christopherjust.at http://www.myspace.com/christopherjust |

rodney hunter
Rodney Hunter has been around the hi-fi block a few times, literally. His first 'Big Timer' was leena conquest´s 1994 mammoth track 'Boundaries' which etablished him as a world-class producer and, along with the huge success of Kruder& Dorfmeister, was the tune that put vienna on the map. After ten years of crazyness, 71 (!!!) remixes and productions, two hiphop albums and a grammy nomination for a jazz arstist that he produced, it was in 2004 when he decided to release his first soloalbum called the hunterfiles (g-stone recordings) which is a 'sophisticatedly sweaty' album. Right now, Rodney Hunter is working on the followup of Hunterfiles which will be released soon. related links: http://www.g-stoned.com http://www.myspace.com/rodneyhunter |

aardvarck
Aardvarck rush the hour!! From the early 80s upto the present has been in the avantgarde of all major dance genres. Over the years, Den Bosch (The Netherlands) born Aardvarck (Mike Kivits) has built up a solid reputation of uncompromising quality and versatility in the electronic scene, first in The Netherlands as a DJ and later also internationally as a producer. Starting in the mid eighties as a DJ, playing ALL forms of dance music, he went through all the genres and trends dancemusic has seen over the past 20 years and has played about every club in Holland, including residencies at clubs like the Roxy, Vriesuis, Paradiso, Club 11 and Bitterzoet. Early nineties saw his first release as a producer, a techno record on the legendary Djax-Up-Beats label. It went quiet for a while on the recording side, until both Delsin and Rush Hour Recordings picked up on his music late nineties. The releases of some 12s on both labels led into the release of his much acclaimed Find The Cow album on Delsin in 2002, an eerie sounding electronic beats album. Not much later, Aardvarck made the move to reside in Amsterdam. It was here where he became really prolific on the club scene, partnering with the Rednose Distrikt DJ- collective, creating artistic freedom for themselves, playing anything from jazz, soul and hip hop to broken beat, house and techno. Being inspired by many different genres of music, he picked up one of his old loves; Techno. Once again he started producing some techno tracks, reminiscent of the early nineties Detroit sound, one of his big inspirations. He handed the first results results to Rush Hour, and the Cult Copy series was born, with Cult Copy 2 being the highlight so far, with many a big club DJ playing and charting this dancefloor monster. Now an album is cultivated. Nobody knows what the Cult Copy series will lead into or what Aarvarck will bring us next, but he sures lives on to being the legend they call the Aardvarck. releases: well well well cult copy cult copy 2 cult copy 3 re-spoken nubian minds related links: http://www.rushhour.nl http://www.myspace.com/aardvarck |

dj jürgen drimal
Born in Eisenstadt and raised in Wulkapodersdorf, Jürgen Drimal developed his passion for music at the tender age of nine, which should coin his path of life decisively. The stepping stone for his musical evolution was the purchase of some Motown records. This was the decisive stimulus for taking keyboard lessons in the years to follow. By aid of his later next door neighbour, no other than Jazz drummer Idris Muhammad, Drimal’s love and knowledge for and about Black Music blossomed and he absorbed all shades of Funk, Soul, Jazz, R’n’B, Brasil and Latin.His further way was the logical consequence of a passionate love affair with music. The stations he took were the following: Starting with a short tenure as a record dealer, he opened his own enterprise at the age of 19. It didn’t take long for Jürgen Drimal to make a move to Vienna, launching his record store "Cool Vibes" in the centre of Austria’s capitol. Besides his occupation with the record market, Drimal has already been DJ-ing in various clubs since he was 16. Eventually, in 1994 he underwent his first attempts to become a producer of electronic music and this venture led to the release of "Time Zone" in 1996, a corporation with Jochen Reiter. Inspired by the amazing potential of Vienna’s DJ scene and the obvious lack of a platform for releases, Drimal developed the compilation project "Vienna Scientists" in 1998. Functioning as a forum for DJs and Producers alike, it gave Austrias Electronic New Skool the possibility to showcase its skills and styles. In the spring to follow, Jürgen Drimal founded his own label "Vienna Scientists Recordings" which by now proudly presents its 16th release "Vienna Scientists IV - Five Years Of Solid Grooves", to be launched in May this year. Parallel to the foundation of the label, Drimal and his fellow music producer Gernot Ebenlechner teamed up in order to release their very own musical ideas. They christened their offspring by the name of "Freedom Satellite" which is about to mature to LP – length only this year. related links: http://www.viennascientists.com http://www.myspace.com/juergendrimal |

dj rubedo
dj rubedo (sugarfactory amsterdam) "le big beat royale" dj, rubedo, formerly known as dj Polak (his real name is Jacek Rajweski) is one of the most influential underground dj’s of Amsterdam. He is also the co-owner of todays hottest club of that town “nighttheather Sugarfactory” . His music is a wild and edgy mix of "uptempo breakbeat". Electronic music, funky house and new disco. his set in motto will be a set that has been designed for motto specifically by Rubedo. in the late 90tees Rubedo was one of the co-founders of the legendary club vegas in Amsterdam. On these clubnights he played sets of dancefloor jazz, big band, club pop, lounge and easy listening, mixed with contemporary rare independent releases. Today Rubedo is the producer of the monthly club night discocult at sugarfactory, where he is resident dj. Discocult is a steaming hot mix of local and international electronic beats. Funk, jazz, electro, disco, latin and glamrock are mixed into a steaming hot melange of new music. from the beginning Rubedo wanted that the dj's are no longer just guys or girls who just put a record on. At discocult, contact between the dj and the crowd is very important. Because only that way the best music can be created. discocult is a dj plattform for local and international turntable artists, who have achieved status internationally. but this is not the only reason why discocult is so special. All discocult dj's are masters of the mix. original tracks are being bashed and cut with and into exiting new songs. many dj´s who play at discocult produce their own musik and are actively involved in the music industry. Dj Rubedo presents the best, most futuristic and boundary-less mix of 'melodic dance electronica'. It is a fascinating combination of rockin' and funky electro house, electro breaks, electro hip hop, new disco, hard edge club pop, post-punk, big beat and... a large dose of humour. One could say that dj Rubedo has laid a milestone with the discocult clubnight. many international dj's have been his guest at discocult: Ursula 1000 (USA), Monophonic (Producer of the Phazz-a-delic label, Germany), Morpheus (former Minimal Compact, Belgium), Pepe Braddock (Parisian DJ and producer of Atavisme), Alex Smart (a.k.a. Streamer), Mr. & Mrs. Cameron (yes, those from Arling & Cameron), BiggaBush (former rockers HiFi, UK), Dublex (Pulver Records, Stuttgart) and Malente (Germany). Now Rubedo is back in Vienna. And he is ready to kick some.... beats!!!! Related links: http://www.sugarfactory.nl http://www.clubvegas.nl http://www.myspace.com/discocult |
