Our 14 Podcast comes from Sepp

Sepp aka Teo, borned and raised on the Romanian Black Sea Coast, had his first contact with the electronic music in 2005, when he listened for the first time various artists from the Cocoon rooster. From that moment he became passionate about techno sounds.

Since 2007 he was topping the bill at the biggest events in the city ’till 2008, when he became the resident of the LaMania club. After 3 years of residence, he decided it was time for production. Artists like Cezar, Cristi Cons, Valentino Kanziani used Sepp’s unreleased work in their sets.

He shared the dj stand with Cezar, Priku, Kozo, Dan Andrei, Cristi Cons, Paul Agripa, Noidoi, Bill Patrick, Livio & Roby, Nima Gorji, Thomas Melchior and a few others.

Now, Sepp’s attention is turned toward some unfinished projects which will be released through this year.

Romanian duo Livio & Roby, together with their pal George G, sometimes like to play with words, make anagrams or combine formulas. As a result of this game, they derived a name „Premiesku“ for their mutual project, suggesting „premiere“ which resonates as a Romanian name. That is what their collaboration is about – a unique new experience, which is already gaining accolades from many party heads, acclaimed music professionals and opinion leaders.

RThe name reflects the music: crossing of their diverse vibrant inspirations and moods breeds a new concept of genuine, recognizable sound. As a virtuoso audio engineers, they intelligently structure their (sometimes) heterogeneous ideas into powerful and dynamic compositions that catches the heart, the body and the mind of a listener. Compact „four to the floor“ patterns, inspired with classic deep house, Detroit techno and tech house are switched up and deconstructed, resulting in a hypnotic brew. Driving and energetic solid grooves are fused with a plethora of colors and sonic twists, ranging from Balkan cultural heritage to surreal theatre. Their outstanding production has been released on influential labels such as Cecille, All In, Desolat.

RDuring everyday studio sessions of experimenting and fitting the pieces of their imaginary worlds together, computers with straightforward and intuitive softwares are a necessary tool. But digital environment is not enough for expressing all those subtle feelings and stories they want to tell. Essential tools for this transmission are music instruments; they are vital for articulation of emotions, and sharing it with the audience. That is why Livio, Roby and George decided to leave the virtual world aside and create a real, analog environment for their live performances.

RThey did what no one did before – designed three special consoles consisted of parts of various machines. These hardware racks are tailor-made based on their draft, put together by an old fellow in a workshop in the heart of Romania. A inimitable gadget for each one of them is their vision of playing electronic music without computer. With this innovative setup, they have entered the era of their analog sound! The concept is launched at Time Warp Lab in Mannheim on March 31 2012. Guys presented their machines at the workshop „Premiesku analog sound“ organized by Desolat, explaining the new way of playing using the examples from their debut album “Constant” which will be released on Desolat in September. Also, their fresh ideas are presented through their latest release – “indirect” EP released on Desolat in May.

Samara Moss caught up with Premiesku ahead of their UK debut at Rhythmatic

Hi guys!

Q. So, how did Premiesku come about? When did the three of you decide to get together?

A. We had been thinking about it for a long time. We wanted to create a real live project and here it is.

Q. Tell us a bit about the project? Where did the name come from and what is the aim?

A. It’s a techno project, live and studio. We have a Romanian flavored name, we played with some words, actually it’s not a real work, but it has Romanian character. Our aim is to make people dance.

Q. What makes Premiesku different from other DJ collaborations?

A. First of all it’s an analog live project, which is a little bit different we think.

Q. Explain the analogue aspect to the project? How does this work?

A. We were sure that we wanted to skip a setup that revolves around a computer and Ableton live. We considered that it’s nice to present our live concept relatively similar to our studio setup and basically really close to our way of creating the music. It’s true that it’s more difficult to install everything and it also needs a lot of attention during the sound check, but in the end it makes sense. So with the help of a very good friend, we designed three consoles which fit perfectly into our live act.

Q. Do you work well together as a trio? Do you each fulfil different roles…e.g. is one more organised, is one more creative, is one more technical etc?

A. We are all the time together in the studio, we have a nice vibe and each one of us is doing his own thing, more or less described in the question

Q. How long was your debut album ‘Indirect’ been in the making?

A. It took a couple of months, the exact time we don’t really know.

Premiesku Live @ Amnesia Ibiza Cocoon party 02.07.2012

Q. What can we expect from the album?

A. Right now the album it’s out on the web with some snippets, so everybody can hear a little bit of it. At some point it’s more experimental and deep, we wanted to create a “no rules” album.
Of course you’ll find some groovy tracks as well.

Q. Are you looking forward to the album launch at Rhythmatic? I understand you have already played as a group at huge events such as Richie Hawtin’s ENTER this summer, what made you decide Rhythmatic was the best fit for the album launch?

A. We are really looking forward to the launch party. We love Rhythmatic, we played for them before as Livio & Roby and we had an amazing time.
We totally believe it’s the right place to launch our album.

Q. How has the analogue set up been received so far? What kind of reactions have you had and did you get when you revealed the set up at Time Warp Lab in March?

A. Of course everybody is curious, we have good reactions from the people.
The Timewarp lab it’s a really fine place and was an interesting experience, we didn’t expect much, but we were totally surprised to see the audience getting involved. We had the opportunity to present our stuff and worked out.

Q. What else is in store from Premieksu this year and going into 2013?

A. For the moment the album and of course the live act. But we always like to prepare new stuff so let’s see

After a short summer break, Rhythmatic makes a refreshing return with a UK debut from Premiesku, the mutual project between Romanian duo Livio & Roby and George G. September 22nd sees Rhythmatic present the Premiesku ‘Indirect’ album launch party.

The name, which suggests ‘premiere’ in their home country of Romania, represents everything the collaboration is about, a unique experience and a new concept that has swiftly gained recognition on the music scene, from well-known and respected industry professionals to educated party revelers. The digital environment is not enough to express what these three want tell, with their diverse mix of inspirations, ideas and moods, Premiesku have pushed aside the virtual world and done something very rare. Designing three special analog consoles, this innovative setup has launched them into an era of analog sound.

Witness first hand Livio, Roby and George play entire sets, without computers and using tailor made hardware racks, an unmissable experience. Their live sets have excited crowds from festivals to Ibiza, with successful appearances at the likes of ENTER, Cocoon and Space. Expect to hear a sophisticated blend of classic deep house, Detroit techno and tech house, as they showcase the upcoming debut album, ‘Indirect’ due for release on Desolat in September. The trio’s dynamic compositions have already been picked up by influential labels such as, Cecille, All Inn and Desolat.

The September event also welcomes back two truly missed residents, Stathis Lazarides and Wesley Razzy. Stathis, having spent the summer playing next to huge names such as, Ricardo Villalobos, returns to his London home at Rhythmatic. After spending the last few months on the White Isle, Wesley brings his new wealth of experience, inspiration and soul from the techno and house music mecca, back to one of the original boundary pushing parties to resonate from the capital.

Rhythmatic are very excited to celebrate adding yet another forward thinking act to their roster and look forward to seeing all the new and regular faces, as we finally draw closer to the next installment of Rhythmatic parties.

Nightclubber has distinguished itself, over the last four years, as an open and broad minded platform that has become involved in all the cultural aspects within electronic music.We find music to be an intense and powerful thing that brings people together, so we have aimed at showcasing the best quality underground music out there, for the people that just enjoy a well thought out and unique experience. Our passion extends to the modern and diverse, but also towards the pioneering old school that has left us such a mindblowing heritage consisting in a vast array of layered sounds.

Without further ado, we would like to announce our first UK Showcase in London on the 21st of April to host a party featuring UK debuts by Vlad Caia, Rayo and No Hype that we feel will deliver a new dimension of organic sounds.

??????????????????

? Vlad Caia

is one of the most eclectic Romanian artists which started to shift his focus towards more sound experimentation in order to break free from the already ‘standardized’ rules of electronic music, a move that opened new ways and approaches to sound synthesis and arrangement, clearly visible in Amphia‘s label core concept and sound signature, that he founded together with Cristi Cons.

? Rayo

is known for being one of the residents at Arma17 Moscow since 2008. He has shared the DJ booth with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, A:rpia:r, Cassy, Zip, Magda, Bruno Pronsato, Maayan Nidam, and many other well known underground artists. He is known for his distinctive style , multi-layered sound and mostly for his very late afterhours sessions.

? No Hype

originating from Romania, currently living in the heart of Germany, describes his sound as a stable mixture of minimalistic and deep house, a mosaic of slippery beats and soundscapes.

Our 5th Podcast comes from No Hype.

No Hype (Nighclubber, Romania)

Facebook fan-page
RA page

No Hype, or Adonis Ichim, comes from Ploiesti, a city not far away from the crazy night-life in Bucharest. He finds inspiration in nature, small crowded places and maybe most of all, people and the actions between them. Now living in the heart of Germany, his sound is made up of a stable mixture of deep, minimalistic house, and a mosaic of slippery beats and soundscapes.

The main idea behind No Hype is that electronic music isn’t always about a hook-line that you remember, or something that listeners are going to sing next day. Producing music is a particular inner call that can evolve into moods which influence his temper.

Rhythmatic’s sister party, Rhythmatic Intimate Sessions, has showcased some of the most talented and uprising artists since its launch 2 years ago. With names and talent such as Fabio Giannelli, Den Ishu, Gavin Herlihy, Chris Carrier, M.in, Patrick Kunkel, Gorge, Kreon, Lemos – the list goes on!

At our last gathering for 2011 “Rhythmatic Intimate Sessions” hosted their very first party at an intimate basement venue after holding a monthly residency at Cargo for over a year. No one expected it to be so good, but our residents (Stathis, Wesley and Archie) did a great job keeping the crowd eager for more and made sure it went off with a bang by the time Fabio Giannelli came on and sent the whole venue into a frenzy.

Rhythmatic Intimate Sessions is back on the 4th Feb, with a very special guest from Romania, Priku, who is debuting at our first party for 2012.

Priku played together with most of the Romania talents and also the warm up sets for Marco Carola, Zip, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Troy Pierce, Pascal FEOS, Cassy etc. The summer of 2008 brought him his first international gigs, in Ibiza, Italy, UK, Belgium, Kazantip and many others. Producing is the next step that Priku wants to make and he is working really hard in this direction. In 2009 his first ever release came out on Sinusoid Records label in Italy.

Priku will be joined by our residents, Stathis Lazarides and Archie Hamilton and we welcome back to our decks, Ceri, a young talented lady that will be a regular feature on our nights. Looking forward to seeing you all at our first Rhythmatic Intimate Session for 2012.
