Interviews

“When Dr Mabuse was in the German charts in the early 80s, I was still finishing school, then as soon as I finished, Propaganda started a world tour and we had this enormous immediate success. But our record contract was really awful, we had bad management, telling me ‘get rid of them’ and them to ‘get rid of her’. And in a way, before too long, everything fell apart.”

Music Reviews

“it takes something to like all 11 tracks but I genuinely believe Push The Button is our ever best record.”

Sitting in a corner of his local Notting Hill pub, Ed Simons admits he’s quietly confident about the prospects for the Chemicals’ new album, which seems reasonable given the fantastic reaction its had from (most) press and more importantly clubbers. Lead track and first single Galvanise, has already been rocking London dance floors from Turnmills to Nag Nag Nag to Wasted Youth, reflecting both its genre crossing hybrid appeal, and the fact that the dominant trend of 2005 is genre-crossing hybrid mashups of music. And Push The Button, with its myriad of styles underscored by their trademark bock rocking beats is both of its time and of the Chemicals; familiar yet impressively fresh.

Love Da Records is putting together a Hong Kong electronica compilation and is hunting down submissions from both "already in the scene" and "bedroom" DJ's.  The submission needs to be in by the beginning of February as they are looking to do a spring CD release.
There are no royalities, as Love-Da-Records, is probabaly looking at just breaking even after production costs, but it is a great opportunity to get yourself heard by the masses!

Red Bull Runs Wild at Klong Bar & Grill

High-Energy Thrills Promised at January 29th Party

Klong Bar & Grill is about to become the scene of one of the most explosive parties of 2005. On the night of January 29th a new power will be unleashed on patrons, who are hereby warned. That’s the Red Vision, Fly With Red Bull night.

From 10:30pm to sunrise all partygoers will enjoy double shots of vodka (or other spirits) with a can of Red Bull for $85. The effect of spirits, of course, is well known. Add to that Red Bull, the high-octane energy drink, and you have a potion which both releases inhibitions, boosts energy and excitement. The bottom line: watch out!

Additional energy will be provided by the music of Steve Yau, who will rock the entire place with bone-shaking retro sounds. Pole dancers in Red Bull outfits will add to the mix, which includes music, dancing, drinking and general wildness.

This is the only place to be on the 29th. So watch for the Red Bull Mini Cooper parked outside the Klong and Red Bull girls pouring shots. Come explore a powerful alternative energy source at the party event of the season.
