Sladkih 13 z Nightmoves

Še 3 dni do pustne pralince. Matt odgovarja na srednjedolgočasnih 4kinih sladkih 13. Ponovno preleni za prevod.

1. Where do you come from and how did you get involved with music?
I come from a small place in the north east of England called Durham. Its lovely there but very boring, so I got out of there by pretending to do a degree in Nottingham. That’s where I started DJing. I was already into dance music through my brother who went to uni in Manchester and used to bring back tech house records and other stuff which I found very exciting when I was about 15 in Durham, so started buying my own and DJing in my bedroom.

2. Where and how do you live now, does the place (city, country) somewhat reflect in your music?
I live in London now which is great for DJ gigs and going out as there is so much going on and lots of variety, however I haven’t being here very long so London hasn’t yet had much of an influence over my music. We’ll see.

3. Do you have some classic music training?
I have no musical training at all.

4. Were your parents supportive when you started your production/DJ career?
Yes they were. Although it took them a while to realise you could actually make a living from it, so at first I kept being ask when I was going to get a ‘proper job’. Actually I still get asked that now.

5. Do you follow trends (music, fashion,…) and does your current music style reflect what’s trendy right now?
At first I did, when electro was really exciting a few years ago. When I was first doing gigs in Nottingham I was obsessed. I’m moving on now though and trying to do my own thing. I’m really into a much deeper sound and disco now, which seems to be getting quite trendy now but not exactly mainstream like electro has become.

6. Which country/music scene has the most creativity in musical output right now?
Disco producers and labels like DFA in New York are making some amazing stuff at the moment. There isn’t a huge amount of it but the quality is really high which is the most important thing. In London everyone is having a go but there’s a lot of rubbish around.

7. Favourite album of all times?
Power, Corruption and Lies by New Order.

8. Why is/are you best friend/s your best friend/s?
You can rely on them to have a good time and make you laugh and stay up late drinking and act like idiots.

9. Favourite computer game?
Final Fantasy VII.

10. Best breakfast food, best »I’m drunk and it’s 4 in the morning« snack?
Bacon sandwhich for breakfast, fried chicken or Zinger Tower Burger when I’m drunk.

11. If there were no limits (space, time, endangered spieces…) – what pet would you most love to have?
A Jack Russell called ‘Geoff 200’. A dog will always be the ultimate pet. Was I supposed to say T Rex or something?

12. What are you most proud of in your life?
DJing in my bedroom and thinking one day I’ll do it for a living, then going out and doing it.

13. Words to live by…
Don’t drink and dial.

Noč se premika proti K4 (10 dni in odštevamo)

Čeprav sem od prve Smetnjakove zvočne polucije zamudil že prenekateri avtobus, se nastali odpad še vedno ni popolnoma razgradil. Po otvoritvenem razdejanju se umazanija vrača na pustno soboto, trdovratnejša kot kdajkoli prej. Ob rejv! stilski zapovedi bo krvnik higienskega minimuma tokrat patron iz Nottinghama, Nightmoves imenovan.

Nightmoves je poleg kolosov kot sta Digitalism eden izmed adutov kunštne francoske založbe Kitsune, ki se je po vzponu benda Klaxons znašla v središču “nu rave” medijskega pompa. No, na Smetnjakovi deponiji se ni znašel zaradi hajpa, temveč zaradi veščin pri tresenju ušesnih membran. Nightmoves je brada zrastla predvsem kot posledica njegovih remikserskih sposobnosti. Po tem, ko so ga zloglasni Klaxons (dvakrat!) najeli za predelavo njihovih futurističnih kompozicij, je knobe in fejderje premikal za škotske umazance Shitdisco, njegovemu popačenju pa se ni izognil niti britanski karaoke king, Robbie Williams. Nightmoves se je znesel tudi nad poletno himno Dance To Our Disco londonskega dueta Punks Jump Up, ko je iznekazil Mylotovo predelavo komada No More Conversations britanskih Freeform Five pa remiksal celo remikse. S takimi in podobnimi akrobacijami si je pridobil simpatije samega Erola Alkana, ki ga često poprosi za ogrevanje gramofonov. Njegov zadnji dosežek je remiks komada Bathroom Gurgle občečislane najstniške senzacije Late of the Pier, ki ga je revija NME uvrstila med naj 10 komadov lanskega leta. Pripravite se torej na absolutni “zmaga, stari” bibličnih proporcij, z dudami, glow-sticki in gamaši kot obvezno opremo.

Koda oblike in obleke: REJV!
(poleg občih rejverjev so dobrodošli tudi rejv kavboji, rejv medicinske sestre, rejv nune in rejv reinkarnacije Jima Morrisona)

Nekaj municije:
Metal On Metal – No Front Teeth (Nightmoves remix)
Klaxons – Atlantis To Interzone (Nightmoves remix)
Freeform Five – No More Conversations (Mylo remix (Nightmoves remix))

Trije (z)witty naslovi in en zavrnjen miks

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) – Take Ecstacy With Me
Foals – Modern Art Is For Pricks
Black Kids – I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You

In še zadnje, a ne najnepomembnejše (to je dejansko beseda): miks, ki sta ga Justice zašprudlala za serijo Fabric, a so ga tovarnarji zavrnili (?!!). Tule.
