| Feature: The rise of DC10’s Davide Squillace Posted: 11 Dec 2008 03:29 PM CST If this summer you found yourself engulfed by techno amid the darkened chasm that is the inside room of Ibiza’s infamous DC10 club, then chances are you were dancing to Davide Squillace. Beatportal's Ryan Keeling traveled to his hometown of Naples to learn more about his brand new F.R.I. DAY parties, the method behind his DJing madness, and of course his life-affirming DC10 residency. |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2008 01:33 PM CST Featured earlier this year on the fourth installment of Andy C’s 'Nightlife' series, this track is perhaps one of the most unique tunes to come out of the drum & bass scene this year. With more emphasis on its 4/4 structure and less on the breakbeats, this offering from d&b new boy Culture Shock washes over, sounding like a hybrid between Etienne De Crecy and Sub Focus. |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2008 10:52 AM CST Yes, it’s that 10 minute epic, nu disco belter with the infectious piano loop that BBC Radio 1 resident Annie Mac has been bludgeoning our speakers with. Mehdi’s hook-laden construction has been re-assembled by the nu-disco wonderkid Joakim into a pastiche of separable elements and structures, with an underlying current of progressive space disco. |
| Posted: 11 Dec 2008 08:00 AM CST Johnny D is the embodiment of the global citizen, and a by-product of globalisation. Born to African parents, Johnny D aka Johannes Debese grew up as an Eritrean immigrant in Mannheim, Germany after his parents escaped Eritrea and its 31-year long war. As a child, his parents dragged him to benefit parties for Eritrean refugees in Germany that were organized to help the people that didn't make it out of the country. "I was still a little kid and can remember that the parties were really impulsive and went on until the morning," he reminisces. "The lyrics of the songs were filled with stories about the war and were very passionate. The songs could sometimes last for 20 to 30 minutes and people danced all night long. "This had a great influence on me and my understanding of music and parties." He's one of our Top Artists of 2008. |
