1000 Names - YES YES YALL Interview
http://www.yesyesyall.org
1000names was generous enough to put together a mix for YYY and now it has arrived. Cookie Pussy Mix is an hour long journey into the mind of Bulgarian natives Casio Blaster and 99 Mistakes. We’ve posted on this duo before, but now its time for a formal introduction. Below is an interview we recently scored, mix cover art by YYY.
Where did you get the alias 1000names?
It comes from series of works made in the mid 80’s by the English sculptor Anish Kapoor.
Where are you currently living?
Sofia, Bulgaria but also everywhere else here and there.
What’s the culture there like? The music scene?
Mainly house and d’n‘b stuff, a little bit of old skool, funk, hip hop parties, but things are about to change as more and more people get involved in different styles.
What sparked your interest in beat making?
It’s a life time adventure, but as 1000names we makes beats for 3 years now. 99 Mistakes has been producing for 4 years before that and painted meanwhile. Casio Blaster started drumming at the age 14 until he decided to stop sweating 3 years ago.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Old stuff, space era, from 50s atom panic till 80s-90s game graphicizm.
When do you find time to produce music?
All night till dawn, try to stay on it all the time.
Is there anyone producing music today you would like to collaborate with?
We like to jam on stage with Fulgeance and Lilea Narative and thats the kind of collab we enjoy most at the moment.
If you could produce an artists album who would that be?
Somebody who would move in our studio and live dedicatedly for the project.
What movie soundtrack would you like to remix?
Taxi driver.
If you could only use 5 albums to sample from your whole career, what albums would they be?
Raymond Scott – Manhattan research
Sun Ra – Lanquidity
Curtis Mayfield – Curtis
Gil Scott-Herron – Pieces of a man
Tuff Crew – Phan jam(so def)
Tell us a briefly your goals for 2009, your thoughts on the global music scene, and anything interesting you’d like to share about yourself.
On 27th of february our debut album will be out for Eklektik Records, then March we plan a tour in France and around Europe. hope to get on some good festivals in the summer and then some more EP 7 inch for the same label. for us global music situation gets more and more unusual, innovative and independent. with direct contact between the artist and the audience through i-net. collaborations and quick interaction between diverse producers lead to fast developed directions. its exiting to live in the musical present future days.

The Eklektik Records label continues its excellent run of releases with the new ’Worth Making A Noise About’ EP by Bulgarian beat illuminati 1000Names. Casio Blaster and 99 Mistakes continue their assault on auditory canals and speaker stacks worldwide, with 6 digi sound collages filled with beautifully crafted broken soul; further pushing the boundaries of their now trademark eklekto-hip-hop grooves. The release also features a collaboration track with UK producer Jackhigh (Up My Alley - Beatnicks series) and some very special artwork by the deftly chic Ms. Alice Dufay. Both label and crew are firm favourites at Nuff Stylee and so it continues…Bang the drum!

"C’est avec joie que nous vous annonçons la première réalisation officielle de deux producteurs bulgares de musique très prometteurs. Casio Blaster et 99 Mistakes, plus connus sous le nom de 1000names, signent une face d’un single comportant deux morceaux – "Moonwatcher" de 1000names et "Freakshow" du Français Dr Raphaël. Nos garçons ont déjà leur propre style reconnaissable grâce aux nombreux breaks et samples, et le morceau avec lequel ils participent au vinyle, est un vrai petit bijou. Vous pouvez commander le single sur www.eklektikrecords.com ou bien attendre qu’il arrive en Bulgarie. V. T." |

"Eklektik Records drops 'Double Face Volume 1', a split release with a simple basis at its heart; bring together two opposing forces or styles on one release for all to hear (Eklektik!). First up is Dc's aptly titled ‘Freakshow’, where pounding minimal tech vibes and sinister vocals seamlessly meld into a gloriously deep French electro funk. 1000Names provide the opposites in ‘Moonwatcher’, who's off kilter broken drums, punctuated bass stabs and other worldliness sweep you into a sweet chorus of strings and vocals...Truly Eklektik!" |

01/2008 (PETER DIGITAL ORCHESTRA) by SLUG
http://pastallconcerns.over-blog.org
| Non, la musique électronique française ne se résume pas seulement aux vaines tentatives de Mirwaïs ou autres artistes que je ne préfère pas citer, quite à me faire traiter de puriste; tant pis... Pour apprivoiser le son en tant que matière première, il ne suffit pas de se contenter de mixer des sons de guitare à l'envers, créer des beats répétitifs et nus, mais sans âme; la musique électronique doit avant toute chose être une recherche du son lui-même, un creuset dans lequel chaque ingrédient doit apporter sa saveur, son âpreté, sa douceur. A la première écoute de cet EP de Peter Digital Orchestra, le trouble s'installe; comment une musique en apparence si simple, taillée pour le mix et la danse lascive, langoureuse et oserai-je dire, sexy, peut-elle être à ce point si élaborée dans cette force à approfondir le découverte de sonorités captivantes et entêtantes? On pense d'abord à ce que Mr. Oizo aurait pu créer s'il ne s'était pas contenté de se reposer sur les lauriers qu'une vidéo laissant apparaître une ridicule marionnette jaune lui a apporté (aux dernières nouvelles, le monsieur s'est reconverti dans la réalisation de longs-métrages; souhaitons-lui le meilleur, sincèrement). Mais au-delà de cette simple comparaison, l'auditeur découvre des grooves portés soit par des nappes synthétiques à la Boards of Canada, soit par des voix que Liam Howlett, dans un style totalement différent, n'aurait pas renié. Et c'est bien dans toutes ces audaces que le talent de l'artistes réside: soit en cassant le rythme, en le ralentissant, puis en l'accélérant, l'artiste crée un univers en constante évolution, sous de faux airs répétitifs. Aucune phrase musicale ne se répète et ne contient sa propre identité. On pourrait presque qualifier la musique de Peter Digital Orchestra d'electro-beat minimaliste et intelligent, grâce à ces expérimentations musicales surprenantes et intrigantes, pour peu que l'on se prête au jeu. Bien entendu, ce genre musical reste encore assez peu estimé par de nombreux musiciens issus de styles différents de ce dernier, mais dans le cas présent, il mérite réellement le détour. Ne serait-ce justement que pour découvrir ce que tout cet art cache vraiment: du travail, de l'exploration, de l'expérimentation, et une énorme dose de plaisir pour chacun. Insidieusement, rythmes et musiques s'immiscent dans les esprits, on se surprend à vouloir savoir quel rythme le corps pourra exprimer dans ces vagues d'énergie, de rythme, de funk et de groove; Juicy Lady est un disque curieux, sensé, entier, et intense; il suffit de s'ouvrir, de penser, de fouiller. Et, chose encore plus étrange, le virus s'insinue dans nos veines; tiens, si l'on essayait de faire de même, de découvrir les joies du mix, de créer une musique électronique qui pourrait revêtir une âme? A vos platines... |

For those who still have doubts about this, let's make things clear: French electronica is completely different from what Mirwaïs or other artists I won't talk about here try to show and express. In order to understand what a sound is really like, the only way is not mixing reversed guitar sounds, create senseless and repetitive beats, but being a research for what sound is really MEANS. In such a case, each sound is like an empty pint in which each liquid or solid substance has to taste sweet, rough, delicate or sugary. While listening to Peter Digital Orchestra's EP, one is in real trouble: how can such a simple and ready-to-sexy-and slow-dance music sound like an elaborated and intelligent work, thanks to captivating and hypnotizing tunes? First of all, one thinks of what French DJ Mr. Oizo could have created and composed if he didn't only make money out of a video which featured a ridiculous yellow puppet (latest news are that this particular DJ is now directing movies; let's hope the best for him, really...). But apart from only putting these 2 artists on the same line, each listener can discover slow synthetic and Boards of Canada-like soundwaves or human vocals which Liam Howlett would certainly be delightful of, and an impressive groovy style, in Peter Digital Orchestra's music. And this is where it all starts; while breaking rhythm, slowing down or accelerating music, the artist creates a perpetually evoluting musical universe. No musical tune sounds like another one, and appears to go on its own. Peter Digital Orchestra's music could then be qualified as minimalist and intelligent electro-beat music, thanks to all these amazing and strange music researches; but one has to focus on it, and accept to play this particular game. Of course, such a musical style still remains with no interest for many musicians; and I can easily understand why (I'm one of them, so...); but don't miss such a chance to discover this genre, in order to discover what electronica really means: hard working, sound experiments, space explorations, and so much fun for everyone. And, maliciously, rhythm and music will penetrate eveybody's soul, and one will certainly ask how bodies will be able to move on such a musical style which is full of energy, funk, and groove. And, the more one will listen to it, the more the virus will spread, and each musician will (well, I hope so...) feel curious and try to compose the same stuff. Juicy Lady is then a curious, intelligent, complete and intense recording, and one needs to think of and explore each side of it. So, everybody on the dance floor, and let's mix! |
