Duzz down san lable night - Chrisfader & Testa
Both turntablists are leading figures in the field of technical vinyl artistry – for which they took quite a few titels home to Tyrol in categories like Advancement Class, Beat Juggling, and Team Competitions. They dominated the ITF competitions from 2003 thru 2006. Internationally they made 4th place in the European Finals in 2006. This success marked Austria’s first appearance on the international turntablist stages – in cities such as Prague, Stuttgart, or Dublin. And just recently Chrisfader won the Rhymesayers Europe Tour Mixtape Contest.
Chrisfader and Testa’s talent, however, cannot only be seen in competitions of finger acrobatics. They have also succeeded artistically, raising the tool of the turntable to a musical instrument in its own right, instead of a simple record player as some regard it be. Their latest joint-venture project with DJ D.B.H. is called Restless Leg Syndrome and has a simple concept: Take an old genre of music, sample and flip it into dancefloor-ready beats. In the case of their EP “Swapping Swingers” the focus is on the Swinging 1920s. Now, Restless Leg Syndrome captured that musical vibe in the hopes of turning the dances in the Scotland Yard Pub similarly rowdy!
