P(hil) D(a) F(unk)

Bonn, Paris, Innsbruck, Lienz, Vienna, Graz … P(hil) D(a) F(unk) seems to be homeless in his creative efforts in which Funk and Soul are strongly reduced in a dub woven context to enhance the whole release with rap vocals, or not. The dedication to his music to is reflected in his ever growing record collection that goes from Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Dub, Dubstep to Electro. He has partnered with such names as Beware,Funktionist, Kid Fresh, DJ Food, James Mountain, Diesler, Joker, DJ Spookey, Hextatic and Grandmaster Flash at the turntables. Looking beyond the limits of the turntable domain, Phil is also working with live musicians Gustavo Vohena Marcachini (bass) and percussionist Oliver Deutsch.

Duzz down san lable night - Feux

tl_files/Blog_Pictures/WT12/Feux-560x373.jpg

“Duzz Down San” is an independent label by a group of underground musicians. The idea is to create a platform and reach out to other underground musicians (which the name, translated as “so that you’re down”, refers to) by producing innovative music free of aesthetic or genre-based borders.

Feux is a producer and DJ hailing from Austria who has been working on music for the past five years. His first production, entitled “21 & Ghost”, on which he collaborated with fellow Austrian producer Daelectronic as well as rapper Nebz Supreme (L.A./California), was released in January 2008. In April 2009 he dropped his first full length release “Mastaplan” with MC Mirac as “Feux & Mirac” on Duzz Down San Records. Since then he can be found pursuing a variety of different projects – whether it be remixes, collaborations with other artists or simply his solo endeavors.

Duzz down san lable night - Chrisfader & Testa

tl_files/Blog_Pictures/WT12/overland_242-560x373 chrisfader & testa.jpg

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!
