Grandmaster Disk

February 11th, 2012 Comments off

http://soundcloud.com/turntablistdisk

One of the foremost innovators of Skratching, (and the creator of the word “Turntablist”) DJ DISK not only remains one of the most technically impressive DJ’s in the world today, he has also single-handedly expanded the musical sensibility of Skratching, allowing for a instrument that was traditionally relegated to the background of Hip Hop, to be re-considered as a powerful and modern tool of musical expression. If Jazz has its Miles Davis, then Hip Hop has its DJ DISK.

Born in San Francisco in the 1970’s DJ DISK first discovered the idea of Turntableism by manipulating an old wooden turntable consul in his parents living room. DISK continued his exploration with his “instrument” and by the age of 11 was competing in SF DJ Battles and was considered a rising star throughout the then rapidly rising underground San Francisco Hip Hop scene.

But it was not until the early 90’s when DISK, pared with other embryonic turntable greats like DJ Qbert, Mix Master Mike and Flare, formed one of the most important and influential Turntable “Groups” in the history of the genre: THE INVISIBL SKRATCH PIKLZ. Lead by DISK (and colored by his insistence for musical innovation) the PIKLZ wild and frenetic exploration of hardcore Hip Hop would eventually set the bar for all other aspiring Turntable musicians. This “band” of Turntablist’s crafted their own unique D.I.Y sensibility and aesthetic (creating their own raw radio and TV show) and eventually became synonymous with all cutting edge Hip Hop performance and production. It’s widely known in Skratch circles that the Disco Mix Club (DMC), an international DJ association, asked the PIKLZ’s to stop entering in their DJ competitions, since they were discouraging other DJs from even bothering to enter. Disk would also create a master piece called ‘ DEMOLITION PUMKIN SQEEZE MUSIK for Qbert to make it one of the greatest mix tape of all time “

After leaving the PIKLZ in 98 Disk hungered for new associations that would further stretch his musical abilities. Disk first started his successful solo career by releasing two classic albums of “Turntablist” expression, releasing albums under the EL STEW (1999) and PHONOSYCOGRAPH (1998) monikers. Disk then extensively toured with famed Producer Bill Laswell, playing alongside some of the worlds most respected Indian musicians (Zakir Hussain, Ulstad Sultan Khan) in Laswell’s famed TABLA BEAT SCIENCE, exposing his Turntabist genere to cultures in India, Dubai, Lebannon, China Russia and many others. Disk also toured worldwide with famed Jazz great HERBIE HANCOCK, improvising wildly against the Jazz masters piano textures to create a new space yet unheard in contemporary Jazz.

DISK has been involved in over 100 released recorded works and has continued to tour extensively with a wide range of musicians, representing a myriad of genres (Primus, Serge – System Of A Down, Wayne Shorter, Nora Jones, Mike Patton..to name just a few) and has released over 30 live DVD’s of his work, creating a fan base of devoted and dedicated followers. His rare Break Beat EP’s are still considered some of the great templates for young DJ’s to practice their craft on and are treasured by the underground Hip Hop community.

In 2006 ” long over due said GRANDMIXER DXT ” DISK was knighted as the 3rd GRANDMASTER in HIP HOP history next to QBERT and ROC RAIDER ” DISK has recently completed filming on “Sympathy For Delicious” a major motion picture with ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE MARK RUFFALO and is currently working on his latest recorded project (over 5 years in the making) entitled “PATU”.

BIO::::::::::::::::::::::::::

MR. LIF (Boston – USA) HIP HOP

Vincitore dei Boston Music Awards per ben quattro volte, Mr lif è considerato dalla critica come uno dei migliori MCs della storia del Massachusetts. Il suo debutto risale alla seconda metà degli anni
’90 dove bombarda letteralmente la scena underground newyorkese con un quantitativo smisurato di EP e 12 pollici. Qualche anno dopo inizia l’esperienza con la legendaria “Definitive Jux” di El-P, etichetta nella quale ha modo crescere e maturare come artista collaborando con alcuni tra i più
talentuosi esponenti della scena Hip Hop di NYC. Lo stile di scrittura di Lif è maniacale, i suoi temi non sono mai scontati e l’ironia la fa da padrone. L’inconfondibile timbro di voce e l’estrema musicalità sul beat lo rendono unico sia dal vivo che in studio. Dopo 4 dischi di cui uno in combo con
Akrobatic(altro talentuoso MC di Boston) ed un Live, Lif si dedica alla produzione di “I Heard it Today” un manifesto di protesta contro il governo e le amministazioni Statunitensi.

DJ FRESH (London – UK) DRUM ‘N BASS

Dj Fresh è uno degli esponenti mondiali della drum’n’bass,fondatore della leggendaria crew Bad Company che ha dato un significativo sostegno alla cultura musicale con tracce quali “The Nine” (la traccia DnB più suonata di sempre) e “Planet dust”. Leggendari sono stati gli album drum and bass: “Inside the machine”, “Shot down on safari”, “Digital nation”, “Book of the bad” e il suo album solista ” Escape from planet Monday”.Cofondatore con Adam F della Breakbeat Kaos,etichetta che si è sempre impegnata a
promuovere nuove sonorità all’interno del genere musicale,nel 2005 produce insieme al sorprendente trio australiano Pendul il ‘Tarantula’,song che ha definitivamente affermato la band live nel panorama mondiale.Ha collaborato con artisti del calibro di Baron, J Majik & Wikaman,Sigma,Chase & Status, Nero e Broken Brothers.Ha all’attivo enormi successi solisti e collaborazioni con artisti del calibro di Apollo 440, DJ Shadow e Pet Shop Boys. Nel 2010 è uscito il suo nuovo album “Kryptonite”, anticipato dai singoli di successo “Hypercaine” e “Gold dust” con la vocalist Koko dei Massive Attack

ABA SHANTI-I (London – UK) ROOTS_REGGAE_DUB

Inizia come micman del leggendario JahTubbys World System negli anni 80. Riappare sulla scena nel 1990 al Notting Hill Carnival con un nuovo potentissimo impianto ed un nome che rispecchia la rinnovata fede Rastafari: ABA SHANTI – I, di cui è operator, selecter e singer. Nel 1995 è nominato “best sound operator of the year” dalla BASS (British Association f Sound System). Unico Resident dell’acclamata University of Dub londinese, regolarmente in tour in Europa ed in Giappone, la sua yard al Carnevale giamaicano di Londra è tra le più affollate ogni anno; attorno a sé raccoglie inoltre una band, The Shanti Ites, ed un etichetta, Falasha Rec.

Partecipare ad una live session di Aba Shanti I è un’esperienza estremamente coinvolgente, dal punto di vista fisico e spirituale; con la ricercatezza delle selezioni e la potenza dei bassi, uniti al suo canto ed allo speech mai banale e ad un uso psichedelico di echi e sirene, riesce a trasformare la danza in una sorta di mistica liturgia collettiva, recentemente oggetto di un saggio della Facoltà di Scienze della Comunicazione della Sapienza di Roma.

Arriva a Napoli ospitato da 3 sound system partenopei: Bababoom Hi Fi, Bruciatown Fa –Mass e Sunweed Sound System uniti insieme in un unico muro sonoro per scuotere a dovere i corpi ed i cuori.

PETIT CIRCUS NAPOLITAINE

è un progetto/spettacolo itinerante. Uno spazio circolare (una pista?) dove l’artista si esibisce proponendo il proprio “numero” di danza, di musica o di teatro ed una “banda musicale instabile” accompagna o sottolinea l’esibizione.
Il repertorio è quello del teatro e della musica napoletana filtrata attraverso i sapori e i colori del circo. E’ uno spettacolo che si rinnova e si rigenera giorno per giorno, sera per sera in piazza, per strada, in teatro, sotto una tenda, sul sagrato di una chiesa, laddove ci sia lo spazio per accogliere il PETIT CIRCUS NAPOLITAINE. Un mondo immaginifico, non privo di angoli scuri quello che si apre a PETIT CIRCUS NAPOLITAINE. Una carillon gigante, una lanterna magica, una giostrina a molla, il Vaudeville, il circo, il teatro di strada, il Cafè Chantant, la giocoleria, la magia, le struggenti note di una fisarmonica, il suono clownesco del clarino, le bolle di sapone, le bambole meccaniche, le ballerine, i burattini, mimi, Drag Queen di periferia, clochard metropolitani… sonorità di musica popolare, di musica tradizionale, di Klezmer, di gitani, pianola meccanica, banda di paese. Brani, citazioni, riferimenti a personaggi che rincorrono il nostro immaginario: Viviani, Chaplin, Gelsomina e Zampanò, Pasolini, Capossela, Jacque Tati, Gabriella Ferri, Eduardo, Totò, Brassens, Scarpetta, Nino Taranto… Tutti insieme in questo progetto-spettacolo che si costruisce pezzo a pezzo, come un mosaico sempre diverso, sempre mutevole.
E’ una commistione di generi, una sinergia tra artisti uguali e diversi tra loro che presentano il proprio “numero” liberamente ispirato a e da, che ha le caratteristiche dello spettacolo viaggiante, dello spettacolo “accampato”, attraverso la memoria, attraverso l’immaginazione
