CLASSIC REMIXES FROM SUPERSTAR TRANCE DJ

今時今日, Paul Oakenfold仍是百大DJ排行中名列前茅的常客, 而大多數人對他所留下的印象, 可能就只是一位名氣很大的Superstar Trance DJ那麼簡單.

但對我來說, Paul Oakenfold除了是自己音樂/DJ生涯中第一位深入接觸到的超級DJ之外, 印象更深刻的是他在Trance領域以外對其他音樂類型的廣泛涉獵, 不要忘記早在1990年時他曾連同Steve osborne 為Happy Mondays經典專輯Pills 'N' Thrills And Bellyaches擔綱製作; 而這張最新3CD單曲與混音精選Greatest Hits and Remixes: Unmixed(Limited Edition Box set)的出版, 則再次喚起腦海中的種種美好音樂印記.

除了一首首來自他個人專輯的暢銷曲以及其自家廠牌Perfecto的名曲外, 讓我重溫得意猶未盡的, 其實是過去他為一眾獨立/搖滾樂團如The Cure,Happy Mondays,The Stone Roses,U2, The Smashing Pumpkins,Mansun...等所炮製的Remix, 當然不能不提的還有他為Massive Attack,Sneaker Pimps,Olive這幾個Trip-Hop組合作嫁過.

此外, 多首2008 Exclusive Remix的出現, 無形中讓這套3CD精選更具價值, 完整曲目如下:

***Mixtape詳細曲目***

"SO ME" FEATURE @ WARP MAZAZINE

這幾年來, Warp一直是自己最鍾愛的日本街頭潮流雜誌, 因為當中除了對於潮流動態的敏銳度之外, 更重要的是與音樂相關的內容也相當有看頭且頭我所好; 而最新一期光是封面已經讓我眼睛為之一亮, 但別誤會, 我並不是對松田龍平感興趣, 而是左上角出現了"So Me"特輯的預告.

喜歡Indie-Disco/Electro-Disco之音的人, 相信不會對身為Ed Banger廠牌設計師的So Me感到陌生.

我手上這本是Daruma帶來送我的"超級航空版", 有興趣的人可以到誠品問問, 海運版應該有機會在下個月中上架, 但據我所知數量應該在五本以內...XD

DEX DISCO RULES!!!

期待多時, 結果Dex Pistols在Partyroom的演出大成功!!! 也讓一度擔心人會不會都跑去"X獸派對"的我放下心中的大石頭, hahaha...


總之, 這是我今年經歷過最High的Party之一! Dex Pistols的DJ Set整個High到爆沒話講, 當然無比重要的還有不斷在台下比十字架跟三角形的大家(不過我自己也忙著比所以沒拍到大家在比的照片, 真sorry...), 事後Daruma跟Maar說他們也相當驚喜哩!!!

合照時Daruma與Maar兩人不忘鬼馬一番.

Dex離開前一晚, 帶他們去吃FPM也大好評的太和殿.



最後要謝謝當晚拿DV拍整晚以及當了兩天總導遊兼司機的dINO!!!

MODULAR PEOPLE

之前提過九月底時忙裡偷閒跑了一趟東京, 意外在販售Mastermind Japan、位於南青山的時尚名所Loveless發現了不少Modular廠牌的相關單品, 讓我喜出望外。(請參閱"大量ELECTRO DISCO/NU-RAVE相關單品入手(二)"一文)

事實上, Modular Records在今日大行其道的Electro-Disco/Indie-Disco/Nu-Rave風潮中, 無疑佔有一定份量的領導地位, 因為這個由Steve Pavlovic所開設、以雪梨為基地的澳洲獨立廠牌, 目前旗下所擁有的音樂單位如Bang Gang Deejays、Midnight Juggernauts、Cut Copy、The Bumblebeez、Van She、The Presets…等, 加上身為Chromeo、Klaxons、New Young Pony Club、MSTRKRFT…等的澳洲代理, 都顯示出Modular Records在這個圈子裡的重要性, 更不要忘了Ben Lee、The Avalanches、Wolfmother…等高評價名字也隸屬該廠牌旗下，更見其音樂包容性。Modular廠牌官網裡內容也相當豐富, 請務必Check!

而其中由AJAX、Gus Da Hoodrat、Jamie Doom、DJ Damage與Dangerous Dan共同組成The Bang Gang Deejays絶對不容小覷, 先前他們已發行過兩集Leave Them All Behind, 最新的雙CD DJ-Mix專輯Light Sound Dance更可說是近期Electro-Disco/Indie-Disco/Nu-Rave風潮的重量級作品, 多達65首作品可說完整地將這一兩年該體系的發展, 透過緊湊無冷場的DJ-Mixing手法做了一個精采回顧.

THE END IS THE BEGINNING IS THE END...

After all, The Yankees' 2007 season ends with a first-round exit for the third straight year......

Early exit sparks speculation on Joe Torre and a new era will come......

作為一個十年的洋基球迷, 坦白說今年對於第一輪出局並不像往年那麼失落, 因為明星賽前的洋基其實已快跟季後賽絕緣, 最後還能以外卡挺進可說是某種奇蹟.

反之, 對於Joe Torre的職務極有可能隨著洋基的提早出局而劃下句點, 我突然感到有些不捨; 畢竟即便近幾年來Joe Torre在調度上逐漸失去過去的水準而備受爭議, 但對於洋基這十多年來的貢獻的確不可抹滅.

除此之外, 明年陣中還會不會看到Rivera, Posada, A-Rod, Pettite這些面孔, 也都還是一個未知數...

DEXPISTOLS @ PARTYROOM 2007.10.27!!!

這一年多來，從法國Kitsune與Ed Banger廠牌出發的Electro-Disco熱潮，以及最初透過英國NME音樂週報催谷的Nu-Rave／Indie-Rave風潮，不但各自形成影響力強大的音樂氣候，更相互撞擊擦出不少令人驚艷的音樂火花，好不熱鬧，難以估計的影響力更從音樂圈蔓延到了時尚／潮流圈。而向來對音樂與時尚潮流動向都相當敏銳的日本市場，自然不會置身事外，由DJ Daruma與DJ Maar所組成的本文主角Dexpistols就是一個最佳代表。

自己會接觸到Dexpistols這個兩人單位，一切都是從DJ Daruma為Adidas Original代官山專門店Styles所製作的DJ-Mix專輯『Styles Selection』開始。然後才知道DJ Daruma其實是裏原宿潮流名所realmad HECTIC店內販售品牌Roc Star的設計師，他在知名街頭潮流雜誌Warp Magazine中專欄「Roc Star Culture Club」也成了我每月固定閱讀的單元。至於打從1993年便展開DJ生涯的DJ Maar同樣來頭不小，除了Dexpistols之外還有Rad Rock這個化名，並另外與M.S.K.組成Magdarise，也幫日本Club名所ageHa出版過DJ-Mix專輯『ageHa Vol.00 Non Stop』。

而這兩年來，Dexpistols可說是相當活躍。2006年受邀為知名服飾品牌55DSL的官方派對上演出並合作出版Mix CD，與2 Many DJs在日本Club名所Womb的同台表演也大為轟動，同年12月發表了第三張Mixape作品『Lesson.03 "Next Text"』，2007年2月起在日本開始了以「TWIST N SHOUT」為名的12個主要城市巡迴表演；此外Dexpistols並持續與Kitsune、Ed Banger這兩大廠牌互動交流，企圖將東京的Electro水準提升至另一個層次。但最為樂迷所津津樂道的，要數與堪稱Daft Punk接班人的Electro Dance雙人DJ組合Justice於日本ageHa舉辦的Ed Banger Nite中同台演出，以及2007年登上Fuji Rock Festival舞台所帶來的超轟動演出。

『Lesson.03 "Next Text"』

想體驗Dexpistols在舞台上是如何透過2台Technics唱盤與3台CDJ-1000，以打破傳統的Freestyle接歌模式帶來結集Hip Hop、Rock、Nu-Rave、Electro-House的混種DJ-Set嗎? 那麼就千萬不能錯過他們10月27日晚上於台北Partyroom的演出！
