    Keyser & Shuriken - newsletter #58: Addicted To True Stereo

    Newsflash 11.06.2001

    Dear friends,

    time is simply running out of our hands and many things happen without any warning.
    We truly live the last days of music biz, as we know it, so why should anyone be
    surprised by us being late with this newsletter again? Yeah it's exams time. And time
    to work. And time to produce. And time to spin records all around the region. And
    time to take care of foreign musician and dj friends when something happens in our
    homebase. And of course no time to sleep, rest, go to the woods or fix a broken
    relation.

    Not that we are complaining, mind you. We actually enjoy things happening this way...

    It all began with a little help from our friend Zeljko, who runs the London based
    Cosmic Sounds (http://www.cosmic.sounds.mcmail.com/) label, releasing obscure 60s-70s
    jazz from Eastern Europe, as well as new acts from the post-yu region (check out his
    latest and absolutely amazing compilation with the matching title "Balkan Express").
    As Shuriken had to visit Belgrade for a conference, he contacted Zeljko to give him a
    few contacts to people in the local scene who would be interesting to meet. In a few
    days Belgradeyard Sound System already organised 2 gigs for Shuriken. On both
    occasions he had a chance to jam with the masterminds behind the Coxless Pair project
    (http://www.cosmic.sounds.mcmail.com/label/artists/dvojac.htm) Dusan Petrovic (sax.)
    & Boris Mladenovic (guitar + sampler).

    The Belgradeyard Sound System (www.belgradeyard.co.yu) is a dj duo in Belgrade who do
    a show in the famous B92 radio, as well as throwing regular clubnights and parties
    with foreign guests (for example Claas & Jürgen of the Jazzanova). They superb djs of
    the most uncompromising nature (their motto "Don't give the people what they want,
    give them what they need!" describes exactly the way they play: real tough freestyle
    from free-jazz to downtempo, hip hop and beyond), so any of you who has been
    following/supporting our activity for some reasons, should definitely subscribe to
    their newsletter (mail@belgradeyard.co.yu) to get info updates about the Belgrade
    scene as well; promote his releases by sending them stuff; etc.

    Only a week has passed, and we already had a chance to jam together with Dusan on the
    top of Budapest, on an open-air party featuring dZihan & Kamien from Vienna. This
    uplifting event was organized by the Jazz Turbulence massive (the mastermind behind
    it is dj Suhaid - suhaid@freemail.hu) and we thank for them for one of the greatest
    dj-experiences of our lives. You can check out how the city looks from the Citadella
    fort on the top of Gellert Hill, where we have seen the sun coming up, while
    spinning: http://www.irisz.hu/webcam_hun.html. We suggest you to download fast mo mpg
    versions of a day in Budapest: http://www.irisz.hu/webcam_archiv.html. If you also
    download dZ&K's mix
    (http://tilos.hu/djk/mixek/dzihan_kamien-live_at_jazzturbulence_1_010602.mp3;
    http://tilos.hu/djk/mixek/dzihan_kamien-live_at_jazzturbulence_2_010602.mp3), you can
    have an impression how that night was.

    This week we have found a true gem on the web. Read and then browse:

    One day while sitting around in the dorm at college, my roommate and I were
    discussing music, and he shook his head and said, "You really don't know what stereo
    is, do you?" He pulled out his set of Koss stereophones and plopped them over my ears
    and said, "Here, listen to this." On came "Route 66 Theme" by Nelson Riddle in
    stereo. I was completely blown away and instantly addicted to true stereo. That
    moment was really the start of Both Sides Now. I became a stereo evangelist of sorts,
    finding captive audiences in unsuspecting people who visited me, "subjecting" them to
    true stereo rock and roll ("Here, listen to this!").

    by Mike Callahan of Both Sides Now Publications (http://www.bsnpubs.com)

    Check out their incredible jazz-funk-rock label discographies pages to get mad about
    the quantities of the black stuff ever pressed. You will cry, boy...

    Keep on being stereo evangelists till next week!
