Daniel Steinberg - Summer Mix 2014

/****** FR ******\
Mindpleasure, Auteur-Compositeur, Arrangeur et DJ, a commencé par jouer de la harpe a l'âge de huit ans, puis se mit rapidement au piano. 
Il réalisa sa première composition electro à l'âge de treize ans, à l'aide d'un synthétiseur (Roland E14). Les encouragements du public qu'il reçut lorsqu'il la joua en live, furent pour lui un déclic. Il savait dorénavant que la musique serait une de ses principales sources d'émotions.

C'est pourquoi par la suite il se mit facilement à la MAO (Musique Assistée par Ordinateur) et ne s'en détacha plus. Peu de temps après il posa ses mains sur des platines car l'envie de faire découvrir ses coups de cœur musicaux au public le démangeait.

Avec le temps il évolua dans des styles hétéroclites, aussi différents les uns que les autres (House, Minimal, Electro Jazz Swing, Trip-Hop, Lounge).

Pour lui la musique a un pouvoir particulier sur l'être humain et il aime en jouer. Ses sets DJ sont un voyage à travers le temps et les continents, et son seul objectif est d'entrer en osmose avec son public.

Que ce soit dans ses compositions ou dans ses sets, il vous sera impossible de le classer dans un style particulier tant il aime à se diversifier. Mindpleasure voit la musique comme une expérience chimique ou les ingrédients sont les émotions. « Le meilleur moyen d'apprécier la musique n'est pas seulement de l'écouter avec les oreilles mais avec le corps tout entier »

Mindpleasure; song-writer, composer, arranger and DJ, started to play harp at the age of eight, and then quickly moved on to piano.
He created his first electro composition at the age of thirteen with a synthesizer (Roland E14). The support of the audience when he performed it live was a trigger for him. He knew that music would be one of his main emotional sources in the future.

That is why he further on easily fell to "computer-generated music". Several times later, he put his hands on a turntable because the desire to make people discover his musical preferences was too strong.

Over time, he evolved to heterogeneous styles, each one different than the other (House, Minimal, Electro Jazz Swing, Trip-Hop, Lounge).

According to him, music has a special power on human beings and he likes to use this power. His DJ sets are a travel through Times and Continents; and his only goal is to be in perfect harmony with the people who are listening to him.

In any way, compositions or sets, you cannot classify him in a defined style because he enjoys to be diversified. Mindpleasure sees music as a chemical experience where the ingredients are emotions. "The best way to appreciate music is not to listen to it with ears only, but with the whole body". 

Tlama a.k.a JTBIG has been attracted to music since the time he and his brother mounted an antenna on the roof of their parents home so that they were able to listen music on their tuberadio and made recordings on of the first old fashioned Tesla Sonet Duo - ANP210 (real) taperecorder. At the end of the eighties suffering communism-time he started at the so called youth-club in LM playing the collection of all his recordings to the crowd that was really hungry for some music. During this regime is wasn’t easy at all to become a DJ: you needed to pass an examen in front of a commision to obtain a degree. There were 3 kinds of degrees: First degree: the DJ was only allowed to play in his hometown Second degree: you were allowed to play in the region Third degree: the lucky guy could play across the whole republic DJ Tlama obtained the second degree and his DJ carreer started slowly with his 2 Tesla CD players and Seak DMR 7 mixer, becomming a resident DJ in a pub in Liptovsky Jan earning the amount of 5 dollars a night in 1991. After a few years the first big step forward came with a pair of Technics turntables, DMC membership and a regularly visit to the “World of Music” recordstore all the way in Munich. However the biggest step came in 1998 leaving all commercial sound behind a started focusing on dancemusic only by founding the DJ agency “Fresh Production”, launching his website so he could presenting his DJ’s and their DJ-sets moving in styles from chill-out to techno and giving his own outdoor parties (like Opalisko House Camp and La Mara Boat). During his DJ carreer Tlama has been playing on several events in the whole Slovak Republic as well abroad in Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Germany and the Netherlands. After been playing for 4 years on Radio Rebecca his first own production shows up under the aka of Scan Quilt Baby. Meeting Dusan Janiga and Julo Janota they founded DJT Project and soon they opened their own recording studio working together with big Slovak names like Marian Cekovsky and Dara Rolins. Finally in 2006 DJTProject releases his first album East Transpoder and the forthcoming hitsingle „Stand up“ has been picked up by all big national radiostations while the videoclip ends up on 3rd place at TV Markiza‘s hitparade and is on frequent rotation at TV Musicbox. Besides that „Stand up“ is futured on the biggest Slovak CD-compilation „Go Deejay“. Attending the WMC in Miami in 2007 DJ Tlama has been promoting his tracks by albums, CDS and of course the videoclip.
Recently JTBIG started making groovy sounds under the aka Biomin H and DjLurex.
Biomin H is 2 member project by Slovak studio freaks Jan Tlama Tlamka aka JTBIG and Jozef Caco Matejka. All of them are also members of other musical projects. While JTBIG belongs to DJTproject and LMT. Biomin H was established spontaneously at the end of 2010. They worked together in the TC studio, Liptovsky Mikulas/SK where they created their "cosmic grooves".
