A grizzled veteran with a wealth of experience under his belt, FiDRoC was always the go-to guy when you just needed somebody to bang out the jams and get the party started. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, our weary protagonist has sniffed the air and sensed that the time is right to dust off his headphones and step out into the fray once more.

Edited highlights include a stint as the tour DJ for Manchester based chart botherers Mint Royale which took me the length and breadth of the UK and included a number of prestigious Festival slots. Besides holding down multiple residencies and making countless guest appearances in and around Manchester, I also got to crank it up in many legendary (and sadly missed) venues / events such as Sankeys Soap, Music Box and D-Percussion. Pirate Radio? Yep, I also had a spell polluting the airwaves albeit in a very localised (and probably illegal) manner.

I also maintained a long running monthly residency at the Light Bar in Shoreditch which regularly saw me hammering out 6 hour sets to wildly eclectic crowds.

In Flagranti (Sasa Crnobrnja & Alex Gloor)

The duo has always made a great case demonstrating how “inspiration” from the creative works of others can truly be made into something new and totally distinct from the source material.  But whether you know the source material bears major influence on what their interpretation is going to even sound like to you.  In other words, you could be hearing the same song as another listener is, but if you’re familiar with the source material, you’re going to also be hearing that, while someone who isn’t familiar with it won’t.  Most of their listeners have no idea this is even going on, or could even be allowed.
I figure I follow In Flagranti quite closely, but I only make a connection here, or a connection there.  Sometimes this happens immediately, other times it’s taken years to notice.  Most connections I will never even be aware of, and I don’t listen for them, they just stand out to me or they don’t.  Sometimes I only discover the source material long after I’ve been familar with In Flagranti’s take on it, which you’d think would detract from the latter, but for me, it only adds to it.  In Flagranti’s musical interpretations show a certain ethic and a philosophy that parallels their approach to visual content.  It’s so “meta” that I’m at a loss to describe it, except to say what I often do:  Warhol would be In Flagranti’s biggest fan if he was around to witness them. – truckerdisco.wordpress.com

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”

Jim Jarmusch’s Golden Rule #5

Para além das suas nobres caracteristicas pessoais, é incontornavel não pensar em MUSICA quando ouvimos a palavra Cajó! Enraizado nos mais altos valores do Jazz, da Soul e do Blues, Cajó Dias, transporta em si um conhecimento musical fora do normal e muito longe do senso comum. Melomano a ponto de debater ideias até ao mais infimo pormenor com verdadeiros musicos e verdadeiros amantes de musica.
