Ransom Note Line Out

No. 2 in our Live recordings series on R$N comes from the Rush Hour founder Antal.

For R$N, Rush Hour has been a benchmark store, label and distribution network for quite some time now. Running this community with a close group of friends, the label has re-issued some incredible long-forgotten classics and on point new releases whilst the shop stocks records bought on crate digging trips around the world... but you already knew that.
A hugely versatile DJ in his own right Antal can weave together house and techno or Afro and disco just as ably.  DJing all over the world since the nineties he digs deep into many musical forms away from the dance.

Check live record from Disco Volante. 2 hours of greatness.

Daniel Ghazvinie and Leisureware are residents at Fill Yer Boots house night in London.

This is a live recording of the boys playing back to back and track for track in May 2014.

Ranging from Black Sabbath to DJ Sprinkles via some weird bits and the obligatory Sade track. They tried and failed to leave the reverb button alone.

Catch them plus T. Wiltshire at the next Fill Yer Boots on Friday 20th June at The Star of Bethnal Green.

Gino Grasso is a ‘disco don’ and rare record dealer. 
A life-long collector collector of disco music for over 30 years he supplies the big dons like Dimitri from Paris, Kenny Dope Gonzalez and others. Even Peter Brown from P&P Records has asked him personally for catalogue records that he doesn't have anymore. He's always DJing in Italy (where he's very well known) and around Europe. He's also a close friend and big fan of Far Out Recordings. Joe Davis, Far Out label head asked him to put together a mix around the release of the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra rom the label. 
Here it is...

Line Out #6: Gino Grasso - Live mixtape for Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra

Coming to us via the ears of the excellent Mr Richard Norris, record producer, multi-­instrumentalist and DJ, Martin Dubka is a man of many competing musical hats. With a back catalogue scattered with different genres and unexpected projects, it’s hard for us to get our heads around the idea that the producer has finally decided to settle on a singular moniker, DUBKA.

Striving for a unique approach to instrument-driven electronica, DUBKA enlisted his parents to help design a portable version of his studio, which he now transports around the globe in a tailor­made suitcase. This then is a live recording of one of these instrument driven sets of Martin's. Get it in your ears.

Some of it here: 

For those that have been living under a rock, can you give us a few details about yourself? 

Who are you? 

Martin Dubka.

Where are you from? 

London via Cumbria.

When did you first decide that you wanted to produce your own music? What spurred this on?

When I started out playing bass, my first amp was a hi-fi, so I've pretty much been recording music as long as I've been playing it.  I guess the real turning point was my mate putting a cracked copy of Acid on my dad's PC.  No, actually it was recording in Paris with Cazals.  Now I think about it, it's probably just always been a very natural part of making music for me.  They're pretty much the same thing in my mind.

You were previously in Cazals, signed to Kitsune, played on Daft Punk’s Alive 97 tour and now release records Vito Delcua’s label. Would we be right in assuming there’s a strong Gaelic/French connection?  

Yeah, I guess there is but it's not a conscious thing.  I do really love being in France though.  And I like a lot of French music and food.  Maybe that comes across in my music somehow.

Something a bit different for a Friday and a first in our Line Out series, in that we're presenting a whole (half) evening's worth of an event. 
For this episode we're over in Japan at Some Song Teachers in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo from earlier in the year where Reviveher went head to head for a marathon night-into-morning-into-midday stretch.
This is "dancing behind closed doors only"
