Second part from my Live Recording at Cloud Cuckoo Stage Fusion Festival 02.07.2023!

Franz Scala At Cloud Cuckoo Fusion 2023 P2

Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Currently based in Berlin, Evgeniy aka Cosmic Kazannik has been living in London since 2002, and stargazing to the sound of synths since the late 1970s. When not taking photos, he is found in discos traveling through space jazz progressive electro and off-orbit house.

Having run monthly jazz night Eugenesis from 2005 and being known as Mr Jazzani, from 2010 Evgeniy had a period focusing on his photography, establishing and then running sustainable photographic business, Green Lens Studios.

Yev's latest project is a two-day festival of culture and contemporary music in Kaliningrad supported by the British Council’s UK - Russia Year of Music initiative. SYNTHESIS is an exploration of the pioneering contribution of Russian inventors to electronic music through Soviet analog synth technology and a celebration of its unique style and sound. The festival will be built around a headline performance showcasing contemporary electronic music in its current state. This will be supported by an inclusive program of workshops and film screenings along with a club night. The festival organizers' intention is to promote a wider international understanding of the avant-garde and DIY esoterica of synth sound, as well as to showcase the ability of music to permeate the ‘iron wall’ and reach hearts and minds on the other side.
