Transformer di Roboter (Berlin)
10.Dec.2006Paradiso
A Berlin-based duo (Alexander Kloster and Johannes Malfatti) making electronic pop music with a punk attitude. They are named after the Italian version of a popular ‘80s toy and that’s what they are mainly about: they started with covers of catchy tracks, turning upside down already existing hits and putting them into a complete new sound shape. But now it’s "Enough of silly covers": currently they’re focusing on their own songs but remain loyal to their off beat electronic pop sound. Their intense, energetic and entertaining shows are notorious from Norway to Italy, and their Amsterdam show will be supported by amazing VJ performance by Dutch video artist Arno Coenen. Pay close attention to their song ‘The Baghdad Disco’ – a potential hit for the season 2006/2007. 
C-MON & KYPSKI
10.Dec.2006ParadisoThere are many great connections
with C-mon & Kyspki playing live at Resfest. Their new ‘Bumpy Road’ single has a kickin’ video directed by
100% Halal, which you can see in The Dutch Mix
program. You’ll ALSO soon see how extremely visual and
exceptionally fun these guys are - true Resfest spirit
and a mash-up of wacky styles ! imagine Beastie Boys
go klezmer and imagine a klezmer band goes turntablist
and you’ll only half get there ! and best of all
they’re on the same stage as VJ mash-up masters
Eclectic Method, so personally I’m expecting mayhem !"Where the wild things are", the latest album of C-mon & Kypski is literally crossing borders! They started as turntable wizards (Kypski is 4 times Dutch National Scratch Champion) and were formed because their love for hiphop music. Through the years they have grown as artists and have been inspired by different kinds of sounds and genres. It is very clear that they are very good at letting their fantasies run free but are still able to focus on having a good melody. Recently, after two years of intensive touring (from Amsterdam to Istanbul, South by Southwest to Barcelona's Sonar Festival), they decided to record their album not in their own studio in Utrecht (the Netherlands) but to go to Morocco for inspiration. Over a period of four weeks they created their third album 'Where the wild things are', which was also inspired by the children's book by Maurice Sendak.
The most concrete product of their journey is the new single' Bumpy Road' which retrieved it's name from the circumstances of the recordings. It is by far the happiest C-Mon & Kypski song till now, and irresistibly invites it's listener to explore the wide world.

SEIJI with MG (BUGZ IN THE ATTIC)
9.Dec.2006Sugar Factory Expect nothing less than a full-on dance party once Seiji of the mighty BUGZ IN THE ATTIC gets on the wheels, Bugz In The Attic have been at the cutting edge of the broken beat dance scene for nearly a decade now. The now LIVE band is a collective of a large number of producers and remixers and their output is as wide ranging as you might expect with such a depth and breadth of input. They are famous for stamping their unique character on mainstream dance tracks in a series of remixes but perhaps it’s the track Booty La La that gave them their biggest commercial acclaim in 2004. Their debut album Back In The Dog House is out now !With Bugz’s beat-ridden reputation, Seiji’s background is somewhat surprising. ‘I started playing cello as a child and did classical music for 10 years, ‘fortunately for us he took a radical turn. ‘I heard the beat from the street and tried my best to become a hip teen. Hardcore, US house, acid jazz and jungle influenced my first drum n bass tracks and, after meeting Orin Walters (Afronaught) and becoming involved in Bugz In The Attic, I started to experiment with what became broken beat’. The Broken Beat sound, with which Seiji is so synonymous, came about as the end product of like-minds getting together, smoking and jamming. But Seiji says that instead of being catalogued with a fleeting genre-definition or area code, he’d rather be known for ‘simply heavy music’.
