LOTTAROX AGENCY nasce con l'intenzione di portare anche in Italia ciò che nel Regno Unito, soprattutto Inghilterra, viene considerato come un nuovo fenomeno musicale. ”The next big thing “

Con sede a Londra, Stoccolma e Firenze l'agenzia di booking, eventi e promozione fondata da Marzio Velvetians (al secolo Giuseppe Mazzeo) si impone come “Talent Scouter “ e “ Cool Hunter” per le nuove tendenze che dal Nord-Europa faranno breccia poi nel panorama mediterraneo e quindi nella nostra penisola.

Le connessioni con un folto network di “indie” clubsm, venue, djs & locali porta nell'immediato l'agenzia ad avere subito un ruolo da protagonista prima in Italia e poi in Inghilterra.

In 10 mesi sono più di 50 gli eventi fatti in italia come LOTTAROX AGENCY e nella capite inglese come LOTTAROX LONDON.

Si susseguono le "serate" (club)  di successo e club nite ufficiali al fianco di nomi come Faris Horrors, Kate Long Blondes, Hatcham Social, Carl Barat, Pulp, Wild Palms, Visions of Trees, La Shark, Islington Boys' Club in venue come  Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, Xoyo, Old Blue Last, The Macbeth, Madame Jojo's, The Lock Tavern, Paramount Studios, Wah Wah Club, Debaser Slussen, Rocket, Covo Club …..

Tutto questo porta l'agenzia ad avere una forte credibilità su Londra e allo stesso tempo organizzare tour in Italia soprattutto per le “nuove indie-band” dello scenario rock anglosassone.

Ciò che differenzia LOTTAROX dalle altre agenzie di booking è la capacità di organizzare anche eventi di natura artistica con mostre fotografiche volte ad esaltare la perfomance live ma anche a sottolineare la natura poliedrica nell'organizzazione di eventi. Esempio calzante l'ultima mostra curata per il celebre Fotografo Internazionale Peter Anderson, all'interno della Fashion Week Fiorentina “Pitti Uomo 2011” nella splendida cornice della Terrazza Bardini, nel cuore di Firenze, con special guest i djs da Londra Club The Mammoth ed il servizio fotografico dello spagnolo Gerard Estadella da “icanteachyouhowtodoit”.

Per celebrare un anno di attività LOTTAROX AGENCY organizza un Tour Europeo con 4 concerti fra Stoccolma, Londra, Genova e Firenze.

PETER MURPHY: ECCO IL VIDEO DI "I SPIT ROSES", TRATTO DA "NINTH", IL NUOVO DISCO USCITO IL 7 GIUGNO

PRONTO IL VIDEO DI “I SPIT ROSES”, IL PRIMO SINGOLO TRATTO DAL NUOVO DISCO DI PETER MURPHY, “NINTH”,  USCITO IL 7 GIUGNO SU ETICHETTA NETTWERK MUSIC GROUP/SELF

Link per vedere il video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lnq9Add25M

Peter Murphy, storico cantante dei Bauhaus, leggendaria band dark wave inglese,  annuncia il suo ritorno con Ninth, nono disco solista al debutto con l’etichetta Nettwerk Music Group.

Dopo lo scioglimento dei Bauhaus nel 1983 Murphy intraprende la carriera solista due anni più tardi, pubblicando una serie di dischi che lo hanno coronato come uno dei più grandi artisti della storia del rock, oltre a prestigiose collaborazioni tra cui quella con Trent Reznor dei Nine Inch Nails e Mick Karn, ex bassista dei Japan.

Prodotto da David Baron, Ninth rappresenta il perfetto punto di incontro tra il passato ed il presente di Peter Murphy, tra quello che ha fatto e quello che avrebbe voluto fare negli anni. E’ un disco molto personale, confidenziale, intimo e sofisticato, come dichiara lo stesso Murphy.

RIVAL CONSOLES: IN USCITA IL 27 GIUGNO "KID VELO" per Erased Tapes: DIRETTAMENTE DA LONDRA UN ALTRO STRAORDINARIO ESEMPIO DI IDM!

RIVAL CONSOLES

KID VELO

Artista: Rival Consoles

Album: Kid Velo

Release date: 27 giugno 2011

Label: Erased Tapes Records

Distribuzione: Self

Direttamente da Londra un altro straordinario esempio di IDM!

Ryan Lee West, aka Rival Consoles, è un giovane talentuoso venticinquenne al secondo disco. Kid Velo, successore di ‘IO’ uscito nel 2009, è pubblicato in undici settimane: ogni lunedì, a partire dall’11 aprile, uscirà infatti un nuovo brano in streaming esclusivo da un unico portale online. La campagna terminerà il 23 giugno con una mostra evento a Londra.

Melodie catchy pop che si alternano a suoni elettronici fanno di Kid Velo un perfetto esempio di IDM.

London-based purveyor of intelligent dance music Ryan L. West aka RIVAL CONSOLES returns with his sophomore album KID VELO, released track by track over the course of 11 weeks. Every Monday will see a new album track being streamed exclusively from just one online portal connected to one exclusive online store, before going global on Fridays. ‘With brains supposedly adapting to online networks and attention spans reduced to 140 characters at a time, this is bite-sized music for a bite-sized world’, Erased Tapes label founder Robert Raths explains. The campaign will kick off on April 11 and cumulate in the official album release on June 27, 2011. Here’s the viral to date:

Track 1: KID VELO – Exclusive Track Premiere via Drowned In Sound on April 11:

'We’ve got the VERY FIRST track and it's actually really, really good'

Track 2: INTO THE HEART I – Exclusive Track Premiere via The Line Of Best Fit on April 18:

'Rival Consoles is the geekiest band name of all time. It is lucky, then, that the music is so consistently entertaining. We are very happy to have ‘Into The Heart’, the second track from that record, as today’s exclusive Song Of The Day'

Track 3: S.P.K.R.S – Exclusive Track Premiere via The 405 on April 26:

'It's bloody HUGE. Can you imagine hearing this at full blast? It's so intense it would probably blow your eyebrows off'

Track 4: AMIGA – Exclusive Track Premiere via Mixmag on May 3.

‘Purveyor of intelligent and consistently entertaining dance music’

Track 5: I LEFT THE PARTY – Exclusive Track Premiere via BBC News/SKY News/The Telegraph on May 9 as part of a royal flashmob outside Buckingham Palace. ‘The dancers clicked their fingers, stamped their feet and shook their bodies to a mix of funky beats’

Whilst album opener KID VELO can simply be described as ‘a heavy beast that has a lot of pop running through its veins’, Ryan L. West, the man behind RIVAL CONSOLES strives to humanise and at the same time emphasise entirely computerised sounds to defy categorisation in modern electronic music. According to West this record was all about creating genuine emotions with a synthetic set of sounds. ‘Even though the sounds that have been used are entirely synthetic, like a lot of computer game music, they can create moments of human emotion – moments of hope. I really love it when electronic music can do this to you’.

With track names that could be straight out of a comic strip, the atmosphere of this album reminds of video game sagas such as Zelda or Final Fantasy. KID VELO makes the perfect fictional super hero with EVE being his fragile yet powerful female counterpart and VOS as the classic antagonist. Tracks like s.p.k.r.s. evoke images of an evil, corrupt police force, lurking deep in the futuristic suburbs. Surrounded by studio equipment, this record possibly is a result of spending more time with speakers than people.

It doesn’t take much to see some parallels between the fictional character KID VELO and its creator. Born in November 10^th 1985, Ryan L. West grew up in the small city of Leicester in the midlands of England. Fascinated by sound from an early age, Ryan chose to dedicate his time to studying, experimenting with and producing sound at De Montfort University Leicester. ‘The outro track AFTER ED. stands for After Education, because it just reminds me of that crap feeling you get when you finish uni. You don't know what the hell you are going to do with yourself.’

Rival Consoles combines hard-hitting beats with catchy pop melodies, classical theory with dance. No wonder he released a split 12” with label mate Ólafur Arnalds’ minimal-techno outfit Kiasmos. There is more to this 25 year-old than meets the eye, for those not content with 4/4 beat dance floor stormers; West is fast establishing himself as both a sound designer and programmer. Having repeatedly performed at the Tate Britain Museum in London, where he drew over 2000 visitors into his unpredictable, yet detailed sound drawings ‘…using self-created sound manipulation tools in MAX/MSP and Super Collider’. New York based composer Nico Muhly and UK producer Jon Hopkins are amongst the first to receive West’s trademark remixes.

Previously having performed alongside Venetian Snares, Luke Vibert and Wisp, summer 2011 will see first appearances at festivals.

After a short promo stint to Berlin, Rival Consoles will return to London for an album launch show at The Nest in Dalston on June 23.

'A massive slice of jagged grandiosity...kicks you in the nuts. 'IO' is a party record even snobs can enjoy.' (7/10) – NME

'A new sulphuric wave is about to wash over our dancing forms and reduce us to boogieing bones - and Ryan West, aka Rival Consoles - is riding it on an acid-proof surfboard… leading the crusade against tired welterweight club rhythms' – DJ MAG Fantastic Four Feature

'Writhes in a field of its own, twitching and buzzing like little else... One of the best releases of its kind this year' – CLASH

Erased Tapes Collection III

Various Erased Tapes Artists

Album: Erased Tapes Collection III - Various Erased Tapes Artists -

Label: Erased Tapes Records

Distribuzione: Self

Release Date: 20 giugno 2011

London/Berlin-based Erased Tapes Records celebrate their 4th year with a brand new FREE digital label compilation.

Since early 2007 German-born initiator and founder of London/Berlin-based music label Erased Tapes Records, Robert Raths, has carved out a reputation for discovering innovative new artists from all around the globe. The label comprises a wide spectrum of music – from modern classical to hometronica, intelligent dance to unclassifiable pop music from the future – challenging and inspiring people of all ages alike.

In a recent interview for The Sunday Times, Raths explained: “Music has become so normalised into everything we do that many of the songs we consume on the radio, on our TV or computer screens, have somehow become sanitised. You listen to them, perhaps even get them stuck in your head, but they lack visceral appeal and imagination. So I guess people have started searching for a quiet place that allows them to reflect and dream, something thought-provoking, rather than bombarding.” It’s far from impossible, therefore, to imagine a world that has flipped on its axis, with kids infuriating their rock-loving parents by playing classical music. “The breaking of conventions might be less obvious than the breaking of windows and two-finger salutes,” Raths says, “but nevertheless I hear a subtle notion of change, which I sense is of this time.”

If I don’t enjoy myself listening to your record I will shoot you.' Seven Idiots would meet our hypothetical gunman’s needs perfectly; in fact he’d probably turn himself in meekly to the police with a beaming smile on his face...
