Denius, talented young producer, managed to win the competition of „young talents of the czech dance scene“ aka Soundczech. An awesome liquid funk tune ‚Fallen Angel‘ (listen now) provided him to release a vinyl at X records. Unfortunately, LP won´t be available. „I've got 4 favourites for a vinyl and right now I'm deciding between them: ‚the Pop thing‘, track feat. Juanita Juarez and MC Vaant, track with Vaant and one liquid thing,“ he reveals. „Defitinely there will be a club thing and some softer stuff.“ Denius doesn't mind further releasing on vinyls but he also does not think about a debut album. „For an album you need an integrated concept and that's what I don't have yet.“

So tonight Koogi, Anakin, Sweg and Vibezoom will entertain you in Jablonec's Street club and 2K, IM Cyber and Sayko will play within In Da Bush featuring Nu:Tone in Praha at Roxy. Tomorrow, on Saturday Trávník Akira will present himself on the festival in Karlovy Vary and 2K will show up in Litvínov's club Pionýr supported by Ghonzales and Koogi. Have a nice weekend!

Multigenre „ethno-dance“ formation. Representatives of „asian underground“ in London. These, who made Natasha Atlas start her own way. TransGlobal Underground prepared to release the new album ‚Impossible Broadcasting‘ and before it's released, the band set off for a tour during which they'll visit Prague's Roxy on April 20th. This time in complete formation and perfectly live! Good occassion to see a live concert again. www.roxy.cz

… and lovely liquid tunes are back again. After a long time, Prague's Roxy will welcome a precious guest from the field of liquid funk (if we still can talk about pure liquid funk sound) this Friday, April 16th. Headliner of next Bush session is DJ Nu:Tone, new face of the label Hospital and „a retirement insurance“ of gentlemans London Elektricity and High Contrast at the same time.

Dylan, the legend of not only british scene will arrive to celebrate the first anniversary of drum´n´bass night Drumstation. Owner of the label Freak (Ill.Skillz released their hit single ‚Be There For You‘ right there) will play on 28th May in Prague's club Matrix. Dylan will be supported by Koogi, Rido and Hellium, which seems to be quite professional line-up. Listen to Dylan's set from Breakneck and radio Pyrotechnic at this site.

Solid Steel Night, resident night of british label Ninja Tune prepared for 30th April to prague´s famous club Radost FX, put down a change in line-up. Polish Skalpel DJs can't participate, that's why Englishman Strictly Kev will replace them. Strictly Kev, proper name Kevin Foakes, is a fellow founder of Ninja Tune, is one member of the crew called DJ Food and stands behind the project Coldcut as well. In Radost FX will perform DJ DK and Sparky Ninja too.

Perhaps this hot news hadn't got cold yet. After Nu:Tone' s bliss (April 16th – take the ladies wit'cha!), in da Bush will link up to „winter with Bad Company“ and welcome D-Bridge (founder of the label Exit records) on 21st May. As usual, july Bush will take place in Karlovy Vary as a part of International Film Festival and this time the guest will be „Full Cycle youngster“ Clipz (07/02). London, Bristol, UK style.

Put in a better way… Moravia. No no, it's no April fool. Agency LEVELB will bring the famous duo Bukem&Conrad who should play at the regular night Break4Beats in Brno. If you like the whale squeaking :), put down in your diaries 15th May – Fléda. Of course we will inform you more about this event lately. By the way, LTJ let his hair grow to a serious mic on his head…hopefully he won't have his 'do cut by then… :)

This week were announced the results of annual contest Dance Awards and the break beat representatives scored quite well! Juanita, Ecson Waldez and label East Authentic even won the cathegories for album of the year, best newcomer, and best label. Shadowbox as a radio program and also a web got onto a medal position, just like In Da Bush as a night and drum'n'bass ended up as the second most favourite style. So… we can say we are happy…
Complete results here.

Washington native Kiko who is closely cooperating with Rob F, Mecha a SU8M3RG3d and releases his tunes on such labels as Hostile or Ohm, ducked it out with Kelis! It´s not that our american r´n´b diva would leave her darling Nas. But it´s been a couple of weeks since her song ‚Milkshake‘ rolls over american music charts and now Kiko decided to remix it. If you rank among „psy“, check out the song here…Dogs On Acid. Na na na, boys are waitin´…

DJ Blue has become the new world record's holder! It took him unbelievable 81 hours to stand behind the decks and mixing without a pause. His support were either the people who visited small club Lubina in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, or normal i-net browsers at live.atlas.cz/blu­emarathon. Yet within the attempt for world record's breach, an english music magazine DJ MAG informed about him. Of course, the real „celebrity“ is only waiting for DJ Blue. Maybe we'll see him on television, you know, in that funny program at channel 1. Shadowbox congratulates!

Talvin Singh wants to live non stop. At least his actual 4th album bears the name ‚Nonstop Flight‘ and has just been released. Singh smartly combinates ambient faces with traditional indian percussion atmosphere. Believe or not, ‚Nonstop Flight‘ is handy not only on the plane or while travelling. Besides Asian Dub Foundation or TransGlobal Underground, Talvin Singh is the most famous representative of so-called „london asian underground“. Unlike ADF, his music is peaceful and meant for meditation and thinking. Try it! [BARTIAS]
