ПОДКАСТ #72: THE VILLAGE ORCHESTRA	+5 3 недели

На электронной сцене Руарид Лоу (Ruaridh Law) под псевдонимом The Village Orchestra или сокращенно TVO появился в середине нулевых и сразу показал, что в Шотландии, кроме набившего оскомину с годами техно от Slam есть и много других форм электронной музыки. Первый альбом, где преимущественно была смесь из эмбиента, IDM и техно, Руарид выпустил в 2004 году. Вообщем-то, так в его будущем творчестве и повелось: много экспериментов, глубокое техно и абстрактный эмбиент мирно уживались друг с другом. Этот же набор перекинулся и в диджейские миксы, в его продюсерскую и журналистскую деятельноcть. TVO стал писать рецензии на известных сайтах FACT и Resident Advisor, в журнале The Wire, открыл свой собственный лейбл Broken20, а такие стилистические горки в его миксах, куда помимо перечисленного, естественно, добавился и дабстеп (даром, что он британец) стали уже визитной карточкой. Это The Village Orchestra в полной мере демонстрирует в специально записанном миксе для mixmag.info. Приятного прослушивания!




Your city: Glasgow
Your club (or any venue you usually have gigs at): Used to be affiliated with the Numbers nights in Glasgow but split from them 2 years ago. Now play at various nights/festivals etc but have played several times for the Plex/Colony/Waxworks nights in London and Glasgow
First record bought: A «Now Dance» compilation, spinoff off the pop music «Now Thats What I Call Music» compilations...it had Technotronic, Altern8 etc on it, and still one of my favourite all time tracks, «Hardcore Uproar» by Together.
When (where, how, etc.) did you start deejaying: Like most people, bought turntables just to try out and started messing about. Myself and sometime djing partner Production Unit (whom I run my Broken20 label with) then got some gigs at a night called ’Off The Hook’ in Glasgow through some friends, which then led to the setting up of the Numbers nights that we were one set of residents at.
Number of records in your collection: 2000 maybe? Not sure, have never counted them!
Role model: Musically it’s Bill Drummond of the KLF. A constant inspiration in every way, from his earlier days managing bands through the KLF and on to his art work and books.
The most important thing while mixing (playing music) is... Balance between playing for the crowd and playing for yourself.
My strongest fear is... I live in constant fear of technical problems, because they happen constantly....
Thing, which is always with you on the journey A book, headphones, pad and pen
When I am not busy with music, I run a cafe in Glasgow, have two children to look after (and a wife), run a label...I’m very busy : )
Music is... The great universal
Top 5 records (of the moment): in no order:
