RA takes home a Webby
"The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny"
Yes, I know Abba is not that fun nowadays, but I dedicated its track to RA.
By far the best electronic music related website in the world, RA is rewarded this year with a Webby. I've voted them (of course) and never thought, not even for one second, that they won't be the winners. So congratulations guys and keep it up!
Here's RA's way of thanking all of you. :)
Thanks to your votes, RA has won a People's Voice trophy in this year's Webby Awards.
The Webbys are the Internet version of the Grammys or the Oscars, so it's a real honour to be nominated, let alone take away a prize. In 2008 the Webbys received 10,000 entries from over 60 countries, of which five were nominated in each category. Resident Advisor managed to beat the competition and take away the People's Voice trophy in the music category, edging out big boys such as BBC Radio 1 and Pink Floyd.
All that's left to do now is think of an acceptance speech, which in the Webby tradition is limited to five words. Now you've voted, the only thing left to do is make some suggestions - at the moment all we can think of is "We're gushing like Halle Berry" and "Nobody listens to techno, huh?"

Dan Ghenacia - Eyelights [Freak n'Chic]
Dan Ghenacia 'Eyelights'
Freak n'Chic - FNCCD03
Released June 2008
Freak n'Chic label-head Dan Ghenacia presents 'Eyelights' - a deep, dance-demanding insight into Ghenacia's musical world of today, yesterday and with exclusive tracks for the future.
The overall style of the mix is deep house; deep, groovy and hypnotic, but in a modern way - Dan Ghenacia
The idea of the compilation is to 'highlight' what is going on for me as a DJ/producer and with the music I like and play - with the artists I'm working with and the artists I love. For the name, I tried to find something that included the word 'highlights' - in a musical sense - and I also wanted something that 'highlights' the magnifying glass theme on my eye - we found something in between 'Eyelights'. I like it. Dan Ghenacia
Tracklisting:
01. David K. feat Opium 'Western Journey' Freak n'Chic
02. DOP feat. Noze 'The Riot' Milnormodern Records
03. Seth Troxler & Patrick Russell 'Doctor of Romance' Circus Company

Jona is missing the gig on Friday
I have a good news and a bad news. Should I start with the good one? No way, let's try the bad one first: Jona will miss his gig at Studio Martin on Friday, 25th of April. Jona was suppose to play at an event where he was invited alongside DJ T. and Roby.

Nights.ro Awards 2008
Last day without knowing the results of the Nights.ro Awards 2008.
Without any doubt, Nights.ro Awards are the most important event of the year on the clubbing scene in Romania. All the DJs, VJs, producers, promoters, agents, sponsors, artworkers, club owners work the whole year and they are waiting for the start of the new one so they can see how much love they have from the public side.
It's all about the public in the end of it all. And no matter what are you doing during the year, Nights.ro Awards is about "doing it well". Tonight we are all looking forward for the Nights.ro @ WTP with Special Guest - Samim (live) feat Miguel Toro.
We, The Mission and Studio Martin, as brands, been rewarded many times already at the last year's awards. This is year we are nominee again at many cathegories, but since it's the first time I represent this two brands in front of the clubbers, it's the first time when Nights.ro Awards really matters and I'm very nervous about the results.
Studio Martin is nominee as the Best Club in Romania in 2007 and many parties entered the category Best Club Party in Romania. The Mission is nominee as Best Events Organizer and, as well, its events are included in the Best Event of 2007 - such as The Chemical Brothers @ Sala Polivalenta, Deep Dish @ Arenele Romane etc.
My boys, Livio & Roby, are nominee at the following categories: Livio for Best DJ, Roby for Best Upcoming DJ (since he started to play alone at the end of 2006), Livio & Roby as Biggest Name to Represent Romania outside the country, Monochrome (Livio & Roby feat George G) winning track of Heineken Music Thirst Studio 2007, Pearl, is included as Best Romanian Track of the Year and a couple of their sets - such as Monochrome live @ Nights.ro 6 Years Anniversary Party and Monochrome - Children of House FWD 01 Album Launch @ Studio Martin for the Romanian Set of the Year or Best Club Party. Unfortunately, even if they win or not at any category, Livio & Roby are in Miami playing at the Winter Music Conference, along names like Steve Lawler, Clive Henry, Jamie Jones and Audiofly at the Viva Music party and on the terrace of Stereo Club. So George G will be tonight, at the Awards, waiting for Nights.ro to announce its winners this year.
Good luck everybody, but fingers crossed for the names I represent, mkay? :o)

John Digweed – Transitions Vol 4
John Digweed concludes the first chapter of his Transitions series with a bang…
Since it’s launch Transitions has become one of - if not - the most anticipated releases in the compilation calendar; over the past two years its single disc, twice-yearly format has provided dance music fans a regular, contemporary snapshot of John. Now the first chapter in the Transitions’ series reaches its conclusion with the highly anticipated fourth volume.
“This was perhaps the hardest one yet,” says Digweed, “The proximity between releases meant each new volume was strongly influenced by its predecessor - as we moved from one to the other they had to relate and make sense. ”
So, a real challenge. Just how did John go about tackling it?
“I’ve developed the amount of tracks and layering over the series,” he elaborates, “And we’ve taken it to the next level with this latest volume, it’s the most intense and intrinsic yet, which meant replacements, additions, editing and a lot of time consuming assessments and re-assessments.”
Over the course of 22 tracks and 73 minutes John weaves a unique musical thread. From favourites such as Ink & Needle, Guy J and Pig & Dan through to welcome debuts from Henry Saiz, Myers Briggs or Soliquid, all are concisely constructed in the mix to the point where 3 are often playing at anyone time. Infact, due the resulting complexity, John decided to re-structure the trackmark points to better reflect the more developed passages – and so 22 records became 10 (see full tracklist below), as he elaborates, “In trackmarking this way I am able to highlight the unique qualities of the mix. Whilst it hopefully retains that signature Digweed sound, I’ve used modern production techniques to create an album that’s unlike anything you’ll ever hear me do in a club.”
And the future? “Let’s keep it about this latest volume for now,” John affirms, “Otherwise I think I’d be doing it a disservice!” We couldn’t agree more: Transitions Vol.4 is one of the most original compilations you’ll hear this year and a fitting finale to the series in its current guise…
John Digweed – Transitions Vol.4 is out late April 2008.

Marc Romboy 'Contrast'
"Contrast" by Marc Romboy
Released June
Systematic Recordings
Systematic label head Marc Romboy brings his second album 'Contrast' into existence.
'Contrast is the dissimilarity or difference between things.'
The single to accompany the album will be 'Fly Away' - released 14 May.
Album tracklisting:
1. The Beat - Vs. Chelonis R. Jones
2. Fly Away - Vs. Blake Baxter
3. Iceland
4. Ey Mind - Vs. Mr. K-Alexi
5. Karamabolage
6. Side FX - Vs. Chelonis R. Jones
7. Acid Love - Vs. Mr. K-Alexi
8. Sonora
9. Luna's World
10. Elif
"It has been stated and it's one of my life philosophies that a human needs contrasts to be happy. Apart from this I really think that the tracks on the album are like a contrast too. When you listen to 'Sonora' and afterwards to 'Elif', it is a high contrast. But I like it [contrast], and I hate to repeat myself, which is why I always have to produce new things and ideas, so that it's hard to put me in one category." - Marc Romboy
Romboy's second album, following his brilliant debut LP 'Gemini' released in 2006, sees an electronic album of collaborations with some of dance music's most excellent vocalists. Chelonis R. Jones - known for releases on Get Physical and for his collaborations with Röyksopp - contributes on two releases. Blake Baxter - a regular Romboy collaborator who has also released on Kevin Saunderson's KMS imprint, Tresor, Disko B and Underground Resistance - adds his vocals to 'Fly Away'. And Mr. K-Alexi - one of Chicago's finest who has also collaborated with artists including Larry Heard, Robert Owens, Will Smith and Felix Da Housecat, lends his voice to two tracks on the album.
"The style of the album is simply electronic music with soulful elements and Detroit/Chicago techno/house influences.. I've chosen all these collaborations because I love to include soul into the electronic music I make. And the warm and emotional voices of these people contribute exactly what I love. I couldn't make instrumental tracks with a computer only. Sometimes yes, but working with voices is always a beautiful thing." - Romboy

'Contrast is the dissimilarity or difference between things.'
The single to accompany the album will be 'Fly Away' - released 14 May.
Album tracklisting:
1. The Beat - Vs. Chelonis R. Jones
2. Fly Away - Vs. Blake Baxter
3. Iceland
4. Ey Mind - Vs. Mr. K-Alexi
5. Karamabolage
6. Side FX - Vs. Chelonis R. Jones

"It has been stated and it's one of my life philosophies that a human needs contrasts to be happy. Apart from this I really think that the tracks on the album are like a contrast too. When you listen to 'Sonora' and afterwards to 'Elif', it is a high contrast. But I like it [contrast], and I hate to repeat myself, which is why I always have to produce new things and ideas, so that it's hard to put me in one category." - Marc Romboy
Romboy's second album, following his brilliant debut LP 'Gemini' released in 2006, sees an electronic album of collaborations with some of dance music's most excellent vocalists. Chelonis R. Jones - known for releases on Get Physical and for his collaborations with Röyksopp - contributes on two releases. Blake Baxter - a regular Romboy collaborator who has also released on Kevin Saunderson's KMS imprint, Tresor, Disko B and Underground Resistance - adds his vocals to 'Fly Away'. And Mr. K-Alexi - one of Chicago's finest who has also collaborated with artists including Larry Heard, Robert Owens, Will Smith and Felix Da Housecat, lends his voice to two tracks on the album.
"The style of the album is simply electronic music with soulful elements and Detroit/Chicago techno/house influences.. I've chosen all these collaborations because I love to include soul into the electronic music I make. And the warm and emotional voices of these people contribute exactly what I love. I couldn't make instrumental tracks with a computer only. Sometimes yes, but working with voices is always a beautiful thing." - Romboy

The sound of Get Physical goes on the road this spring rock and roll style, with 2 of its shiniest stars M.A.N.D.Y. and Heidi playing at every show. Exciting British/Italian production duo Audiofly will be joining the tour from May 5th – May 10th while the phenomenal Booka Shade will also be guesting on April 24th @ Mezzanine, San Francisco.
The land mark tour kicks off in spectacular form in Miami on March 27th @ Studio A with a mind-blowing line up including M.A.N.D.Y., Heidi, Tiefshwarz, Junior Boys, Noze and Italoboyz. Beatport is on board as the title sponsor and will be offering special Get Physical download packages at each tour date.
The opening party is a repeat of the WMC showcase which was both sold-out and the most talked about event of 2007 featuring M.A.N.D.Y., Booka Shade, Heidi, Claude Vonstroke, Jesse Rose and Dixon. The rest of this tour follows with a similarly impressive host of treats including conceptual visuals and décor; thus bringing the true Get Physical European vibe to America for the first time. Get Physical usually reserves events of this scale for the likes of Sonar in Barcelona and Watergate in Berlin.
A tour of this magnitude proves Get Physical is at the pinnacle of new wave, cutting edge labels. Achieving something unique it retains the independent vibe while effortless bridging the gap with the hipster kids and the fanatical dance followers, pioneering the way for the next generation of dance music fans and stars alike.
With acts such as M.A.N.D.Y., Booka Shade, DJ T, Samim and Heidi signed to its roster Get Physical is often home to some of the biggest tracks at any given moment.
After launching at WMC there are 15 dates over a short space of time with intense touring from late April until mid-May. Part of this extravaganza’s ground will be covered on a tour bus. Following the tour will be the usual media circus and dedicated M.A.N.D.Y. admirers that seem to surround them at every turn. M.A.N.D.Y, Heidi and co will be playing to over 20,000 people in the duration of the tour.

Luciano to mix Fabric 41?
For the moment it's just a rumor that appeared on RA after seeing the Fabric website where it's the cover artwork uploaded on the press area. Even if we got used to see funny faces on the covers of the Fabric compilations, Luciano's looks like a small corner of paradise. The rumor isn't confirmed anywhere, not even on Luciano's myspace. Looking forward for the official announcement on this compilation and eventually a tracklist. C'mon Luciano! We need this Fabric 41 from you!
