tweek'd crobar takeover

by

Justin Kleinfeld ~ 2005 was quite a year for New Jersey-based house label Tweek’d Records. Led by the guidance of CEO Ralph Cedeno, Tweek’d bombarded the industry with over a dozen hit releases from some of the most respected producers in the business. Tweek’d tracks like TKC featuring Melanie S. “Reflections” and BPT “Moody” (Creamer & K / Saeed Younan Remixes) are in constant rotation at the world’s finest clubs and show no sign of letting up. Tweek’d Records is building on the momentum gained in the past year and has some amazing things lined up for 2006.

Tweek’d Records kicked off the New Year on January 21 with a mind blowing performance by That Kid Chris at New York City super club Crobar. That Kid Chris rocked a killer set that featured a slew of new tracks such as “Show U Love” and several other bombs from the Tweek’d catalogue slated for release this year (2006). However, the highlight of the night was the absolute devastation that hit the dancefloor when That Kid Chris dropped the Austin Leeds remix of DJ Rooster & Sammy Peralta’s “Move Your Body.” This is the kind of track club systems were made for and the crowd went absolutely crazy for the electro madness!

One of the tracks that made the Crobar event special - DJ Rooster & Sammy Peralta’s “Move Your Body” (The Remixes) are now available for purchase digitally on Beatport, DJdownload.com and iTunes and through your favorite record shop for classic vinyl along with the very soon to be released newie from That Kid Chris “Show U Love”. Both projects continue the Tweek’d Records “more bang for your buck” attitude in that both releases are jam packed with remixes. DJ Rooster & Sammy Peralta’s “Move Your Body” (The Remixes) features no less than six remixes from the likes of Austin Leeds, Armand Pena, Eric Entrena, Danny Woo, DJ Gio and Tarot while That Kid Chris’ “Show U Love” features remixes from Jaimy (Fatal Music), Kemist and Joubin & Nicola. These remix packages run the full gamut of the Tweek’d Records sound from electro house to sizzling tribal stormers – it’s all here.

As we move on in the year be on the look out for more quality 12” releases and remixes, the labels first-ever mix CD releases and more great parties around the world. If you’ll be in Miami for the 2006 Winter Music Conference be sure to keep an eye out for the official Tweek’d Records party. More info coming soon!

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

eclipsed eclipse

The solar eclipse viewing from Arkansas turned out to be a huge non-event.  Once again, the media hyped the situation beyond all recognition, forecasting unmanageable crowds, snarled traffic, and a shortage of resources.  None of this happened or would have happened.  It just does not work that way, no matter how badly the media wants it.  Some got caught in their trap though. Many communities braced for the onslaught, along with the Arkansas Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol, with extra staffing and amenities for customers that never materialized.  Churches and community organizations within the path of the eclipse brought in food trucks, cooked up their food for sale, and blocked off parking lots so that they could charge for parking.  Large towns benefited, but the smaller towns were left wondering where everyone had gone to.  Regardless, we walked away with a few good shots of the sun and enjoyed an uncrowded afternoon with friends and family.

d returns to the jam

  The Saturday Open Jam has been missing from our agenda for quite some time now.  It is one the best ways to burn up a Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, listening to some of the best rock and blues musician in town.  This particular occasion featured the return of a longtime resident of the event who had been off the roster for more than year following multiple personal crises, one of which nearly ended his ability to perform at all.  Taking his spot behind the drums once again for a couple of tunes, "D" picked up right where he left off, keeping cadence as if nothing had ever happened.  There were tears among some of the crowd that were closer to him, understanding the extent of his dilemma.  After playing, he admitted stumbling a few times, but everything sounded great from our side of the stage and we look forward to seeing him play again more often.
