Breaks-Breaks-And More Electro Breaks |
CZECH..... (a.k.a. Mike Kubenk) breaks all barriers and produces a new sound of his own, Electro Breaks music! Thus, Czechs initial step into Canada’s’ Underground in 1989 has spawned a long prosperous career, for Czech has since become a household name for breaks-lovers everywhere. A Vancouver resident for the thirteen years, Czech has further established powerful draw to the already-thriving West Coast club scene. Czech infiltrated the thriving new music scene in Vancouver, BC, and his unique flavour of Breaks, Turntablism, and Comic Personality earned him legendary residencies at all of the city’s hottest nightclubs and helped establish Vancouver's reputation for up front electronic music. Meanwhile Czech had ensured himself household name status on the West Coast, particularly amongst Breaks lovers. His residencies through out Vancouver and Victoria, coupled with his vast musical knowledge and impeccable turntable skills, have helped to establish Czech internationally as one of Canada’s’ leading DJs for up front electronic music. Importantly, though, these residencies have not interfered with his tight touring schedule. Initially self managed, Czechs reputation has led to play at prestigious clubs and massive raves throughout Europe and North America every weekend for last five years. Headlining alongside The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Crystal Method, Rabbit in the Moon, Porno for Pyros, and countless others, has not been uncommon for Czech. It’s a standard formula for world domination and DJ Czech is sticking to it well. His next step - writing and producing his own tracks was inevitable. Constantly building his impressive home studio, his prime outlet for his music so far has been Futuristic Funk Records a joint venture involving himself and two other Vancouverites. Already a label in Vancouver’s foreground, Futuristic Funk Records is aimed at showcasing no only Czechs own material, but other Canadian talent as well. With such an extensive history in the scene, and so many accomplishments under his belt, it is no surprise that Czech continues to represent Canada as one of the most preeminent Breaks DJs in the world. These days Czech primarily spins Break Beats with touch of Electro but he has been known to drop all Old-Skool 45 Funk sets out of the blue and pepper them with some Down-Home Mid Tempo Breaks, just to make sure you’re paying attention. His music comes through the speakers and grabs you by the neck!! NEON STEVE..... (a.k.a. Steve Robertson) has been a bright change in the Vancouver Island music scene as of late. His Flashy Clothes, and Funky Style sets him apart from all the stereotypes. A resident for the North Vancouver Islands #1 weekly Electronic night, "HOUSE TEN85", in Courtenay British Columbia, has seen Neon Steve open up and play alongside such respected names as: The Freestylers, Fort Knox Five, ED209, "Twocker's" Will Bailey, and Czech. Not bad for a kid who has only been at it for just over 1 year... Oh ya, and one more thing... He's all Vinyl! (very rare for this day and age.) Playing everything and anything from 60bpm to 180bpm Neon Steve has got what it takes to make you sweat all night long! |
