On Saturday, October 8, an acid-jazz party by Miso and Mantis labels will be held at the Gaudi Arena. Featuring Charles Webster, Atjazz featuring Clara Hill, Paul Waine, Nick Morley, and Sanches.
Charles Webster aka Presence, Love From San Francisco, Furry Phreaks, Colourful Karma, began composing music at the age of 15 in the early '80s in Sheffield and today is one of the few musicians moving forward all the more predictable and stagnant dance culture.
Over 200,000 of his albums have been sold worldwide, though he has never been a "mainstream" artist and had no hits in the Top 10. Charles abandoned all his projects and labels and switched to the next as soon as he and his fans grew tired of them, and thus all of them gained cult status among house music lovers. Next up is a new album Presence, the second solo album for Peacefrog, along with a series of new releases on Charles's latest label Miso, founded jointly with At Jazz. Charles's achievements as a DJ were particularly recognized when he was invited as a headliner to celebrate the last birthday of one of the world's best clubs, Fabric (London).
At the beginning of his career, Martin Iveson created all the musical score for one of the most popular computer games in the world - "Tomb Raider". Soon, in collaboration with Andy Mac, he opened the label "Mantis Recordings". Under the pseudonym Atjazz, he released his first release in 1996 – the single "Story", followed by the album "That Something". The rights to distribute this disc were bought by the largest record companies "Irma Records" (Italy) and "Sony" (Japan).
In 2001, Atjazz released his second record - "Labfunk", after which Martin became one of the most respected musicians and DJs.
Martin’s records have been released on the "Compost" label, and for "Magic Number" he created the album "The Day", released on "Stereo Deluxe". However, Martin does not forget his passion for computer games, continuing to write music for game consoles and new versions of "Tomb Raider".
Clara Hill knows exactly how to play with her voice depending on the beat and atmosphere of the melody. Her career started in the '80s when she was a backup singer for Madonna at the age of 17, and she founded an acid-jazz collective called "Superjuice", which earned a great reputation in Berlin clubs in the early '90s. At one of her performances, Clara met DJ Alex Barck from "Jazzanova", and in 1998 he introduced her to Stefan Leisering and Axel Reinemer, who recorded several tracks for the "Extended Spirit" project with her. The song "No Use", recorded by Clara and Stefan, appeared on one of the Jazzanova albums. Meanwhile, Clara sang in another collective - "Stereoton" - they played jazzy hip-hop, which was a wonderful opportunity for the young singer to develop her voice.
