Ursula 1000: Myths and Legends of the Sixties

Клубные российские · 25.07.2003

On July 26, at the eMoskvaRime area, the performance of URSULA 1000 will take place: one of the brightest representatives of lounge-pop, a propagandist of the sound and spirit of the sixties. Carefree, sexy, and richly mixed with various sources, URSULA 1000's compositions offer a carefree and pleasant journey into the mythology of the legendary era. Starting at 21:00. The sounds of mambo and cha-cha-cha are interrupted by the tight roar of a bright white boeing passing low over the roofs of luxurious villas in Miami. Tanned beauties in bikinis sit on café terraces, condescendingly observing the ocean tide and narrow-hipped surfers riding the waves. Super-spy James-Sean-Connery-Bond emerges from the frothy white ocean foam and falls into the arms of Ursula Andress, dressed in the smallest bikini in the world. The opening credits emerge from the air to the beat of mambo against the backdrop of sprawling palms, and we immerse ourselves in that wonderful world which, by a strange whim of consciousness, we call the sixties. Even with minimal life experience suggesting that the sixties were not all that remarkable, oh my god, let's not be tedious! we answer to life experience, immersing ourselves deeper and deeper into the nirvana of our own imagination. This is why Alex Gimeno closed his comic book shop and hung a sign, left New York for Miami: everything on the coast reminded him of the swinging sixties and inspired him to great achievements. After thoroughly exploring the possibilities of samplers, synthesizers, and drum machines, Alex recorded the album 'The Now Sound,' returned to New York, and signed with the label Eighteenth Street Lounge Music. He named his project URSULA 1000 after the great blonde in a bikini, Bond's friend and style icon Ursula Andress. His elegant collage of lounge, funk, and Latin percussion was well received by both critics and the public. The legend and myth titled 'the sixties' has been spinning heads for quite some time now: URSULA 1000/Alex Gimeno has played at the most luxurious parties for Prada, Issey Miyake, Hugo Boss, Christian Dior, and clubs APT and Soho Grand Lounge have appointed him as their resident. At the same time, Gimeno finds time for remixes: working on tracks for colleagues Felix da Housecat, Montefiori Cocktail, Nicola Conte, and the theme songs for Sex and The City. In 2002, the new album 'Kinda Kinky' was released, confirming Alex's dedication to the Bond era ideals and causing music critics to say that thanks to Ursula 1000, the 1960s are flourishing in the 21st century. Tanned beauties condescendingly watch the ocean tide and the bronzed athletes, Ursula Andress in the smallest bikini in the world, falling into the arms of the most elegant spy while the sounds of lounge-pop play.
