Illustrations from Bucky's Storybook

Illustrations from Bucky's Storybook - Critter Tales From The Really Cool Ranch, (PublishAmerica.com, May 2004) are the featured artwork to be on display for the month of November, 2004. The artwork, created by the author, Shellie Renee Kirby, will be on display in the cafe area of the bookstore.

The recently released children's book from PublishAmerica earlier this summer titled "Bucky's Storybook - Critter Tales From The Really Cool Ranch" will be featured in an art exhibit hosted by the Chapel Hills Barnes and Noble Bookstore for the month of November, 2004.


The artwork, from the book's illustrations, was created by the author, Shellie Renee Kirby, from photographs of the horses and other animals from "The Really Cool Ranch". The book is based on a BLM Mustang owned by the author and his hilarious antics and trouble-making talents he put to use on his humans and fellow animals at the ranch. The illustrations feature several animals also owned by the author and the horse, appropriately named "Buckaroo", AKA "Bucky".


Twelve framed pictures, taken directly from the book, will be on display in the cafe area of the Barnes and Noble Bookstore.

Unfinished Sympathy (Perfecto Mix by Paul Oakenfold) Massive Attack







You may consider Grant Marshall, a.k.a. Daddy G as spiritus rector of what has historically become known as the "Bristol Sound“. It´s that laid back sound that breathes dub, reggae, funk, disco and hip hop, represented by protagonists like Massive Attack, Smith & Mighty, Tricky and Portishead. A sound that left its global traces for more than one and a half decades. And Daddy G is its spiritus rector because he was one of the founders of the Wild Bunch Sound System, out of which later Massive Attack emerged. Besides Mushroom and 3-D, Daddy G was both one of the core members of the group as well as one of the group´s main voices.



Way before being part of a band though, Daddy G was known as a DJ. As a ten year old he already recorded mix tapes, inspired by the DJ boyfriend of his older sister. 1980 he was one of the youngest Bristol DJs, quickly establishing his name as a synonym for an eclectic music style. At the parties at which G played, one could always hear the newest in disco, fresh punk funk from NY, the first rap imports as well as soul and dub reggae. When the Wild Bunch Sound System was founded, Daddy G already was a local celebrity. His DJ sets were not only legendary because of their selection and his mixing skills, but because he rocked the microphone as versatile as the wheels of steel.



For his mix for the newest installment of the "DJ-Kicks“ series, Daddy G dug deep in his record case. "Rock steady baby," sings Aretha Franklin on the penultimate cut of this mix. Rocksteady, of course, was also a Jamaican style of the late 1970s, essentially a kind of slowed-down ska. For Daddy G, reggae is the source. This mix kicks off with two tracks from the legendary Studio One stable, including his "most favourite record ever", Willie Williams' 'Armagideon Time', and proceeds with 'Non Non Non' by Melaaz, a languid French version of a Studio One classic. Barrington Levy's 'Here I Come' is a dancehall classic, Foxy Brown's sassy 'Oh Yeah' is based on an old Toots & the Maytals tune, and Johnny Osbourne's 'Budy Bye' is an early slice of electronic reggae.



The Meters are included with a song for Daddy G's daughter, Ava. That and Aretha's 'Rock Steady' square the reggae-soul circle, the latter in the shape of Danny Krivit's inspirational but extremely hard-to-find edit. This isn't the only rarety on the mix. 'Aftermath' comes in Tricky's original white label version. 'I Against I' was recorded by Massive Attack with Mos Def for the Blade 2 soundtrack and never released anywhere else. Badmarsh and Shri's 'Signs' appears, like several other tracks, in limited edition dubplate form.



It´s obvious that Daddy G included many tracks by his original crew, Massive Attack: Apart from 'I Against I' and a rare mix of 'Karmacoma', Daddy G has also included their groundbreaking remixes of Les Negresses Vertes and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ("the most enjoyable mix we've ever done"), finally ending up with Paul Oakenfold's subtle mix of 'Unfinished Sympathy'.

There are DJs, that get their kicks from playing out obscure white labels that no one knows. And then there´s DJs who simply enjoy playing their favourite records. Daddy G belongs to the latter. On his mix for the DJ-Kicks series he simply says: "These tracks are always in my box.“


"Daddy G creates a beautifully kaleidoscopic mix of old-school lovers rock, funky soul and an eclectic array of sonic surprises to reveal the true impetus of Massive Attack's panoramic and singular sound." - URB Magazine, Oct 2004

Samurai.FM - Jesper Dahlback & Jori Hulkkonen





A double headlining show from the crew at Rotation in anticipation of their upcoming event at Yellow on the 16th October featuring two of Scandanavia's best known electronic producers, Jesper Dahlback and Jori Hulkkonen.


Jesper Dahlback is one of Swedens main producers of electronic music and has been DJ'ing and producing since the late eighties. He started producing techno in 1991 and in 1993 formed the Stockholm based Globe Studios together with Peter Benisch and Adam Beyer and were later joined in 2001 by Joel Mull. In 1995, he started to work with Swedish techno label Planet Rythym along with Cari Lekebusch and began co producing with Adam Beyer. Soon after, he started DK with Thomas Krome. DK is also home to producers like Alexi Delano, John Selway, Jori Hulkkonen and DJ Sneak to name a few. In 1996, he met with Stephan Grieder who had just started the label SVEK and began experimenting with house music, vocals and acoustic instruments.

After releasing several twelve inches under his pseudonym, The Persuader, he made his first album for the label called 'Stockholm' during which time the label SVEK was been nominated for the Swedish Grammy awards twice as well as being label of the year in Mixmag. He has done remixes and records for F-Comm, Poker Flat, Kanzleramt, Earthtones, Drumcode, Missle, Intec, Yoshi Toshi and 2020 Vision to name a few and is currently working on a second solo album. He has recently been playing in famous clubs and venues all over the world and recenty played at Metamorphose this year in Japan with Thomas Krome.

Jori Hulkkonen comes from the north of Finland, a small town called Kemi. In 1989, he began producing music. He started a small independent label Lumi in 1993 with Ari Ruokama. In 1995, he began releasing on Cari Lekebusch's Hybrid and Trainspotter's Nightmare labels and Italy's ACV's Out Of Orbit offshoot. In 1996, he got in touch with F communications and released his critically acclaimed Selkasaari Tracks (F communications) later that year which is an original blend of Detroit soundscapes and Chicago influenced jacking beats.

Production continued and in 1997, Jori released probably his biggest record so far: Jii Hoo Let Me Luv U on F Communications, a record played and praised by DJs and music lovers worldwide. In 1998, Jori reinvented his sound once again on his The Spirits Inside Me album, (F communications) a record that permanently established Jori as a household name in the scene. In 1999 he produced on various labels and did a load of remixes. Now, he lives in Helsinki where he has a monthly residency in Finlands number one club Kerma, has two radioshows on national Radiomafia radiostation and DJ bookings that take him all over the world. In the last year he has been in the studio putting the finishing touches on a new album on F communications which features vocal contributions from Chris Udoh of The Wamdue Kids and Paul Oxley, and a collaboration with Tuomas Salmela, (2020 Vision).

The film has played in six film festivals over the past few months. The Dubrovnik International Film Festival in Croatia was the world premiere and the documentary recently picked up the award for Best Documentary music in film category from the Wine Country Film Festival in Napa Valley. The film was tabbed “A rock solid documentary”, by MicroCinema Magazine. The review also claimed, “’Put the Needle on the Record’ is a perfect example of documentary filmmaking at its absolute best!”

First time director Jason Rem filmed the events of the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida and used that setting as a backdrop to examine many aspects of electronic dance music, DJ's and club culture. The film includes global and historical perspectives as well as interviews and music from many of the top and rising players in the industry.

A review by the Hawaii International Film Festival claimed “Covering the event would be entertaining in itself, but director Jason Rem infuses his coverage with a hyper-kinetic history of electronic music that gets deeper into your head than a 12 inch pneumatic drill that you beg to keep spinning.” They continued. “Ken Burns' JAZZ this is not. An engaging piece of filmmaking from beginning to end, PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD is more than just a document of a festival; it is an event to savor in wonderment.”
