COOPA Sessions: Year Mix 2009

Well the end of 2009 is upon us, and its finally time to release the mix that tells us the whole story of what went by this year!!


'As we move closer to the end of an era, we often let our minds wander as it takes us on a journey to let us reminisce about the year that has passed right before our eyes. We wonder what emotions flowed through our veins and what we were all feeling inside. These memories are often triggered by the simple sounds of a riff, a stroke of a chord, or a melodic phrase that passes through our ears and into our bodies..It is the power of music that makes our mind keep that memory...

As long as musical elements still exist, those memories can never be lost.... Now it is time to rediscover those memories, let the past become the present and the present to push us into the future...

Let us take the journey to rediscover those memories we all want to feel again..

Ladies and Gentlemen.. This was your year: 2009' - COOPA

BT feat. Jes: Every Other Way

Now I dont usually post Trance releases but this song is just too good to keep from you all! BT is a pioneering artist and a widely acknowledged creator of multiple musical idioms including Trance and New School Breaks. BT is known in his production circles for his signature technique, the stutter edit, also known as the BT stutter and pioneering techniques that are widely adopted in other idioms of music. This technique consists of taking a small sample of a sound and then repeating it rhythmically.

This EP package includes the Album Mix, Phunk Investigation, Whelan & DJ Scala, and of course the fantastic remix by Trance sensation Armin Van Buuren. His remix is featured in the Universal Religion: Chapter 4 Compilation, which was released three months ago.

I Hope You Enjoy!!

Larry Tee: Let's Make Nasty (Don Diablo Remix)

Don Diablo gets nasty with New York nightclub legend Larry Tee's forthcoming single 'Let's Make Nasty', out soon on Ultra Records!!

Don Diablo, who's currently on tour through North America, gets nasty with New York nightclub legend Larry Tee's forthcoming single 'Let's Make Nasty' on Ultra Records, adding tons of subbass, freaky synthstabs and his trademark guitarlicks, turning 'Let's make Nasty' into an effective clubrocker Don Diablo style. Play this baby on a big soundsystem in a dark underground club and damage will be done to the dancefloor. Expect Don Diablo to cause damage to dancefloors in Houston (Rich's, 17 Dec), El Paso (Club 101, 18 Dec) and San Diego (Voyeur, 19 Dec) this week!

I Hope You Enjoy!

BIOGRAPHY: JONO FERNANDEZ

Meet Jono Fernandez. You might think you know him from such two-dimensional catchphrases as “progressive breaks prodigy”, “tech-funk pioneer”, or even the more recent “Ableton Live guru”, but if you were forced to sum up his career circa 2009 in three words they would be “expect the unexpected”. Because while Jono has been all of those things and many more in the past, these days you’re just as likely to hear him crafting future hip house anthems or big room bombs, schooling the next generation of producers in his beloved Ableton or contributing backing vocals (among other things) to his new band project Friends Of Mine. In short, Jono is one of those rarest of acts – a DJ and producer who not only says he plays music from across the board, but actually delivers on that promise.

Just a brief look at the significant signposts across his career supports his claim. When progressive house legend Dave Seaman was putting together his Global Underground 022 mix representing Melbourne in 2002, Jono’s ‘Intruder’ was one of the first tracks picked for inclusion. A few short years later British breakbeat don Meat Katie recognised Jono’s burgeoning skills in the realms of tech-funk by calling on him for the intercontinental studio collaboration that produced ‘Pace’ from his Vibrator long-player. And in 2007 his ‘Rubber’ co-production with fellow Australian wunderkind Kid Kenobi found its way on to Ministry Of Sound’s flagship Clubber’s Guide To 2007 compilation.

With both his underground and commercial papers rubber-stamped and his music in the crates/wallets/hard drives of pretty much every significant DJ in his genres of choice, Jono did the unthinkable and disappeared from view through much of 2008. But this was a temporary hiatus from the DJ circuit rather than a complete musical hibernation as Jono plotted his next move, determined to make it the right one. If you need another catchphrase “quality over quantity” springs to mind, though thankfully the fruits of his recent studio labours present plenty of both.

The first single set to drop is ‘Girl Vs Boy’, powered by a throbbing electro bass riff but driven home by a deliciously catchy vocal which is sure to lodge itself in the minds of many – no wonder acts like Nick Thayer, Rob Kay & Shamus, D'opus, Destroy Disco, Micah Earnshaw and Blaze Trip have all lined up for a shot at a remix. Then you’ve got the progressive gem ‘Everytime’ featuring the haunting vocal of Kathleen Mitchell, re-discovered by the head honchos at Proton in its original breakbeat guise on an old promo mix and finally refashioned by Jono five years later for release in late 2009. And then there’s the Tom Piper collaboration ‘Rockst*r’, a rollicking hip house groove which chucks a handful of genres through the blender and then adds Marvin Priest (yes, that’s Maxi’s son) to a mix which will be just as at home on radio as it will on club dancefloors.

And we can’t forget Friends Of Mine, the final piece in the Jono Fernandez puzzle – for now at least. The collaboration with long-time friend Tim Watson (that’s him you hear on ‘Girl Vs Boy’ as well) has been bubbling away under the surface for many years has now evolved into a full-blown band project. Jono’s teenage guitar rock influences – not to mention his skills on piano, violin and even the flute – all seep into the sound of a project which sits in the same ballpark as the indie dance acts of this world yet still carries many of the recognisable hallmarks of Jono’s own production.

And make no mistake – you might not be able to put his sound in a box, but even his genre-spanning DJ sets have a sound that is undoubtedly his own, though when you do see him drag his laptop and MIDI controllers into a club prepare yourself for a ride which could take you anywhere. Luckily with Jono Fernandez at the controls, you know you’re in good hands.
