Luna-C & Reeve - Remorse And Glory [VIDEO] (Taken from KFA66 - Risk! EP)

Luna-C Killed The VideoStar! No it's not meant as a joke but a great sign to draw your attention and upgrade your luv to the legendary producer/dj and owner of Kniteforce spirit!

So.. The second video is now up, as promised from him, and looks more banging than expected! This time 'Remorse And Glory' following up to the 'Take Me Home' is a complete hardcore burner, gabber like, with lyrics coming from the heart (as Chris keeps on sayin about the whole Risk! EP)

"Remorse & Glory was a whole different bunch of issues. I hired a friend who runs a film company to film and edit it. This was filmed in downtown Raleigh in the snow, and on a bridge above a freeway at night and also in a studio. It took a lot of planning. I pitched down the track so that when recording the footage, I was singing it at 75% slower than it should be but doing my hand movements etc at double the speed. Then, once the recording was finished, we sped the film up – this made it so that my hand movements were ludicrously fast but my lips were still in sync. I was very pleased with the result."

Rising High Recs Remastered Back Catalog Online

Here at the blog, we have masive respect and admiration for Grimey Rob the man responsible for getting the back catalogs of several oldskool imprints online and remastered, White House, Impact, Ruff Guidance and now Rising High originally founded by the late Caspar Pound with a legacy that goes way back to the birth of of breakbeat hardcore in 1991, the digitally remastered back cat is now online available to purchase with a handful of releases currently available and more to come, you can pick up classics like 'The House Is Mine' 'Rainbows In The Sky' and many others here. While not wishing to go on a rant, just a bit of encouragement rather, anyone in the business will know what a labour of love it it is to do this, the cost of mastering, artwork, distribution etc....Fans of famous Rock/Pop/Reggae artistss from way back when are always ready to support the music they love and reinvest, in contrast although we may claim to love the oldskool, the failed attempts at getting Altern 8 & LFO to the U.K Xmas No1 in recent years are telling, sure we may have it on vinyl but it costs a couple of quid for a wav and even less for a 320 mp3, we could push these tracks into the Beatport, Juno & Trackitdown charts and show oldskool is still alive, just a thought to ponder on.

Luna-C & Reeve - Take Me Home [VIDEO] (Taken from KFA66 - Risk! EP)

The Hardcore master Luna-C has revealed yesterday a new videoclip of him combining his hardcore ID with his songwriting & lyrics aspect like Reeve. It's titled 'Take Me Home' and it's the 1st from the 4 videos in total of his forthcoming personal 'Risk! EP' .

On this release Luna-C is actually giving a self tone with lyrics from soul and a different kind of expression this time. It's maybe more deep than ever as he's experimenting on Hardcore through his emotions and real feelings. And finally that what is all about art...

Worth sharing some words from his new and big blogpost on the official KF Website talking about this project and the 4track 'Risk! EP' [KFA66]

"....It has taken over 8 months to put this together. It is called the Risk E.P because it is risky on a number of levels. Firstly, I am combining personal lyrics with the various styles of hardcore and d’n’b and gabber and old school that I love. This is, obviously, a bad idea. Secondly, it involves me singing, which again, it could be argued, is a bad idea. Thirdly, I cannot write lyrics that don’t have truth in them. For a person that does not put his feelings out there in the world, that is terrifying. And right now you are probably thinking the same thing as I was when I started to do this E.P – “Seriously? A hardcore Dj combining guitars and hardcore? Emotional lyrics that are not about rainbows or flying high in the sky? And lets call it a…passable…sort of singing? That is a disaster waiting to happen"

WF13:: Artemis - Cheesy Madness & Emotion [WAFFLE RECORDS]

Had some chat with Luffy asking him to gimme some info about the new offerings from his own label Waffle Records, posted on his Soundcloud page some days ago.

So.. Artemis was started as a project from Luffy (21yrs old) for...relaxing . This 2track release is inspired by the really early work of Dj Sharkey ('Can, Can You Do It') and Billy Daniel Bunter (the first GBT Release for example).

Happy hardcore overdose from Hungary's skillful producer, who's in my opinion on the most outstanding and mental nuskool brains at the moment despite his youth.

Hands in the air and smiley weapons on your faces..!

Props to the L!

REALWILD present - The Insight Movie [Hardcore Movie From The Hardcore City]

I had some good chat these days with a Russian warrior based in Omsk called Alexander Stabrovski aka Johnny Kaos sharing with me his brand new project as directed along with Felix Kelevra. It's about a Hardcore Movie from the Hardcore city driven by the bright ideas of these rave activists in Siberia.
And the title of it?.... 'The Insight Movie'

Check out some useful info he gave me about this new movie/documentary and watch the trailer of it aswell to go deeper in the underground.... Something different from the others that needs your support and will surely draw your attention.

A big уважение (respect) to all Russian Oldskool & Rave masses!




" We make a documentary about rave culture in Siberia, Russia. Please, help us to spread information about it!

We are a group of friends, shoot a film about dance culture and alternate lifestyle of Russian periphery. Our city - an ordinary, pale and hopeless hotbed of depression and hatred, the city-factory, like the rest of provincial cities in Russia. Our film tells a story of the poorly known world of non-metropolis, non-touristic, 'ordinary' Russia, and people trying to overcome it.

We have always been associated with dance subculture. When we had the opportunity to shoot - we decided to tell what is going on inside the culture and how it reacts to the processes taking place in society, how it affects the people and who is involved in this process. We don't shoot a film for our city, or for our country, or for the international community, because rave scene has no boundaries.

Playing music and dance from the immemorial times and, it seems, will do it till the end of mankind. Choice and motivation, family and finding place in society - our film raises important questions as to the local audience, and for society as a whole. At the same time, the movie is not intended as a complaint book, primarily, this film is an anthem of freedom, peace, respect and love. And yet it's fun and cool!"

" The film is in its final stage. Within six months of filming we visited many different places, filmed kilometers of film strip, made a couple of discoveries and got a lot of emotions. All this time the film was financed from our own funds, as well as unlimited help of friends, so all this time, we remain independent, controling the creative process.

Our film is not about strictly rave culture themself. The first, it's about rave culture in russian reality. People in this country living a very special lifestyle, and it's difficult here to be a raver. That's what our movie about. It's not about genres & styles of music, it's not about history of rave movement in Russia. We talking about what is going on here & now. We wanna know how the society transform the subculture of raves & on the contrary what can we as a ravers suggest to make this world a better place.

But, our movie of cource contain a lot of music materials (exspecialy russian producers) & videos from parties, a lot of fun stuff. You know from drum&bass to gabber, from techno to breakbeat, even edm-culture. Of cource, the first, we talked with promoters, DJs, producers, second, we talked with everyone who feels themself a raver or have a message about it. We got some "stars", like DaVip, DMNDZ... Also, we're talking about a specific 'rave problems', like drugs, or relationships with parents, or how is society perceives us... "

About us   " That's not so easy, because it's our first serious project. We live in Omsk, Russia. We are two guys, a media activists, who cares about the future of a culture, or maybe, we should say, future of a lifestyle we chosed. I have two blogs on vk.com (http://vk.com/true_skool and http://vk.com/e_rave) - where i acquaint russian audience with rave culture. This is my soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/johnny-kaos) with one of my mixes. The second guy is engaged in photography & video (here is his Vimeo blog with some videos - https://vimeo.com/user23534925)."


    

" So, we promoted a few local parties and saw that something is going wrong with understanding the ideas of our culture, many people just don't know that the rave culture is more than just a music. And that's not only about parties, that's about whole culture.
People don't see the connection, but everything is united in the culture: this means that if you're in bad political situation, for example, or have a low level of education mass of people - it's affect at your very personal subcultural relationship. That's why we decided to do this project. But it's not so easy to makes people believe you. That another big problem: how to be heard, if mass of people not interested in deep understanding that types of things. We have this situation in Russia, and we appeal to the international community, even though we are familiar with the texts of Christopher Howell about 'hardcore scene 2015' and we understand that things goes not good on the international scene now. I think our movie would be interesting for you guys, because we faced the same problems and questions.

We are not anonimous, but the world don't know about us, and we find that it's ok, because the case is not about us. Thank you for talking about it with me. It's very important for me. "
