[TOR013] RETURN OF THE HARDCORE [PRE-ORDER 12" Black Vinyl @ Tornado Records]

A1- Talking Needle - Sending My Love

A2 - Talking Needle - Music Is Moving

B1 - Damage Inc. - Sound of Eden

B2 - Oneplayz - Afterglow

2017 has surely started off pretty awesome, especially what deals with the quantity and quality of Vinyl releases into the Nuskool direction of Hardcore & Jungle sounds!
Polish established label of TORNADO RECORDS, returns after 3 years of break in releases, announcing great news coming up...
After the huge 2dayer Oldskool Festival in Nu-Rave capital of Lodz, DJ Tornado came back about a month ago announcing his next plans during this year!

- TOR013 black 12" Vinyl record (May 2017)
- TOR014 black 12" Vinyl record (September 2017)
- TOR015 black 12" Vinyl record (December 2017)
- Boat Party / London / Thames River (around June-August 2017)


And so TOR013 has been unleashed these days under the name "Return of the Hardcore" including 4 tracks that totally represent the present and the evolution of Oldskool. A sort of Nu-Rave anthemic vibes maybe better.
Oneplayz, label's favourite son and signed artist giving an afterglow feeling onto his classic Rave Breaks with pianos and vox all around, followed by Talking Needle, a D&B and Hardcore Breaks producer, who offers 2 big hardcore breaks tunes, which I totally admire!
Closing with Damage Inc.'s takeover on the classic 'Sound of Eden', submitting the final 4 tracks of this wonderful return, this big 4tracker 12" Vinyl release, which is limited so you have to hurry up and grab/pre-order your copies as soon as possible!

Old Skool Festival 2016 - Interview with ONEPLAYZ

Interview by DJ 2NZY (Damage Inc./Sonic Fortress) & GL0WKiD

Prologue & Editorial by GL0WKiD

Introducing you the hardcore version of Super Mario or even better let's say 'Super Mariusz of Łódź'! A very talented producer/DJ, who has a healthy strong passion for Breakbeat music and was one of the most outstanding acts during OSF2016, having also made the official Anthem of the huge 2dayer festival alongside the magic vox of Martyna Sierminska.
We've caught him during the festival days and have to admit that he's a top lad, cheerful and vodka lover! But in the end, who isn't in this crazy city?

Tell us a little about yourself, how old are you and how long have you been involved in the scene?

Hi guys! I'm 34 years old, hail from the Rave Capital of Lodz and I've been DJ'ing since I was 15 and into production over the last 6 years.


Great! Who are your inspirations?

Nefti (A Lodz legend!), Baby D, Rob Playford - Moving Shadow Records, Ratpack and Lipmaster Mark.


Some legends there! Who would you love to collab with?

I'm fortunate enough to collab with Nefti many times on DJing and producing, as we live very near to each other.
Apart from this collab, I would love to work with Baby D or Ratpack!


What is your favourite Oneplayz track?

This is easy! It's 'The Old Skool Festival Anthem' featuring the amazing vocals of Martyna Sierminska. This is available as a free download from my Soundcloud.
Please go and check it out!

What do you use for producing your tracks?

You should always be yourself and make what's in your heart,
My favourite tools are FL (Fruity Loops) and the Korg M1 vst for it's classic piano and organ sounds.


Who are you most looking forward to seeing at Old Skool Festival?

I can't wait to see Rozalla! She is amazing!

Other than her, partying with Damage Inc., Glowkid and Nefti. Crazy guys!


What was your 1st gig and what was your favourite?


My first gig was at Phobia 2001 and my favourite has been The Old Skool Festival for sure and I want to thank Tornado for giving me the opportunity!

So what's next for Oneplayz?

More Breaks sets and tunes under the name Oneplayz!
Looking to work with Martyna againg because she has beautiful vocals!
Starting a DnB aka under the name Liquid Lighting and looking forward to future gigs in our group Pianoholix featuring me, Nefti and Dymeq.

Oneplayz has released during summertime, a marvellous 11track personal album, celebrating his 15 years in the scene. The album is out now on Nefti's label Intensive Recordings and you can grab it on Beatport HERE. Class Breakbeat & Rave Breaks work!

Old Skool Festival 2016 - Interview with DJ TORNADO

pic by www.facebook.com/tornadorec

Interview by DJ 2NZY (Damage Inc.)

Prologue & Editorial by GL0WKiD

A hard working man, an established member of the almighty Polish Hardcore Skool keeping it for real from 90's till now, running his own label Tornado Records, and being faithful and devoted on what he loves mostly!
And what's that?
Oldskool Music, you can generally call it and our Captain, Marcin Kret better known as DJ TORNADO will do the rest!
Old Skool Festival 2016 was the huge 2dayer festival happened throughout our community, our scene, our music! And it came to be higher than last year and a trademark of the present history of Hardcore!
More details about our Captain are following on his answers...


Hi Tornado! Firstly congratulations on a bigger, better and amazing Old Skool Festival! Lodz really is the Rave Capital!
I see you're really passionate about this music genre, from your DJ sets with Leo, which are amazing every time, to the label and store promoting these artists and the genre, and even from small events to these huge festivals! All I can say is WOW!
I am still suffering from the weekend, how long do you think you need to recharge?


Well I think it may take even a month as I was working hard for last 6 months and really need a long holiday. Everyone was complaining about my behaviour, family and friends.
OSF2016 affected my private life so I need my life to get back to me.

Do you have any plans for a forthcoming release with your label?

Not at this moment. Last vinyl was released in 2013 and it was very, very limited double picture disk, but since this time I have no new ideas and plans, today market is different.
I'd wish to release something but only on vinyl. There are not too many vinyl collectors and DJs playing vinyl so that's why I don't have any vision.
Another problem is a good vinyl press company. There was one excellent at Crickelwood but they shut down. Recently I was doing TOR011 in Czech and was a crap even after 3 different test press.
It's better not to press vinyl rather then press low quality. If you are doing thousands records then you can afford for the best quality and expensive factories, but if you are doing 300-400 records then you need to search for affordable companies and usually the don't offer good quality.


I see you have pushed and promoted Polish artists.

Do you have any favourite Polish artists?

My favourite artists are Oneplayz, Nefti and Wonter.

And who are your favourite Old Skool artists?

Difficult to say as there are many, but if I could select one only it would be Acen.



Are there any artists you would love to get for the next Old Skool Festival?

A list is long. However organising this level of event involves really big money and huge amount of your time.
Everything depends on sponsors, as two previous events I have financed from my own pocket, but it is really difficult to manage this kind of event.
If I will not find someone serious and strategic then I will become retired rather than doing something small except free parties for friends up to 100 people in a garage or hired small pub.

Why is this music so alive in Lodz do you think?

Because culture is still alive,  people love it, DJs are doing events, also long tradition and legend 'New Alcatraz' makes it alive.
Also, this music has a real power and energy!

OK, this is a tough one... Being so busy you don't catch everything going on in the night as you are needed everywhere at once, it is draining.

Whose performance were you most looking forward to for the event and out of who you caught. Who did you enjoy the most?

I was looking forward to see N-Joi and Rozalla and enjoyed both, bit definitely for me, the Queen of the Weekend was Rozalla.

One of the things that make your events stand out is the choice of the artists selected, the line ups are huge and full of the important artists behind this music and not
the boring stale repeated line ups that appear in London for example, long may this continue.

This is what sets these events apart and higher than what's happening elsewhere.
Seriously, where else are these line ups playing? Only in Lodz, hence the Rave Capital!

Amazing work! What do you have up your sleeve next?

Some artists belong to permanent Tornado team, however I'm trying not to repeat too often them. I have few ideas and pre-agreed bookings, however as I said above - everything depends on sponsors.

I have played at most venues in Lodz, big and small, and I love the Bedroom venue, it is the perfect setup,
Do you have any favourites, past or present?

Bedroom is really a good venue as it is ex-theatre, so it has large front stage, good infractructure. In the past a good venue was the Cube.
This is problem in Lodz- lack of good venues with all infrastructure also managers if they don't like specific kind of music they will not hire venue.
Conditions offered by venue managers are unacceptable for most event organisers.



Ok, what are your 3 favourite Old Skool tunes, and your 3 favourite Hardcore Breaks tunes?

haha, I love them all!, but...

01. The Prodigy - G-Force part.1
02. The House Crew - We Are Hardcore
03. Acen - Windows in the Sky part.3

HBC:
01. The Flashback Project - Another Dimension
02. Damage Inc - I Found You
03. The Flashback Project - Hands In The Air

Something different now...

3 places visitors to Lodz should check out when in town?

01. Restaurant Izba Chlopska - excellent polish food
02. Manufaktura - Shopping Centre
03. Piotrkowska street - walk thru and see this famous Lodz's high street

Regarding Hardcore Breaks, what would you like to see happen next for it?

Promoting them in popular radio stations!



What do you think of an Hardcore Breaks event or event with a 2nd Hardcore Breaks room?

I was already thinking about it during OSF2016, but due to lack of rooms decided to leave main arena only.
OSF edition 3 will not happen at Bedroom, but I already have plans, as there will be place for 3 stages.


Any messages for the readers out there?

Money are not everything! Make Love not hate. Family and friends first!

This is very true, in a World obsessed with bling, money is not everything, time is the most valuable so let's make sure that time is great!
OK, thank you Tornado, we shall leave you to it!
