DJ's Apostoli & Jacedonia (Gimme The Dance)
On Saturday the 24th of March, Modern Funkatron by Gimme The Dance brings Beat-Maker-Beat LIVE from St. Petersburg to truly kick off modern funk at mbar.
With the help of music related social media, modern funk has rapidly become a global movement. While the scene is still taking its baby steps, producers capable of causing major head-nodding pop up from all corners of the world. From the heritage of hiphop, this new breed of producers mold together pieces of 80's boogie, electrofunk and P-funk with electronic hiphop aesthetics, occasionally even crossing the borderlines of dubstep and house. With modern funk's 'post-Dilla'-era producers, the spotlight on the scene is, now more than ever, on the musicians - the Beat-Makers.
LIVE: BEAT-MAKER-BEAT aka WAYNE TWEED (RU)
Beat-Maker-Beat aka WayneTweed alias Space Kid - the man has many disguises, each with different vibe but all sharing one thing in common - they mean beats with fresh analog sounds and cosmic otherworldly quality. One of the key figures of the modern funk sound, the young producer BMB beats his Akai MPC in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he’s no newcomer to the local hiphop scene. Living the true hiphop lifestyle, he started breaking at the early age of 10 and soon after, regardless of his young age, was already spinning records at local clubs and gained awards both in MC and DJ battles in Russia. Nowadays, however, he is world known for his superior beat-making skills and has been heard on the track of numerous russian, european and african artists as well as legendary US MCs such as Planet Asia and Rasco. Moreover, he has created several instrumental albums that truly stand on their own, thus following Dam Funk's ideology - "I don't just do beats... I make music". At mbar, you'll witness the funkiness of BMB's modern funk at its best - performed LIVE!
