Visao Media: An Electronic Music and Design Resource Center

Greta have been reading Bios.
“I have discovered the worst phrase in Electronic Music.

‘Played Alongside’

I mean, what are you saying? That you once met DJ Famousbastard? who cares? Really? Its what you know, not who you know.”

This 2-hour mix comes from Greta Cottage Workshop (mr “ONLY” matt densham & jamie ‘winkle’ slater ), recorded live during their radio spot on MyHouse-YourHouse. This mix makes me feel like I’m riding in the back of a smoky filled Cadillac, not a care in the world, just enjoying the moment if it’s with you or by myself. Detach, allow yourself to be in harmony, let the inner glow come back. It’s always there, it never left.

[ K O N T R O L ]
minimal techno + avant house, every 1st Saturday at The Endup

featuring from Berlin:

::: DIXON :::
(Innervisions, Sonar Kollektiv, Get Physical, BBE)

“We first encountered Innervisions label boss Dixon at an after party for 2008’s Decibel Festival, where his highly stylized take on deep house music, coupled with superior mixing skills and masterful programming, turned us all into believers. Taking the history of dance music and being able to turn it into something uniquely his own is a rare trait indeed, and perhaps one of the many reasons this dancefloor maestro was voted Resident Advisor’s #6 DJ in the world for 2009.”

and from Detroit via Berlin:

::: SETH TROXLER :::
(Visionquest, Spectral, Circus Co. Wagon Repair, Wolf + Lamb)

“Seth Troxler to play for us back in 2008, he was a recent transplant to Berlin from Detroit, and a spirited young DJ very much on the rise. In the year and a half since, Seth’s reputation for rocking parties has absolutely blown up worldwide, with him too securing a spot in RA’s top DJs of 2009 at #8. Drawing equally from Detroit’s rich history and Berlin’s hedonistic party culture, Troxler’s oft discussed sets are enthusiastic, sexy, and most of all, serious fun.” Troxler’s notable tracks at the moment, ‘Hurt’, ‘Party Guilt’ and ‘Trust’.

Look out for Seth’s Boogybytes Vol. 5(Bpitch) CD out Feb.22.2010

This last year we weren’t too impressed with men’s shirt selections found in most retail stores and boutiques. We did find these two men’s v-neck shirts worth mentioning from Heritage 1981. Black and white, simple and enough to grab your attention visually. I’ll spare you our thoughts on stores, designs and all the hype with costs and trends. We’ll be focusing our attention to private designers this year.
