Weekly Reviews: Week of 04/01/09

In this week's report I'll talk about some new stuff in and out world. Talking about what is going on out world I am proud to introduce London Elektricity. In world I talk about new sensation DJ Ephram Magic and also about ToonTopia, one of the more eclectic clubs in Second Life. Just stay tuned...


London Elektricity is a Dn'B producer and the name chosen by Tony Colman. London Elektricity has been releasing tunes for 12 years, his new album, 'syncopated city' is out now under independent own Tony's label, Hospital Records. His influences are Kraftwerk, Steroelab, Supergrass, Talking Heads, Ennio Morricone, Prince, Todd Rundgren, amongst many others. I would like to empathise the track "southeastern dream" that can be found at his MySpace profile. If you are bold, convincing and brave enough to try and bring him for a gig at Second Life here is his contact for bookings: tom@codaagency.com.


DJ Ephram Magic has been playing in many RL clubs around Lisbon northern area. And are in the area former industrial estates (most of them underground clubs now) that he finds the right inspiration for his trance work as a DJ and producer. I had the opportunity to welcome him to Second Life and also work with him here. Even though I count him among my friends, we have rather different styles, I find his spinning rather versatile and explosively mingled with Trance, Electro and some Dub Step, with some incursions through Minimal. Watch him at ToonTopia, Vasco da Gama and some other freelancer spots.



Talking about clubs in world, this week I would like to refer to one of the most eclectic clubs in Second Life. In an attempt to cover the most different styles and time zones, Toontopia Dance Club is making impact with DJ gigs nearly all day long. With this 24/7 attitude Toon Telling and his crew are attracting different sorts of dance music tribes. It is good to see some well committed people taking in hands such a huge task instead of adopting a more comfortable approach to well proven styles. That is why I rate ToonTopia the most eclectic dance club in Second Life, more information available on their blog.

Next week we will talk about the always eternal House Music, a well known Techno/Old Skool DJ and RL producer that has been in Second Life. And also the new club that has been the sensation in the grid.

See you next week and remember, Size Matters!
