They have been playing in the current line up since 2004, when they also reached the semi-final of the Coca Cola Pop Star music competition. Hi-fi basically focus on electronic dance music and jazz, but their songs include many genres such as hip-hop, reggae, techno and drum&#180;n&#180;bass. Original lyrics in Czech and English often include wordplay, rap and beatbox. Apart from live instruments the band often uses electronics and drum-machines. Most of the repertoire are original songs, but jazz standards in dance and other arrangements can be included &#8211; depending on the venue.</description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jun 2008 06:50:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>GiOdeLuigi</title><link>http://www.giodeluigi.com/</link> <description>Romagnolo thoroughbreds, discovered in the very first years of life a passion for singing.

The curiosity of listening to all kinds of music, from Rock to Jazz, from the Funky Soul and led him to discover or to reassess, artists and large items of every age like Al Green, Glenn Hughes, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Kenny Loggins , Marvin Gaye, from which assimilates a timbre typical &quot;black&quot; until real experimenters of the instrument-item as Demetrio Stratos and Bobby McFerrin.

While his Monolake recordings alone have exerted a huge impact upon experimental electronic music's evolution over the past decade, the impact of Ableton Live, the music production software created by Henke and one-time Monolake member (and now Ableton CEO) Gerhard Behles, has been profound; not only has it become the software of choice for digital music-makers everywhere, it's also, by Henke's own reckoning, the most successful commercial music software today.
Even so, any appreciation of Henke's contributions, whether it focuses on the body of work issued under his real name or Monolake, must contend with the encompassing scope of his output. Perhaps the best way to grapple with the largesse is to address separately Henke's still-growing discography and his multiple non-recording projects. The risk in doing so is that it misleadingly suggests that the two can be bifurcated when, in fact, the two strands continuously intertwine and, even more importantly, nourish each other: Henke's programming innovations and interactive installations naturally help catalyze the ever-evolving Monolake sound, while the group experiences bolster Henke's engagement with his non-recording endeavours (or, to use Henke's own words, Technology fuels inspiration. Art inspires technological development). Without question, Henke's involvement in the creation and design of Ableton Live has influenced dramatically Monolake's development. (It bears mentioning too that, while Henke is Monolake's guiding force, the group initially included Behles, and T++ [real name Torsten Proefrock] contributed to both Cinemascope and Polygon Cities).</description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:58:20 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The silk demise</title><link>http://www.thesilkdemise.com</link> <description>Hailing from Toronto, The Silk Demise offer up sensual, stripped-down trip-hop on their self-titled debut. Combining the talents of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Bill Litshauer and lyricist/vocalist Olivia Zielinski, the band's sound falls somewhere between&#8230;say&#8230;Massive Attack and the moody trip-hop found on Akira Yamaoka's soundtracks to the later Silent Hill games.
Blending sultry female vocals, occasional half-whispered male vocals a la Tricky, and music that emphasizes atmospheric sound with sometimes sparser melodic work, the album is an extremely competent and immaculately produced blend of dark, electronic-yet-organic trip-hop with a slightly experimental slant ...</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:18:51 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
