Educational Listening


DJ Harvey
Low and behold our good friend DJ Harvey gets the call to share his experience and wisdom at the Red Bull Music Academy. We couldn't be happier. View the lecture, and tell him what you think the next time he's at Candelas. The video is in two parts.

Daniele Baldelli
The force behind Baia degli Angeli and Cosmic, located on the Adriatic coast in Italy, he created his own sound through live remixing and editing, and by curiously playing records at the wrong RPM. We say genius. This is only part of his story. Listen to a recent mix of his here, but do yourself the favor of viewing the lectures given in two parts at the
Red Bull Music Academy.

The Saint
Jim Burgess was DJ at a club called 12 West in NYC up to 1981. After his theatrical final performance as the club's resident, he'd find himself at one time events from time to time. One of those times was at The Saint in 1985. To hear what a serious disco DJ sounded like, have a listen to this.

Electro
The Electro movement was a brief but pivotal one. At a time when electronic music was yet to be widely accepted as a true music production technique, Electro blasted creativity into the minds of everyone, even if they weren't aware of it. This is a quick hitting dual interview with Greg Wilson on London's Kiss 100 and Radio 1 from 1994. It sums it all up pretty well.

Barefoot in the Head
The term "Balearic" when applied to music creates an elusive description which is eloquently cleared up in this two part series. Listen closely because we receive much of our inspiration from the very spirit forged by the one and only Alfredo. If you're familiar with Ibiza clubland, you'll be surprised about the organic musical history of this magical Mediterranean island.
