心很開呀!


Underworld的到來,讓我周遭許多對於音樂活動已漸漸冷卻的朋友動了起來,他們終於肯挪動一下老屁股、離開電腦和沙發,走入人群。

0926,期待已久的這個夜晚終於降臨!今晚不想再為找車位和酒駕的問題去煩惱,決定搭乘最近頗富盛名的台北市詐胡線捷運直達車到現場,可能是算準了表演時間到兩點(確實有點尷尬...),下捷運後至少遇到了兩組人馬發送After Party Flyer。

第一次進入南港展覽館,哇~空間感真是開闊啊!音響、燈光也都相當優質!再回頭,只見小賓早已就定位開始狂舞了,呵呵~不愧是連呼吸都會嗨的咖。在這裡我必需替當晚暖場的DJ們說些話,你們真的放得很棒!(大拇指),在Underworld上台之前,氣氛早已熱絡,大概九點左右我已經聽到有人在廁所抓兔子了,還有一個深植人心的畫面也出現了,一位平躺於往來人群中的老兄,一整個是放鬆的狀態,真是太享受啦!

Born Slippy, Rez, Cowgirl...一首首經典好歌由Underworld親手放出來,夢幻的感覺有那麼一點不真實,以往只能由網路上看到的畫面一幕幕的出現在眼前,放眼望去,不分老的、少的、搖滾客、嘻哈掛、電音咖...盡是滿足的微笑,笑不出來的都在音靈合一狂舞中,我記得是Encore了兩次之後,這場狂喜出神的派對才慢慢散去,不過,這樣子有如電影散場的方式真是詭異,還是習慣有DJ接續著慢慢Chillout,整個儀式才會完整啊!










※感謝這些即時將影片貼出來分享的朋友,讓我們得以保存更多的美好回憶。

Basement Jaxx - Scars




















瘋狂的節拍旋律,推倒五顏六色的染缸,大方地翻攪所有類型定義。來自英國倫敦的Basement Jaxx,對於電音迷而言,不啻是可供膜拜的Filter- House先鋒,更是永不退流行的派對巫師!Felix Buxton與Simon Ratcliffe自1999年的首張專輯《Remedy》開始,浩室舞曲除了性感與能量外,從此多了頑皮與野性。繼而在《Rooty》、《Kish Kash》、《Crazy Itch Radio》等專輯中,一步步地踩碎四四拍的浩室疆界,採集了許多原自非洲與東歐的民族音樂元素,再揉合靈魂與嘻哈/碎拍等流行曲風,並且愈來愈具故事性的歌曲鋪陳,讓專輯像是本探險小說或廣播節目般引人入勝,成為Basement Jaxx的獨門電音美學。

2009年Basement Jaxx終於推出這張睽違三年的全新力作《Scars》,再度強化了他們對於非洲打擊樂與黑人/放客音樂交互混血的迷戀。繽紛的節奏串聯此起彼落的逗趣音色,有點邪惡卻又充滿了趣味!首波主打〈Raindrops〉,團員Felix親自上陣演唱,在浩室節拍中融入歡愉如節慶般的旋律,相信馬上就要攻占全球各大舞池!〈Day of the Sunflowers (We March On)〉在約翰藍儂遺孀Yoko Ono巫婆般的唸唱下,魔幻且寓意深遠。此外,專輯更邀得Kelis、Santigold、Sam Sparro等意想不到的藝人,以及發跡於美國,在歐洲異軍突起的女性饒舌團體Yo Majesty! 跨刀助陣,如萬花筒的跳舞節拍,要你縱使有了傷疤,也要忘情繼續快樂迪斯可!(文章轉自映象唱片)

帶著微笑出遊去


既然CD還沒翻出來,又迫切地需要它,乾脆把它貼出來吧!以方便上班時隨時可以來個好心情!
Original Love - Sunshine Romance,雖然一個字我都聽不懂,但每次前奏響起的同時,映入眼簾的畫面也會開始變得繽紛燦爛起來,內容不外乎是:夕陽、椰林、濱海公路...最好還有輛敞篷車可以吹吹風,這首歌絕對是一個簡單有效的開心妙藥!大概就像吳孟達抓著白紗在海灘上奔跑那般開心!
