Last Night I was with DJ Skurge

  • -English: Electronic music and video technology cemented the basis of 2014 Sound Department winter format. We want to listen to artists in their being eclectic, setting them free from the rules of the thousand people-dancefloor, to let them feel free to express their art at best at these latitudes. We just wanna tell you a story mingled in the night of a club in which there is just one storyteller : the artist. We’re not inviting you to a club or to a night in a discotheque, but we’re inviting you to be a part of our tale, to write it with us. The moral of this tale will not only be impressed in our minds, but all the feelings of the 200 lucky audience will be relived in high definition on our own hard drives. DJ SKURGE bio: Milton Baldwin aka DJ Skurge is one of Underground Resistance's most trusted and proficient producer/DJ sound snipers in the current UR camp. A soldier who earned his stripes DJ’ing for the tough East side Detroit "Cabaret" crowd, he also gained the respect of UR's Mad Mike due to his deep knowledge of music history as it relates to the dance floor. Chosen for UR's most high-pressure gigs, DJ Skurge has traveled the globe as the DJ/keyboardist for some of the most legendary techno bands in the world: UR's Galaxy to Galaxy, Interstellar Fugitives, The Aquanauts, Jeff Mills’ "Something in the Sky" project and Juan Atkins’ pioneering Model 500 band. Not to mention, DJ Skurge has performed scores of DJ sets along the way including an appearance at the Montreaux Jazz Festival 2007. DJ Skurge, when not touring, has somehow found the time to release some genre-altering Ep's, as well as multiple appearances on UR's ongoing Interstellar Fugitive CD series. DJ Skurge is one of the founding members of UR's The Aquanauts, a group featuring Tyree Stinson, the younger brother of Drexciya's James Stinson. DJ Skurge has contributed to the current Model 500 releases now appearing on R&S Records (Belgium). He also has released two exclusive mix cd's for the Japanese label Underground Gallery Productions. Outside of music DJ Skurge has traveled to New Zealand on behalf of UR to help counsel gang members and help advise New Zealand’s government on counter drug use strategies. SIMONE GATTO bio: The peaceful sound of the morning breeze and the powerful noise of the sea waves shattering on the rocks in the darkness are sounds that Simone has assimilated from his motherland. This scenario is well mixed in his musical productions, combining it in a delicate balance within his deep and dub house tracks. Thanks to his philosophical and sociological studies, he enforced his underground beliefs such as tangible expression of the energies that are related to people’s deepest emotions. All these shapes take place in Simone’s tracks, productions that are the result of contaminations between all the “young” producer’s musical backgrounds. His strongest influences are without any doubt techno and house music, merged with his funky roots. As a result of this very well mixed knowledge Simone’s dj-sets reflect an infinite multiplicity of musical combinations. The final purpose of his acts is to transforms energies and sensations that the crowd expresses on the dancefloor, into a continuous vibe created mixing vinyls.
