The Experience [9 June]
Artist Profile and Event of The Month
Artist
Born Luis
Fernando Vega to a Puerto Rican musician family, his father being a jazz
saxophonist and his uncle a singer, made the things easier for him to begin
spinning records at an early age of 13. This grew him to become a regular
spinner in his neighborhood of The Bronx, where he played at block parties and
nightclubs (his 1st residence at Devil’s nest). This spread
throughout the 80’s where he played in various clubs even outside The Bronx.
By the
1990’s, where he was already engineering and mixing sound, he co-founded one of
the greatest dance group to walk the face of the earth, Masters At Work with
fellow producer, composer and Dj Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez. The name which was
given to them by a friend Todd Terry who used the name in his productions in
the 80’s. The duo went on to produce and remix tracks for various artists both
inside and outside the world of dance music. This included artist like Madonna,
Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson to name a few.
They went on
using various names such as MAW, Nuyorican Soul, KenLou, Sole Fusion, Hardrive.
The duo went on to do their solo projects with Louie Vega going on to establish
his own record label Vega Records, realizing his Elements Of Life projects
which included his Dj/Producer/Singer wife Anané Vega singing the albums.
Events
Ricard
Robles, Enric Palau and Sergi Caballero, who are these fellaz you might be
wondering? Well this are the brains and founders behind the Barcelona based
Sonar Festival, a three-day electronic and advanced music festival which was
established back in June 1994.
Music
journalist Robles and musicians and visual artists Palau and Caballero founded
what was firstly known as the “Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art”
on the 2, 3 and 4 of June ’94 at the Centre de Cultura Contemporania de
Barcelona (Sonar by Day) and the Apolo club (Sonar by Night). This was attended
by nearly 6000 people and 40 members of the Spanish media. With performances
by Laurent Garnier, Sven Vath to name a few.
By 1996 the
number of accreditation holders was tripled to over 18000, which was a
significant sign of how hugely the festival was growing. And this continued throughout
to the new decade, with the inclusion of new age art effects and state of the
art sound equipment being unveiled the festival, making it the 1st
stop for major brands to unveil its products.
The festival
has projected itself as more than just a music festival by introducing sessions
where visitors were treated to technology and record fair, lectures, video art
projections, and later SonarCinema (which had screenings of short films,
documentaries). This saw need of taking the festival throughout the world where
it hosted at various cities around world such as Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Cape Town,
London (its 1st international foray).
As the
festival celebrates its 21st birthday in 2015, it has always stayed
relevant and upfront to its mandate and may it continue to grow and educate for
more than 21 years to come.
