Guest biznation00 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 If you get a chance.. it's a must that you go pick up an issue of this month's Loft Magazine at a local newstand anywhere in Sobe or across Miami. This issue might as well be titled the dj issue, being that it incorporates soo much of the dance industry's biggest talents, upcoming & breakthru djs. Two of the industry's best (Murk) represent our Mia. in damn good dance fashion! I had to type this article myself off the mag onto this post cuz I couldn't find it anywhere on the net. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Oh & BIGGEST PROPS TO Oscar & Ralph! See article b-low:Murk is made up of Miami Djs Oscar G (for Gaetan) & Ralph Falcon. It’s been over a decade since this pair of Cuban American 30-somethings first holed up in a Hialeah studio to record house music with a trunk-load of cumbersome analog equipment. Since then, they’ve logged a score of hit tribal dance tracks – including the anthem “Dark Beat†– under a variety of quasi-cosmic monikers. Name-calling: At times they’re the Funky Green Dogs, on other recordings they stamp themselves the Coral Way Chiefs, after a local school mascot. “At first the names were a way of trying to fool people into thinking there were a lot of artists coming out of our home studio,†admits Oscar. Falcon nods in agreement, a lazy smile spreading on his face. Other times the name-play poked fun at the absurdly lofty titles some obviously amateur Djs use. The array of recording titles, including Dynamo Electrix, El Guajiro, Interceptor and Intruder, reveals the humor that has cemented the pair’s nearly life-long professional relationship. Headphones: Perhaps no other internationally recognized DJ/producers will be as likely to count Cuban folklorist musicians Los Muñequitos de Matanzas among their top sources of inspiration. It’s the first group Oscar mentions when asked what he’s been listening to. Props: Last month Murk stunned themselves and their fans by taking home the prize for Best Producer at the DanceStar USA music awards show at Bayfront Park. The pair subsequently took over the turntables at Mynt for an afterparty with no apparent end in sight, until police politely reminded revelers that it was time to go home.Credits: Article written by Victor Cruz & Celeste DelgadoMusic Consultants: Ben Turner & Diego Martinelli from Graphite MediaOther articles featured in this issue include: Roger Sanchez, Sander K, Satoshi Tomiie, Danny Howells, Pete Tong, Hernan Cattaneo, Steve Lawler.Breakout Djs article mentions: K-Swing, Demi, Behrouz, Gabriel & DresdenLoft Magazine April 2004 issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klit Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Once again props to the murk guys. I'd like to see ralph playing more often though, he was awesome on thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeVeL Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Wow I never knew these boys were originally from Hialeah. Hell yeah good way to represent guys. But I do agree Ralph Falcon needs to come out of the shadow of Oscar G. Way more people come out to support Oscar then they do Ralph for example look at his Maze resident days. Good job in pointing this out Bizz. Keep them coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job in pointing this out Bizz. Keep them coming!couldn't agree more !!!, went to Maze for Ralph Falcon and I think it was me and 3 other people, it's what I've been saying all along, we need to support better. alot of people go for the venue not the music, few dj's have a real following here (except maybe Oscar G or Edgar V) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 that whole LOFT magazine coverage of djs was good....the pictorial and the blurbs were very nicely done... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 that wasn't an article, it was a fluff piece..give me 10 mins in a room with murk, and they'll beg to leave with my hard hitting questions i'd ask them. Too many mags do fluff pieces, and none do any real hard hitting articles..This article was Larry KingI'd be Mr Oreilly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest web_norah Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 for not being a MUSIC magazine, LOFT did a nice job.....Bill OReilly is boring - thats why he is on cable tv and not primetime.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 for not being a MUSIC magazine, LOFT did a nice job.....Bill OReilly is boring - thats why he is on cable tv and not primetime..........lol, he crushes every anchor in cable, and as for the networks, they are more dilluted everyday, and fox doesn't have a network news team, like the big 3... And he was on network tv, and left it to do news analysis, un like Copple who stayed on and got murdered.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Bill aint no punisher.......he is a Rush Limbaugh at best, and he better hope no dirt gets out on him (like poor Rush).and back to my point Fox wishes they had the status of ABC or NBC anchors.......

Guest JMT Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Bill aint no punisher.......he is a Rush Limbaugh at best, and he better hope no dirt gets out on him (like poor Rush).and back to my point Fox wishes they had the status of ABC or NBC anchors.......what??? all the network anchors do is recite what the producers tell them to say. its not journalism. as saleen said, Bill O reilly crushes the competition in ratings. FOX is number one in cable news. and compared to all shows on all of the 24 hour news networks he is highest. thats what counts. O reilly put FOX ahead of CNN and its been that way since.he is not anchor. there is a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest klit Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Biz thanks for the heads up on the magazine. Went to get a coke icee by mi casa a while ago and was goin to take a look at it at the store but saw it had a piece on Haiti so just bought it. Some good photgraphs from there, though article is a bit weak but like the guy said "anyone who is not haitian can never really completely understand the country" so guess he off the hook. He was 100% right about Aristide though. Again thanks for the info and was a good piece they had on the djs. Nice magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest web_norah Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 for a local print magazine, i thought they did a respectable job covering djs and more importantly local producers (though i wish they had also written about other locals such as Stryke, Austin Leeds, etc)....
