mugwump Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 In case none of you knowwho this is here's a BIO*************************Elite Force's recorded output actually dates back to the heady days of 1996......sHack had just formed the seminal fused & bruised label & begun releasing proto-breakz tracks from the likes of pHrack R & futurecore, & decided he needed an alias that focused on nothing other than raw, unabridged, dancefloor damage. As one half of lunatic calm ["my day job at the time"] he would often find himself working overtime in the module with sonic offcuts and out-takes close at hand.....and when the time was right, he dropped the mighty mainframe wrekka EP [FABR004T] on an unsuspecting world.It's full frontal approach found favour across the globe & the EP remains to this day one of f&b's biggest sellers, prompting plaudits from the likes of jockeyslut, who declared that "club mayhem is rarely more mind-puttying than this". Hot on the heels of the wrekka ep was the hugely successful this is latinamyl project, which was an ideal vehicle for the collective spirit so endemic in elite force. A fledgling DJ by the name of adam freeland wrote (in Muzik) "Elite Force produce a carnival-meets-digital-wall-of-sound" and the beatmaster general himself, norman cook was proved right when he said "Jon Carter & I predict it'll be the sound of the summer - turns any club into a carnival". A further 12" promo then hit the streets, again spear-headed by another offering from elite force, the hugely successful 'spirito' ["....hit(s) the beats button with the force of a locomotive piling on the percussion" (Richard Hector Jones in Jockey Slut)].Things were put on hold for a while as sHack journied arond the globe with lunatic calm, both DJaying & playing live & it wasn't really until 1999 that he began to refocus his attentions on both fused & bruised & elite force. Armed with a lifetime of x-periences & with a slew of highly successful solo remixes under his belt for the likes of surreal madrid (four of them), the mild-mannered janitors - and also for labels such as grand royal (buffalo daughter) and nation (recycler), there followed a massive upsurge in DJaying & sHack decided to take up the mantle of elite force as a full time solo concern. Towards the middle of 1999, having completed a huge and brutal heads-down lunatic calm studio session for all of 15 months, sHack switched his focus to developing an elite force album.A few months later, elite force resurfaced in the summer of y2k with a new single, bombin' the subway [FABR027T], featuring a 12" extended mix of the title track, an epic 11-minute remix that pushed the envelope of breakbeat that bit harder, along with an exclusive EP track, the punishing electro-funk of godfather (with a groove). Released in the UK on fused & bruised on the 12th June, the EP was hugely successful, enjoying two represses and an unbroken 8-week stint in DJ magazine's Breaks chart Top 10, garnering a host of rave reviews along the way.A second single in the fall of 2000 heralded another hugely impressive leap forward for elite force's world of the booming beat. The here come the flow EP [FABR029T] was a 2-tracker that defied pigeonholing, ranging from the sparkling, electro-jackin', sun-kissed, latin-touched title track, whilst opting for a crunching, compulsive tech-house journey on the flip, Krushyn : four, that steps on the gas & drives relentlessly onwards on a bed of booty bass & shimmering strings. It was this track in particular that introduced elite force to a whole new audience, and has paved the way for more wildstyle teck-bizniz in recent times.For the first EP-proper of 2k1 (following on from a much-vaunted EF remix of the Quinn 'Kerbcrawler' Whalley track 'Hold Tight' on Whole 9 Yards), sHack teamed up with Whole 9 Yards for the release of the gasoline alley EP [W9Y018]. A huge hit within the DJ community, the EP crossed over onto the broadest range of floors yet, with supporters ranging from Laurent Garnier to Anthony Pappa, & from Orbital to Boy George. With a superb remix from Dylan Rhymes on the flip, the EP flew into the national breakbeat chart in DJ Mag @ number one consolidating elite force's reputation as a key playa in the world of breakz & beatz & an emerging force to be reckoned with in the tech-house fraternity. Once again upping the ante came the 2nd whole9 yards EP, featuring the hi-tek breaks flava of curveball [W9Y020], backed by the driving punk-house fury of haiku, once again finding favour across a broad selection of dancefloors & crashing into the breaks top 3, along with a host of single of the week/month recommendations. With an album in the pipeline for whole9yards towards the end of the summer 2k2, a third 12" is already in production. Vapour trail / give it to the people [W9Y024] is expected to hit the streets at the beginning of May. Meanwhile, with sHack's output from the luna module coming thick & fast, it was always only a matter of time before other outlets were required for the weight of output. Enter moonshine in the US, who are releasing the first of several one-off 12"s, crew one, in march 2002.....a slight departure from the metallic tech-breaks, the ep has already received rave reviews in the likes of bpm, urb & mixer magazines as well as being included on Simply Jeff's new mix CD for moonshine. This affiliation came about after sHack delivered the remix of keoki's jealousy for the label, one of several recent remixes that include meat katie's next life on kingsize, lunatic calm's album track neverstop, & dylan rhymes' on the dancefloor. On the DJ trail, sHack held residencies for several years from '98 through to '01 at venues as diverse as the Dogstar, The End, Cross Bar, the Gate, the Redstar, Home, the Clinic and & a host of guest slots around Europe & the States followed as well as mixsets for the likes of breaksworld.com & Annie Nightingale on Radio One. As elite force's profile has built, so has sHack's focus on DJaying & it's with that in mind that he recently began a 2-hour live webcast 'STRONGARM' streamed into computer networks round the globe through nubreaks.com. [To listen to the innaugural broadcast click here.]. He is about to embark on a US Tour, followed by a number of domestic UK dates as well as overseas trips in the near future to Athens, Spain, Berlin, Hong Kong, Australia, Budapest & Belgium.

mugwump Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 THIS JUST IN!!SLATER WILL BE ON @ 11:00..It's FREE!But will be RSVP before thenfor a private record release partybefore that..._______________________________________(This was just posted by Viktor of Tronic Treatment onNaughty Booth:)Nova Mute is organizing an album listening party for Slater @ Open air. It is invite only before 11 pm. Afterwards, Luke will be doing a decks and final scratch set. He is only in NYC for one night (wed), and Open air was the venue that had a scheduled night with similar type or music (electro and dubby techno). Therefore, he is playing there. Monday was not an option, cause he was doing promo for the album across the pond on that night. Luke will be coming to tour N. America later this spring, at whick time we're working on having his do a proper LIVE set (Mondays, or something more elaborate).__________________Ciao, Viktor Tronic Treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
