Iako nema posebno potrebe Mucha Lucha tim je odlučio malo približiti našoj publici rad Nenada Kovačevića aka Audio InFunktion kroz par pitanja.
Eventhough there is no need, the Mucha Lucha team has decided to get up, close and personal with Nenad Kovacevic aka Audio InFunktion with a few questions.
1. Omiljena boja:
1. Favourite color:
Uhhh, nemam neku omiljenu. Možda zato što sam daltonista :)
Uhhh, I dont have one. Maybe because I am colorblind :)
2. Najdraže mjesto izlaska u našem gradu ?
2. Favourite place to go out in our city?
Bilo koje kad neko od naše šire ekipe pravi dernek. Jedino tad i izlazim.
Any place when someone from our crew is organizing some party. Thats actually the only time I decide to go out.
3. Da li ste ikada nastupali kao mi na svadbenim veseljima? :)
3. Did you ever perform like we did on some wedding parties? :)
Naravno, više puta. Neka su čak bila genijalna sa dernekom epskih razmjera.
Ofcourse, lots of times. Some were so great you can say that they were of epic proportion.
4. Za početak odakle ljubav prema dj-ingu?
4. For a starter tell us from where you gained love for dj-ing?
S obzirom da sam dugo muzičar, i da sam svirao u gomili band-ova, to je nekako bio logičan slijed, da poslije grupnih pređem na individualni performans. Pa se tako nametnuo dj-ing kao još jedan od vidova muzičkog izražaja. Danas je moj nastup polu live – polu dj-ing, sa krajnjim ciljem da na kraju bude full live.
Having in mind that I have been a musician for a longer period, and that I played in tons of bands, it was a logical next step to transfer from a collective to individual performance. Thats how I stumbled upon dj-ing as a choice to express my musical art form. At present you can notice that my shows are half live - half dj-ing, with the final goal to be able to make the performance completely live.
5. Dosta ljudi zna i poznaje vaš muzički pravac a za one koji su ostali uskraćeni, možete li ukratko opisati mada je to teško s obzirom da u vašem repertoaru se može zaista dosta toga čuti.
5. Many people are familiar with your selection of music but for the ones who arent what would be the best way to describe the music you play when at a show? eventhough its hard to fit you into one certain category.
Freestyle do kosti. Ne bih sebe mogao zamisliti da puštam, niti slušam, samo jednu vrstu muzike. Od početka sam tako krenuo, pa ljudi danas tačno znaju da mogu očekivati bukvalno sve. Jednostavno – svi su pravci u igri.
Freestyle to the fullest. I wouldnt imagine myself to neither play nor listen to just one genre of music. Thats how its been from day one, so people now know exactly that they can expect literally almost anything during my set.
6. Učestvovali ste na mnogim festivalima, urednik ste Itison fm radio emisije koja se emituje svakog ponedjeljka i učesnik ste Red Bull Muzičke Akademije održane tada u Melburnu, možete li ukratko približiti publici kako je došlo do tih uspijeha.
6. You participated on many festivals, you run the Itison FM radio show thats on air every monday night and you also took part in the Red Bull music academy that then was held in Melbourne...can you briefly explain to the audience how did you accomplish all these achievements.
Učesnik sam i Berlinale Talent Campusa, projekat koji je dio Berlin Film Festivala. Veoma sličan koncept Red Bull-ovoj akademiji samo sa fokusom na filmsku kompoziciju, sound design, itd. Pošto se duži niz godina bavim istim, imao sam sreću da u Berlinu radim jedan kratki film sa internacionalnom ekipom i sa top mentorima iz filmske industrije, fantastično iskustvo.
I was a paricipant at the Berlinale Talent Campus - a project thats part of the Berlin Film Festival. It is a similar concept to the one of the Red Bull academy only with the main focus on the film composition, sound design...etc. This is something that I have been doing ever since so it was an honor for me to take part in the making of one short film in Berlin with an international crew and with some of the best mentors in the film industry - great experience.
A kako je došlo do svih tih uspjeha, vrlo jednostavno – hard hard work !
And finally to answer you question how i accomplished all these achievements is very simple - hard hard work !
7. Bavite se i produkcijom ?
7. Are you also into production?
Da, i to na više nivoa – od produciranja bandova, solo izvođača do filmske kompozicije, sound design, foley-a, itd.
Yes I am and on various levels - from production for bands and solo artists to film composition, sound design, foley... etc.
8. Možete li izdvojiti neke veće saradnje u produckijskom svijetu kao i neke od najdražih svirki ?
8. Can you mention some of the greater collaboration in the world of production and also some of your favourite gigs ?
U narednih par mjeseci mi izlazi par ploča. Prije svega remix za Danny Massure-a, za label iz Seattle-a koji se zove Spring Strut, uz remixe Dirty Dubstersa i Dj Hype-a. Zatim remix za legendarni post punk Gang of Four, čiji je prvi album magazin Rolling Stone uvrstio među 500 najboljih albuma svih vremena, a recimo gitarista ovog benda je producirao prvi album Peppers-a. Remix koji sam radio za njih također izlazi u narednih par mjeseci, plus uvrstili su ga u promo materijal za svjetsku turneju. Pored toga trenutno radim par remixa za zvučna imena sa worldwide scene, ne bih smio jos otkrivati imena, čut će se. Također trenutno radim remixe za artiste sa domaće scene kao što su – Hain Teny, Dubioza Kolektiv, plus par domaćih kolaboracija i naravno svoj EP i album prvijenac :)
I možda kao šlag na tortu da spomenem heavy funk projekat koji sam pokrenuo sa Dj Umbom, vrlo brzo ćete čuti plodove te kolaboracije.
In the next few months I have a few vinyls coming out. A remix for a track for Danny Massure for a label from Seattle thats called Spring Strut alongside also remixes by Dirty Dubsters and Dj Hype. Next up is a remix for the legendary post-punk band Gang of Four whos album was chosen to be in the top 500 albums of all time by the Rolling Stone magazine. I have to mention that the guitarist from this band produced the first album of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The remix I did for them will be also out in the next few months and its my honor to say that it has also been selected for their promo material for their worldwide tour. Apart from that I am currently remixing some songs for some worldwide famous artists that I cant mention yet and for some local artists from the region - Hain Teny, Dubioza Kolektiv and Im also into some local colaborations and ofcourse giving some final touches to my EP and to my first ablum :)
And maybe like the icing on the cake I would mention a heavy funk project I initiated with Dj Umbo, hopefully soon you will get to hear the results of this collaboration.
Što se tiče svirki, svaka je draga definitivno.
When it comes to gigs I would have to say that every gig I do is equally favourite.
9. Da li vam se dopada naziv klupske večeri Mucha Lucha ?
9. Do you like the name of the club night - Mucha Lucha ?
Apsolutno !
Absolutely !
10. Kako je biti zvijezda u našem gradu ? :)
10. How is it to be a star in our city ? :)
Hahahaha, ma kakva zvijezda. Da sam zvijezda ne bih svaki dan išao na posao od 09 do 17h !
Hahahaha, Im no star. If I was a star I wouldnt have to go to work every day from 09 to 17h !
11. Kafa ili pivo?
11. Coffee or beer?
Oboje.
Both.
12. Omiljeni izvođač / uzor ?
12. Favourite artist / role model ?
Takav ne postoji.
There is no such.
13. I za kraj koliko ploča imate u svojoj kolekciji ?
13. And finally can you tell us how many vinyls do you have in your collection ?
Uhhh, teško je reći, nisam nikada brojao. U svakom slučaju četverocifreni je broj u pitanju.
Uhhh, hard to tell, I never counted. In any case its a four digit number.
Mucha Lucha team se zahvaljuje na vašem vremenu.
The Mucha Lucha team is thankful for you time.
