1000NAMES Lowriders Mixtape 002
Nr. 002 is here! This one is done by two artists we’ve invited to one of our events last year. We’ve been fans of 1000names since their releases on Eklektik Records. The irregular spacy beats and usage of outerworldly and vintage samples proves that these two have a firm grasp on future sensibility. They’ve always kind of flown under the radar but that’s all going to change soon. With a mix done for Mary Anne Hobbs recently and also an LP forthcoming on Black Acre, the prospective of the new decade is looking good for the two Bulgarians. Tracklist and the interview can be found after the jump.

Interview
Hi, could you please introduce yourselves?
We are 1000names, producers and dj’s from Sofia, Bulgaria.
How did you two meet?
In the biology class we disected some tapes haha that was about 17 years ago since then we’ve been sharing the same music love.
17 Years later, how would you now disect your music as?
Irregular beats, scape atmos, old fashion signals
What are your musical influences and how long have you been producing?
Anything from ~scape to wu-tang to 70’s 80’s experimental electronic music to Myspace beat generation. we’ve tried stuff since 2000 but more seriously 4-5 years from now
What’s your production setup like?
We use different sequencers like mpc and are now more into computers. we used to love not to see the sounds but now we are control freakz and do it all on the computerz.
There’s still room for random surprises.
A record forthcoming on Black Acre, How do you feel about that?
Very excited!@!!!## to be in that family with such artists like Blue Daisy, Akira Kiteshi, Loops Haunt..
How is the scene in Bulgaria?
There are many people thirsty for fresh sounds and we’ve done couple of parties on our own and with guests, but its very hard to work with the local clubs, Mr Gready surrounds everything.
Some important people have said the future of electronic music lays in Eastern Europe, 2010 will be an important year. What do you think of that statement?
Well hope so, its true that east Europe is waking up. There’s a good community in Moscow and good label born fresh in Serbia called “Svetlana Industries”, we have plans with them also with our other project “Nuclear Nomads”. there are very exciting albums coming up, and the new decade is just starting.
On the mix there is only one track from yourselves. There are however quite a few artists on it of which I’ve never heard before. Was this a deliberate choice?
Noo not deliberated. Actually we are connected on Myspace with a lot of up and coming producers who do dope music so we just play everything that we like and we leave the others to play our music think that’s fair haha
That’s very noble. When I listened to the mix I sometimes got an old tv series intro vibe. Is that something you draw inspiration from?
Very good friend of ours is mad about cinema, he also directs some stuff and we are inspired by old visions, unfocused video projections from our childhood, we like that as form and culture not particular series, just images.
Which artists should we definitely put on our radar?
Lapti // Moscow
Chits // USA
Josip Klobucar // Zagreb
As Valet, La Note and Gus La Tempete // Paris
Very curious to see what will happen with the skwee scene
Anything set for the future?
There’s an EP coming on Eklektik Records, 10″ and LP on Black Acre, 12″ on Svetlana Industries, B-ju rmx on Error Broadcast, AK Kids rmx, Coco Bryce collabo, and loads of beats and pieces with our french solar space bross As Valet, La Note and Gus La Tempete
And one final question. If I ever were to visit Bulgaria, what dish would you recommend for dinner?
Yeah we are obssesed with cheese, but its a white one, not like in west Europe. we put it on everything. so try “Giuvedje”
