.:BLK biography:.

The most important thing for BLK is to be eclectic in all cases! In the last 6 six years he takes a dislike to monotone never-ending “bum-bum” rhythms although sometimes he includes hard minimal and electro-techno tracks into his mixes…

Lives in Budapest where he was born in 1980. Producing music for his own entertainment since ’93, when he got his first pc and started with the super-fantastic scream-tracker and with a self made analog soundcard connected to the computers parallel port. He produced so many several tracks and remixes however he never ever gave out anything officially of his work, and never wanted to be signed by any label until today. In the late 90ies he organized special acid and techno parties at illegal unlisted locations for 3 years. These parties were the fascinations before a few wasted years. He worked for one of the biggest Hungarian festival organizer companies from 2002 where he met his new friend, Stress. They decided to work and try some new things together in Budapest’s nightlife. After they got some experience in organizing festivals, they made a huge party and lost all of their money, as everybody (usually). They didn’t leave off and continued the work on common ambitions and started on its way the website electroclash.hu (pufff.hu later) and to play electro-clash back2back in 2003. Everything is changing, their style changed as well and turned into electro-house-rock and currently BLK plays indietronic-house mixed with nice electro tunes. They worked on the Lollipop project together until 2006 summer when their very good co-operation becomes into a real clash. He didn’t want to waste time and started to work… :)

He played uncounted times all around Budapest, perhaps in all underground clubs. He played also in Transylvania, Austria, Slovakia and in Germany and worked and played as a support dj with international acts like Bunny Lake, Mihai Popoviciu, Dahlia, Napsugar, Bomb Boutique, Carlo Von Lynx, Mujik , Gowan, Monosurround, New Wave Hookers, Christian Camille, Tetsuo, Fraulein G, Clara Moto, Illinoise, Zarkoff, Monoblock-b, Dj Gabanna, Lagun and many-many more… BLK says thanx for everybody…

Come down and hear us on December 5th and you’ll understand why it just got ridiculous.

About Swain:

It’s been almost six years since he’s been on the go in Budapest.

He jumped into electronic music in 1998. The techno and psy sounds swept over him like a fly on shit…but breaks and drum & bass also had an important aspect on his development. He then later derived solace from house. First he was crazy about the mesmerizing rhythms of  progressive-house. He was eventually grabbed by the cosmic pull of some mixes from Palotai and Naga. These musical materials were not easy to get in those times, especially while he was residing in Székesfehérvár. He went through a colossal change of taste when, from week to week, heading home with a tired head, he entered ARC Café to have a drink and listen to Crimson’s sets. The music spun by Crimson was showing him the way – but Swain was still walking on the good old path of progressive house. ….

As time passed by, his taste in music have changed, he started to be interested in more mellow and unique sounds. ….

Moving to Budapest was fruitful – one of his mixes found it’s way on to the mix-series Deepcourse on Deephouse.hu. In these times he preferred underground clubs, getting down and dirty. Exhibitions, classical music concerts and lots of parties in Trafó were all part of the musical experience.

Three years ago he had the pleasure to meet Two-B-Music’s Steven M, who was blown away by Swain’s promo mix – one week later they were playing together. Their common subject-matter of exquisite underground house lead the way. During the summer of 2007 these two were spinning in Budapest’s Millenáris park every Saturday from the afternoon to midnight, receiving nothing nothing but positive feedback. ….

Swain had a revelation in May of 2007, when Frank Wiedemann, half of the duo Âme was standing behind the decks on a beautiful night. Another hit came in August – during a set presented by Dixon under the stars… everything changed, he knew he was looking for this sound, and he found it then. ….

His special taste - basically under appreciated in Hungary - appealed to the guys of Two-B-Music, since then his name is making a mark. From time to time he’s rocking the booth at parties and radio programs of Lick The Click!, Ablak-A-Dubra, Cökxpôn, Tilos, Justmusic.FM, Tripla, Artkatakomba, Mono, Merlin, Chachacha, Pántlika. ….

Swain’s music can send you to distant beautiful places, it is full with sensual and lovely sounds – no wonder since Swain is crazy for contemporary modern jazz too. This is what gives him relief, energy and spirituality from the „other side”. His taste can be best described as surreal underground house music dressed in our times’ soutane. ….

.. .. Have a pleasant journey!….

Join them in celebrating the 2nd anniversary of El Ridiculoso. This party helps showcase the hottest underground talent that Budapest has to offer and it all takes place where anything can happen. Last year’s rotation of DJs included Naga, Wachter & Rene Mascarpone, Sinko, Total Carlos, Bassdroid, Vittorio Waxman and others. All of them worked their magic at Vittula…the venue which oozes a no frills but in your face attitude. The party and venue attract a wide range of people which adds to the party’s mystique. You’ll find headbangers, house heads, punks, drunks, techno snobs and the musically illiterate all turn into true party people while Dr Pokoly and Curtis aka Dentist and their esteemed guests orchestrate El Ridiculoso from behind the mixing desk.

You can preview the sounds of Dr Pokoly on the mixes page.
