Commix have had support across the board from D&B titans Andy C, Fabio, Goldie and are already are a drum’n’bass icon in the making. Come down to Hospitality’s new home on Feb 28 to see this dynamic duo in action. You won’t regret it.

如果告诉你MC STAMINA要来上海 为森林动物们唱上一个热闹的现场
不知道你会邀请多少好朋友一起去疯？

但是海报上清清楚楚的写着MC STAMINA和日本第一的鼓打贝司总司令 DJ AKI！
我只想说庆幸SHELTER是地下室 如果大家不小心把屋顶给锨翻了 那可怎么办才好。

日本首席Drum’N'Bass DJ果然不只是个封号而已 真的非常棒.那么多好听的音乐 激励着每一个神经和细胞去跳舞 去陶醉。
作为日本鼓打贝斯圈中最具人气和指标性的重要推手之一 不难听出 早年在纽约闻名遐迩的Drum’n'Bass唱片店Breakbeat Science的工作经历 给他的音乐风格以及选歌
打下了非常牢固的基础。娴熟的接歌技巧 活跃热情的现场表演再加上俊俏的外表 惹得当晚无数日本MM尖叫不已.从AKI的音乐里嗅到了摇滚 DUB以及强烈的TRANCE味道
我想这就是一个成功DJ的特点 虽然一直坚持做Drum’N'Bass 但融入了个人的性格以及喜好 丰富的音乐元素 只会让他的音乐 更加耐听。AKI的朋友KEI先生也整场陪同
认真的用DV记录下每一个上海森林动物的疯狂影象 相信等他们回到东京 看到这些有趣的片段 一定会想再来到上海吧！

而MC STAMINA 最初给大家的印象还停留在早些时候跟一些大牌的密切合作 像DJ MARKY等等 一首旋律朗朗上口的”LK”更是让内地的森林动物们迅速接受 并熟悉了他.
当晚 身着I LOVE JUNGLE的STAMINA充满了激情 一开声就吸引了所有到场的森林动物们 大家全挤到舞台旁边 竖起耳朵 就怕错过一句精彩的歌声.说唱 唱歌 跟大家交流
他都轻松的把各种各样的唱法融入到现场的表演当中 唱到精彩处更是走下舞台 进入失控的人群 与大家一起HIGH 一起跳舞 让大家大呼过瘾。一直认为 DJ和MC的合作
向来都是呈现出相辅相成 互相添彩的状态.但AKI和STAMINA第一次在上海合作演出 却联手将这种状态发挥到了极致。好听 好听 绝对的好听。

私底下 DJ AKI和MC STAMINA 一个平易近人 一个幽默风趣 作为世界级的表演嘉宾 他们的每一场演出 都倾注了全部的热情和努力 而每一位到场的乐迷们 也真切感受了
由他们的音乐传达的信息 意犹未尽的大家都希望能有再次领略的机会。 下一次 我们会问who wanna get high 因为我们知道了最佳的去处。
这样的现场 每天看 也不会嫌多。

After much talk and anticipation and even some skepticism amongst Shanghai’s DnB community, it appears that our Japanese comrades did not let us down. With DJ Aki spinning the decks and Stamina MCing, this was definitely an amazing way to start of 2009 with the first sweatshop of the year.

Right from the start of the set the sound was promising, playing an array of many different styles, staying close to the energetic sounds of sambass (Brazilian influenced dnb), liquid funk, and a occasionally bringing in a much needed chill break sound of dubstep. A nice mix of some dnb classics as well as some fresh tunes, the dance floor kept jumping through the night.

Accompanying this samurai of a Selekta, Stamina MC also did not fail to disappoint, keeping the crowd pumped with his melodic voice as well as amazing lines in the usual Stamina way. And of course, what night with Stamina wouldn’t be complete without an amazing rendition of Barcelona (which I must say was my personal highlight of the night).

All and all, it was a raving night. With an energetic crowd, a great MC and Selekta pair, and a whole case of good tunes, there was so much energy we nearly blew a fuse .

Don’t forget to check out DJ Siesta & Stamina MC + the phreaktion crew next Friday the 23^rd.
