Petrzalka is one of the boroughs full of buildings built from concrete panels joined together to form the structure, which were widely deployed throughout the Eastern Bloc during the communist era. Somewhere here, on the south bank of river Danube in slovak capital Bratislava on the street named by A.I.Gwerkova and in a rental flat shared by two girls - Gaspi a Zsuzsi, the story of Gwerkova begins...

Both girls experienced in other music projects decided to collect such music ideas, which seemed to be useless concepts for their other bands. Going from unplugged to electro-folk, to pop and afterwards to ambient, Gwerkova found its current sound in 2010, when the electronic music producer Jani Ürögi joined the band. 

Later in October 2010, Gwerkova released their very first EP, 6Ears on indie label Exitab (formerly ExitLabel). 6Ears EP finally presents Gwerkova as a band creating more spherical music combining with electro,-folk,-IDM,-dunkelpop,-field recording or experimental elements. Dreamy but still disturbing EP surely deserves to exceed the borders of small ex-East-block country...

Take your chance to listen to this fresh music - 6Ears EP is free to download directly from EXITAB label webpage.

Enjoy the sounds, J.

Could it be that the future of dubstep would be hidden in the 70s and 80s disco records? 

Dutchman Dave Huismans challenged himself to find the answer to this question and released the results of his experimental investigation on April 4th, 2011 in form of his 3rd LP, Fever on his own label When In Doubt.

The fact Mr Huismans moved pretty far from the dark, heavy dubstep waters that he dived into on his debut LP Aerial as well as he left all thw two-step and garage rythms served to listeners on following release, Unbalance can be felt already in album opener full of broken beats, Winamp Melodrama. 

If you would like to taste all the essences of this unique dubstape cake made out of disco dough, take the opportunity and listen to the full length release. Enjoy! j.

Have you ever seen Bob? 

Bob is a guy that could be any guy you ever met on your trips around the world or within the depth of your fantasy. Straight, queer, sad, funny... Bob can be anyone you want him to be as well as he could be yourself... Bob is a cardboard character that lomographers and photographers from different parts of the world are turning into living object in their pictures...

Have you seen bob? is a global photographic project, an open exhibition created by tinlizard as part of the promotion for their upcoming book. tinlizard are Richard Legg and Jacob Woods-Maher, artists that undertake corporate and private commissions in a wide range of styles and media. 

It's just something less than two weeks, since Bob became my roomate and companion in my everyday life and I am looking forward to share my pics of Bob with you. First rolls are being processed already, come back soon to check the results in my:w0rks gallery.

For more information about tinlizard's Have you seen Bob? project, as well as for the instructions how to join the project click the picture at the top of the post.
