    A musical profile of the Hebemedia team 

    Dj @ Clique, BarcelonaName Lee

    Complete the following;

    Your favourite…

    Act  Daft Punk / Adam Tensta

    Genre  Everything!

    Era 90s

    Song of all time Next - Wifey

    Song at the moment Unthinkable (I'm Ready) by Alicia Keys

    And your worst…

    Act Anything from x-factor

    Genre Happy Hardcore (Although it is a love/hate!)

    Era 2000s

    A song to make you…

    Smile Baby Love Child - Pizzicato Five

    Dance Gordon's Groove!

    Relive your youth Go On Move - Reel 2 Real... TUNE!

    Best gig ever... Morillo @ Gatecrasher Summer Sound System in 2001 I think :/

    The music industry of today is… Going through massive changes

    Bring back... Acts with personality and charisma 

     

    A regular at Leeds FestName Simon

    Complete the following;

    Your favourite…

    Act  Wow, what a hard question. Elbow have been consistently brilliant. But then again, so have U2, though their lead singer is a {quote deleted}. AIR, the "French band", have produced the best album ever. Oasis are, simply, brilliant but their lead singer was also a {quote deleted}. Meatloaf would do anything for love, but he would clearly lose a fight to the Rolling Stones. My money would be on John Cage:  his most successful record was 4'33 of silence, and there is a lot to be said for making something out of nothing.

    Genre Depends on my mood. If you pushed me into a corner I suppose my happiest memories have an electronic house soundtrack. 

    Era The 60's and 70's away (Northern Soul always makes me smile), the 90's at home (imagine life with out Warren G's Regulate; Snow's Informer; Alison Limerick's Where Love Lives etc.)

    Song of all time Chav Master Rap

    Song at the moment Don't really have one at the mo

    And your worst…

    Act Jedward - murder is not my style, but if it was...

    Genre R&B - so disconnected from it's musical roots; so disconnected from social reality; I wish I could disconnect my ears when Lee plays it. 

    Era Agree with Stacey: Music today is seriously depressing.

    A song to make you…

    Smile In a little while, U2 (the first dance at the wedding to my amazing wife, Becky.)

    Dance The Joker, Steve Miller Band

    Relive your youth White Snake's Is This Love

    Best gig ever... Soul Wax at the Warehouse Project, Manchester, 2008 - still get tingles thinking about it!

    The music industry of today is… called iTunes, has Simon Cowell's hair, Lady Gaga's dress sense, and none of the brilliance of the creative talents it exploits. 

    Bring back... Tony Wilson

     

    Checking out Opera In The ParkName Shang Ting

    Complete the following;

    Your favourite…

    Act It changes rapidly, lately I like Alan Pownall, Eliza Doolittle, Lykke Li, The Do kind of style.

    Genre  All

    Era 40s, when people sang like birds, and late 90s.

    Song of all time New Radicals - You Get What You Give

    Song at the moment N.E.R.D Hypnotise You

    And your worst…

    Act Tila Tequila

    Genre Heavy Metal, Metal, Rap. Not a big fan of hardcore music.

    Era The hippy part of the 60's

    A song to make you…

    Smile Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms)

    Dance Santana - Smooth

    Relive your youth Beauty And The Beast, The Little Mermaid, Lion King and Mulan

    Best gig ever... Can't say so far, I need to go more to decide

    The music industry of today is… good in a way that talent is easier to find by musicians using social media to promote themselves. 

    Bring back... New Radicals

     

    Playing around @ The Palace, BarcelonaName Stacey

    Complete the following;

    Your favourite…

    Act Placebo and The Cure

    Genre  Most genres especially Rock, R&B and Country Music!

    Era The 80's of course ;-)

    Song of all time Toss up between Boys Don’t Cry by The Cure and Every you, Every Me by Placebo

    Song at the moment Adam Tensta and Pato Pooh - Follow Me

    And your worst…

    Act Anything from The X-factor

    Genre  Is The X-factor a genre now? Pop!! It was fun in the 80's and 90's but now it's mostly recycled acts that are never as good as the original

    Era The current one! My i-tunes consists of mainly old tunes and a few talented international acts

    A song to make you…

    Smile Adam Sandler - Grow Old With You

    Dance Blitzkrieg Pop By the Ramones or Hey Ya by Outkast

    Relive your youth Anything by The Backstreet Boys(i know every song off by heart!) whom i worshipped between the ages of 10 and 15 and a song from my late teens; Basketcase by Green Day.

    Best gig ever... Placebo in Benicassim

    The music industry of today is… In need of big changes! People need to start appreciating real music again. Although i do love the increase in talented Hip Hop acts from the Uk! Represent! ;-)

    Bring back... The 80's in every way possible!

    I have to agree with Simon, the 2 Many Djs gig at the warehouse project was AMAZING!
