Godskitchen Worldwide presents an exclusive, first ever appearance in China by HARRY CHOO CHOO ROMERO (Bambossa / Subliminal / X Mix Productions, NYC).
The legendary US house DJ, owner of Bambossa Records, part of the X Mix stable alongside Armand Van Helden & Todd Terry and Erick Morillo's Subliminal label, lands in Shanghai for an exclusive one off show.
His first record, Soulfuric "Urban Turban" was clearly ahead of its time, weaving Arabic scatting with house grooves. Strictly Rhythm grabbed the record for release in 1995, and asked him to release a follow-up Soulfuric record, called "Sea Of Passion" which captured more Latin elements. Both records were licensed extensively, catapulting Harry's name and music out into the world.
A number of releases followed for labels like Emotive, Sex Mania, Power Music, and Gossip Records. One of Harry's major breaks resulted from C&C Music Factory's Robert Civilles' interest in one of Harry's creations named "Il Futuro", a house track with an Italian vocal from "World" EP.Robert asked Harry to write, produce, and arrange a song, "Saturday Night" for his 1996 LP "Robi-Rob's Club World". As expected, lots of work followed for Harry.
美国传奇House DJ Harry “Choo Choo” Romero首次亮相中国！他拥有着自己的厂牌Bambossa Records，同时参与Armand Van Helden & Todd Terry的音乐厂牌X Mix，Erick Morillo的音乐厂牌Subliminal label。早在90年代，Harry “Choo Choo” Romero便发行自己的个人混音专辑"Urban Turban"，接着是"Sea Of Passion"，逐渐被世人熟知。之后，Harry Romero持续发行了一连串倍受追捧的专辑，最发烧的单曲有"Il Futuro"，"Saturday Night"等等。

Describing her sound as “big room house”, Tania is as well known for her music as she is for her energetic performances behind the decks as she can often be found rockin out harder than the crowd while bringing in the next track and cueing up an accapella. Her motto is to make them sweat and never leave the dancefloor!
As well as presenting a weekly show for MoS Radio, Tania also writes a monthly column for M8 Magazine and runs 3 labels at her day job at Seamless Recordings. She found success on the label front initially with her own imprint – Pear Music – which found success with “Cheza” licensed around the world including the Defected in the House compilation among others and “Hypnotise Me” appearing on the “It’s All Gone Pete Tong” release.
After two releases on Pear Music: “Time Passes” and her own remix of “Cheza”, Tania has a new remix for Kinky Vinyl for early 2007 of Australian hero Nathan G’s “Chasing Rainbows” as well as original productions on the go for two other labels!
Tania von Pear的座右铭，就是使尽浑身解数将你牢牢绑定在舞池中，不跳到大汗淋漓绝不罢休！她的每一次DJ秀，通常你都会看到她比舞池中的人群更买力地摇摆！Tania绝非等闲之辈，她不仅为英国知名电台MoS Radio做节目，为M8杂志写专栏，同时在Seamless Recordings旗下经营着三个唱片厂牌，并且在她自己的厂牌Pear Music成功发行了两张混音大碟。

As the music industry continues to evolve, more and more artists are blurring the once-divided lines of DJ and musician. This Friday March 7, 2008 Shanghai Club Bonbon, Home of Godskitchen China proudly presents The Young Punx, one of UKs hottest acts who have earned high praise as by the likes of Judge Jules of BBC Radio 1, and Fatboy Slim.
The most insane/catchy tune of the year... Fatboy Slim
The Young Punx are pioneers of a new sound called Mashpop and Punkstep, and add to the list of groundbreaking, mixed up and mashed up artists/DJs that have stunned crowds at Club Bonbon over the past two years including Simian Mobile Disco, 2ManyDjs, Basement Jaxx' Felix B, Arthur Baker, Felix da Housecat, and The Scratch Perverts.
Their podcasts are among the most downloaded music shows on Apple's iTunes Music Store
The Young Punx are in fact the London-based duo Hal Ritson and Cameron Saunders. Over the past few years they have firmly established themselves as the new darlings of UK dance music, with many of the world’s top DJs championing their records and over 100 BBC Radio 1 plays to date. The duo are at the forefront of the UK dance scene, and their cheeky pop culture mentality has seen them catch the headlines in mainstream media as diverse as The Sun, The Mirror, La Stampa, Radio 4 news and even BBC 2 Newsnight.
They just recently released a full-length debut album "Your music is killing me". Their fresh and energetic sound that they term "Mashpop and Punkstep" is the natural next step in the evolution of mashup music - fusing elements of house, electro, breaks and drum and bass with an eclectic soundclash of popular culture references, rock, disco, 80s pop, classical and jazz to create something instantly original and resolutely accessible.
The Young Punx - Young and Beautiful
Tom Novy
Performed entirely by the band and their guests without any audio samples, and with a wry sense of cheeky humour and pop art sensibility, the album features tracks such as "Rockall", ‘Young And Beautiful’ and a surfer breaks track ‘You’ve got to...’ which is featured on the FIFA '07 EA computer game.
Today, The Young Punx are among the most highly demanded remixers in the UK. They have remixed artists such as Chicane and Tom Jones, Scissor Sisters, Hound dogs, Dario G, Tina Turner, Space Cowboy and many more. The Young Punx created the lead radio mix for Studio B’s “C’mon Get it On” which spent several weeks on the Radio 1 Playlist. Their radical Motown-meets-house overhaul of the classic Delacey "Hideaway" has gained a reputation as one of the most daring and enjoyable remixes of recent years, and most recently their mix of Norman Cook's "Mighty Dub Katz - Magic Carpet Ride" hit number 1 in the UK club charts.
Like 2ManyDJs/Soulwax, The Young Punx perform both as DJs and as The Young Punx live band. The full live band includes guitar virtuoso Guthrie Govan (Guitarist Magazine guitarist of the year) and vocals from Tiffany Gore (Medcab / Kraak en Smaak) and Yolanda Quartey (Bugz in the attic / Deekline / Cuban Brothers). In 2006 they performed for 2 nights at the Nano Mugen Festival in Japan to an audience of 24,000. Highlights of 2007 include performing at the Glastonbury Festival, the XFM Remix at Cargo, and SummerSonic Festival in Tokyo and Osaka.
More recently The Young Punx have recorded guest mixes for Annie Nightingale, XFM, Kiss FM, Andi Durrant’s Galaxy FM Network and Ministry of Sound radio, and several mixes for Judge Jules. They are residents at Positiva Calling at The Cross in London and have DJed at Radiohead’s aftershow parties in Earl’s Court
As well as co-running dance label MofoHifi, and performing in dance acts Medcab and Mohito, multi-instrumentalist Hal from The Young Punx also produces and/or performs behind the scenes on many other top 20 dance projects such as Eric Prydz's number one hit "Call on me”, "Shine" by the Lovefreekz, “Ai no corrida” by Uniting Nations and “Fire” by Lethal Bizzle. Hal is the vocalist on the top 20 hit “Tell me why” by Supermode on Data Records and co-wrote 3 tracks on the new album by David Guetta.
The Young Punx are the evolution of electronic dance music, mixing live performance elements into the DJ performance and taking the mashup to newer, higher levels. They perform a live DJ set at Shanghai Club Bonbon on Friday, March 7, 2008.
