ROCK DA WORLD Radio with YUKSEK Sept 19 09 Pt2
ROCK DA WORLD DJs Daniele Davoli and Chris Lloyd provide the latest in Rock’n’Rave Electro, featuring ‘The Girls’ & Lucy Arrowsmith.
This week:…we have YUKSEK!!
Yuksek was born in 1977 and spent his adolescence practising piano several hours a day at music school before realising that “the only job I could get was as a music teacher.” He was convinced that there had to be some other path to take. A fan of pop music, raised on The Beatles and Gainsbourg, amazed by the early West Coast rap of NWA and De La Soul and – above all – stunned in his early secondary school years by Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (the beginning of a chain of events that would eventually lead him to Lou Reed’s “Transformer”, what he calls “the unequalled summit of modern music”), he grew up to be an intrepid lad who decided, age 17, to stop the studying and start the adventure.
Originally with Birdy Nam Nam’s label and wunderkind of the blogs, Yuksek has since crafted some of the dirtiest, most inspired remixes of hits by Mika, Kaiser Chiefs, Ghostface Killah (Wu Tang Clan), French rapper Booba, Tahiti 80… His fiery live sets, where Yuksek’s svelte, supple physique swoops between his vintage keyboards and FX board, have set alight concert venues, clubs and festivals. Now, the suave musician - anything but a clubber, strangely enough - is poised to let loose his first album, packed full of future hits called “Tonight”, “Extraball” and “I Like To Play”….but not before he unleashes his sound unto us! This is PART 2.
