ONLY 2 AND A HALF HOURS BEFORE THERE WAS A CROWDED LINE OF PEOPLE GOING AROUND THE CORNER OF WEST BROADWAY AND THOMAS STREET. PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO GET INTO THE VENUE LOCATED AT 62 THOMAS STREET. THE NIGHT IS JUST ABOUT TO START….

"SINCE MUSIC IS AN EVER-EVOLVING PROCESS" ONE SHOULD NEVER FORGET THE ALWAYS PROCEEDING FAST FORWARD ABILITY OF SOUND. IT HAS AN ETERNAL QUALITY, AND EVERY NOTE AND INSTRUMENT PLAYED CAN BE HEARD FOREVER.

SOMEONE WHO STARTED OUT SELLING RECORDS IN A LITTLE STORE IN MUNICH, WHICH WAS RUN BY DJ TOMCRAFT (KOSMO RECORDS) AT THE TIME AND EARLIER BY TOM NOVY (MTV), SHOULD TRANSFORM INTO SOMEONE NOT ONLY GIVING PEOPLE RECORDS, BUT ALSO MUSIC. DURING MUCHO’S LAST YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL TOMCRAFT OFFERED HIM A WEEKEND JOB IN HIS RECORD STORE (WHICH ALSO WAS GREAT PLATFORM TO DISTRIBUTE HIS MIX TAPES SEQUENCE ”KEEPERS OF THE FUNK” AND LATER ”DOWNTOWN SESSION”), AFTER ACHIEVING HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE IN GERMANY, MUCHO TURNED OUT TO BE WORKING FOR KOSMO RECORDS (TOM NOVY, DJ TOMCRAFT, NALIN AND KANE, DA HOOL, NOVY AND ENIAC, AND MANY OTHERS) NOT YET AS ARTIST THOUGH. BRINGING A GREAT DEAL OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE INTO THE LABEL, MUCHO WAS ABLE TO ADVANCE IN HIS PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AS MUSIC INDUSTRIALIST. THAT OF COURSE WAS THE STRIDE TO START GETTING ENTREPRENEURIAL. WE BEGIN WITH THE MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS: WE COULD NATURALLY ASSUME THAT IT WOULD BE KOSMO RECORDS AS CLOSEST AFFILIATE…. BUT IT WAS ERIC POWELL’S LABEL BUSH RECORDS U.K. WORKING AS INDUSTRIALIST FOR ONE COMPANY AND RELEASE ON THE SAME AS ARTIST - THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO EASY - WHERE IS THE CHALLENGE?!

"ORGANICA" IS AGAIN ANOTHER RELEASE ON THE UK LABEL BUSH RECORDS ALONG WITH BRUNO BALAREZE AND TECHNO ALL TIME RUNNER DANILO VIGORITO, DISTRIBUTED BY INTERGROOVE. THE TRACK RELEASED IN EARLY 2003 MADE INTO UK’S AND IRELAND’S TOP DJ LOUIS OSBOURNE’S CASE AND WAS ON HIS CHARTS FOR QUITE SOME WHILE. NOW LOUIS SAYS: “HOOK ME UP WITH YOUR LATEST STUFF”. DURING HIS TIME WORKING FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HE STARTED TO TAKE DJING MORE SERIOUSLY THAN EVER. SUDDENLY, A WELCOMING OPPORTUNITY AROSE AND WAS CLOSE TO CATCH, FOR SOMETHING, WHICH WAS A DREAM FOR OTHERS. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF WORKING AT KOSMO RECORDS THE NEXT LEVEL HAD TO BE ACHIEVED. OWN PRODUCTIONS AND OWN RELEASES WERE SOON TO COME. IN 2000 HE RECORDED HIS FIRST RELEASE "ELITE", ALSO FOR BUSH RECORDS, AT THE AGE OF 21. STILL, ALMOST ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER FEEDBACK CONTINUES TO COME IN ESPECIALLY FROM THE US, RADIO SHOWS HAD BEEN OFFERED ON A FREQUENT BASIS

IT WAS A ”SPLENDID” DEAL, AS TO SAY, BEING PART OF THE COMMUNITY ON BUSH RECORDS THAT CONSISTED OF PIONEERS LIKE DAVE CLARKE, THOMAS SCHUMACHER, DEVILFISH, TIMO MAAS, FILTER SCIENCE, JOEY BELTRAM, TREVOR ROCKCLIFFE AND MANY MORE. TRACKS LIKE ”ELITE” AND ”CHROME” STAYED ON A LONG-TERM SALE BASE IN OLIVER MCGREGOR’S STORE PLASTIC FANTASTIC IN LONDON, ”MANHUNTER” ENTERED THE CHARTS IN NEW YORK CITY’S BEST VINYL DEALERSHIP: ”SATELLITE RECORDS”. “ROCK CITY” AND “PARIS UNDERGROUND” WILL BE BECOME PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON BUSH RECORDS BY THE END OF 2003, ALONG WITH THE NEW PROJECT “KINGS OF SPIN” WHICH WILL BE RELEASED ON JELLYBEAN RECORDINGS FEATURING THE TITLES “BAHIA MADNESS” AND “ENDLESS SUMMER”

AT THE AGE OF 22 HE FELT THE URGE FOR NEW COMPETITION AND LEFT KOSMO RECORDS AND EUROPE BEHIND. THE USA WAS HIS NEW TERRITORY. BASED IN NEW YORK CITY, MUCHO IS TRYING TO ESTABLISH SOME BASIS FOR THE SOUND FROM EUROPE.

4:30 AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE PARTY IS COOKING, DRINKS BEING POURED, PEOPLE DANCING WHEREVER THEY CAN. THIS DEFINITELY LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING THAT IN NEW YORK IS DONE ALMOST ON A REGULARLY BASIS…. TO PULL AN ALL NIGHTER.

THE LOCATION AMONG THE GREATEST – NEW YORK CITY ITSELF. NEWLY RELOCATED INTO THE MELTING POT OF GOOD AND EVIL, BLISS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS, MAKE IT OR DON’T, DEFINITELY DESIGNATED A TRUE CHALLENGE. KEEPING IN MIND THAT OF ALL ARTISTS IN NEW YORK, MOST OF THEM ARE MUSICIANS, MUCHO SIGNED WITH JELLYBEAN RECORDINGS, RUN BY LEGENDARY JOHN “JB” BENITEZ, FOR HIS NEW PROJECT “KINGS OF SPIN” (KINGS OF SPIN WILL RELEASE “BAHIA MADNESS AND “ENDLESS SUMMER” BY THE END OF 2003).

SOME SAY IT’LL TAKE YOU A LONG TIME TO GET WHAT YOU WANT – WELL DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU WANT AND IF YOU EVERY CONSIDERED OF MAKING YOU JOURNEY YOUR GOAL.

GOING TO THE STUDIO IN NEW YORK IS ALWAYS FUN, EITHER PEOPLE DON’T SHOP UP AND WHEN THEY SHOW UP THEY’RE STONED AND DON’T THINK ABOUT THE MUSIC, BUT WHAT THEY CAN CONSUME TO SATISFY THE URGE, AS A RESULT OF THEIR MUNCHIES. ”I STILL HAVE TO GO HOME AND GO TO THE STUDIO THERE – HAVING A HOME STYLE FEELING WHEN IT COMES TO PRODUCTIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT” – AND JUST MAKING MUSIC IS WHAT IT´S ALL ABOUT.

NEWS: UCHO STYLEZ AND KC SMOOTH PRESENT "KINGS OF SPIN" COMING TO YOU DECEMBER 2003 ON JELLYBEAN RECORDINGS. WATCH OUT FOR "BAHIA MADNESS" AND "ENDLESS SUMMER"
