By the way, tell me what you think of my customized profile, i know it looks like the standard issue but it took me ages to design one with a few subtle differences...can you spot them?
Sounds Like
you can hear what it sounds like now if you go to www.artwaveradio.net where i have all my past programmes available to download or listen to at your leisure anytime!...plus i jockey my discs on www.vinylmicrostore.gr every week ( check my up coming shows )..but what it actually sounds like a deejay who is unwilling to restrict his set to any one genre...whose only criteria is kwality...though my 'audio obstacle course' focuses mostly on incredibly strange music, outsider music, early 50's novelty records and twisted exotica, you will also experience regretable celebrity records,the guilty pleasures of obsolete pop music, classic krautrock tracks, 70's disco, 80's pop attrocities, punk museum pieces, car boot sale jewels and whatever the hell else i feel like throwing your way...its an uber freestyle 'wrongist' dj mash up of my own concoction that is built on instinct and not marketing. if you like what you hear and you want to HELP ME SAVE MUSIC FROM ITSELF - dont hesitate to contact me cos i wanna take this concept global...actually why stop there?, apparently they just found a new planet with a similar atmosphere to earth 20 light years away...a new untapped market! (until it gets f****d up like this one...pardon my french), anyway if you have a pod i can cast from & you know how important it is to expect the unexpected in this corporate entertainment world get in touch & lets do business!
‘Dontcha wish your deejay was wrong like me?,
dontcha wish your deejay was a freak like me? dontcha? dontcha?'
Alright? You’ve just landed on my patch…I don’t know who you are but anyway...WELCOME TO MY WORLD! Im here to trade under the name of Carlos Slazenger- Dee Jay of radical, neglected & incredibly strange recorded sound, past present & future. I am a collector who has found that some of the most interesting things that exist are not those that are pushed into your face by the ACME multi-national entertainment corp. I create radio programmes & party nights that are intended to confound & surprise, something that mainstream music seems to have lost its talent for...ive decided to walk calmly away from the mega store with its safe 'alternative' coffee table lps & search the junkshops in the outskirts for obscure gems. It aint easy to answer what music I play when im asked, as I genuinely have no axe to grind regarding any one particular genre, and I am not in the least concerned with clutching at the coat tails of ‘cool’ .Though I am a lifelong fan of Captain Beefheart & The Fall, I suffer no pangs of wounded credibility by following them with Sabrina or Jethro Tull, im happy to play artrock, krautrock, early rockabilly, 50’s & 60’s novelty records, way out exotica, outsider music, regretable obsolete pop trash or W.H.Y alongside the collected works of The Chic Organisation plc.
My dj life proper began at the turn of the last century with my mates from Kosmische with whom I started to broadcast on www.resonancefm.com. It was around this time while suffering from ‘The Strokes’ (though everyone else thought they were the future…some form of collective madness?) that I was diagnosed as having a terminal case of cynicism, for some people this might have proved debilitating, perhaps it would mean they could only manage to struggle as far as their local supermarket to buy their daily music, but I found it gave me a new lease of life! I would rise early to attend all car boot sales within range of my ridiculous fibre glass car from the 70’s (a Bond Bug if you must know ), the only drawback being my inability to walk past a charity shop without entering. Things went a bit wobbly in 2002 when I met my main squeeze em kei & emigrated to Greece (by mistake). So now im in a flat in Athens surrounded by broken robots & music on obsolete formats, ive taken my concept to the clubs & bars with my friends as ‘Non Stop Hits’ & now The Dynamic Party Sound Duo... im currently starting a new night called ‘pub jukebox’ with mates from www.black-athena.com which is a homesick ex pats attempt to recreate an English pub experience ( the underlying threat of physical violence wont be easy to fake but we'll give it a go).You can download or listen to my shows at www.artwaveradio.net right now, or tune in to my regular podcast THE AUDIO OBSTACLE COURSE at www.vinlymicrostore.gr. I have every intention of continuing to search for overlooked oddities to charm you with for as long as I have left to inhabit this planet....
Incidentally, I have the technology to produce mp3 programmes for interweb pod dissemination, so if you wish to commission me for online projects as well as terrestrial broadcasts get in touch…lets do lunch! Just let me consult my Rasberry (?!) You may think I am foolish to think the idea that a show playing underground & obsolete overground records could have an audience,but now in my deluded mind i feel a public CRAVING for novelty & newness & for the overlooked also ran recordings of the past.This makes this project not only desirable but even, dare i say it commercial, im convinced that something has to change, colour supplement friendly cute punk & weedy RnB does not a satisfying record collection make, this tiresome capitalist world with its media sponsored rejection of difference,& its creeping corporate mediocrity of art made by commitee threatens to destroy everything that makes ANY kind of art interesting .This is seriously interfering with peoples overall sense of well being! I say : CRUNCH THE GENRES! SHOOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE!…& I want you to think that too…why?...because you’re worth it.
P.S if any of you lot out there have got a copy of ‘Band on the Trot’ by Hylda Baker & Arthur Mullard im willing to do anything to get my hands on it…anything....STOP PRESS! thanx to Vouno i now have a pristine copy...thank you so.
You can listen to carlos slazengers audio obstacle course anytime you like as all my past programmes are available to download or listen to at www.artwaveradio.net
....& If you havent had your fill after that lot then heaven help you!
If you have any recommendations or want to send me any bizzare or tasteless tunes you think i will want to play get in touch..........................HEY BY THE WAY IM NOW THE 11th BEST AIR GUITARIST IN THE WORLD! ( dont ask me how ) you can see a practice video of my act on 'my videos'....I thank you

Thank you for connecting! If you're interested, I'm offering one free original MP3 download to my new MySpace friends, just let me know the name of which track would you like to get and I'll tell you where to download it for free.
I just found it easy to imagine him limping and coughing his way 'round Athens, ignoring traffic signals and pounding on the hoods of taxi cabs driven by foreigners, "I'm walkin' here!"
I heard that you and Joe had another cozy movie night. How sweet the two of you are! I suggest "Midnight Cowboy" for next week's feature. When you do your re-enactment I think you should take on the Joe Buck role as Joe is far better suited as Ratso Rizzo.
Αληθινός άνθρωπος / ορχήστρα, ο 30χρονος Yoav – Εβραϊκής καταγωγής, μεγαλωμένος στο Cape Town της Νότιας Αφρικής και με έδρα, τα τελευταία χρόνια, τη Βρετανία – ξεκίνησε να ασχολείται με τη μουσική από πολύ μικρή ηλικία. Από την πρώιμη κλασσική παιδεία που του προσέδωσε η οικογένειά του (η μητέρα του είναι τραγουδίστρια της όπερας) μέχρι να φτάσει να θεωρείται σήμερα ως ο “πρώτος dance / folk / techno / pop τραγουδοποιός, ο Yoav διέγραψε μια πορεία η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται από ποικίλες, συχνά ετερόκλητες, επιρροές και μετακινήσεις από τη μία “μουσική πρωτεύουσα” στην άλλη, σε αναζήτηση της πολυπόθητης επιτυχίας.

Οι GAD. μετά την απόλυτη ραδιοφωνική επιτυχία του "The End Of The Road" και λίγες βδομάδες μετά την κυκλοφορία του δεύτερου τους video (Pray) από το ντεμπούτο album "System May Fall", θα εμφανιστούν για μιά και μοναδική βραδιά στην κεντρική σκηνή του Σταυρού του Νότου, παρουσιάζοντας το SMF, αλλά και καινούρια τραγούδια.
Special guests οι Pop Eye, ένα group που με την κυκλοφορία της πρώτης του δισκογραφικής απόπειρας (συμπαραγωγή των GAD), κατάφερε να ακουστεί πολύ στο ραδιόφωνο και παράλληλα να δημιουργήσει ένα φανατικό κοινό μέσα από τις προσεγμένες ζωντανές του εμφανίσεις.
