   About Thugfucker


** news bulletin **
Thugfucker have recently wrapped up recording sessions in Rome for their upcoming album and expect to start final mixing in NYC soon. More info to come..
*****************

I was two days deep in the Arctic tundra when i first started to hear the beats pounding through the air. It was bewildering. There wasn't supposed to be anybody living in a 1000 mile radius of this desolate spot, let alone a party. But after walking a few miles north I discovered two men gathered around a laptop, speakers and a giant battery.

Completely immersed in what they were doing they didn't even notice my presence. "Hmmm, this sounds right. Sounds good," one commented before the second launched into a heated discussion of how cymbal patterns affect the female libido. In my many journeys in the wilderness I had never heard anyone mention hi-hats before. I was intrigued. How did these men get here? Where did they come from? What business did they have deep in the heart of earth's inhospitable tundra? I knew at that moment that I had found the subject for my next article. These men would definitely inspire the piece that could catapult me to a better position within the National Geographic Society. Surely they'll send me to Galapagos next, I thought. Quickly I grabbed my Nikonos V and started shooting -- desperate to catch this spectacle on film.

And thus began my first encounter with Greg Oreck & Holmar Filipsson. What I had just witnessed was the emerging of one of their classic projects, "Thugfucker" and the beginning of what later became known as the "Deep Tundra Sessions".

It turns out that Holmar and Greg met in Greenland where they had both been individually exploring the worlds largest glacier. After their chance meeting at the summit, they quickly found they shared a common interest -- creating electronic music under extreme conditions. Together they took "Extreme Music" to a new level. Like Mr. Filipsson puts it : "We make music where no man has made music before."

Whether skydiving in the Andes, riding camels in the scorching Sahara or scaling the legendary and dangerous K7, the Thugfucker duo has managed to produce coherent beats and testosterone fueled productions that most people would never dream possible -- especially under such demanding circumstances.

Yet the Thugfucker guys thrive on it.

And their material catches the essence of extreme living. They can be caught djing and misbehaving at various clubs both sides of the Atlantic Ocean (Holmar based in NYC, Greg recently relocated to Paris) yet regardless of where they are their adrenal glands are always working overtime.

Individually these gentlemen have kept themselves quite busy. After living in NYC for almost a decade where he promoted and played at the various parties he's produced, Holmar launched Crack&Speed recordings two years ago with partner Jef K of Silver Network. There these guys have released over eight releases of what can only be described as "Music for the tuesday morning after party". Holmar has co-written many of these records under the various psuedonyms "Mr. Negative", "The Reykjavik Massive" and "The Spencer Filipsson Experience" and they have enjoyed considerable underground success. "The Spencer Filipsson Experience" (consisting of Holmar and Olivier Spencer") has done remixes for Pokerflat and Ibadan Records while "Mr. Negative" (Olivier Spencer, Freestyle man and Holmar Filipsson) has just signed an album deal with "Four Music" and crafted a remix for Telepopmusik. Their singles "Better Than You" and "Evacuate" on Fine Records have succesfully taunted crowds worldwide. Holmar recently relased his first solo 12" on Dirt Crew Records titled "Shining Hamburger" to rave reviews and in addition to "Thugfucker Records" is launching another label Manthraxx with his partner in both "Mr.Negative" & "The Spencer Filipsson Experience", Liv Spencer, January '06, first release, the new "Mr.Negative" single "More than a Feeling"..

Greg Oreck has spent the last ten years DJing around New York and around the globe. He welcomed the millenium in New Zealand with an 8 hour DJ set and has held the enviable position of official DJ for the prestigious Amsterdam Cannabis Cup. He recently won an award at Sundance for his work on the soundtrack of "Adrenaline Hunters", an extreme sports film by Victor Muh. His latest solo effort, "The Line" was released recently on Moodmusic and has been getting strong feedback and plays from Berliin and beyond. Other current projects include an ambient project with Eli Janney (of Girls Against Boys) under the name The Department of Human Genetics. He has also recently produced the single "Coffee is Ecstasy" with Master H as part of a new collaborative dance project.

**** stolen from DJ MAG’s “Top 100 DJ’s of The World” Collector’s Issue….

#74 SCOTT K.: Keeping the real house music alive, in the spirit of disco, and the triumvirate of house cities (NYC, Chicago, Detroit). ANYTHING – as long as it’s funky. This is doubtless Scott K.’s maxim, as the American house head sees anything that funks, grooves or moves to be house. In the lineage of Ron Hardy, Larry Levan, and MAW, eclecticism is the key.
BEST KNOWN FOR: Taking risks, breaking new music, reintroducing classics, and creating an intimate vibe.
