Music Interview by IYB - Mon 22/06/2009 at 03:03

IYB: Let's start by you, One87, isn't that the code for murder? Did u already killl someone or you just liked the movie?
187: Honestly, I picked that name in 1989, so that was way before the movie!



IYB: Some words about your carreer?
187: I've been loving  Jungle & Drum’n’bass since 1992, so I'm dj-ings since then, strictly for fun … I've always tried to push the DnB music scene in Belgium, Star Warz is one of my main accomplishments on that level.
I'm known as a DJ (One87, Millennium Kru,..), as a producer (Signed a tune on Critical Recordings recently), as a promoter (Star Warz) and a recordshop-owner back in the 90's.

IYB: And something about the releases?

187: My first release will be out soon! I just started producing 6 months ago Emoticon_smile

IYB: Any words on the hardware/software you are using?
187: Mac G5 + Logic8 & Reason4

IYB: Millennium Kru is still one of the main names in Belgian drum and bass but is it true that the original team changed?
187: The Millennium Kru stopped in the beginning of 2008. Now I’m going solo

 
IYB: About Star Warz, It's one of the main foundations for drum and bass in belgium. When did it started? Any words on the evolution?

187: It all started since March 2001 and the evolution is nothing but positive Emoticon_smile, it just keep getting bigger and bigger.
 
IYB: So can we expect an even bigger edition in 2011 for a 10 years massive XL?

187: Sure thing! Just wait and see.
 
IYB: The concept behind Star Warz?

187: It’s not about being the biggest, but about being the best! (As in ‘best quality’ off course &hellipEmoticon_smile

The concept is really simple; make a good party and watch all details carefully while doing it!

 
IYB: Who's behind Star Warz?
187: Mathias from Kozzmozz (Organiser) & myself off course (Artistic manager)

IYB: Any connection with the drum and bass sculpture parties (in Vooruit) back in the days?
187: No, absolutely not.
 
IYB: Lately you are opening your parties to dubstep, did you invite other genres in the past as well?

187: Not really… the dubstep thing just happened…
 
IYB: Why this style? Is it a good working combo?
187: Obviously D’n’b & Dubstep have a lot in common. Not only musicwise, but also the people involved; A lot of them were in to d’n’b before.
And yeah, it works out real nice together!
 
IYB: Do you have any other projects besides Star Warz (forthcoming?)
 
187: Yes; “Daily Dubstep”, a new Dubstep concept @ the Vooruit in Ghent!
First one on 30/10/09 with Benga & Skream!!
 
IYB: In our mind Star Warz is affiliated with Vooruit. Did you ever thought about doing it in another venue or do a programation for a festival?
187: Well, we host  a stage on Tomorrowland for years now… and did stages on City Parade, so yeah…we did thought about that Emoticon_smile


IYB: What can we excpect for this massive XL edition?
187: Real cool dj sets, good soundsystem, chilled drinks & hot vibes … for only 20€.

Peace!

A new dubstep concept with Skream & Benga - sounds very new to me Emoticon_smile


yeah, very forward thinking ... Emoticon_smile


First edition of a new concept in a big venue... I guess these are the names you need to be break even guaranteed. Shame though, would've been nice to see Geiom or Goth Trad etc. on the bill. Just hope it doesn't become a regular thing, like Doc Scott or Ed Rush taking turns on the Star Warz editions. Have to say though, really enjoyed the SW parties before everyone there seemed younger than me Emoticon_smile
