(Liquid Sky Recs was most a dancefloor friend record label that supported D&B and illbient acts. They also so spun off Jungle Sky Recs. One of my best friends was on said label).

I met Raz the first week I moved to NYC. I made the faux pas of making constructive criticism of a tzadik work he was working on, and asking about his heritage (I was from the South, there's not much diversity). I did become friends w/ his accomplish sound artist, wife, Marina Rosenfeld.

Ah, ngh, you stepped in it. Well, there's a power couple!

Raz also put out a few 12"s on Liquid /Jungle Sky Recs w/ John Ward as Sub Dub, so, the set comes full circle...

Can we get that fly on the air during the back announce break?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:21pm

Sub Dub, Badawi, illbient... all associated or birthed by Messinai.

@Henry, the thing is LOUD! and I thought it might come across the mic specially when it comes at my head. Ugh.

To this date, Dj Olive is one of my mates. I went to see him my first week in NYC, and he was out of town, so, there was a fill in. The next week I met him, and he introduced me to pretty much everyone. (he's in the mountains of British Columbia right now producing music and looking after his daughter).

Otherworldly. Where can I buy a ticket?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27pm

For the record, Olive is widely credited with coining the term illbient.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:31pm

@Sem. Mesinai helped me whip this (old-ish) track into radio-worthiness and sent me links to newer stuff like this, called Death Watch: www.youtube.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:33pm
david w:

Oh this damn fly is distracting. The piece is called Death Notes, not Watch, oy.

Olive gifted me a cdr of his recording w/ Luc Ferrari at the Kitchen. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it and it only plays in my car.
