Interviu Hazee

Hazee

Numele de scena “Hazee” este asociat in general cu “Skunk Predatorz”. Ca si membru fondator al acestei oganizatii, Hazee aduce un aport considerabil scenei de muzica electronica in special in zona de vest a tarii. Cea mai importanta contributie este fara indoiala pentru festivalul “Summer Break”.

Inca din 2000, Hazee este preocupat de muzica electronica, chiar daca informatia la vremea respectiva circula pe canale mai restranse. Isi incepe cariera prin seturi melodioase drum and bass, transmitant foarte mult positive vibe la orice eveniment la care este prezent. Ulterior, datorita felxibilitatii sale, Hazee trece in revista mai multe genuri si mixurile de studio devin din ce in ce mai diversificate. Deep house, electro, techno, dub/reggae sunt genuri care poti fi ascultate in seturile semnate Hazee.

Interviu Hazee

De ce Hazee?
Initial a fost Haze, un pseudonim strans legat de pasiunea mea pentru flori si gradinarit :) Dupa ce am descoperit ca mai exista deja vreo cativa artisti cu acelasi nume, m-am decis sa-i mai adaug un ‘e’. Hazee a devenit astfel numele noului hibrid muzicalo-agricol, pastrand caracteristicile genetice ale primului…

Hazee Label/Organizatie.
In jurul anului 2002, alaturi de Jeaon, am pus bazele colectivului de promoteri ‘Skunk Predatorz’ cu care am organizat diverse evenimente in Deva si imprejurimi, iar dupa 2006 si in Cluj Napoca, Timisoara, Arad, Sibiu si Bucuresti. Mai tarziu, ni s-a alaturat 3P, care ne-a sprijinit inca de la primele evenimente. Whiteroly, Alex Chronic si MOFO reprezinta noua generatie si ma bucur ca aud numai de bine despre ei. Momentan activitatea mea in Skunk Predatorz s-a redus substantial datorita faptului ca nu mai locuiesc in Deva, dar asta nu inseamna ca am iesit la pensie :) In 2008 am infiintat ‘High Definition Music’, un label digital care are ca scop promovarea productiilor artistilor romani din sfera muzicii electronice.

Influente muzicale? Genuri abordate?

As putea enumera ca influente cam tot ce am ascultat incepand cu anii ‘90. In general nu refuz nimic daca e bine gatit :) Primele, discuri le-am primit prin 2000 de la niste artisti din Lille care au trecut prin Romania si mai tarziu au trimis ‘ajutoare’ fratilor francofoni mai saraci. Deep house, electro, techno si… dub/reggae produs in Franta, care m-a vrajit instantaneu. Mai tarziu, am inceput sa-mi cumpar discuri din Ungaria, release-uri breaks si drumandbass si asa am ajuns sa mixez. Drumandbass a fost genul in care am investit cu preponderenta pana in 2007 cand am inceput sa acord mai multa atentie si altor genuri, mai linistite ca bpm, de la dubstep la dub techno. Momentan incerc sa amestec armonios cat mai multe ‘genuri’ - nu-mi plac etichetele, muzica e muzica… Oricum, sincer sa fiu, nu stiu cat de des voi avea ocazia sa fac un set ca mixul asta la vreun party.

De cand pui muzica?

Aproximativ, de la sfarsitul lui 2001.

Gig favorit.

Unul din preferatele mele ramane cu siguranta setul de la rasarit, cu Rapala,la prima editie Summer Break, in 2005. Probabil undeva la egalitate cu Warm Up-ul de anul acesta din Sibiu si un 48 de ore de acum vreo 2 ani cand am mixat de dimineata, dupa SUV.

Ce artist roman crezi ca e foarte fresh si merita promovat?


Radio Space Pop

Software? Hardware? Analog? Digital?

Cand am inceput sa mixez nici nu cred ca existau cdj, ca sa nu zic de usb :) E uimitor cat s-au putut schimba lucrurile in ultimii ani. Evident ca fiind aproape in 2010, calculatorul nu-mi mai ruleaza cu Windows 2000 si posibilitatile s-au inmultit exponential. Din toate cate putin.

Care e locul ideal pentru a sustine un show?
Oriunde exista o sonorizare decenta si oameni care sa vina sa se distreze, nu sa faca parada modei. Prefer sa mixez in aer liber sau in spatii neconventionale decat in cluburi si pub-uri, desi au si ele farmecul lor.

Locatie.

M-am nascut in Deva si momentan locuiesc in Bruxelles (Belgia).

Timpul liber.

In masura in care il am, incerc sa il folosesc cat mai eficient. Printre altele, invat limba olandeza, Cubase, ascult muzica si cand am inspiratie scriu cate un articol pentru InYourBass.com. Everyday is something new…

BIO

Hazee is an artist coming from the city of Deva in the western part of Romania. He started collecting music during the 90’s  and got more and more attracted by getting himself involved in the local music scene that was by that time in its early stage of development. His musical roots are connected with grunge, britpop, trip hop and electronica in the veins of Leftfield, Global Communication, FSOL and Aphex Twin. On the way he discovered jungle through Goldie and Adam F’s first albums and dub/reggae through a bag of records donated by some generous people in Lille. Circa 2000 he collaborated with the rock group Bio.Dome with whom he recorded a few demos and played several gigs as a sample/scratch dj. Around 2002 the group split and the decision to start mixing came naturally. The real kickstart as a dj was at TM Base festival 2002 (Timisoara), the only electronic music festival in the country by that time. In the following years he got gigs in the most important cities all over Romania at festivals and clubs and occasionally in Hungary and Germany.

A positive attitude and uplifting selections which had funky and dubwise infusions across the musical genres generated a busy diary and a solid guarantee for good times. Radio shows, festivals, big raves, clubs, small pub parties or corporate anniversaries were all added to the gig list. While in the beginning his sets were concentrated around drumandbass, the past 3 years brought a different approach and a slower tempo. His passion for dub inspired music resulted in DUB Predatorz – a decks’n’fx project since 2006 alongside Rapala. From a Hazee set you can expect to hear nowadays anything from idm and dub techno to tropical broken beats, funk, electro and dubstep with mashups, vocal samples and Balkan episodes. In his eclectic or genre specific selections (which can be both dub/reggae/dubstep and breakbeat/funk) you’ll find timeless classics, the freshest releases and a lot of forthcoming material.

After founding High Definition Music and moving to Belgium in the second part of 2008 he decided to focus more on the label and get more into music production. His first attempt, a deep dubstep tune resulted from his collaboration with German producer Hiten, was released in 2008 and will be followed by a remix EP in 2009.
