Antiworld Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 After their successful first ever gig in a big nightclub, when they put up RAVE “ The International Indoor Festival" last July at SEOne, ResistAnts had a deserved rest, but are now back, bringing to London one of the most influential psytrance acts of the world: New Year’s Day with SKAZI live! Monday 1st January 2007 - RENAISSANCE ROOMS Off Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, SW8 1SD - Nearest Tube: Vauxhall 7am to 7pm With support coming from Never Enough and Antiworld, ResistAnts Luis Santiago and Helio de Oliveira are two Brazilian who started throwing house parties at their cosy flat in Brixton, in 2003. They used to lock the furniture up in one of the rooms and cover the windows with black curtains, transforming their home into a small club. Venue arranged, decoration and production came from countryman designer Miguel Carvalho the same one who did Timbaladas outfits for 2004 Carnival in Salvador, whereas Portuguese mates DJ Vega and Rui M were in charge of the sound system. The neighbours were also invited, so no one disturbed the party, which went on all night long. At 10am next day, fire fighters turned up, though what was suspected to be smoke, coming out of the windows, turned out to be just an artificial effect. From that day Luis and Helio realised they no longer could accommodate party-goers in a flat. After all these years, the next big step at ResistAnts history was their first event in a proper nightclub. They dared to organise RAVE The International Festival, booking renowned artists such as Lab4, Proteus, Talamasca, Pixel, Domestic and DJ Murphy, to name but a few. ResistAnts are ready for their comeback, and this time have prepared a storming New Years Day party: an impressive 12-hour gig, kicking-off at 7am and not finishing until 7pm. To welcome 2007, ResistAnts proudly present Israeli psytrance act Skazi, voted TOP 37 DJ by DJ Mag. Coming from a recent tour in Brazil, where they launched the latest work "Total Anarchy", Skazi, B-Bass & Co. will play live and a DJ set at the Psychedelic Room, supported by Chemical Crew and Antiworld. DJs Kalimamboh, Metaphase, Fortu, Simo and Sutekh are some of the psychedelic mafia members Under the Never Enough flagship, the second room is dedicated to progressive, dirty house, electro, breaks, minimal and techno, with sets from Brighton-based Eduardo Herrera, Southampton's new talent Stu Cox, brazilians DJ Paula, Reaction, Marcio Groove and Lucas Datt, amongst others. For those in need of a faster and harder music policy, DJs Vega, Rui M, Caballeiro and M.A.N. vs Toxigen command the hard dance clubbers. Last, but not least, the chill-out room. Coming from Norway, Bluebeat aka Moni & Askeladden, alongside Danny Stamp, Hemlock and Hefty, plays anything from chilled beats to tribal and tech house. This New Year's celebration is definitely not for the faint-hearted! So bear it in mind and have a day-off on 2nd January! (Words by Wagner Concha www.myspace.com/wagnerconcha) SKAZI The Skazi project is a myth within the psytrance scene. Asher Swissa (guitar) and Assaf B-Bass (synths) have been working together since 1998, producing a unique style of trance, rock, cyber and punk music as they defined themselves recently for DJ Mag. Asher began his career as part of Jerusalem punk rock band Sartan Hashad and three years later joined Rock Ba-Yarok, whereas Assaf has been involved with trance music since 1992, working alongside Yaniv Shulman (aka Mental Orange). Skazi also includes drummer Tamir Bazilai and bassist Guiladen. The name "Skazi" was Asher nickname, given to him by his childhood friends. Their debut album, Animal, launched in 2000, was revolutionary in its sound and direction, culminating with a huge worldwide success. With their influences coming from the punk and hardcore scenes, Skazi brought an innovative twist to psytrance by combining Asher live guitar riffs and Assaf storming synth-sounds. As a result, Animal became an overnight hit, positioning Skazi in the front row of trance creators in the world. The follow-up, Storm, came out two years later and kept Skazi on the crest of the psy wave, setting out world tours and blowing away crowds in countries such as their home Israel, Japan, Germany, Russia, India, Switzerland and Brazil. Between 2001 and 2004 Skazi compiled the Zoo trilogy and "Most Wanted compilation, releasing over 100 tracks in innumerous albums worldwide, which made them to keep at the top of the sales charts for months. Skazi's iconic stage performance, featuring Asher's guitar-wielding rock-star poses, combined with a recent string of cheeky remixes of 80's and 90's metal and punk songs (including Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", re-launched as Smells Like Humos Spirit; Metallica Seek & Destroy and Prodigy Voodoo People and Out of Space) has resulted in some pained groans from the psytrance purists. Besides, Skazi have also remixed Benny Benassi Satisfaction and Infected Mushroom I Wish. In 2005 they launched their first DVD, entitled Hit & Run World Tour, with footages of their performances in Israel, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and Japan. All Skazi’s productions have been released on their own recording company, Chemical Crew, formerly known as Shaffel Records. The label has not only changed name, but also signed some new artists, under exclusive contracts, such as Void, Exaile, Paranormal Attack and Tube, among others. This year, Skazi featured for the first time at DJ Mag TOP 100 DJs poll, reaching the 37th place. To celebrate it, on 11th November 2006 Skazi did a one-off world jam in Brazil, performing live with Israeli MC Big Fish, Portuguese guitarist Xangai (Paranormal Attack) and Brazilian drummer Igor Cavaleira (Sepultura) at XXXperience 10th Birthday party, in Sao Paulo.
