Ideas musicales para los que nadan contracorriente
Posted BrokenMix, Sesión on Wednesday, August 8th, 2007.
Above Smoke es un viejo amigo de BrokenLoop, nosotros nos declaramos auténticos fans de su trabajo como productor desde hace ya un tiempo.
El trabajo de Above Smoke se podría describir como una sinergia entre el pulso funk del deep house americano y el sonido mas electrónico europeo. Un puente tendido entre dos conceptos de la música House que funciona a la perfección. Claro ejemplo es la ultima referencia que ha publicado en Deep Explorer Music, sello que copilota junto a Dubbyman.
Como artista esta totalmente volcado en la producción y actualmente solo realiza lives. Este brokenmix es justamente su actuación en el pasado festival Observatori’07.

BIO Above Smoke
Javier Álvarez a.k.a. Above Smoke, producer from Madrid proprietary and responsible of the sound quality of the underground label Deep Explorer music (mastering, mix and additional production).
Usual collaborator in other labels like Bucketround, Signs of Authority or Sybaris with tracks, remixes or production labours.
His beginning in the production area starts in 2000. In his firsts steps, Above was involved in the instrumental hip hop scene, always full of ,many elements from the jazz, the soul but later he lets his mind open to other styles like minimal, house, electro or broken beats. An example of this is his first maxi Hysteria ep (Deep Explorer 004) edited in may of 2005.
Various remixes and some tracks later, Above edits with Dubbyman his best work until today. ..Jazz pollution ep Sybaris recordings, a division of Deep Explorer label created exclusively to edit the tracks that represent the most relaxed part of Detroit sound. The name of the label takes his name from the club where they play every week.
In this days he had a new ep edited (Divine radiation ep), the forth reference in the label Signs of Authority and is near to finish the next reference on Deep Explorer, a vocal track featured by Marvin Belton and the remixes of Scott Fergusson the owner of the american label Ferrispark. His next project is his own live show.

Muy rico, la de Sweet Love se sale
New tracks are awesome. It’s great to get a taste of sheer brilliance all in the one mix. Fair to say this sampler is stuck in the CD player.
These are the best thing you can do with your weed!! not only is it cheaper to get messed up on, but it also won’t hurt your lungs. Pot Crackers have to be personal favorite thing to do to get high. I suggest you try it!!!
