INTERVIEW

#1 Thanks for taking the time to do this interview Vonairs. Tell us a bit about yourself,
your name, age, where you're from and an interesting fact if you like...

We're two swedish guys, Petter and Elias, in our early twenties who loves to play and produce
housemusic. we live for it. At the moment we live i Stockholm, Sweden, most of the time in our
studio (haha). When we're not in the studio we spend time on the nightclubs or at the gym, gotta
work on them biceps for all the fistpumping done on stage.

#2 -Is there a story behind your name Vonairs?

Not really, when we decided to start produce housemusic together I (Elias) just thought of a
catchy band-name and Vonairs crossed my mind pretty quick. Petter and the other guys in the
crew liked it and here we are now. I think it's cool. Vonairs is like ”viktory on air”.

#3 -How long have you been a band?

Since March 2013.

#4 -What first got you interested in forming housemusic-duo?

I (Petter) think it was around 2008 when I first heard "555" with Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve
Angello and was completely stoked. Yeah, around that year for me (Elias) too. We have always
been interested in music overall but it's just something special with housemusic, it's so
motivating, every song can mean so much in different ways to the croud, so much energy.

#5 -What/who inspires your music?

The feeling when you making a melody/song from head to reality is magic. And when people
around you confirmes that its a great melody/song, something that you, together, made from
your mind... Probably on of the best feelings you can get.

#6 -Do you see being in a band as a career, or as a hobby?

Vonairs is definitely our carrier together.

#7 -What are you trying to do with your music? Do you want to help your community?
Are you trying to get rich? What is your goal for your music?

Housemusic is what we love, we want to deliver great housemusic to the world, that is what we
live for. Of couse we want to be able to provide our selfes on the music we create, but rich
should just be a bonus.

#8 -Have you ever performed live? How did it feel?

ROSE Nightclub , one of the biggest and crowdiest in Stockholm, crazy gig with a great crowd.
We droped our upcoming track Fucamo and the reaction from the people in the crowd were
great. Hard to describe who great that felt.

#9 -Do you have any kind of management, publishing or distribution team behind you? If
so what are their responsibilities?

Yeah, we have a crew behind us doing management and many things more. We're a really
good team, both as friends and as colleagues.

#10 -What are some accomplishments that you have achieved, and are most proud of?

I think we're most proud of the to upcoming tracks we're soon releasing, PITA and Fucamo.

#11 -What one tip would you give to other aspiring independent artists?

Just work hard, believe in yourself and don't give up, it's a bumpy ride even for Tiesto
sometimes!

Soul siren Teni unveils sultry new video for 'Your Love Is The Key'

 

 Comparisons to the great Sade Adu aside, soul singer and producer TENI is an African star in her own right, with the likes of Afrobeat co-creator Tony Allen, the BBC and original Rock bible NME counted as huge fans of hers. Her latest single “Your Love Is The Key” is a stunning and sensual number which sees the eclectic musician match her sultry captivating vocals to a slow-burning Afrobeat-infused groove-filled dance milieu, to stunning effects.

 Shot in Labadi Beach in Accra, Ghana, the visuals for “Your Love Is The Key” is a simple, natural and ethereal experience which not only accentuates the sultry uniqueness of the single but also pays homage to early 80’s photo-cinema and music. In full diva mode, Teni is glorious as she channels her sensuality and shows off her beautiful silhouette - rendering her viewer in awe and fully spellbound. Afrodisiac the debut album by Teni is out now on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Spotify.

Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects - Counterclockwise

Upon first listening to this group hailing from Croatia, it felt like a hybrid between the classic 80’s shred guitar band with a dose of modern melodic mayhem. Think Dream Theater mixed with Incubus.

To be honest, I was shocked at how well put together the sound was.

Ivan Mihaljevic is a master guitarist who can truly wail through his axe and his voice box.

He possesses that fine line between highly technical playing with a great sense of how to make incredible music.

Alen Frljak is an absolute monster on the drum kit. His cadence patterns are absolutely sick. The bass player, Majkl Jagunic completes the blend of an ideal rock trio.

Some of the tracks that truly stood out were, “Time Travel”, “Eclipse”, and “I Am”

Final thoughts on the group: this band is destined for greatness if they aren’t already ascended to the top of their craft.

Seems that whatever they wanted to do musically, they could crush it.

A musical steamroller with all of the goods to become modern day rock gods!

Lil Dee: “The Lions Den” Stories Of Struggles, Injustice And Real Issues!

The Real Lil Dee is a revolutionary rapper and hip hop entrepreneur with more than 350,000 followers worldwide. Lil Dee the son of a bank robber and drug dealer grew up visiting his father in prison. During his early adulthood Lil Dee would find himself engulfed in a life of crime and at war with a system determined to snatch away his freedom. On the run, he would often find himself in foreign countries exposed to multicultural societies and philosophies which heavily influenced him as an individual.

In an effort to change his life and not wanting to follow his father’s footsteps, Lil Dee began to immerse himself into the music business and now can be found promoting and marketing underground hip hop artists via Rapmonster.com. He is constantly educating the masses about systematic racism, false religion and oppression through social media outlets such as Twitter, where he has well over a quarter of a million followers.

On the 10th of February 1925, a great man penned his well known “First Message to the Negroes of the World From Atlanta Prison”, wherein he made his famous proclamation: “Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for, with God’s grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.”

That man was Marcus Garvey. A Jamaican political leader and orator who was a staunch proponent of the Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism movements. Garveyism inspired others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement, which proclaims Garvey as a prophet. It’s a shame so few people remember or even know about Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line, today. Before Martin and Malcolm ever made their marks, there was Marcus.

Lil Dee is one of the very few new rappers out there that seem to be tracing Marcus Garvey’s footsteps with pride and integrity. This is a real man that has something to say about the world and doesn’t just rehash the same youth and gang struggles that mainstream rappers continually brandish to their fans.



Lil Dee tells stories of struggles, injustice and real issues that not a lot of rappers out there would even attempt to address nowadays. He also does it in such a clever fashion that it is undeniable that this emcee understands the world in a much broader sense than your average rapper. I will admit Lil Dee is not the easiest artist to listen to at times, his voice and personality takes some warming up to if you haven’t listened to his music before, but once you do, it is just smooth sailing from there on because this man is one of the best things to come out of the underground rap movement in quite a while.

Over at the Rapmonster.com website we stumbled across “The Lions Den,” an album by Lil Dee, that hosts a collection of 39 whopping tracks. “Liberty Or Death” which kicks off the fireworks, has an opening verse that reads:

“we have the greatest lost of people thru human history
niggers dont know about kemetic school of mystery
many people done lost their nation hood
alot of damn people have been conquered and abused
yet our lost was so great man its hard to recover
everytime i turn around we fighting each other
we opressed you my brother and we both suffering
the white man is to blame that aint up for discussion…”

Making it clear from the outset that Lil Dee, lays it down straight and doesn’t any cut corners in his messages. He raps with wit and conviction that propels as the album goes on. His flow is awesome, and he can easily switch up at almost any time with no sign of slack.

Once again, Lil Dee really knows how to paint vivid pictures filled with social commentary and real positive messages despite the use of explicit language on the occasion; but there is a lot of substance on this album and his lyrics are so thought provoking that the cursing is simply just in context.

The thing that makes Lil Dee and the album so great is because this is what real hip hop is supposed to be about. Nowadays you hear rappers exclusively rapping about stuff like cars, women and drugs. Rap music has become quite stale recently, but it’s albums like this that are keeping it alive. The Lions Den sends positive messages as opposed to talking about the futile stuff mentioned earlier and goes way beyond the beats.

Lil Dee is one of those unique artists that is really able to talk to the people and send a message about society in his raps.
