SKOOZBOT

( plus 8 Records Mindshake )

Brian Connelly (a.k.a. Skoozbot), an Indiana native and Michigan
transplant, has long been interested in the interaction between humans
and technology. This interest has been met in his love of electronic
music, which is made by machines yet fueled by the soul.

As a DJ over the past decade, Brian has never been satisfied simply
blending two tracks together and has long sought to augment his mixing
by incorporating the limitless possibilities provided by technology.
Endless experimentation with both hardware and software has helped
bridge the gap, but as technology continues to grow, so does Brian's
curiosity for using it to open up new possibilities.

This blend of the human and the electronic is further explored in his
productions, where Brian aims to re-create instantaneous human
emotions through electronic sounds. Although these snapshots of our
consciousness can occur for just brief moments in our lives, they can
continue on and be further evolved through music.

Roman Flügel Live at Robert Johnson Mix includes Itzone's Azul Magico

Prolific DJ and producer Roman Flügel will mix the next edition of Live at Robert Johnson, the
Frankfurt nightclub's acclaimed mix series.

Flügel has been an active DJ and producer since the mid-'90s, and has amassed an impressive
body of work under a wide variety of monikers. In addition to Alter Ego, his famous duo with
Jörn Elling Wuttke, he's produced dozens of records under names like Acid Test, Eight Miles
High, Roman III, Roman IV and Soylent Green. As a Frankfurt native, Flügel has played at
Robert Johnson countless times over the past decade, and says the club helped shape his style
as a DJ and producer, especially on tracks like "Rocker" and "Geht's Noch?"

"To have the chance to play at this place for 11 years now is definitely one of the most
important things that has happened in my musical career," says Flügel. "I remember the very
early days when people in their 50's turned up and thought the Robert Johnson must be a
venue for Blues music lovers."

Live at Robert Johnson will be Flügel's first solo mix CD. It does a nice job of portraying
Flügel's knack for diverse DJ sets, mixing up flamboyant gems like Armando's "Don't Take It"
with stonefaced techno tunes like Ben Klock's "Before One and Itzone's Azul Magico." The CD also includes two of
Flugel's forthcoming tracks, "N.M.I.S.M.D." and "Brian Le Bon," both of which will be released
together this spring on an EP accompanying the mix.
