Finally: Vaskular on the mix!!!

A couple of months ago I ended up at a great party in a private house in a residential hood of Santiago de Chile, where the improvised bar only sold vodka with chocolate milk (and ice) and piscola (pisco + coke + ice). We didn't know anything about the party but were quickly seduced by the banging beats and hit the sweaty and smoking hot dance floor in the patio under the stars. For the next 2-3 hours Dj Vaskular blew our minds with his top nodge mixing skills delivering the best blend I've heard in a looong time of hip hop, electro, cumbia, baile funk, house, etc... This guy is in my opinion Chile's best and most interesting Dj right now. So I hooked up with the man and now, finally, here's his first contribution to K!K! Raiiiiise the rooooof!!!

Still Bill




While most people that are interested in music and film nowadays keep talking about Ang Lee's Hollywodesque "Taking Woodstock", I'm much more excited about another film - a promising documentary about Bill Wither's life and astonishing contribution to popular music. Withers' history is interesting... After a successful decade as an artist and composer, responsible for major hit songs as "Ain't no sunshine", "Lean on me" and "Lovely day", Withers got tired of the music industry and retired and lived a "normal" life working 9 to 5 and taking care of his family. How a man with so much talent chose to retire at the top of his career will surely be answered in this documentary named after one of his albums "Still Bill". Don't miss it!
