A special treat for Italo and Electro music fans alike. Fakebeat's Mike Dextro has a long overdue sit-down with DJ Ulysses, an old friend, and New York dance music innovator since 1991. His NYC events Warm Up and Regressive Technologies are legendary, and his name is well known in dance music circles overseas after numerous releases and appearances in cities like Hong Kong, Berlin, and Paris. Ulysses has DJ'd alongside the likes of Arthur Baker, Mark Kamins, Alexander Robotnick, Miss Kitten and the Hacker, Ectomorph, Perspects, Adult, John Selway, DJ Unknown of Fisherspooner, Tommie Sunshine, I-F, and the Scissor Sisters. Dextro (aka Mikers from Rikers) pals around with Ulysses hitting on music old and new, his two labels, the state of New York music culture, and randomly enough Ulysses' personal opinion on topics such as trepenation and Paula Abdul music videos. Enjoy.
It was was an obvious choice for the staff here at Fakebeat to approach ever present Chicago DJ, Zebo, for an interview. One, because he has been working the Chicago scene for almost a decade now, and two, because he is a true believer in mixing styles and breaking down barriers for the love of music as a whole.
In 2007 Zebo seemed to finally get the recognition he deserved. He was booked to open up for a really impressive list of acts including: Kool Herc, Mixmaster Mike, Grandmaster Flash, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Spankrock, Klever, Craze, Riot In Belgium, Para One, Mr. Oizo, Surkin, Orgasmic (of TTC), Easy Star Allstars, Q-Bert, Flosstradamus, The Fluokids, Ayres, and more.
