A new series is coming to you this week: every Saturday afternoon beginning at CET 5pm we will be paving the path leading to O.Z.O.R.A. 2014 by introducing one of the performers from the brand-new lineups. The show will reflect the structure of our well-known ‘Conversation Series’, including not only a talk with the artists, but also a warmup mix for the summer experience ahead made exclusively for the radio. Our first guest is VLASTUR (a.k.a. Vlastur Dub) who will be featuring Dark Elf with Irina Mikhailova on the Ozorian Chill Out Stage, bringing us a truly magical live performance. Tune in on 19th April 2014 Saturday 5pm CET on the Chill channel to get a taste of this amazing electro-dub phenomenon coming your way this summer. Reruns: 20 Sunday 11am and 21 Monday 5am and 11am. Stay tuned!
Vlastur started his journey into music as a Bass player. Back in the mid-80's, he was a founding member of the Cohash Funk, an underground funky Athenian group. In 1998 alongside Frequency Freak, fellow Cohash funk guitarist and Spiris, a dubby drummer, formed "Apeuthias Syndesi" now known as Direct Connection, a dub experimental laboratory. They released "Dub Infection" in 2007. Even though he started as a Bassist in Direct Connection, he was the main FX Sound Engineer of the band.
In the meanwhile he was also working as a session musician with various artists and bands. In 2004 he teamed up with Palyrria an ethnic-electronica band and in 2005 recorded "Methexy" with them and has played in many of their gigs.
The (InterAxion Dub) project is the first fully length work of Vlastur. Influenced by all his beloved sounds from Dub to Dubstep trough Psy, Ambient, Drum n' Bass and Traditional Mediterranean sounds !
Vlastur is the live project of him. The active members right now are: Dark Elf (Synth/Machines) + Tolis aka DreamMadeTeller on percussions and vox, also Akbar on percussions, Wee (Guitar) + G.Verix as a sound engineer, while other have been participating the previous years, like Frequency Freak (Guitar/Synths), Spyro K. (Drums), Elena (Vocals), Pan Kaperneka (Flute) and Dinos Z. on the sound consoles.
Vlastur believes that the sound evolves constantly while the vibe remains the same, from Rock n' Roll to Punk and from Dub to Psy.
