Roni Size and Reprazent bring back their beat
Los Angeles Times
Nowadays you can buy equipment and switch it on and press start and there you go. I don’t want to be a part of that generation. “As an artist who pioneered electronic dance music Size admits that it’s ironic to hear him dismissing technology. But then you have to understand one thing about Size: He’s the kind of musician who never takes the easy road. Size began making tracks in his home studio at age 16 after getting kicked out of school. He and his partner Krust mixed old reggae and jazz records with jungle beats taking breakbeat culture to new levels of artistry. Size formed Reprazent to play those cuts live a move that some said was impossible.

Four years in electronic music festival Signal recalibrates
The Independent Weekly
The at-large interest is lighter. The sponsorship opportunities are tighter. Signal Chapel Hill’s electronic music festival bolted out of the gate with ambition in its first year. Now in its fourth one of its chief architects Uzoma Nwosu says the organizers continue to shape the festival from experience and this year carve a bit of it away due to the dwindling economy’s effects on the music industry. “We’re doing a few less events compared to last year monitoring our expenses and enforcing cost ceilings” says Nwosu. “We’re not a huge festival as is so we were already watching our finances before the economic troubles. We’ve done everything to cut corners and keep door prices reasonable.
