OH! I RUN A BLOG... JUST FORGOT 'BOUT IT

hey hey!
Sorry. I really forgot about this blog... There are many reasons for that. First of all I have that official website now. The adress is ebolaape.com. All the recent stuff I upload there. There is even a puzzle game that you need to solve to get in. Don't worry, it's easy even for me.

Next reason for neglecting this space is that a lot was happening recently in my life. I was touring  - Germany, London, South Africa... I spent  a few weeks in Cape Town, where I met Boolz, vGrrr, Slewdada, Dookoom and many many more interesting people. I finished my album there, and on 1st of february it's gonna be released under Astral Ritual - the new international label based mainly in London and Gdańsk, with connections in Cape Town and South Florida.

My album is being pressed in France on limited edition of vinyl (300 copies). The cover art will be hand crafted (the screen printing technology) by me and my friend Maciek Salamon. The cover illustration was designed by Bartosz Polak, Gdansk based graphic artist. The title of the album is Dance In Haze, and it has been mastered by Mateusz Kraszewski from Astral Ritual. It will be also possible to buy a digital copy of it on Amazon, Itunes, Bandcamp, and all the other electronic music stores.
So again, here are the links that you can follow :

Thanks for supporting me and have a good time listening to my new music!

LIVE IN THE YARD

Ay my friends!!!
Tomorrow evening we play with Hertzshmertz at CSW Laznia. That's contemporary art gallery at very old district of Gdansk - Dolne Miasto (downtown). They have a small & pretty yard there with a tree and a view on a damn old houses with gun bullet holes on the walls! Girl I tell you if you wanna shoot a movie 'bout world war II or some alien shit S-F movie tellin' of nuclear war bursting at that hazy galaxy 1000000 light years from this Earth - that's a place you need to bring a freekin' camera and a filmcrew (or better guards). The actors are already there! And boy, that's a face of Poland that slowly disappears. So if you're around - come over! Also, sick visuals by Hertzshmertz and some fresh ape beats included! Should be slightly above 20^C. And it's still sunny at 8pm in Gdansk (it's sunny untill 9pm, but only during summer. Otherwise it's already dark at 4pm. Weird hah? Gonna be even weirder tomorrow. Trust or touch this.)

The Laznia gallery itself usually shows very interesting stuff by the way.

APE DELIRIUM TREMENS

Hey,
tomorrow I play live + fire off my DJ set at Cafe Absinthe, the small club famous for falling asleep as the last one in Gdansk. It's moonfuckin' sunny when the last apes leave the dance floor!
It's named after a famous alcohol "absinthe" - very strong and quite dangerous in bigger amounts for you can get some halucinations even if you get lucky enough. Like you could see two apes instead of one! Well, that will be really possible this time, as I'm bringing to the show a special guest! I've just set free another ape from Oliwa ZOO! And this guy has a special VJ skills and gonna bang tight visuals on da wall! 
trap + absinthe = ?

Afterparty: DJ Koszlaga.

TROPICAL POLAND

Yo! 
South of Poland is very hot in the summer (at the moment it's 36^C in Wrocław city)! Perfect weather for a tropical swag like me. So I just packed my sun glasses, put my laptop to the fridge for two hours, packed my samplers to a trecking bag and jumped on a train to Wrocław. Tomorrow at 9 pm I play at Nowobrzmienia Festival, sharing stage with Ikonika, Young Montana? and Kuedo. I will also loop a viusals prepared by multimedial artist from Gdańsk - Marta Grabicka. I will present a few new songs  too. Excited and happy! Sunshine glitters on the train's windows, going with my beats to the south!
Bang!

APE AT THE BEACH

Yeez! yesterday Hertzshmertz was DJ-ing for the first time and that was simply awsome! great selection & mix... another thing is that a venue known as Wydział Remontowy represents the best level of sound and stage setup (lights,fog,screen,monitors,soundcheck,acoustic) in Gdańsk right now. Hey, check that shit and take example... I'm impressed. And again: HERTZSHMERTZ - you're next level! Thanks for coming people, that was a gangsta' party! We finished around 4am, drunk & happy comin' back homes with early train...
And today I play my live set at the beach festival called Fląder (it's a polish name for a Baltic fish - predator. You can eat it, but it swims better than it tastes). I start at 7pm with a few new songs coming with my future album. 



me did it. From behind.

HYDROACTIVE CITY

Yo! Another live set in Gdansk!
This time I plan a very experimental setup - a few external analog effects (delays, tape space echo, and two multieffects). A lot of manipulation with the tracks will be happenin'... If it will go well, I would again change the approach to the live situations, and might need a bigger bag for a road! ;)

Also Hertzshmertz prepared a very special 'hydroactive' visuals for this show! I'm also curious!

C U there! <3

METROPOLITAN APE

Big city is a conrete jungle in so many ways. Old true known even to these who have never been to jungle. I miss my home a lot, I dream of runing in the rain forest, talking to my fellows 'bout all that stuff you would never care about, and most of all - chilling in the sun! But living here, in the city is also interesting. I like that dark electronic music, heavy synths, deep drums and screwed up vocals! I've met many good people doing interesting stuff and got used to that affection of humanity to crazy rush! It's so funny to watch how you slow down after a good fat spliff ;) Yeah, people are strange but also cool, and the coolest thing that humanity has created is the Popculture. I just damn-ape love it, I wanna marry it and have sex with it! 

So yeah, we gonna play with Hertzshmertz at one day festival called "Metropolia Jest Okey" [Metropoly is OK] in Gdynia / Poland. Our live set will be just before the most famous polish punk rock band BRYGADA KRYZYS! It's a huge legend of polish underground scene... True splendor for ∑B❍L▲ ▲P∑ indeed!
