All of us over here at Slow Roast HQ have been brimming with excitement over a fresh new act who’ve recently joined the fam. We first ran into them hangin’ out in the smokey VIP of an old discotheque in Miami. It was tough to really make out what they were saying to be honest, with freestyle beats rattling and general after hours shenanigans at hand. Luckily we caught their names from some groupies as we stumbled out of the club, in time to catch the sunrise on South Beach I might add!

Señor Stereo is: Joe Masurka (aka Joe Maz), Danny Gomez (aka Danny Daze), Matt Masurka (aka Gigamesh) and there is something special about these guys. They possess a unique kinda cool and charisma that sparkles like a disco ball, filling the room with energy and excitement, …and the uncontrollable urge to dance yo’ ass off!

Without hesitation, we organized a meeting. Next thing you know, we were clinking champagne glasses and plotting out plans for their first Slow Roast release. 5 tracks that reach back to the golden era of house and techno, throw in a nice serving of sexy disco and funk, and top it off with some addicting vocal hooks, and you have a (shaken) musical cocktail you’ll be sippin’ on all summer long.

With the world-wide release of Señor Stereo’s debut “Unintentional EP” approaching fast (June 29, 2010), we figured it was about time we gave you all little bit of background on these guys, and a taste of what they’ve been cooking up in the studio, and this time, we chose a little more laid-back setting to have a chat!

Oh, they were also nice enough to give us some music! Don’t forget to grab it on the way out!

Slow Roast Records: First off tell us who you guys are and where you guys are livin’ these days.
Joe: I finally decided to move to Miami where Daze lives from Minneapolis after thinking about it for 3 years. My brother Matt has also decided to join us in Miami this coming September so we really can all be in the same studio working for the same ideas. This is going to be a big step forward.

SRR: People wanna know about the name, Why did u guys choose the name Señor Stereo? Who is Señor Stereo or what does it mean?
Daze: This name was chosen while Joe and I were were on a way to a gig. Took about 30 seconds to think of because we already had an idea of what we were going for. Señor Stereo is more of the lifestyle we would portray if we were him. “Señor Stereo” is a gentleman, stylish, has a bachelor pad in Manhattan with mahogany wooden floors and has knowlege of the finer things in life.

SRR: Most of us got a chance to check your Hogcast #3 Mix, there was quite an eclectic tracklisting! The list includes some obscurities from the Italo disco and techno days. Care to shed a little light on some of your musical backgrounds?
Matt: Yeah, I think we all have the attitude that ‘good music is good music’.  Speaking for myself, I rarely listen to the same genre for a long time so I think that reflects when DJing.  I grew up being really into bands like Nirvana and Radiohead and was later introduced to electronic music through acts like Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, the Chemical Brothers and Mr. Oizo.  It wasn’t until I started taking DJing & production seriously that I got into the more ‘obscure’ history of disco & techno.

Daze: I grew up listening to Old School Electro (Cybotron, Afrika Bambaataa, Newcleus ect …) then little by little got into Techno where I started djing at the Full Moon raves when I was 13. There was a quote that said “If Pac Man affected us as kids, we’d all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to repetitive music”. Except for the pills part, that quote was meant for me. The fact we grew up in different areas listening to multiple genres gives us the sound we have going.

Joe: I’m going to be straight up, I was completely in love with west coast hip hop and punk rock growing up. My mom rocked the Led Zeppelin and Carly Simon and dad was into country.  My brother actually turned me on to electronic music in about 96 with Daft Punk. From there we were both really into Fatboy Slim, Crystal Method, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers.  I must have listed to Crystal Method – Vegas about 82792876387927343284 times in my car.  I still like hip hop, but only the old school stuff for the most part.

SRR: Are any of you classically trained musicians? How has this influenced your music?
Joe: I played the piano and trumpet really well up until the time I decided being the NBA was my new purpose in life. Turns out I was 6′3″ with a weak ass vertical.  I could dunk but I really had to work at it.  I fell into djing and producing in 2002. I can still play the keys but not anywhere near what I used to do.

Daze: If it wasn’t for MIDI, I’d be a working in a bowling alley or somehting. No training whatever here.

Matt: Yeah I have a bachelor in music.  It helps but the stuff I learned in school are skills anyone with a good ear could pick up in a few months (basic music theory).

SRR: We know you guys spend a lot of time in the studio, what are some of your favorite pieces of gear you use?
Daze: We would love to say we’re these huge analog freaks but unfortunately an ARP 2600 cost a bit too much money and isn’t very practical. Although we do have analog gear some of my favorites pieces in the studio are the Roland JP-8080 and the VF-11 vocoder. We’ve got one virtual synth we use alot which ryhmes with “Moe.Me.Mex” but we’re keeping that one on lock.

Matt: My favorite gear pieces are my ears and coffee mug.

SRR: What can we expect when Señor Stereo goes on tour?
Matt: Time will tell! We’ll likely have to distinguish between live sets and DJ sets. Eventually the live sets will include a drummer and possibly other musicians but it will mostly depend on where we get booked and what works best for each gig.

Daze: Groupies

Joe: World Domination, Polar Ice Caps Melting.

SRR: Haha, great answers! Can you tell us about any other projects you guys have been involved in?
Daze: We each have our own taste when it comes to music. On the solo tip, I tend to produce techno/house/sleeper music

Matt: Yeah we do a pretty big variety of projects.  I produce bands/solo artists and we all do occasional pop remixes (gotta pay the bills!).

SRR: What plans do you guys have for the future?
Daze: Like Matt said above, time will tell. For now we’re hitting the studio and producing music we feel is true to who we are. Expect different styles, Miami Bass, Techno, Italo Disco, all kind of stuff just blended together made for people to dance. Eventually we’d like to collab with legendary artist ……. Giorgio Moroder send me a text if you see this.

SRR: Give us a little background on these two tracks we are going to share with our readers. (Hot Damn! and Babe We’re Gonna Love Tonight)
Matt: Babe We’re Gonna Love Tonight is a cover of the Lime classic. I think it was Danny’s idea to cover the song and I had my friends from the band Lookbook provide guest vocals. Hot Damn was definitely one of those things that came out pretty organically. We all contributed ideas and over the course of a few days in Danny’s studio it was done.  We basically just wanted to make a straight forward, happy party song that blended some different styles.

Thanks guys for meetin’ up for a little Q and A for us! Don’t forget to grab their debut EP everywhere that carries digital releases June 29th! We can all catch Señor Stereo LIVE in select cities TBA on the multi-city Slow Roast Tour this summer. Keep checkin’ the calendar for dates.

GONNA KEEP THIS SHORT AND SWEET!!!

let’s start at the end of 2001…

KLEVER & CRAZE wanted to put out a scratch CD, showing the world their production skills and some cutt’s!  At the time, there weren’t really many scratch CDs out. Of course, there were countless kids cutting over beats and putting them out… but that’s all they were, practice tapes.

What WE wanted to do is produce an adventure for the listener.

We where mainly influenced by two tapes: one Q-Bert had made back in 94′ called Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik and, around the end of 2000,  there was this dude from LA, who went by ALIAS,  that put out another pretty inspirational tape.

I went down and stayed with Craze, in Miami, for about a week’s time.  We started the project on his ADAT and got about 20 Mins worth done before I had to go! Right around the time I left, he upgraded to Logic.  A couple months passed before I ended back up at Craze’s.  This time, the work flow was a lot better because of the tracking format.  It took us a while to complete cuz of our touring schedules, but at the end of 2002 we finally finished the tape…

Enjoy!

Obviously we are all music fanatics over here at the Slow Roast camp, that goes without saying! However, what may surprise some of you, is exactly how diverse our musical tastes are. Some of you know the diversity of our backgrounds, for those of you who are new, well… you’ll get used to it (and learn to love it)! Periodically, we’ll be posting up on the Hog Blog when something interesting catches our ear, which hopefully will be quite often. Regardless, one thing you’ll notice right away is that we are all over the place in terms of what we like. Sometimes you’ll agree, sometimes you’ll disagree I’m sure. Either way, we hope to turn you on to new stuff, and as always, if there’s someone we should know about, send us emails in the about section of the site (or leave it in the comments, we read those too!)

In this case, we’re thinking you’ll all agree with us, Yelawolf is the future. Craze put me onto him a while back, and ever since I’ve been listenin’ to his latest mixtape, “Trunk Muzik” on repeat. I’ve also made it my mission to spread knowledge of him to everyone I meet. I won’t get to wordy on this one, but I’ll just give you a few fun facts about the guy. He’s from Alabama, he loves chevys, he’s got a really unique style, amazing flow and wordplay, plus his beats are hard as hell. It’s hard for anyone regardless of what style of hip-hop you’re into, to deny the talent this dude possesses. Anyway, without any further ado, here’s a video and a link to his latest mixtape. Oh did we mention that Yelawolf will be rockin’ with Craze at Coachella? We didn’t? Well we just did! Let us know what you think! “Pop the Trunk” is my personal anthem by the way and has found itself into my daily vocabulary.
