Uber Lingua presents
NOW A FREE EVENT 'Hackney Globe Trotter' Russ Jones returns to Australia for an east-coast 'global beats' jaunt in Feb... rocking venues in five cities on his way to his main gig at Womadelaide next month... In each location, he plays alongside the local Uber Lingua crew. Russ is behind some of London's most successful clubs including 'Around the World in 80 Ways', 'London Calling' and 'No Room for Squares' in the mid 90's, and was Artistic Director of legendary jazz venue 'Blue Note'. Guest deejays included luminaries Gilles Peterson, James Lavelle, Fabio, LTJ Bukem & Norman Jay amongst udders. Jones also played a vital role in setting up the celebrated Brazilian record label 'Far Out Recordings'. In the 21st century, Russ has become one of the world's leading 'global beats' DJs. From his seminal club night 'Future World Funk' working alongside regular DJ partner Cliffy, he has gone on to compile over 13 compilation CDs including the two globally renowned volumes of 'Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers', and now follows up with 'Arriba La Cumbia: The new sounds of cumbia from around the world'. Always championing new music Russ also had a hand in signing 'Panjabi MC' for his world-wide hit single 'Mundian To Bach Ke' which lead to the bhangra phenomenon crossing over from the UK Asian underground to many a dance-floor.

ALSO PLAYING
Versatility may have a wider mean when we talk about Bruno LT's activities
with brazilian music and audio techniques. His full dedication led him
to work with great names of the Brazilian Popular Music. Extremely sensible
to musicality, the DJ and Producer applies the large experience acquired
on his own projects involving new talents of the Brazilian alternative
music. After having worked for a few years at a great studio in Rio, he
had the chance to produce and release some of his tracks and remixes. Soon,
LT became the resident DJ of the main electronic parties, making the first
experiments of the pioneer Carioca_s Live P.A's. Projects such as the Dub
Mentals band incorporated his authenticity in which he develops a set with
keyboards, pick-ups, samplers and effects..
Hezekiah (ex-London) Born in the holy land, Hezekiah made his way to Melbourne via
South Africa and Sydney in the early 80's. After many drunken nights spent
pissing off ra-ra crowds in the western NSW town of Bathurst for refusing
to play Cold Chisel and the Eagles, Hezekiah was headhunted by talent scouts
from Moby Disk. Here he earned his stripes by skilfully drooping obscure
hip-hop/electronic tracks in-between Nut bush City Limits and Love Shack
at important events such as weddings and bar-mitzvahs. Hezikiah plays an
vast array of dub, hip-hop and electronic Hebrew tracks from across the
world as well as multi-lingual tracks from the Middle East, France and
South East Asia.
With cultural diversity his primary passion, Australian DJ/producer 'bP' (Brendan Palmer) has been representing the musically 'not so represented' for nearing two decades. He has wandered the world gathering sounds and has performed in places as diverse as Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, London, Tijuana, Mexico city and Helsinki to name a few... In 2004 he launched Uber Lingua and his sonic activity has grown exponentially playing literally hundreds of gigs and promoting culturally charged music in most capital cities of Australia. bP's sets traverse language, culture, genre, history and social scenes; deliberately defiant of mainstream music fashions, he presents an intersection of underground and outernational sounds that capture his imagination. Roots to Futurism, East to West, Minimal to Maximal are all sonic stops on bP's translingual express. Brendan additionally works as a producer at the legendary Melbourne radio station Triple R during the day and presents the weekly 'Dialectic' radio program on the web and Tasmania's Edge Radio.
