ESL Musics URSULA 1000 is the alter ego of Brooklyn, New York based producer/DJ/multi-instrumentalist
Alex Gimeno. His albums and mix sessions have taken on a broad scope of
retro tinged spy grooves, bumping latin disco funk, hints of post punk,
electro, go go, sleazy glam rock...and he never stops evolving.
You can hear it in his remixes for the likes of Quincy Jones, Felix Da
Housecat, The Faint, Fort Knox Five to a slew of television remodels for
themes to Sesame Street, The Powerpuff Girls, The Incredibles and Yo
Gabba Gabba. Scenes and promos for Sex And The City, Greys Anatomy and
How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family popped even more with a helping
of a little Ursula as have campaigns for AT&T, Samsung, Adidas and
Grand Marnier.
His collaborations with Dr.Luke, Shag, Cristina,
Los Amigos Invisibles, Misty Roses, Federico Aubele to name a few
brought forth sheer magic on the four albums, The Now Sound of Ursula
1000, Kinda Kinky, Here Comes Tomorrow and Mystics. All Systems Are Go
Go and Ursadelica showed the world his dj skills and ear for the best in
hip shaking groovers. Undressed had it all re-imagined by electronics
finest like Deekline, Ladytron, Product.01, Malente and more.
You can find him traveling the world dj-ing at places like Fabric, The
Big Chill Festival, Shambhala or even at his hometown funspots like
Trophy Bar and The Commodore. For a more obscure selection of songs that
make him tick, check out his radio show, Guilty Pleasures on
BrooklynRadio.com.
Ursula has just recently set his time
machine controls towards primitive garage punk for his new E.P., FUZZ,
featuring the inimitable Fred Schneider from The B-52s on the opening
song, "Hey You!".
Drenched in snarling fuzz guitars, savage
drums and spooky organs, this new collection of tracks unleashes his
technicolor take on this sound.....and is a tempting taster for the next
new album adventure...MONDO BEYONDO! (where our hero gets back in touch
with his roots but channeling it through a new set of kaleidoscopic
eyes) http://soundcloud.com/ursula1000
"Mundo Beyondo" Austin Album Release! Ursula's new album out August 8th on ESL Music.

Night Fever! Vol XVII : J Boogie Album Release Party!
featuring
*J-Boogie(Om Records/SF CA) The man, the myth, the Kangol. Known for
his signature choice of headgear as well as a prolific career which has
spanned two decades, San Francisco DJ legend J Boogie is back with
Undercover, his fourth album with his live band, J Boogie’s Dubtronic
Science. A decade after the first Dubtronic Science album,
which fused electronic music with live band sound to create a
genre-blending model, the musical landscape has become cluttered with
more sub- and microgenres than you can shake a stick at. Luckily, J
Boogie’s background as a radio and club DJ in the eclectic SF music
scene has afforded him the ability “to roll with any situation and rock
it,” he says. Rather than concentrate on a particular style, J
Boogie’s strength has always been his adaptability; he’s created and
refined a sound which can travel from the Bay Area to Bollywood to East
London to Kingston to Chicago to Mexico City, and back. Live, the
Dubtronic sound takes on added value, becoming a DJ set enhanced by
real musicians. Undercover marks a shift in musical methodology
for the veteran producer and club jock. “I started sampling less and
started recording live instruments more, and treating the live
instruments as samples,” he says. “That was a huge move for me. 90% of
my material before then was sample-based.” http://www.soundcloud.com/jboogiedubtronic
"Undercover" Austin Album Release! Boogie's 4th album due out October 4th on Om Records.
Peep the dope video for the 1st single, Undercover featuring Chrys-Anthony! This New wave Nu Disco Soul sounds like a lost Cee-Lo Green jam session.
