STEREOLAB
FAVORITE DJ
JEROME SYDENHAM
PLEASURE
FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE
JAMES BROWN
This band can really do nothing wrong.
Stereolab have been called "one of the
most influential alternative bands
EVER"and one of "the most innovative
British bands" and still 16 albums/
compilations later, almost no one in the
general public knows who they are.
If you were going to marry someone
because of their talent, this man should be
at the top of your list
Born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria, he was
schooled in his teens in England before
migrating to New York City in the early
80's to further his music interests with his
family there. He is now based in Berlin,
Germany running a stable of record labels
including Ibadan Records as well as
actively touring as a DJ and producing
music.
Jerome Sydenham landed his first DJ
residency at the legendary New York hot
spot Nell's in 1987, which featured cuttingedge DJs such as Miss Kier from DeeeLite. http://www.jeromesydenham.com/
(1933 – 2006)
He was called THE HARDEST WORKING MAN
IN SHOW BUSINESS and I think it would
difficult to take this title from him. One of
the founding fathers of funk music and a
major figure of 20th-century popular
music and dance, he is often referred to as
"THE GODFATHER OF SOUL". In a career that
spanned six decades, Brown profoundly
influenced the development of many
different musical genres. .
Brown was honored by many institutions
including inductions into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of
Fame. Brown is ranked seventh on
the music magazine Rolling Stone's list of
its 100 greatest artists of all time.
Stereolab's music combines a droning rock
sound with lounge instrumentals, overlaid
with sing-song female vocals and pop
melodies. Their records are heavily
influenced by the motorik technique of
1970s krautrock groups such
as Neu! and Faust. The band is currently
on indefinate hiatus. www.stereolab.co.uk
