@ Jester records. Id hardly call it whining
more like years of frustrations.
Sentient is a close friend of mine, and prety much every bit my equal in style, skill, and and name recognition. Though im sure you can imagine my surprise when he got this last minute booking, despite my previous apprearance in Canada this year, or even more so my 4 years of sending emails, im's and other msgs asking about being booking inquieries, 4 years with out a single response
its frustrating
anyways all the best to Sentient, hope he kills it, and shows yall how we do it in the states

Hey man, like i said, i didn't mean to be rude, but i can remember you saying this same story last year. i agree, after 4 years it must be stressful to not get a response and i can understand your reaction. The best would be to make way to the festival and speak directly with them. Be apart of the evolution. Maybe that can give you an edge over the others in line to get booked.
good luck man !!

First of all, I'd like to say hello to Isratrance after ... oh, I think three years of not posting. haha! I've been lured back to reading Isratrance after a few posts that I heard about, and now thought I'd chime in on this one.
Secondly, I'd like to thank Yann and all the rest at Eclipse Festival for putting on one of the most important festivals in North America, again! I'm sure it will be amazing, I can't wait to experience it. I'd also like to thank them for booking me, it's going to be an honor to play there.
In response to the "why did Sentient get booked and not me?" questions... I met Yann last year at Burning Man and we played back to back, both of us enjoying the other's set immensely. We got in contact thru MySpace and MSN and chatted back and forth for a while. When I mentioned to him that I was going to fly to Quebec for the Eclipse Festival, we checked to see if I could play, but it didn't seem likely, and frankly, it wasn't important to me, what mattered was that I was gonna go party with him at the festival. When he contacted me to tell me that they had found me an opening, I was very pleasantly surprised, but very excited as well. I guess the point I'm making is that I didn't get booked because I emailed someone who I'd never met before, but because I had made a connection with another DJ through music, and then through friendship. Guaranteed, it's the best, and most fun way to get gigs.
Oh, and thanks, Paradigm, for your kind words. Always nice to hear them from a good friend like you. It was great to party with you again at Gemini, I miss you and Nicole very much. 
So with that being said, I can't wait to come rock it with all the Québécois and party freaks at Eclipse! It's going to be one hell of a blasting. 
p.s. if anyone wants to hear a more recent set than the one on the Vaporvent link (that was from a radio show about a year ago) go here:

Interview with Metalogic + Jamie Kidd
First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.
1.Please state your full names.
A: Frederik Hatsav and Jamie Kidd
2.How many years have you been working under the project name Metalogic ??
A: Metalogic was conceived in late 2000 by Frederik Hatsav. Michael Lawrence joined in 2002. In late 2006, Jamie Kidd joined the project, instigating an evolution in the Metalogic sound.
3. You have a very distinct style of electronica, how do you classify it??
A: We take influence from and try to incorporate our favorite elements of all electronic music, past and present.
4.What other artists inspired you to produce this specific sound ?
A: That list would go on for pages! Electronically speaking, Extrawelt, Tony Rohr, Surgeon, Richie Hawtin, Atom Heart, The Delta. For Fred, Alex Tolstey was his musical guru for years, influencing him since the beginning. Jamie brings influence and experience from a live music background – having performed and recorded as a bassist in various funk, jazz, and rock bands.
5. When you are not producing music what are you listening too?
A: Outside of electronic music – it’s impossible to list it all – lately, we have both been enjoying one of Mike Patton’s many projects, Peeping Tom.
6.What is your home studio?
A: Well … it has a huge board, a good collection of machines, and it can get hazy – this is no software studio.
7.In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??
A: A dj favorite has long been ‘Magnetic Influence’ off the debut Metalogic album released by Boshke Beats Records. Most recently, the ‘Atom Eater’ ep from ADDON, a New York based label, has received much support from dj’s we all love. Also check out Fred and Alex’s latest 12”, The Rockitmen - Premier ep has just been released on Japan’s Gemini Recordings, which includes incredible artwork by Inga Burina.
8. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.
A: Good labels of course!
9.What can we expect in the near future from Metalogic? Scheduled releases??
A: Many releases are forth coming, check myspace.com/metalogic for regular updates. (website coming soon)
10.If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?
A: Metalogic performed live for the first time in Montreal at “Don’t Try This at Home” by Noerg, so it will always be one of the most exciting places in the world to share our music. We would honestly love to perform anywhere our music would be appreciated for what it is.
11.Do you have any side projects besides Metalogic?
A: Frederik continues to collaborate with Alex Tolstey and Michael Lawrence in ‘The Rockitmen’. Jamie balances between production work with Frederik and a hectic dj’ing schedule.
12.With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?
A: One of the best experiences has definitely been the two of us working together the past 10 months. The Rockitmen project for Fred is more like a family.
13. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?
A: Yes. We are more than happy to be a part of this!
14.What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?
A: This will be a live performance of all original well known Metalogic material remixed and blended with improvised effects and overdubs. Our new, driving, minimal sound will be infused with deep psychedelicia, specially arranged for this event.
15. Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?
A: How could we leave such a beautiful landscape! We look forward to hearing what the other artists bring to this festival and how inspiring the culture will be for those 3 days.
Well Fred, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to Metalogic and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!

Interview with Protoculture
First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.
1. Please state your full name.
Nate Raubenheimer
2. How many years have you been working under the project name Protoculture ??
Since 2001, so about 6 years
3. Why did you choose the name Protoculture ?
It comes from a popular anime show called Robotech that I used to love as a kid (and still do by the way) Protoculture was an alien science, which eventually turns out to be human love and emotion.
4. How many albums have been released under this project name and on what labels?
I’ve done 2 studio albums, a dj compilation, and loads of singles for other compilations. The albums were released on Nano Records, but I’ve also done work for others such as Alchemy, White Label Republic, Gatecrasher, Mind Control, Turbo Trance, Tip, Exposure, Spiral Trax, BNE, and too many others to mention.
5. What was your first release and on what label?
That would be “Super Highway Samurai” on Spiral Trax in 2001
6. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.
I’m currently in the process of changing labels for the third studio album. I felt it would be good to have a change, and Im currently speaking with BNE, although we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
7. In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??
It’s a toss up between “New Directions” or “Avalon”. I think “new directions” was the track that really put me on the map though…
8. What can we expect in the near future from Protoculture? Scheduled releases??
I’m currently working on the third album, not sure when it will be done though. I’ve also almost completed work on the Atomic Culture album, which features Protoculture and Atomic Pulse. Besides that I’ve got some other interesting collaborations in the pipeline, including some work with Binary Finary which should be very interesting.
9. Who made the best remix for one of your tracks ?
I have’nt ever given out too many tracks for remixing, but I think Atomic Pulse’s remix for “more directions’ was killer, as well as Pop Stream’s Remix for “circadians”.
10. If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?
Its gotta be Japan, it’s the one place that Im always excited to visit. There’s such a wealth of interesting culture, cool people, amazing parties, and shops full of geek and tech toys.
11. Do you have any side projects besides Protoculture?
Yeah, Atomic Culture as mentioned before, as well as Sentrafuge, a progressive/electro/minimal/techno/house (whatever you want to call it) project which is currently released on Plastik Park.
12. With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?
I really enjoy working with Tamir from Atomic Pulse, we tend to see eye to eye on most stuff in the studio. I also enjoyed working with my good friend Rinkadink, but I think that’s due to the state of mind we were in at the time.
13. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?
Yes
14. What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?
My Live performance is usually between a hour or hour and a half. It’ll be featuring one or two of the new tunes for the new album, some other stuff which was recently been completed for compilation, a massive remix to binary finery’s “1999” and possibly one or two oldies thrown in for good measure.
15. Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?
I like to hang around if possible, usually I like to spend a bit of time at a party before my set. It all depends though, as due to a busy schedule, I’ve gotta be out of Canada on my way to Israel on the 30th.
16. What do you use to make music ?
Primarily a PC running Cubase SX 3, a bunch of plugins, with a Creamware Scope Fusion Platform. Additionally I’ve got some other hardware, including some synths from Waldorf, Novation, Freeform Analogue Technologies, Nord, and Roland, some outboard like fx and extra convertors, a Yamaha O2R mixer, Tc Powercore, and Genelec 8040 Monitors.
17. When you are not making music, what do you listen to ?
Pretty much anything. I love film soundtracks, and Im also quite big on electronica and other interesting yet more chilled out type stuff.
Well Protuculture, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to Protoculture and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!
