KJ SAWKA 2008 FALL/WINTER DATES AVAILABLE
KJ SAWKA (Cyber Groove/Wax [ wka.com ] - Sea/NYC) Killing it over this summer hitting all points of the globe KJ Sawka is not done touring yet and the momentum has just increased and is ready to rock your town! This summer was also a summer for releases under KJ's belt so be on the look out for those! //Videos [ youtube.com ] //Piece of Press KJ SAWKA - GIVE THIS CYBORG SOME STICKS by Katie Sauro, Seattle Sound Imagine youâre at a loft party. Hour after hour, throbbing jungle beats batter you from all sides, and rapid drum palpitations assail you with suffocating fervor. You look up and, with nary a deejay or drum machine in sight, realize that all that noise pours forth from one man â a solitary drummer named KJ Sawka, pounding away almost as quickly and powerfully as human nature allows. Using only a half-acoustic, half-electronic drum set and a laptop pre-programmed with keyboard and bass lines, drum nâ bass guru KJ Sawka produces dynamically enthralling electronica with an all-but-unmatched aggression. Sawkaâs debut LP, *Synchronized Decompression (released last year on local imprint Wax Orchard) catalogues this explosive energy, but the albumâs 13 tracks can hardly contain it. As Sawka himself explains, his immutable force derives from a committed exploit of live drums. âEven when a person has a live keyboard there, live drums just really take it to that next level of intensity,â Sawka says of his inimitable style. Adding to the organic vigor of the acoustic drums, Sawka flaunts the lightning speed and breakneck chops that have shaken the local electronica community to its core. Garnering praise from, and even playing sets with, Seattle musicians as diverse as Reggie Watts and Bill Frisell, Sawkaâs rapidly expanding fan base swells with every next performance. âFor one thing, [people] like to see the live performance, and itâs definitely something unique,â he says of his burgeoning success. âThis drum nâ bass is really different from any of the drum nâ bass that you go out and hear in the clubs. It seems like they definitely accept that difference, and they like the originality of it.â Fans also appreciate the stamina demanded by Sawkaâs sets, which can last anywhere from a two-hour club show to a six-hour loft party to a 12-hour festival performance. Songs bleed into one another, pooling into one extremely long dance groove. âThatâs what really trips people out,â says Sawka of his festival performances. âI mean, my head just starts going to a crazy place, and itâs pretty intense when that happens. Itâs like running a marathon, kind of, but a musical marathon.â Booking Contact: Scott McCusker Cyber Groove Productions/Artist Management CG Printing and Design [ www.CyberGrooveProd.com ] Scott@CyberGrooveProd.com CyberGroove2k < AIM |
