HAEZER Releases His MONKEY EP

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:05:00 +0200

On the 30th of January, HAEZER released his much anticipated MONKEY EP through SHAX TRAX. His 5th official release, Monkey features two original tracks - Monkey and Gangsta ft. Circe - and four remixes of Monkey by Doc Trashz, Pelussje, You Killing Me and Andy's ILL.

"This is a fun track, perfect for peak time DJ sets that's driven by rhythm instead of melody, with a cheeky playful undertone."

Monkey was made by HAEZER in three days, and then he spent around a year making small changes, getting remixes for it and finding the right label to release it through. Whilst playing around with sounds and melodies, unexplainable inspiration came to him and the track morphed into a circusy vibe and the visuals of monkeys performing at a carnival came to mind. He decided to call it Monkey, and then did the vocals for the track.

“It's a bit different from my other tracks, in the sense that it's quite simple. The signature is the wobbles and the heavy distorted buildups. It's a bit more conceptual.”

Monkey is currently available on BEATPORT, and will soon also be available on most digital outlets.

On the 31st of January, after one day only, the Monkey EP was already at number 16 of the Top 100 Electro House Releases on the Beatport Chart!

HAEZER was recently chosen as the number 4 best DJ in South Africa by DJ MAG.

HAEZER just returned from Thailand where he was invited by Smirnoff Thailand to headline their CNX event in Chiang Mai. He is also back in South Afriica after a two month tour of Europe in November and December 2011. He will be going to Australia in February, will be headlining the Cape Town RAMFEST electro stage after Netsky, is due to play USA and UK in May and June, will once again be performing at Beatpatrol festival in Austria in July as well as Emmaboden festival in Sweden.

He is currently working on a remix for Make The Girl Dance due for release on ULTRA Records, and will then be in studio for the next two/three months working on his new 6 track EP.

Cyberpunkers - New EP and EPIC World Tour 2012!

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:30:00 +0200

Cyberpunkers will kick off their EPIC Worldtour 2012 in Europe, then destroying dancefloors in Southamerica, Northamerica, Asia, Australia. On top of that, they plan an album, split into a 3-EP Series, which will be released during 2012.

The Cyberpunkers want to share with you "EPIC" - a the Worldtour which starts with part 1 of the EPIC EP, coming out in February on Freakz Me Out! Three new tracks will be featured - including the official Epic Worldtour-Hymne.

Cyberpunkers announce more plans for 2012...

Music videos being produced over the coming year (be part of it, join the live shows!), new merch stuff, new visuals, new live performances, and of course - a ten month tour around teh world!

EPIC LIVE: See Cyberpunkers live and instantly you freaks will feel the passion for the Cyberpunk culture: electronic music, fashion, design, visual, performance and photography. See the Cyberpunkers world in modern clubbing through continents and several performances. With their sounds, appearing with masks, their true identity is hidden - two consoles at once and powered by several audio machines. Cyberpunkers will leave their loyal, insane and demonic fans stunned by their ability to bring all to the dance floor for a live - massacre - experience.

Cyberpunkers shared the stage of the biggest electronic European festivals with worldwide stars. Despite having such a tight schedule, they were able to produce a lot of important remixes and singles.

EPIC EP Coming in February!

The Italian wreckage crew is finally back to blast away all Freakz Me Out fanatics. It has been a long time since the mask wearing tag team duo from south of the border has spoiled their loyal, insane and demonic fans with ear deafening club tunes. But wait, this time around the Cyberpunkers did not include earplugs with their latest output. Why? Well let ́s put it this way, these gifted maniacs expose a whole new side to their already vast repertoire. Epic is a bold and big musical step into the future. Not that these fresh tunes don ́t rock, they are simply a tad bit slower and melodious. But the profound anger and deep frustration of previous releases is still as vivid as day one. Musically this translates into stomping Moompunk beats, filtered harmonies and sinister samples. All these elements are jammed together with the typical Cyberpunkers sound, creating a new and exciting hybrid party monster. This minor adjustment is the chore of all three tracks: Epic, Are U Ready and Dungeon. With the new year just about to start, this first EP might already be a guide into a brighter future for these two guys.

HAEZER - YASI - Free Download!

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 10:00:00 +0200

"Cyclone Yasi, a storm that media outlets referred to as ‘the state's worst cyclone in history’, hit Australia at the same time as HAEZER!

While on tour down-under earlier this year, HAEZER wrote the track and named this ferocious banger after the brutal storm that inspired it.

On the 1st of OCTOBER 2011 HAEZER released YASI - for FREE DOWNLOAD! A gift to all his fans for their loyalty and their dedication to shredding the dance-floors apart as his shows and making it easy for him to love what he does.

The EP features not only the title track YASI, but also a super fierce bonus track called Joey Bloom!

“YASI is the first track I produced while being on a tour, although I finished it only much later in the studio back home. I also think this track is a very good indication of where my sound is going and has made me excited to collaborate again."

HAEZER decided to give the EP away for free due to having a number of recent paid for releases - it was time to give the fans what they deserve.

YASI also features Circe who has previously collaborated with HAEZER on tracks like ‘Who the fuck is HAEZER?’, 'Here Come The Punks' and 'Dominator'. Her vocals give the tracks a unique character, her cheeky feminine style works in perfect symbiosis to the hard trash sound synonymous with HAEZER.

YASI is HAEZER’s first EP release since ‘It’s Not Our Fault’ (Mahtrasher Records, May 2011) and he is now currently working on his next EP - ‘Monkey’ which is set for release later this year on CRUX Records as well as preparing for his European tour, coming up this November.
