    The Hague's electro-disco master Mr Pauli returns this coming November 1st to Lunar Disko. On both occasions Mr Pauli has played down at Lunar Disko, the Clone and Viewlexx supremo has always blew us away with his live show, and you can expect more of the same from him on his third visit to Lunar Disko!

    Mr. Pauli Biog. :

    Growing up in the 80's in The Hague saw Mr Pauli aka Ingmar Pauli grow a passion for the Italo disco sound. It is probably rammed in his subconciousness forever due to the constant radio playtime that Italo-Disco got back in the 80's in The Hague.

    After learning how to mix, Pauli soon turned his attention towards producing music. It was soon after Dj Overdose bought his first SP-12 that it really emerged to Mr Pauli that music production was all he wanted to do. Encouraged by the very fast producing and releasing of 12"s by Roland Klinkenberg (whom he shared a house with at that time) and because he finally managed to actually finish some songs, and not just fiddle along for days and months with beats and a Roland Juno 106 that by that time had added to his set up.

    It was in 1996 that Ingmar Pauli released his first record. After three follow ups, he started working with Dj Overdose again. In 1998 they crowned themselves NOVAMEN, and in 1999 debuted on I-f's Murdercapital records. They last released there fifth EP in 2006 on Viewlexx and with the CBS superhit ' Lies ' released on Viewlexx recently, they are very much still rocking the electro planet!

    In 1999 Pauli also met a producer called Geoffrey T, who seemed to share his love for 80's drummachine-funk from the likes of Zapp, Prince, and Cameo etc. They formed a project called Bumper and have bumpy-bassline-vocodered themselves through life ever since. They debuted on the Californian label MDEX in 2004, and are still dropping jams with recent remixes from the Pigna crew of Marco Passarani, Francisco, and Raiders of the Lost Arp.

    Around 2002 original Miami bass bending Dj Technician, a friend for close to 20 years, decided to share their passion for Italo with the world, they formed the Hague Cocadisco project Matzo & Pauli and debuted in 2004 on VIEWLEXX. A follow up 12" is on its way....


    So in September 2006 the first Mr Pauli EP was released on Viewlexx, thanks to close friend Alden Tyrell who applied some amazing mastering black magic techniques, to convert the tracks onto vinyl. It is also Mr Tyrell who rearranged and updated his track ' Little ' that got released on Clone records under the name Pauli & Tyrell in late 2005. More recently Pauli has had his first full release on Clone Records, Rotterdam with the new-wave EP Jap Fab.

    Check out this recent interview with Mr Pauli below from http://magicwavesradio.blogspot.com

    You're known as a lover of both italo and electro, and both influences can clearly be heard in your various different projects. Can you tell us a bit about how you got into them and what tracks and producers influenced you the most?

    - That is the music I grew up on. I think one will always like the soundtrack of growing up. But there's much more music I was listening to that influenced me. Pop music from the 80's has been a very big influence. I was addicted to watching video-clips on MusicBox and SkyChannel and those kind of pre-MTV music channels. So I think for instance Duran Duran has been just as big an influence as let's say KOTO.


    What are your memories of the italo pirate radio days in Holland?

    - Those are memories of being a kid riding my BMX bike on hot summer days. I wasn't doing music myself yet so the music is just a soundtrack to my youth. Was listening to the radio a lot when I actually had to be sleeping. Already then I was a creature of the night. I could never sleep when I had to be asleep. So I listened illegally to the illegal radio...


    How did you originally become involved with Viewlexx and the CBS?

    - The first Novamen EP was released on Murdercapital records in 1998 or 1999. And Murdercapital is being run by the same person that's behind CBS and Viewlexx.


    Your electro project Novamen (with DJ Overdose) is one of your most long-running, can you tell us a bit about how it started and how things have changed for Novamen since those early days?

    - Well Overdose and me have been homies for over 25 years so it was only a matter of time before we started working together. When Overdose was living in an old high-school building and I was in dire need of a place to live, I moved in for a few months. So when we had all our gear together in one room, we just HAD to do some music together. Then and there we became Novamen. Since, we've had periods of doing stuff and periods of not doing stuff, and it will probably stay that way.


    The Matzo & Pauli EP on Viewlexx is a great record. Can you tell us something about Matzo & Pauli and if we can expect any more releases in future?

    - Matzo is of course DJ Technician and has also been a homie for ages so for that reason it was inevitable we were going to do something sometime. Both being italo-lovers but only producing electro stuff, it was time to do something in the italo department. We had loads and loads of fun making those tracks, which is of course very important, and still like them today because of that. Actually today I find the music more industrial than italo. Four other Matzo & Pauli tracks exist and who knows if they will get released some day?

    Where do you draw inspiration for your music from?

    - From other music I guess. I'm not the kind of guy that gets inspiration from flowers or a nice landscape or things like that. Oh, and spending time in other peoples' studios gets me motivated to go home and be productive.


    I hear you work mainly with samplers, can you tell us about the way you use them in the studio and what other bits of gear you particularly like?

    - I use my MPC2000XL for sequencing the whole studio and as main sampler. Mostly sample drum sounds but of course also all kinds of other stuff. Used to sample most synth parts too when I only had one synthesiser, but now I have a few synths so I can have one playing a bass-line, one playing strings and one playng a lead etc etc. No need for sampling synths anymore. The Roland Juno 106 was my first love and still use it in every production. Great machine. The NordLead1 was my second love, but after 10 or so years it's not really exciting anymore. Still very useful. Use it live all the time. The (lack of analogue) sound can get kind of boring though. Lately I've been enjoying my new Prophet 8 synthesiser a lot. My first real synth for real men ;-)


    What other contemporary producers and musicians do you listen to?

    - I listen to lots of stuff but I can only name 25% of it....oh yeah lately I like Beta Evers a lot!


    What are the best, worst and most ridiculous gigs that you've ever played?

    The worst gig was a gig I couldn't do because my MPC crashed at the very moment I was pushing the start button. The place was packed with italo-lovers and I was planning on doing a killer set that night. Not a nice experience at all.

    The coolest gig I can think of now was the first Novamen gig we did in Detroit. We arrived late at night. First time there so that was cool to begin with. We drove to one of those completely deserted areas which Detroit mainly exists of, got to a place so underground it wasn't even a venue, and outside we found the nastiest poster EVER with our name on it! Great experience!

    I never played a ridiculous gig ;-)


    What new releases do you have lined up?

    - A four track EP on Clone containing 'JapFab' and 'Questions' (ft. Nancy Fortune & Fred Ventura) and a Bumper 12" on MDEX records. Three tracks, one is called 'Never Stop', and a remix.


    What record of yours are you happiest with and why?

    - Well the Mr Pauli Viewlexx V-16 release is pretty satisfying. That release got Mr Pauli on a roll.


    Where do you think the future for both italo and electro lies?

    - Never thought about that really. For me both genres will never fall out of grace.
    Electro is something electronic music producers tend to fall back to when their original style is milked dry, so I think that will always be around. Certainly as long as music is being made with machines.


    Apart from music, what other passions/obsessions do you have in life?

    - Interested in lots of other things, but music is the only obsession.

    If you could be driving any car down the highway listening to any track you liked, what would they be?

    - Depeche Mode has some great driving tracks. Which are also very suitable when not driving by the way... If cash wasn't an issue I would probably be driving a Rolls Royce Phantom, hehe...


    Five records that have rocked Mr Pauli's world?

    - These records still rock my world , but especially triggered something in my brain when they were released.

    1. Prince - 'Purple Rain' album (and after that all his other stuff until he stopped using his LinnDrum basically)
    2. Michael Jackson - 'Thriller' album. (I mean, my God what a solid album that is!)
    3. Jonzun Crew - 'Pack Jam' (the first dark-ish electro track i can remember. Listening to those chords I was always like WTF is happening here!?)
    4. Trans X - 'Living on Video' (that was really the future when I first heard it. Still can give me goosebumps)
    5. Divine - 'Shoot Your Shot' (and later of course about everything disco Bobby O ever did)

    *Italo, Electro & Chicago trax*

    This coming Saturday sees The Hague's Mr Pauli unleash his live show on Lunar Disko once again!

    Since first coming to prominence as one half of the Novamen, Pauli has released as Matzo & Pauli, Bumper, and as Mr Pauli which has undoubtedly sprung him into an elite group of special electro producers. His debut EP as Mr Pauli on Viewlexx was a total super hit with all fans of the Italo / CBS sound, aswell as his recent EP on Clone Records 'Jap Fab'. Cyber Dance Records has recently released Mr Pauli's jaw-dropping remix of Ali Renault's 'Zombie Raffle, and the Pauli fella will have a remix of Sneak-Thief's 'Zmaj' on the Zmaj EP soon to be released on Lunar Disko Records...

    Check out the label and sounds here:
    http://www.myspace.com/lunardiskorecords

    In the last 18 months his live show has brought him to places such as London, Barcelona, Madrid, and Berlin, winning fans over at every gig. With the likes of Alden Tyrell, Legowelt, and I-f climbing to fame as the 'Dutch electro heavyweights', we can safely say Mr Pauli is as good as these guys in production or live performance.

    On support duty we have two of the best DJ's currently residing in Dublin, Paudi Ahern and Kenny Hanlon. These two lads are no strangers to Dublin clubs, and have already performed for clubs like Electric City (God rest your soul) and Pogo. Kenny & Paudi will be providing the electro and disco sounds from 11pm before La Haya's Mr Pauli takes to the stage.

    Some mixes from Mr. Hanlon:
