http://www.roundtableknights.ch

U can buy their records straight from their webpage. DO IT !




The Round Table Knights are a DJ trio consisting of DJ Questionmark, DJ Atomik and DJ Splinter. If you'd have to characterise them by one term, it can only be diversity. Founded in the year 2000 in Berne, the trio started as a Turntablism- and Scratchband. Soon they focused especially on mixing and the musical horizon was enlarged in many directions. Today the RTK play all kinds of Rock, Electrofunk, Pop, Hip-Hop, House….etc "it’s all about the mix" they say. Since 2002 the Knights are throwing parties all over Switzerland and inviting guests from different musical genres. They played with TTC, DJ Vadim, Gilles Peterson, TY, Spank Rock as well as Modeselektor, Tiga, Simian Mobile Disco, Who Made Who, Tortoise, Tokyo Sex Destruction just to mention a few. In 2004 their first Mix-CD with the slightly ironic title “Only for the Money and the Fame” was released on the Berne-based label Revolt Records, and it hit like a bomb. Immediately the RTK were booked to the Miles Davis Hall at the Jazz Festival Montreux 2004. Also abroad, people began to pay attention to them. Apart form several shows all over Switzerland they rocked Berlin and Vienna the in same year. In Spring 2005, the RTK did some Co-Productions for several Swiss artists. DJ Questionmark did some scratches for the famous Swiss rapper Kutti MC and DJ Atomik scratched on the Open Season-Release Hot & Fire. Also their second Mix-CD called “It’s Funny How Money Changes The Situation”, was released. In addition to that, a 7” made it’s way from Switzerland to record stores in London, Berlin and Vienna. Their live performances on 4 turntables and their aura on stage is legendary. Since mid 2004 the Visual Jockeys from Walldisplay complete the music with their visuals. Their live-sets, coordinated with the music, add another thrilling dimension to the RTK-club-nights. In December 2006 the first RTK 12” will hit the stores. So watch out for more hot releases.

GOODBOOKS - LENI (remixes)
love it



















GoodBooks is all about the convergence of rare and varied skills. Chris Porter produced chart-worrying singles by Take That and Wham. Following flirtatious moments in the NBA and working in California as a stand-up comic, he found himself wanting more. Max Cooke decided that his distinguished career as a concert pianist in Melbourne, Austrialia wasn't for him after all. John Paul Duncan was a professor at Oxford University from 1946 until 1975, but found the creation of the synthesizer more stimulating than writing books on "The Political Philosophy of Elijah Jordan", among other respected titles. Leo von Bülow-Quirk is the only member of the band who doesn't have illustrious former careers provided for him through Google, as he is surely the only one of him on this planet.

They came together, spent 3 and a half weeks learning instruments, like guitar, bass, drums and synthesizer, and decided that the world needed a band who would come on stage to 'Return of the Mack' by Mark Morrison. And so, here we are, with a steady flow of songs and live shows promised. Join the mailing list, and we'll let you know where you should be and when.

FROM THEIR SPACE ABOUT THE NEW LENI MIXES

Well this is very exciting, I am finally popping my blogging cherry and I'm frankly loving it.. Just thought I'd let everyone, who gives a crap, know about the remixes we've had done of Leni. There are 3 of them and they are all totally amazing in their own special way. First up is the Crystal Castles remix which turns Max into a pitch mad chipmunk playing a SNES, then we've got the Caucasian Disco Dub, which manages to make us sound cool and a bit like LCD Soundsystem..and finally the one that dj's like Mylo, Freelance Hellraiser and Layo (however not Laurent Garnier who in his words described all the remixes as not for him) are loving is the Kissy Sell Out Remix, who I'm predicting to be one of the biggest producers/dj's of 2007..he's made us sound like Daft Punk doing an irish jig, which is never a bad thing!
Also on the other side of the wonderful remixing coin we have been very busy boys remixing the lovely Larrikin Love chaps and I think it's our best remix yet.. fingers crossed it should be out in the New Year.
Anyway, have a wonderful Christmas and I hope u all enjoy the Crystal Castles mix that should be appearing sometime very soon on the myspace.

White label 12" sent to clubs. I couldnt found any record store selling it yet

We imagine that means indie clubs, rather than Happy Hardcore @ Turnmills, but you never know.
