Maximiliano
Victor
Maximiliano, Netherlands Producer, DJ and Remixer.
Victor’s interest in electronic dance music began in the early days of the
legendary Roxy in Amsterdam and from having worked as a radio disc jockey for
some of the popular local FM radio stations in the 1990’s.
By 2009
Victor’s musical journey turned to creating music by becoming a producer of
unique deep sounds thanks to some retro analog gear followed by several digital
releases on various record labels from several European countries.
Deepa Nova is
the first musical collaboration between Victor Maximiliano and Jean Honeymoon.
The original version, an extended instrumental track of over 8 minutes.
“When I
posted the instrumental track on the internet it was picked up immediately by Jean
who loved it, and she asked me if she could sing some vocals and send it back. We
were both very exited about the great lushy atmosphere of Deepa Nova.
The track
contains elements of Deep House and Bossa Nova …the title was easy to imagine.
I did the edit / mixing and final mastering myself, it was a pleasure working
with such a professional and talented person as Jean is, we are very proud Deepa
Nova is released on Chin Chin records!”
Burkina
Lounge
Burkina
Lounge, Padova, Italy are Francesco Gobbo on Keys and Alessandro Arcuri on
Electric Bass, two musicians who manage to blend their heterogeneous musical
backgrounds with samples, musical quotations and loops which makes for their
‘easy-tronica’ sound.
As a live act Burkina Lounge have taken stage at two of Northern Italy's main events, Padova's Sherwood Festival and Venice's Altavoz International Festival. More notably, their music was used in Italy's recent Anti Nuclear Campaign, in June 2011.
Burkina Lounge’s ChinChin Records debut marks their first release with Jean
Honeymoon, their earliest musical
collaboration dating back to 2006 with Time
being a rework of their first recording together. New songs and a promotional tour with Jean are
planned for Autumn 2011.
