From that moment on, I wanted to see her live and feature her in Gimme A Beat. Around that time (early 2022), I reached out to her management and asked for an interview, but I never heard...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Marcia Carr and Helena Star at Flow Festival 2022 *Flow Festival (commonly known as Flow) is an urban music and arts festival in Helsinki, Finland.

Over the years the festival grew from 4000 visitors to 90'000. In 2007 the festival moved to Suvilahti, the former power plant that brings a special vibe to the whole event.

gimme a beat with babymonster* Music Makes Better TV *My personal experience with music in the movies is that if chosen correctly, hearing the music when watching the scene will make it more intense and therefore memorable.
My rationale behind this is simple: there is an emotion that music triggers in us because of the music itself or/and the lyrics of the song. For me and I can imagine that this is the same for many people, the great songs trigger images as well. And when we are watching the movie, if the storyline and casting are done well, so that we can dive deep i...

So I was in exactly that mood when I received one of the...

My favourite roadtrips are the ones where I travel alone. There is no better feeling than driving in the car by yourself for miles, on, if lucky, empty roads, enjoying your music or only your thoughts in your mind in silence, while soaking up the nature around you. Every year I do at least one road trip, to recharge my batteries and get back my (un)usually high energy levels. My most loved road trips happened in the US, exploring national parks, driving down Pacifica and through Big Sur, or n...

It is very simple, this series brings an intimate concert vibe through approx 20 minute video performances, recorded either live at the desk of All Songs Considered host and producer Bob Boilen or, since mid last year and until the foreseeable future, at some place that feels like...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Black Music Month with My Vinyls *Last weekend, I was reorganising my vinyl collection and reminiscing about the good times, before the pandemic. The time when nights were never ending and standing closer to the people meant that you were having good times. Frankly speaking, I already stopped going out to the clubs regularly long before the pandemic. As a matter of fact, I stopped DJ-ing because I didn't see the point in only going to the club to play the music; it only made sense for me when I was balancing the two: going out and dancing or DJ-ing and dancing. And when I stopped...

Since it is obvious that this will not happen any time soon, I like to explore the next best thing: recordings of the live music.
I've already covered my ultimate favorite: NPR's tiny desk concerts in April and May 2020. This time I will explore the female factor of Deezer Sessions, an exclusive series of live sets recorded in different venues, mostly in London and Paris. These sessions are curated by Deezer's dedicated editorial team, who have hand-picked some of the...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Frauen First *Women in Switzerland gained the right to vote in federal elections after a referendum in February 1971. Even though the fight for women’s suffrage in Switzerland started in 1863 (canton Zürich), women had to fight for more than 100 years to get it. And in some cantons it took a bit longer to get there.. last canton to grant women suffrage was Appenzell Innerrhoden (AI) and this only under an order of a Swiss Federal Tribunal.
Nevertheless, February 1971 is considered as an official date, which means that this February we are celebrating 50 years of women's suffrage (Frauenstimmrecht).
So in tonight show I'v...

It is usually a time of the year when things start slowing down, everybody gets a bit friendlier and merrier, and everywhere you go it smells like xmas cookies and glühwein.
But this is 2020, year of Covid19 pandemic and with everything happening around us, it feels like Xmas vibe has lost its charm and jolly, festive spirit. And we can either get into the gloomy mood and "cancel it" or still use an opportunity to slow down, stay within a small circle of friends/family and count our blessings. I...

This year I've decided to keep it local, stay in Zürich and re-visit it.
Regardless of my attendance :-), this fairly young festival seems to attracts more and more people every year, not just from Switzerland but also from other parts of the Europe and even world. The lineup is usually very good with a great balance of rock, indie and electronic music and as man...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Best of 2016 *2016 has been insanely intense and not always easy to handle. The whole year felt as an emotional roller-coaster, looking at it from any perspective. From political point it showed rise in power of right wings parties and their candidates in majority of the countries, world wide tragedies, wars, terrorist attacks and similar. It also felt as an end of an era in some way since several awesome, legendary people passed away: David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Leonard Cohen and unfortunately, many others.

The year after, I saw Angel Haze live for the first time at Montreux Jazz Festival. I actually decided to cover the festival after I saw that

This festival with slightly inappropriate name that is happening during two weeks of July, brings me back last few years, mostly because of it's awesome line-up, perfect combination of known and unknown artists different genres, playing on inside and outside stages in Luzern: KKL, Pavillon, Schweizerhof hotel.

In order to further her education, she moved to Hamburg in Germany, where she studied Anthropology and Archeology. What happened there as well is that even she, herself, discovered amazing talent that she carried all along, but never thought that it was that...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Fiona Daniel at radio LoRa *Fiona Daniel is a young, very talented female artist from Zurich, Switzerland. She plays several instruments and on top of that (somehow) she uses her own voice as an instrument as well.
I saw Fiona for the first time when she guest appeared at the concert of my good friend, Lee Everton. He told me about her and how talented she was, but he never really prepared me for the experience that followed. After that performance I got her album and saw her few times live at her own, solo concerts. This summer, after one of the concerts, when I...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Cherri Bomb, LCMDF and Myra Lee at Rock En Seine 2011 *Just before the summer ends, and cold, rainy autumn starts, there is one last chance for Parisians to rock and it is on the Rock En Seine festival. This festival is held at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, at Château de Saint-Cloud's park just outside Paris, inside the garden designed by Le Nôtre in 17th century. This year, unfortunately, the summer ended few days before the festival and it was raining on and off during the 3 days, but not even that could stop good vibes and rock happening on the stages of the Rock En Seine.
2003 was the first yea...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Moriarty at Les Eurockeennes De Belfort Festival 2011 *Last year, I discovered the rock festival in France with very diverse and interesting line-up and very close to Switzerland, location-wise. I've decided to visit it this year, again.
Les Eurockéennes de Belfort is a festival that is taking place on the peninsula of Malsaucy, near Belfort, France. Amazingly enough, even if this festival is happening since 1989, it’s line up seems to be always fresh, but not overwhelming, having just right amount of more and less known artists. Easy to access: if you are staying at the campsite you could take a walk or a shuttle buss and if...

Dee Dee formed Dum Dum Girls in a late 2008 as a solo project and named it after the song Dum Dum Boys from Iggy Pop and Dum Dum album from The Vaselines. When Dee Dee needed a band to take her songs out of the bedroom, she looked to her friends: Jules (guitar and vocals), Bambi (bass), and Sandy (drums and vocals), and created an all-female band.
I met Dee Dee on 17th of April, Sunday afternoon, before the Dum Dum Girls...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Classic Motown *Motown is a record label that was originally founded in Detroit on April 14, 1960, by Berry Gordy Jr. It played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, but not only because it was the first record label owned by an African American, but also, because by creating the new sound, known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul/R&B music with a distinct pop influence, it crossed-over racially different music styles.
Even though artist development at the Motown was very strict and production style almost factory-like, in order to create artists with the look and the...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Female Drummers & Itw with Cindy Blackman *There is something really fascinating about the drummers. Maybe it's because they give the feeling that they own the beat? Or maybe it's because they can make a song/band sound really good if they have an impeccable drumming skills, and in the same way, make it sound really bad if they miss a beat (or two)?
However, comparing to the other musicians or members of the band, female drummers always were and still are a rare breed. But times are changing and actually, already nowadays, there are many excellent female drummers out there. Thinking that maybe we are just...

gimme a beat with babymonster* Looking Back At 2010 *Personally for me 2011 started stress free and very smooth. Music wise as well it seems like it's going to be very promising year. There are already few albums released with news of some potentially good ones to come out very soon. All of this will bring awesome concerts from promotion tours as well.
But while I am excitingly waiting to see what will the new year bring, as I usually feel in the beginning of every year, before steping into 2011, let's look back at all the fabulous music that 2010 brought in.

gimme a beat with babymonster* Kate Nash at Kaufleuten, Zurich *Kate Nash is an UK singer/songwriter/pianist/guitarist that had a breakthrough in 2007 with break-up song "Foundations". Following was release of the first album, platinum selling UK number one, Made of Bricks. Next, she was named Best Female Artist at the 2008 BRIT Awards.
This year in April, Kate released her 2nd studio album, entitled My Best Friend Is You. Being inspired by 60's girl groups and Riot grrrl movement, this album has a different sound then the previous one. And somehow i feel that this style of music suits even better Kate's daring, bold lyrics. It definitely seems like l...
