Black Label #11: TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos

CPT 231-1 12"


TJ Kong is a new producer and DJ to emerge from the south of the Netherlands. Inspired and influenced by music as diverse as (early) house, minimal, latin, electro, disco and ambient he has been building himself a solid reputation during the last few years. But while he already played a lot of his own tracks, mixes and edits in the club, he had never thought about releasing his music on wax.


Until, early 2006, he played back to back with the talented DJ Nuno Dos Santos (born in Portugal, raised in the Netherlands) who also had been making himself quite a name in The Netherlands: he played every major club, has his own night in 11 (Amsterdam's number one club) and in October 2005 was voted "Talent of the year" by a panel of 50 top names from the Dutch dance scene.


They both immediatley clicked on a personal and musical level and decided to produce some tunes together. A few weeks later the "Circus Bells EP" was finished! And it won't be their last collaboration, a follow-up is already almost finished. So better watch out for TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos. SOURCE: COMPOST RECORDS

Bloc Party Drummer Collapses, Dates Cancelled

Bloc Party drummer Matt Tong collapsed in Atlanta following their show. Tong fell ill shortly after the band’s set, and was taken to a local hospital where doctors assured that he is in a comfortable condition and not in any danger.

It is still unclear as to when he will be able to return to drumming. A spokesperson told the BBC that the injury may be due to Matt’s drumming: "Matt is known for his energetic drumming style," she said. "It's not clear at this stage when he will be fit to resume performing." A message on the band’s website asserts that they will not be playing at the Charlotte, NC, Fairfax, VA or either New York shows in the coming week.
