BIOGRAPHY
Kalabrese is one of the more glittering characters in Zurichs nightmusic-scene
and and mingles since a couple of years in the frontline, as jockey,
producer, promoter and as club owner. Through his very own style
as a producer he caused a stir outside of switzerland too and through
his release on the well-known Perlon label he gained attention by
many. The feedback on "Hühnerfest" the follow-up
of "Chicken Fried Rice" became even better. DJs like Laurant
Garnier, Luke Solomon and Rainer Trüby didn't stop spinning
this true disco-funk-stomper that was produced together with a brass
orchestra. Rumpelzirkus, Kalabreses first Longplayer, is „Kalabrese“
from it’s first sound until it’s last. It’s a
pure piece of Kalabrese and his first “feature-length”-album.
It rumbles and works the funk organically and songorientated. Passionate
playing is not only a characteristic of Kalabrese - every musician
on the album likes to do it: Kate Wax, who has given her voice to
“Not The Same Shoes”, Flo Götte, who plays the
bass on “Body Tight” or the 24 years old trombonist
Michael Flury, who travels around the globe with his instrument
and a reputated big band.
Not
only classical instruments have been used for this album: The skilled
percussionist Kalabrese throws in his songs everything that makes
sound and often things, that wasn’t built for playing on it,
but for kitchen- or gardenwork. Rumpelzirkus sounds like a spontaneous
Live-Session with good buddies and at the same time like a mirror
of the time, Kalabrese had, while he was working on his songs: Rumpelzirkus
is an absolutely individual album with everything on it, that lacerates
the heart or unburdens it.
Rumpelzirkus is a great piece of music, made for the morning after
and after everything. It’s an album like the sunrise after a
long night out in the clubs. And it’s a collection of potential
favourite songs: Who listens exactely will find his own favourite
song on Rumpelzirkus.
Kalabreses Rumpelzirkus (rumbling circus) goes on tour after album
release with a band setup. Next to his work as dj and producer the
33-year old swiss with italian roots teams up with 5 friends to create
the project "Zukunft (future)", a small club in Zurich.
Kalabrese: "We found each other after years in the circus of
nightlife to join our ways. It's big fun to see our baby grow."
The club is open since more than a year now and plays in the regions
of disco, house and techno - good, positive music. The venue for about
200 people features beneath local guests many international musicians
became on of the hottest spot around.
