NADIA KSAIBA (Our Disco! / SAY YES – London, UK)
+Support Djs: Dimitris Lilis & Nikos Triantafyllou
FREE ENTRANCE!!!
Η Nadia Ksaiba θεωρείται απο πολλούς μια ανερχόμενη superstar dj και ένα καλά κρυμμένο μυστικό και για την σύγχρονη χορευτική σκηνή της Βρετανίας. Ξεκίνησε την καριέρα της σαν ιδρυτικό μέλος του περίφημου club night ‘And Did We Mention Our Disco?’, που μέχρι και το 2006 θεωρούνταν ένα απο τα κορυφαία εβδομαδιαία parties του Λονδίνου μαζί με το ‘Trash’ του Erol Alkan, ο οποίος για την τελευταία του σεζόν στο ‘The End’ την είχε τοποθετήσει resident dj της βραδιάς του. Το εκλεκτικό της γούστο και οι ικανότητες της στα dexx βοήθησαν τα Our Disco parties όχι μόνο στο να γίνουν talk of the town, αλλά και να λανσάρουν πριν απο όλους τότε στο Λονδίνο, μουσικές και live performances απο ονόματα εταιρειών όπως η Ed Banger, η Gomma και η DFA.
H μαζική αναγνώριση ως ήταν αναμενόμενο, δεν άργησε να έρθει και σύντομα η Ksaiba βρέθηκε στην κορυφή της λίστας με τους καλλίτερους ανερχόμενους djs των Βρετανικών περιοδικών. Μια πληθώρα αξιόλογων ονόματων όπως 2 Many Djs, Erol Alkan, Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Tiefschwarz, Justice, Chromeo, Hot Chip, Mylo, New Order κ.α. υποκλίνονται στο ταλέντο της και έτσι η Nadia αποκτά μια σειρά απο residencies σε αντίστοιχα club nights της Ευρώπης ενώ στην Αγγλία εμφανίζεται ως guest πια σε όλα τα cool parties και ξεκινά μόνιμη συνεργασία με την περίφημη Bugged Out.
Όταν η nu rave μόδα καταλαμβάνει το νησί, η Νadia Ksaiba είναι και πάλι μπροστάρης. Μαζί με τον Jamie Reynolds των Klaxons χτίζουν για την dj εκδοχή της μπάντας, φήμη ανάλογη των live εμφανισεών της και ως ‘Klaxons Dj Wrecking Crew’ περιοδεύουν στα μεγαλύτερα festivals του κόσμου δίπλα σε ονόματα όπως Simian Mobile Disco, Erol Alkan, 2manydjs, Glimmers, Tiga, DJ Hell, Arthur Baker, Tom Tom Club, Uffie, Justice, Black Srtobe, Junior Vasquez, Marshall Jefferson, Tiefschwarz, T.Rauschmeire, Optimo, JoJo De Freq, ενώ λίγους μήνες μετά εμφανίζεται σε μια σειρά απο parties για λογαριασμό της Modular records.
Την Παρασκευή 4 Απριλίου, η Nadia Ksaiba θα έρθει στην Αθήνα μετά απο ένα ακόμη party του νέου της club night ‘SAY YES’ μαζί με τους Klaxons και θα βρεθεί πίσω απο τα decks του Soul Stereo καλεσμένη των Flying Lilis Brothers και του Sonic Playground προκειμένου να αποδείξει γιατί όλα τα Βρετανικά περιοδικά κλείνουν τα κείμενά τους για αυτήν με την φράση ‘Ms Ksaiba is here to remind people how it’s done’. Παράλληλα εμφανίζεται σε μια σειρά απο parties για λογαριασμό της Modular records.
Να σημειωθεί ότι η είσοδος είναι ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΗ! και την βραδιά θα ανοίξει ο Δημήτρης Λιλής .
AKOLOUTHEI TO INTERVIEW THS KSAIBA STHN ENGLISH VERSION. (GIA THN ELLHNIKH VERSION check www.avopolis.gr/incoming)
Q. – Back in 2001 you, Rory Phillips, Glyn Campbell and Den Odell decided to come up with the idea of a club night called “Did We Mention Our Disco?”. Tell us a few things about these years and their impact in your career as well as in London’s club night.
Well Glyn and Den came up with the Idea and asked me and Rory to play. I think at the time it was one of the few clubs that played no particular style of music because we all had different musical backgrounds. We had a bit of a rest when every other night in london started to do the same thing.
Q. – You have play records alongside everyone who is someone in terms of crossover djing. Who did you like most and which night turned out to be more important on building your name?
i think the best nights are when you are playing with friends and people who are into the same sort of music as you, so with rory, SMD, with optimo, bugged out is always good.. I have been going there myself since i was 18. and at fabric the other week was pretty good line up.. i played with 2manydjs, erol playing as beyone the wizard sleeve, Smd, inflagranti, Dave P and JDH, Daniel Avery, Todd Hart.
Q. – What kind of records do you like to play in your sets and what kind of records you rather listening at home?
well i listen to radio 3 some times world and jazz, i don’t really play that out.
but listen to a lot of electro, disco, soul and dance music.
Q. – We’ve witnessed disco punk funk, electroclash, nu rave, acid house revival, dubstep etc.What do you think comes next?
deep house! oh god! I really don’t know. I have always been into retro sounds so hopefully something from the past.
Q. – Djing for/with Klaxons you’ve been all over to many festivals arround the world. Which are these that you wanna visit again?
I think over Summer we are doing a few shows together and am looking forward to ibiza. it’s always good when we go back to our home town, bournemouth.. we do this every christmas.

Q.- Do you consider an official dj mix release as a turning point for a new dj?
I love mixes, even mix mp3s or Mix CDs it’s a great way for people to find out about music and would love to do my own CD one day.
Q.- There are lots of wannabe djs and club night promoters reading this, so using your experience, give us a few advices for those who wanna start a club night and those who wanna become successful djs in a successful club night.
