The Musician's Social Club's Blog Talk Radio Show

On Wednesday September 6, 2010 I will have the pleasure of interviewing Jimmie D. Dragatis. Jimmie D. Dragatis is the creator of DRAGATRONIC He is a drummer, composer, producer. His roots are from Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver Canada and Los Angelos. He is a musician of diverse tastes with an eclectic history in many genres. To show off his prowess in creating electronica. Everything from down tempo to bright, melodic techno to world-tronica to trance is on display. The first single from "Eyes Wide Shut" is called "Frantic" and uses its instrumental trance flavors to explore the heady energies of the sexual encounters of lovers. With its lack of lyrics, the song, of course, lends itself to many interpretations. But regardless of a listener's take on the song, it's a formidable track. Focused but filling up the space, the song segues through stages of progress; always holding to its aesthetic of trance meets technologic inorganica meets psy meets electronic melody. It's an evolving song where time collapses into a mating of futuristic and retro-based sensibilities. "It's a bit of a naughty contour for sex," says Jimmie. "It seems to explain the whole "frantic" behavior we have in a very intense and passion driven affair with a wife or girlfriend" Jimmie has released two new discs titles are "Hallucinations" and "Take a Bite" and can be purchased through his site the following links. These discs capture the old beginnings re-mastered and the second generation of songs displayed on the "Take a Bite". The first disc has been very well received in Europe as expected because of its very liberal and no holds bared attitude. The third generation of songs are what you would call a new evolution of dance/trance/hip hop. The fourth and up and coming recording has such titles as "Penetrating Paris" and "If it Ain't Broken Break It" is due this year. Merchandise can be purchased through his store on these sites. www.dragatis.com www.reverbnation.com/dragatis
