Description: Producer / Drummer: KJ Sawka and Composer / Drummer: Jason Camiolo join forces for their debut collaboration on Sawka's forthcoming release "Undefined Connectivity".
Two worlds collide when Camiolo's Cinematic Orchestral melodies are chopped, hacked and electrified by Sawka's machine like precision drumming. The result is the 7:11 epic track "Chasing Lions".

ENTER THE KJ SAWKA REMIX CONTEST AT ACIDplanet.com®From JAN 15, 2009 to FEB 26, 2009

Released worldwide January 27, this EP "Undefined Connectivity" finds Sawka manipulating towering arcs of bass, slicing drumfunk beats into jilted epics, and crafting glitch-electro melodies like a cyborg magician. In the center of this dark geometry is the single “My Girl,” where KJ carves out his signature insect breakbeats against rolling mid-tempo sine waves, hauntingly complemented by the sounds of violins and a raw B-3 organ riff.

Sawka produces the music for an upcoming release & regional tour with DJ James Christopher -a tribute to Hunter S Thompson entitled The Savage Journey!!
some info: The purpose of the Savage Journey is to create a audio/visual music environment using visual imagery representing the concepts covered in the works of Dr. Thompson. The overall goal is to deliver a vision of Hunters point of view concerning politics, America and society using his most important writings as conceptual source material. Using modern computer imaging and 3D animation in combination with original stock footage from the 60's and 70's, our mission is to create a hyper surreal interpretation.
Working with international musicians, producers and visual artist, the teams compiled to create the materials to be used in the Savage Journey are some of the best at what they do. Realizing the gravity of Hunter's own creativity, everyone involved understands that the bar is set high, and that the highest standard of quality is expected of them. Using a new DJ technology called the DVDJ, the machine allows a DJ to have total control over the music and visuals presented to the audience at the same time. This means that the same way a DJ mixes the music you hear he can also mix the video being projected on a movie screen. This will be the method for performing the Savage Journey live.

If you ever want to go some place exciting and adventurous, go to Finland !! I played a gig with LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad and Diana Charlemagne at Studio 51 in Helsinki Finland. It was great ! and very inspiring to rock with Diana. We play inner city pressure and some other new songs of hers. Very nice !! Diana was one of the first dnb singers I have ever heard. It was a big honor to play with her and LTJ again !! .. My old band Siamese played with LTJ Bukem / Mc Conrad way back 6 or 7 years ago in Portland , OR, USA .. It was good to play with them again. Finland has a charm and light about it. People are nice and speak Finnish. NIce cobble stone roads everywhere. There is so much culture and history in the city. Anyways ,, GO TO FINLAND !! you'll love it !!!
