in celebration of their first anniversary, Etel Magazine’s fifth issue features an interview of mexican housemaster Rubinskee.

Etel Magazine callss Rubinskee’s music “highly recommended”, “adictive” and “varied in its stock of tempos and musical forms.” In the interview, you will find out about Rubinskee’s musical evolution, influences, future projects and thoughts on such topics as the current independent electronic scene in Mexico, being a part of Discos Konfort, and starting your own electronic music project.

Las weekend, Rubinskee performed as part of the Raveolution festival at Pasagüero, in downtown México City. We have uploaded a couple of pictures to our flickr page, so check them out.

First of all, thanks to everyone who showed up last weekend for another Replicant Night. The first pics are already up on our flickr page, so check them out. The vibe was cool and the beats were fierce, and we are already looking forward next month’s Drop Tour through Guadalajara and Aguascalientes, so if you are near any of these cities, look for further information soon.

But it is not only Mexico, this month Señor Mandril is returning to the Montreal Jazz Festival, up there in the land of maple leaves. After the success of 2006, they have been moved to a larger stage, the Scene Groove Bell, Clark Parking, Montreal Canada, where they will be showcasing their latest material, Terragroove, the funky and latin jazzy affair Rolling Stone magazine has been raving about. Mark your calendars for Sunday night, June 29. It is free!

April has been a great month for us at Konfort. The Incognito Traveller EP has broken the 15,000 downloads barrier, and is now headed for its 20,000th download.

Keeping our international presence alive, we took off earlier in the month to Paris for this year’s Qwartz Electronic Music Awards. With not much knowledge of French language, we took a stand at the accompanying independent labels fair at the famous Cirque De Hiver. Thank you for all the friendly people we met in Paris.

Our good friends at Dancefloor Mayhem and Discobelle music blogs have just featured Rubinskee’s Telúrico Ep on No Copy Protection, which they labelled “seriously funky”!



Also, last year, Rosco remixed BNLoco’s Canción Playera for a download only EP available via I-Tunes.



You can hear Rosco’s remix on Sonic 360 media player.

Konfort has never been only about music. True to the multi-media spirit of our artists’ collective, Héctor Zarate aka HZ has a new photo exhibit at Pueblo Nuevo’s Virtual Gallery. The exhibition is called “Mind your own Business” and features HZ’s very personal take on the relationship between people and their workplaces.
