04.27.07] Robogirls 4.8 w/MADAM ZU & LADY AK! [SEATTLE]
Nile Records / Mohawk (PENZANCE, UK) Head of NILE RECORDS, Madam Zu (Julia), can look forward to another great year of amazing DJ performances, production and vinyl releases to consolidate her profile as purveyor of one of the most exciting sounds around. Must have releases on MOHAWK, NILE & AZTEC (who can forget scorchers "The Red Pill" and "Spinback") that remix of ANDY FARLEYS "The Warning" and a string of other consistantly played hard house faves have pushed Julia to the forefront of popularity during the last 18 months, resulting in extensive club tours of the US and Canada and taken her from top UK nights such as PENDRAGON, RIPSNORTER & CHEEKY LITTLE MONKEY to the bizarre experiences of Japanese clubland in TOKYO and OSAKA. Lately Madam Zu has widened her style selection to include awesome Breakbeat and Drum n Bass sets which have a whole new set of dance fans going nuts to her performances. Silverwaters (VANCOUVER, BC) Lady AK’s love for music began as a child. At age four she was enrolled in a local music school in Kiev, Ukraine. From then on into her teen years she immersed herself in music theory. Shortly after moving to Canada, at age of 16, Alla’s friend taught her the essentials of mixing, peaking her interest in DJ’ing. Later that year in 1999 she got her first pair of turntables which came with a box full of random records. It wasn't until 2005 that Lady AK took DJ’ing seriously and swiftly compiled a massive collection of tunes. Her record collection contains many different genres of music to create a proper dancing atmosphere for audiences. Lady AK brings some of the freshest, unique, and soulful blends of Hip Hop, Breakbeats, some of the sickest, grubbiest DnB, as well as Liquid Funk, Jump-Up , Funky, Sexy, and Vocal Electro House.

History of Robogirls
Robogirls, the WebbwerX annual cosplay theme show with a plot, is coming up on its fourth year. With an online trading card release, a booth at Sakura Con, a comic book, and “Dr.WebbwerX” showing up all over the place talking about it, the show promises to be one of WebbwerX largest shows.
The show was originally the brain child of Jimni Cricket. She started the idea as a joke in the kitchen of the infamous “aquatorium” to tease Travis Webbwerx about is infamous fascination with robot girls. The idea behind it was to put three things that Jimni Cricket knew Travis WebbwerX loved; Raves, robot girls and anime. Travis and Jimni envisioned a monstrous party, but were too inexperienced to manage what they had envisioned. They had planned to create a story and plot which would generate a fun background to the party that people would dress up for.. What they were able to manage was a full page flyer, some nice décor, and a major headlining Dj, Dj Polywog from the movie Groove. The event was presented in the now legendary venue The Washington Hall. Even though the whole of Robogirls 1 was not what they had envisioned, the WebbwerX crew accomplished a lot on what was at the time the most ambitious event they had ever conceived. The crew spent 3 days decorating and reshaping the facade of the Washington Hall stage. When the crew was finished, the large “Jazz” stage was reduced to a 12 x 6 foot glowing window behind giant black sheets. This created a shiny black wall, with a simple glowing rectangle in the center where the dj stood as a silhouette. Above this rectangle a large screen running video of code and 3d robot images played, completed by a shinny silver mannequin with lights, electronics and giant white flowing angel wings that spanned the ceiling. “Robogirls 2” was a greater effort to achieve the whole Robogirls concept. The flyer featured original art work by Raven Winter and would featured the first plot references for Robogirls, introducing the main icon of the event to party goers, Kiara, the main icon of the event to party goers. The flyer had all the female dj’s portrayed as anime like Chibi’s. Patrons were encouraged to dress up as their favorite sci-fi and anime characters, with girls cosplaying as robot characters getting a special discount. This was the first known Seattle reference to WebbwerX now popular cosplay raves. "Robogirls 2” was by far more successful than “Robogirls” and nearly doubled in size, making it one of WebbwerX largestshows.. Members of Nwtekno (www.nwtekno.org) enjoyed scripted postings from Dr. Ido and plot additions in serial form. Though at the time no formal outline had been generated, the posts were entertaining.. (However Dr. WebbwerX had no editor at the time, so Dr. Ido’s posts were worse then this post.) Another milestone of “Robogirls 2” was the addition of Sonny Chiba’s half hour “break-in set” as Dr. Ido. The set was designed in to give some entertaining drama to the main stage. It incorporated a brief show of Dr. Ido stealing the stage from the female dj’s just before the headliner. Towards the end of his set, girls at the show were encouraged to boo him off by the other female dj’s and allow the female headliner to play. In this case he was dragged off by Madora Mew and Jimni Cricket. “Robogirls 3” though originally planned full year in advance, should have been the full incorporation of everything, however it snuck up on the crew quickly. Though originally planned to be advertised with a comic and have weeks of promotions, artist delays and staff issues pushed the party into the last minute and over drive by the crew. The flyer and the shows lack of any reference homage to the original franchise may have damaged the turn out. It probably made matters worse that there was only one weekend of promotions, and the show was scheduled to compete with Bad Boy Bill at the last minute. Even with all the headaches the party was a resounding success and helped continue the franchise of Robogirls, bringing in numbers barely short of the second Robogirls and still greater numbers than the first. It was the dominating party that weekend. This year the official artist of WebbwerX, Sun Tate, and Travis WebbwerX have begun working on the long awaited Robogirls comic to advertise the event. For the first time all the characters and plot lines will be introduced in their entirety, all drawn and colored by the magical work of Sun.The event will tie directly into the comic book plot and even into the Hyve (1) plotline generated by WebbwerX in 2001. Also this year, the WebbwerX crew has scheduled many interactive mini events leading up to Robogirls to help gain more involvement by party goers into the Robogirls plot, including; meets, panels at Sakura Con, AS WELL AS a booth at Sakura Con. Advertising for this year's event consists of; online collectable cards with all the characters and a rule set so the game can be played, full page color flyer, a 20 page comic, and a web page with a full back ground story written by Travis WebbwerX and illustrated by Sun Tate. WebbwerX is proud to be the only known rave promotion crew to have an interactive party for its fans and hopes this year, with all our efforts and work, Robogirls will become the mix of fantasy and reality for Ravers that we as a crew have dreamt of. Thank you for joining us! |
