Buscemi Live!

New project and album of DJ Buscemi in which he reworked his own songs together with the Italian jazz type-setter and arranger Michel Bisceglia.
Be prepared for late night, jazzy interpretations of Buscemi-songs in new, superbe arrangements. More organic, less electronic. Jazz is the key word.
The album is released on Blue Note. Be prepared for tropical sounds, dub, ska, latin breaks, afrohouse, drum’n bass, gypsy grooves and… JAZZ. Welcome to the party!

Since 1996, Dirk Swartenbroekx (Belgium) is making ‚warm‘ records under the name of Buscemi, one of his favorite actors. His style is deep. Difficult to categorise: nu bossa, nu lounge, house music, brazilian grooves, afrobeat, drum ’n bass… Dancemusic with a latin feel is maybe the best description of the sound of Buscemi.

Buscemi has released 4 EP’s, 3 fully-fledged CDs and two compilations for the famous Blue Note label, that have, and are still, making serious inroads. Buscemi’s skill at turning his hand to basically anything is born out by the way he manages to combine a wide range of musical styles. Buscemi’s groove is acknowledged by artists ranging from Kruder and Dorfmeister, DJ Morpheus, Giles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Rainer Truby and Calexico, to name but a few. His fame as remixer is rapidly spreading, and besides top Belgian acts like Lais and Hooverphonic, he also reworked tracks for foreign bands like Beach Boys, Suba, Madredeus and Calexico.
