    I have been helping one of my musician friends' music formation Gelka with business correspondence for years. He has been my neighbour in Budapest for 12 years now(we live in the same house) , and music duo Gelka has had 4 great tracks released in the past years by Spanish label Cafe del Mar. For over a year Gelka has had a fine English producer, who is a dj,  and works for BBC as well :)

    The English label has recently released some tracks by Gelka on compilation, and next to Gelka from Budapest, it features other Wax On artists from Leeds, Brighton, Dublin, Paris, and Cologne, for example. The English producer, next to already UK released Gelka tracks, is also managing Gelka's coming UK full album - check out Gelka's myspace page, where you can listen to great Gelka down-tempo tracks.

    Anyway, Gelka artists like my poetry:) I have already written lyrics to one of their tracks-  (in the future we will see where it will land...) I hear, after the Gelka album is out, there is a possible UK (and Europe continent) tour. www.myspace.com/gelkamusic      

     enjoy their music. have a nice day!

    best wishes to all, Zoli

    my musician friends' duo Gelka has a track 'Under my star'  feat. singer Beth Hirsch on the brand new Cafe del Mar (vol. 15) album- check out the great track on Gelka's myspace page- www.myspace.com/gelkamusic 

    Anyway,an interesting reference to Suzanne can be found in the press section of Beth Hirsch's website ( www.bethhirsch.com)  about her 'P-Town Rubies' sound material:

    P-Town Rubies

    • "When Suzanne Vega moves to London gets into hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rap, trip hop and drum -n- bass to satisfy her musical wanderlust absorbs the whole damn *** and churns it out in the form of her own musical synthesis, this is what it'd sound like. Luv it and luv Beth."

    wishin' all a nice weekend!
    best, Zoli

    Gelka music duo from Budapest (www.myspace.com/gelkamusic) is going to perform on Ibiza, Spain, on 20 August, at Ibiza Rocks Hotel, launching their first full album cd titled Less is More. The album is released by Wax On Records Ltd, and its executive producer / A&R is George Evelyn,- aka English DJ. E.A.S.E.  Official store release of Gelka's album is on 3 September, I heard from Alex, my musician friend, member of the music duo. Last week I had the honour to get one of the first original copies of the cd album as present, and listen to the 15 special Gelka tracks! Both the cd material and the artwork are wonderful!! Alex, in his Thank You mentiones my artist name in the ' To my best friends! ' section, which is also quite honourable and nice of him, - I wonder if I deserve that. Anyway, you can find more info on the album launch party at Ibiza Rocks Hotel (starting at 8.30pm, Wednesday, 20 August) on Gelka myspace site , www.myspace.com/gelkamusic. I'm sure it will be very nice -unfortunately I can't go. Go and see Gelka and Nightmares On Wax System if you can, they are well worth listening and seeing!  Don't be afraid, they don't bite! :)  
    These pieces of info on Gelka (below) are taken from Gelka's myspace site:
    „What an amazing album. It will, without a doubt, surpass the test of time. A born classic! Listen with your heart, feel it with your soul..." (E.A.S.E., NIGHTMARES ON WAX)

    Finally, Budapest supersonic sound sensation GELKA deliver their „all killer no filler" debut album, intriguingly oozing with class and style: „Less is more" is the next, eagerly awaited longplay release from WAX ON records, the new, NIGHTMARES ON WAX driven artist label.
