ld vinyl turning in circles, hip hop beats, jazzy kind of smooth, movie like, rapping and dreaming away through time and space across all borders and turntables, that's what comes to mind, when you listen to the productions of DJ Hellblazer aka Konstantin Plevnes, a globe trotter and multi-dimensional sound and image artist currently living between Paris and Amsterdam and touring the world with his infectious soundscapes. Konstantin, for whom borders and distances seem to be inexistent, tells us about his mysterious name, about his international label, about how a young man born in Macedonia, who grew up in exile in Paris comes about to working together with musicians from Tokyo to Moscow to LA, about how images tell stories with music and about his childhood memories from today's Ex-Yugoslavia. An intimate journey through music, art and time in a life, where music seems to make this world a better place or like Walt Whitman used to say: "Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you."
