<p>Lib66: /* Thursday 23 September 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 3 - Promotion (Radio, event marketing and organization) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project. With reference to the first phase results, there is still a long way to go in terms of obtaining more material and information, particularly that linked to the late 1970s/early 1980s. This is due to the fact that much of this material is to be found in private and/or personal collections, possibly owned by people who are not yet aware of this project's aspirations nor its communal collaborative approach. we have also taken into consideration the significant amount of interest shown by attendees at the oral history sessions, but a more effective mechanism is still being discussed in order to maintain that enthusiasm and convert it into a higher level of actual engagement and participation. <br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

== Events ==<br />
<br />
===Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
===Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<p>Lib66: /* Thursday 22 July 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 1 - Evolution (Focus on the DJ Era) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<br />
==='''Thursday 23 September 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 3 - Promotion (Radio, event marketing and organization)'''===<br />
<br />
This session focused on the promotion of homegrown events which gradually took on an international aspect, radio presence and its impact. During this session, Michael Bugeja interviewed three DJs who were active as performers as well as events promoters and organizers, and radio show hosts. All three guests, namely [[Adrian V]], [[Bryan S]] and [[Junior B]], were prominent in the electronic music scene from the 1990s onwards. The session was followed by a DJ set from Junior B.<br />

<br />
==='''Saturday 23 October 2021 - Maltese Electronic Music in the Eighties: Session held as part of Circuits 2021 Festival Weekend'''===<br />
<br />
In the fourth and final oral history session, Michael Bugeja interviewed members from three groups that were formed and were majorly active in the 1980s, namely [[Art in Glass]] represented by [[Simon Psaila]], [[Structure]], represented by [[Pierre Caruana]], and [[X-Tend]], represented by three of the band's founding members, [[Charles Dalli]], [[Eric Calleja]] and [[Godwin Debono]]. Of these three bands, only X-Tend are still active. <br />

This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<p>Lib66: /* Saturday 23 October 2021 - Maltese Electronic Music in the Eighties: Session held as part of Circuits 2021 Festival Weekend */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

<p>Lib66: /* Thursday 23 September 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 3 - Promotion (Focus on radio, event marketing and organization) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

==='''Thursday 23 September 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 3 - Promotion (Radio, event marketing and organization)'''===<br />
<br />
This session focused on the promotion of homegrown events which gradually took on an international aspect, radio presence and its impact. During this session, Michael Bugeja interviewed three DJs who were active as performers as well as events promoters and organizers, and radio show hosts. All three guests, namely [[Adrian V]], [[Bryan S]] and [[Junior B]], were prominent in the electronic music scene from the 1990s onwards. The session was followed by a DJ set from Junior B.<br />

==='''Saturday 23 October 2021 - Maltese Electronic Music in the Eighties: Session held as part of Circuits 2021 Festival Weekend'''===<br />
<br />
In the fourth and final oral history session, Michael Bugeja interviewed members from three groups that were formed and were majorly active in the 1980s, namely [[Art in Glass]] represented by [[Simon Psaila]], [[Structure]], represented by [[Pierre Caruana]], and [[X-Tend]], represented by three of the band's founding members, [[Charles Dalli]], [[Eric Calleja]] and [[Godwin Debono]].

<p>Lib66: /* Thursday 12 August 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 2 - Exploration (Focus on Productions) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<p>Lib66: /* Thursday 22 July 2021 - The Evolution of the Electronic Dance Music Culture in Malta: Session 1 - Evolution (Focus on the DJ Era) */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />
== Events ==<br />
<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<p>Lib66: /* Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
<br />

<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was announced on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a schedule of events linked to the data gathering and processing phases of the project, based primarily on archival research, third party collections, interviews and oral history sessions with key people linked to the electronic music scene in Malta. A good amount of related memorabilia, consisting mostly of flyers and some analogue recordings, has also been gathered. These are currently being evaluated in preparation for digitization and eventual cataloguing within this repository; both these processes fall within the second phase of the project.<br />
<br />
Further down, the working lists of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, Maltese record labels, key people and venues have been updated to include data gathered from the events held to date. These lists will continue to be updated and expanded by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

<br />
==='''Saturday 03 February 2021 - Official Elektronika Project Launch'''===<br />
Before Elektronika was formally launched, a visual identity needed to be established, and this was designed by Enrique’ Tabone. This consists of a design which incorporates the name itself and which is also synonymous with a synthesizer knob which is an integral part of the core of electronic music production and sound design.<br />
<br />
The project was launched in a live streamed public event held at Spazju Kreattiv. During this event, Michael Bugeja, Dr Toni Sant and Edwin Balzan outlined the aims of the project and also made a call for assistance from the electronic music community. At this stage, this project was already hosted in a webpage as part of the m3p.com.mt website.<br />
<br />
As part of this launch, Michael Bugeja interviewed the experimental music artist [[Kurt Buttigieg]] about his participation to this project and the electronic music producer, [[Sonitus Eco]] who also performed a dj set (consisting entirely of own composed material) after the presentation.<br />

<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was launched on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a working list of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, which we hope to expand on by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was launched on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a working list of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, which we hope to expand on by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

<p>Lib66: /* List of Maltese record labels */</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was launched on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a working list of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, which we hope to expand on by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />

MMI 2010 Listeners' Picks Poll
2021-06-20T15:17:51Z
<p>Lib66: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''The MMI Listeners' Picks poll aims to establish the top favourite releases of the year among the weekly [[Mużika Mod Ieħor]] podcast listeners.'''<br />
<br />
A list of music from Maltese recording artists released in 2010 was compiled by [[Toni Sant]] for his fifth annual [[MMI Listeners' Picks]] poll. This is not a fully comprehensive list of 2010 releases; Toni Sant has always admitted on his podcast and blog that he is somewhat selective - but the scope has always been to include as many titles as possible at the nomination stage. <br />

MMI 2010 Listeners' Picks Poll

<hr />
<div>'''The MMI Listeners' Picks poll aims to establish the top favourite releases of the year among the weekly [[Mużika Mod Ieħor]] podcast listeners.'''<br />
<br />
A list of music from Maltese recording artists released in 2010 was compiled by [[Toni Sant]] for his fifth annual [[MMI Listeners' Picks]] poll. This is not a fully comprehensive list of 2010 releases; Toni Sant has always admitted on his podcast and blog that he is somewhat selective - but the scope has always been to include as many titles as possible at the nomination stage. <br />

<br />
Jon Lukas known as ''Woodenman'', born (4 August 1948 – 11 June 2021) as Frank Agius, was a Maltese musician from [[Paola]], Malta. Back in the 1970s, Jon Lukas scored a first for Maltese music when he released [http://tinyurl.com/a95dbf4 Can't afford to lose]. The song went on to become a huge hit, making him the first Maltese artist to break through at an international level. 40 years later, his milestone feat was recognized when, on 28 November 2010, [http://tinyurl.com/6dzdjt4 his handprint was included at Bay Street's Walk of Fame]. He also received a [http://www.facebook.com/jon.woodenman/media_set?set=a.10150101384268162.303058.722243161&type=3 Lifetime Achievement award at that year's edition of the Malta Music Awards], which was presented to him by Freddie Portelli and featured on the [http://tinyurl.com/cfs2d9g TVM news] that same day. <br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
It goes without saying that Jon Lukas will forever be remembered in Maltese music history, and not only for achieving the first-ever successful pop chart placing in various foreign territories, but also for being the first Maltese pop artist to sign with a major international record company. In the 1970s, a time when in Malta the only access to pop music was via Rediffusion, FM radio and the internet were still unheard of and even making an overseas telephone call was quite complicated, dreaming of becoming a pop star was next to impossible, so the fact that Jon Lukas succeeded in getting signed to EMI Columbia was certainly a momentous feat.<br />
<br />
<br />
At its peak Can't afford to lose was getting regular airplay on Radio Luxembourg, which was essentially the equivalent of today's MTV. Thanks to the station playing the song twice nightly for a month and with the odd playlist inclusion over the next year or so the song, spread to various territories where it made a huge impact. Considered by his fans as a classic evergreen, the song continues to enjoy regular airplay, especially in Malta. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's worth mentioning that Can't afford to lose was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, precisely in the same studio, and using the same microphones and session musicians as The Beatles at the time when the Fab Four were close to breaking up. The single's B-side Can't Make you Mine was written by Mike McGear of UK act The Scaffold, who in real life is actually Peter McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from making it to the Top 40 charts in the UK and some other European territories, Can't afford to lose occupied the top place in the pop charts in Lebanon for a full month, holding back The Beatles' The Long and Winding Road from reaching the No.1 spot. This led to several tours in Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, Damascus, Iran and the rest of the Emirates, with Lukas sharing top billing alongside major names such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googoosh Googoosh], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_B%C3%A9caud Gilbert Bécaud], Johnny Halliday, Michel Legrand, Mal, Domenico Modugno, Patti Pravo, Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Bananarama, Lisa Stansfield, Level 42 and various other international acts and stars of the Arabic music world. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the start of the 1980s, Jon Lukas formed a close friendship with US soul legend and Grammy Award winner Marvin Gaye, who was at the time living in London and going through a period of personal turmoil. They worked together on a number of ideas and productions, and although these remained largely unfinished, Lukas did release one track in particular, [http://tinyurl.com/6zemfyq Love Hurts], sadly just before Gaye's tragic death in 1984.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1993, Jon Lukas, accompanied by Marita, placed second in that year's Malta Song Contest with the song [http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=49431_395452 Żommni u Għannaqni]. The song marked another first in the singer's career, being the first time he sang in Maltese, the experience of which Lukas has said 'opened a deep feeling of belonging'. The English language version of the song was titled Love We Share and was produced by renowned Indian-British music producer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biddu Biddu] whose track record includes Carl Douglas'[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Fighting Kung Fu Fighting] as well as hits by Tina Charles, Jimmy James and The Real Thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
In 1994 Jon Lukas broke the taboo surrounding HIV/AIDS in Malta by setting up the [http://tinyurl.com/c4qreqz Jon Lukas AIDS Awareness Campaign], to promote awareness and education about the emerging disease. That same year, Lukas organized and participated in a [http://tinyurl.com/5r3cozd Rock Mass] dedicated to his brother Ray, who had died from HIV+ related complications in 1987.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1998, the singer, under the name of Woodenman, his band at the time, made a significant impression by conquering the Peoplesound.com indie music web charts. The band was at No.1 for the entire month of August with the song My Time. Later that year, Lukas suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest, as a result of which he was forced to take a break from music and spend time resting and recovering. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although not so much in the public eye, the singer was still dabbling in music behind the scenes, and in 2007, he was presented with an Effigy Award in Marbella, Spain, where he spent a lot of his time when not in the UK. The award was given to him by ONDA CERO Radio/ABC Network Radio USA for radio airplay in these territories for his 2007 release Far Away, his first under the jon lukas woodenman moniker that he continues to record under to this day. Later that year, he also released a new song, Better man, which like Far away, revealed a <br />
re-energized appetite for music that captured his soulful timbre with a fresh perspective.<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout the larger part of his career, Lukas had rarely visited Malta, except for maybe the odd short break. In early 2009 however, he decided to return for a six-month stretch in order to care for his mother, who had become very ill. While in Malta, he got involved in the local scene, forming part of the judging panel on ONE TV’s talent show [http://tinyurl.com/ck7a5sd ID] and presenting his own distinctive cutting edge radio show, [http://tinyurl.com/5ufnwys woodenman’s jukebox], with the aim of presenting listeners with 'uninterrupted credible music - no talk'. <br />
<br />
<br />
The radio show is still broadcast to this day, and is [http://www.one.com.mt/index.php?id=1929 streamed live] on Fridays at 2045hrs CET (1945hrs UK) on ONE Radio and at [http://www.channelradio.co.uk/ CHANNEL RADIO UK] on Wednesdays at 1900hrs CET (1800hrs UK) with a repeat on Fridays 2200hrs CET (2100hrs UK). Show details and listen on-demand links for all the woodenman's jukebox broadcasts are available on the [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodenmans-jukebox/176021599118074?fref=ts dedicated Facebook page]. Around this time, jonlukaswoodenman was approached by Adrian Saliba of Rewind Productions to write a song, [http://tinyurl.com/c6g3b87 ONE 4 U], for the 2010 Malta Eurosong Contest.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2010, jonlukas woodenman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6baK7DDQ4Q woodenman was diagnosed with lung cancer], which left him without part of one of his lungs. This was followed by a gruelling four month chemotherapy course, the experience of which he shared with his friends and fans via [http://www.facebook.com/pages/jon-lukas-woodenman/13212079403?sk=notes online posts about his cancer treatment on his Facebook page].<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 2010 a personal tribute by Winter Moods (Malta's biggest band of its music history) was given to woodenman during the band's concert in front of a 10,000-strong audience..... an historical first in terms of gross attendance, considering the size of this small Island. <br />
<br />
In May 2011 his [http://tinyurl.com/cbfklb5 first post-cancer live appearance] courtesy of Winter Moods in tribute concert. He also featured in the [http://tinyurl.com/c3d8elo TVM's biography about Winter Moods]. <br />
<br />
<br />
His involvement, along with meeting some of the movers and shakers of the Maltese music scene introduced him to the abundance of activity and talent that the island had to offer. In fact, apart from recording his radio shows, the schedule of his visits to Malta, now more frequent, also includes taking in a number of live music events that happen on the island.<br />

Jon Lukas known as ''Woodenman'', born (4 August 1948 – 11 June 2021) as Frank Agius, was a Maltese musician from [[Paola]], Malta. Back in the 1970s, Jon Lukas scored a first for Maltese music when he released [http://tinyurl.com/a95dbf4 Can't afford to lose]. The song went on to become a huge hit, making him the first Maltese artist to break through at an international level. 40 years later, his milestone feat was recognized when, on 28 November 2010, [http://tinyurl.com/6dzdjt4 his handprint was included at Bay Street's Walk of Fame]. He also received a [http://www.facebook.com/jon.woodenman/media_set?set=a.10150101384268162.303058.722243161&type=3 Lifetime Achievement award at that year's edition of the Malta Music Awards], which was presented to him by Freddie Portelli and featured on the [http://tinyurl.com/cfs2d9g TVM news] that same day. <br />

== Biography ==<br />
It goes without saying that Jon Lukas will forever be remembered in Maltese music history, and not only for achieving the first-ever successful pop chart placing in various foreign territories, but also for being the first Maltese pop artist to sign with a major international record company. In the 1970s, a time when in Malta the only access to pop music was via Rediffusion, FM radio and the internet were still unheard of and even making an overseas telephone call was quite complicated, dreaming of becoming a pop star was next to impossible, so the fact that Jon Lukas succeeded in getting signed to EMI Columbia was certainly a momentous feat.<br />
<br />
<br />
At its peak Can't afford to lose was getting regular airplay on Radio Luxembourg, which was essentially the equivalent of today's MTV. Thanks to the station playing the song twice nightly for a month and with the odd playlist inclusion over the next year or so the song, spread to various territories where it made a huge impact. Considered by his fans as a classic evergreen, the song continues to enjoy regular airplay, especially in Malta. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's worth mentioning that Can't afford to lose was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, precisely in the same studio, and using the same microphones and session musicians as The Beatles at the time when the Fab Four were close to breaking up. The single's B-side Can't Make you Mine was written by Mike McGear of UK act The Scaffold, who in real life is actually Peter McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from making it to the Top 40 charts in the UK and some other European territories, Can't afford to lose occupied the top place in the pop charts in Lebanon for a full month, holding back The Beatles' The Long and Winding Road from reaching the No.1 spot. This led to several tours in Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, Damascus, Iran and the rest of the Emirates, with Lukas sharing top billing alongside major names such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googoosh Googoosh], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_B%C3%A9caud Gilbert Bécaud], Johnny Halliday, Michel Legrand, Mal, Domenico Modugno, Patti Pravo, Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Bananarama, Lisa Stansfield, Level 42 and various other international acts and stars of the Arabic music world. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the start of the 1980s, Jon Lukas formed a close friendship with US soul legend and Grammy Award winner Marvin Gaye, who was at the time living in London and going through a period of personal turmoil. They worked together on a number of ideas and productions, and although these remained largely unfinished, Lukas did release one track in particular, [http://tinyurl.com/6zemfyq Love Hurts], sadly just before Gaye's tragic death in 1984.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1993, Jon Lukas, accompanied by Marita, placed second in that year's Malta Song Contest with the song [http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=49431_395452 Żommni u Għannaqni]. The song marked another first in the singer's career, being the first time he sang in Maltese, the experience of which Lukas has said 'opened a deep feeling of belonging'. The English language version of the song was titled Love We Share and was produced by renowned Indian-British music producer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biddu Biddu] whose track record includes Carl Douglas'[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Fighting Kung Fu Fighting] as well as hits by Tina Charles, Jimmy James and The Real Thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
In 1994 Jon Lukas broke the taboo surrounding HIV/AIDS in Malta by setting up the [http://tinyurl.com/c4qreqz Jon Lukas AIDS Awareness Campaign], to promote awareness and education about the emerging disease. That same year, Lukas organized and participated in a [http://tinyurl.com/5r3cozd Rock Mass] dedicated to his brother Ray, who had died from HIV+ related complications in 1987.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1998, the singer, under the name of Woodenman, his band at the time, made a significant impression by conquering the Peoplesound.com indie music web charts. The band was at No.1 for the entire month of August with the song My Time. Later that year, Lukas suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest, as a result of which he was forced to take a break from music and spend time resting and recovering. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although not so much in the public eye, the singer was still dabbling in music behind the scenes, and in 2007, he was presented with an Effigy Award in Marbella, Spain, where he spent a lot of his time when not in the UK. The award was given to him by ONDA CERO Radio/ABC Network Radio USA for radio airplay in these territories for his 2007 release Far Away, his first under the jon lukas woodenman moniker that he continues to record under to this day. Later that year, he also released a new song, Better man, which like Far away, revealed a <br />
re-energized appetite for music that captured his soulful timbre with a fresh perspective.<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout the larger part of his career, Lukas had rarely visited Malta, except for maybe the odd short break. In early 2009 however, he decided to return for a six-month stretch in order to care for his mother, who had become very ill. While in Malta, he got involved in the local scene, forming part of the judging panel on ONE TV’s talent show [http://tinyurl.com/ck7a5sd ID] and presenting his own distinctive cutting edge radio show, [http://tinyurl.com/5ufnwys woodenman’s jukebox], with the aim of presenting listeners with 'uninterrupted credible music - no talk'. <br />
<br />
<br />
The radio show is still broadcast to this day, and is [http://www.one.com.mt/index.php?id=1929 streamed live] on Fridays at 2045hrs CET (1945hrs UK) on ONE Radio and at [http://www.channelradio.co.uk/ CHANNEL RADIO UK] on Wednesdays at 1900hrs CET (1800hrs UK) with a repeat on Fridays 2200hrs CET (2100hrs UK). Show details and listen on-demand links for all the woodenman's jukebox broadcasts are available on the [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodenmans-jukebox/176021599118074?fref=ts dedicated Facebook page]. Around this time, jonlukaswoodenman was approached by Adrian Saliba of Rewind Productions to write a song, [http://tinyurl.com/c6g3b87 ONE 4 U], for the 2010 Malta Eurosong Contest.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2010, jonlukas woodenman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6baK7DDQ4Q woodenman was diagnosed with lung cancer], which left him without part of one of his lungs. This was followed by a gruelling four month chemotherapy course, the experience of which he shared with his friends and fans via [http://www.facebook.com/pages/jon-lukas-woodenman/13212079403?sk=notes online posts about his cancer treatment on his Facebook page].<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 2010 a personal tribute by Winter Moods (Malta's biggest band of its music history) was given to woodenman during the band's concert in front of a 10,000-strong audience..... an historical first in terms of gross attendance, considering the size of this small Island. <br />
<br />
In May 2011 his [http://tinyurl.com/cbfklb5 first post-cancer live appearance] courtesy of Winter Moods in tribute concert. He also featured in the [http://tinyurl.com/c3d8elo TVM's biography about Winter Moods]. <br />
<br />
<br />
His involvement, along with meeting some of the movers and shakers of the Maltese music scene introduced him to the abundance of activity and talent that the island had to offer. In fact, apart from recording his radio shows, the schedule of his visits to Malta, now more frequent, also includes taking in a number of live music events that happen on the island.<br />

Jon Lukas known as ''Woodenman'', born (4 August 1948 – 11 June 2021) as Frank Agius, was a Maltese musician from [[Paola]], Malta. Back in the 1970s, Jon Lukas scored a first for Maltese music when he released [http://tinyurl.com/a95dbf4 Can't afford to lose]. The song went on to become a huge hit, making him the first Maltese artist to break through at an international level. 40 years later, his milestone feat was recognized when, on 28 November 2010, [http://tinyurl.com/6dzdjt4 his handprint was included at Bay Street's Walk of Fame]. He also received a [http://www.facebook.com/jon.woodenman/media_set?set=a.10150101384268162.303058.722243161&type=3 Lifetime Achievement award at that year's edition of the Malta Music Awards], which was presented to him by Freddie Portelli and featured on the [http://tinyurl.com/cfs2d9g TVM news] that same day. <br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
It goes without saying that Jon Lukas will forever be remembered in Maltese music history, and not only for achieving the first-ever successful pop chart placing in various foreign territories, but also for being the first Maltese pop artist to sign with a major international record company. In the 1970s, a time when in Malta the only access to pop music was via Rediffusion, FM radio and the internet were still unheard of and even making an overseas telephone call was quite complicated, dreaming of becoming a pop star was next to impossible, so the fact that Jon Lukas succeeded in getting signed to EMI Columbia was certainly a momentous feat.<br />
<br />
<br />
At its peak Can't afford to lose was getting regular airplay on Radio Luxembourg, which was essentially the equivalent of today's MTV. Thanks to the station playing the song twice nightly for a month and with the odd playlist inclusion over the next year or so the song, spread to various territories where it made a huge impact. Considered by his fans as a classic evergreen, the song continues to enjoy regular airplay, especially in Malta. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's worth mentioning that Can't afford to lose was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, precisely in the same studio, and using the same microphones and session musicians as The Beatles at the time when the Fab Four were close to breaking up. The single's B-side Can't Make you Mine was written by Mike McGear of UK act The Scaffold, who in real life is actually Peter McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from making it to the Top 40 charts in the UK and some other European territories, Can't afford to lose occupied the top place in the pop charts in Lebanon for a full month, holding back The Beatles' The Long and Winding Road from reaching the No.1 spot. This led to several tours in Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, Damascus, Iran and the rest of the Emirates, with Lukas sharing top billing alongside major names such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googoosh Googoosh], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_B%C3%A9caud Gilbert Bécaud], Johnny Halliday, Michel Legrand, Mal, Domenico Modugno, Patti Pravo, Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Bananarama, Lisa Stansfield, Level 42 and various other international acts and stars of the Arabic music world. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the start of the 1980s, Jon Lukas formed a close friendship with US soul legend and Grammy Award winner Marvin Gaye, who was at the time living in London and going through a period of personal turmoil. They worked together on a number of ideas and productions, and although these remained largely unfinished, Lukas did release one track in particular, [http://tinyurl.com/6zemfyq Love Hurts], sadly just before Gaye's tragic death in 1984.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1993, Jon Lukas, accompanied by Marita, placed second in that year's Malta Song Contest with the song [http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=49431_395452 Żommni u Għannaqni]. The song marked another first in the singer's career, being the first time he sang in Maltese, the experience of which Lukas has said 'opened a deep feeling of belonging'. The English language version of the song was titled Love We Share and was produced by renowned Indian-British music producer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biddu Biddu] whose track record includes Carl Douglas'[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Fighting Kung Fu Fighting] as well as hits by Tina Charles, Jimmy James and The Real Thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
In 1994 Jon Lukas broke the taboo surrounding HIV/AIDS in Malta by setting up the [http://tinyurl.com/c4qreqz Jon Lukas AIDS Awareness Campaign], to promote awareness and education about the emerging disease. That same year, Lukas organized and participated in a [http://tinyurl.com/5r3cozd Rock Mass] dedicated to his brother Ray, who had died from HIV+ related complications in 1987.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1998, the singer, under the name of Woodenman, his band at the time, made a significant impression by conquering the Peoplesound.com indie music web charts. The band was at No.1 for the entire month of August with the song My Time. Later that year, Lukas suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest, as a result of which he was forced to take a break from music and spend time resting and recovering. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although not so much in the public eye, the singer was still dabbling in music behind the scenes, and in 2007, he was presented with an Effigy Award in Marbella, Spain, where he spent a lot of his time when not in the UK. The award was given to him by ONDA CERO Radio/ABC Network Radio USA for radio airplay in these territories for his 2007 release Far Away, his first under the jon lukas woodenman moniker that he continues to record under to this day. Later that year, he also released a new song, Better man, which like Far away, revealed a <br />
re-energized appetite for music that captured his soulful timbre with a fresh perspective.<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout the larger part of his career, Lukas had rarely visited Malta, except for maybe the odd short break. In early 2009 however, he decided to return for a six-month stretch in order to care for his mother, who had become very ill. While in Malta, he got involved in the local scene, forming part of the judging panel on ONE TV’s talent show [http://tinyurl.com/ck7a5sd ID] and presenting his own distinctive cutting edge radio show, [http://tinyurl.com/5ufnwys woodenman’s jukebox], with the aim of presenting listeners with 'uninterrupted credible music - no talk'. <br />
<br />
<br />
The radio show is still broadcast to this day, and is [http://www.one.com.mt/index.php?id=1929 streamed live] on Fridays at 2045hrs CET (1945hrs UK) on ONE Radio and at [http://www.channelradio.co.uk/ CHANNEL RADIO UK] on Wednesdays at 1900hrs CET (1800hrs UK) with a repeat on Fridays 2200hrs CET (2100hrs UK). Show details and listen on-demand links for all the woodenman's jukebox broadcasts are available on the [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodenmans-jukebox/176021599118074?fref=ts dedicated Facebook page]. Around this time, jonlukaswoodenman was approached by Adrian Saliba of Rewind Productions to write a song, [http://tinyurl.com/c6g3b87 ONE 4 U], for the 2010 Malta Eurosong Contest.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2010, jonlukas woodenman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6baK7DDQ4Q woodenman was diagnosed with lung cancer], which left him without part of one of his lungs. This was followed by a gruelling four month chemotherapy course, the experience of which he shared with his friends and fans via [http://www.facebook.com/pages/jon-lukas-woodenman/13212079403?sk=notes online posts about his cancer treatment on his Facebook page].<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 2010 a personal tribute by Winter Moods (Malta's biggest band of its music history) was given towoodenman during their 10.000 audience attended concert ..... an historical gross attendance first, considering the size of this small Island. <br />
<br />
In May 2011 his [http://tinyurl.com/cbfklb5 first post-cancer live appearance] courtesy of Winter Moods in tribute concert. He also featured in the [http://tinyurl.com/c3d8elo TVM's biography about Winter Moods]. <br />
<br />
<br />
His involvement, along with meeting some of the movers and shakers of the Maltese music scene introduced him to the abundance of activity and talent that the island had to offer. In fact, apart from recording his radio shows, the schedule of his visits to Malta, now more frequent, also includes taking in a number of live music events that happen on the island.<br />

Jon Lukas known as ''Woodenman'', born (4 August 1948 – 11 June 2021) as Frank Agius, was a Maltese musician from [[Paola]], Malta. Back in the 1970s, Jon Lukas scored a first for Maltese music when he released [http://tinyurl.com/a95dbf4 Can't afford to lose]. The song went on to become a huge hit, making him the first Maltese artist to break through at an international level. 40 years later, his milestone feat was recognized when, on 28 November 2010, [http://tinyurl.com/6dzdjt4 his handprint was included at Bay Street's Walk of Fame]. He also received a [http://www.facebook.com/jon.woodenman/media_set?set=a.10150101384268162.303058.722243161&type=3 Lifetime Achievement award at that year's edition of the Malta Music Awards], which was presented to him by Freddie Portelli and featured on the [http://tinyurl.com/cfs2d9g TVM news] that same day. <br />
<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
It goes without saying that Jon Lukas will forever be remembered in Maltese music history, and not only for achieving the first-ever successful pop chart placing in various foreign territories, but also for being the first Maltese pop artist to sign with a major international record company. In the 1970s, a time when in Malta the only access to pop music was via Rediffusion, FM radio and the internet were still unheard of and even making an overseas telephone call was quite complicated, dreaming of becoming a pop star was next to impossible, so the fact that Jon Lukas succeeded in getting signed to EMI Columbia was certainly a momentous feat.<br />
<br />
<br />
At its peak Can't afford to lose was getting regular airplay on Radio Luxembourg, which was essentially the equivalent of today's MTV. Thanks to the station playing the song twice nightly for a month and with the odd playlist inclusion over the next year or so the song, spread to various territories where it made a huge impact. Considered by his fans as a classic evergreen, the song continues to enjoy regular airplay, especially in Malta. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's worth mentioning that Can't afford to lose was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, precisely in the same studio, and using the same microphones and session musicians as The Beatles at the time when the Fab Four were close to breaking up. The single's B-side Can't Make you Mine was written by Mike McGear of UK act The Scaffold, who in real life is actually Peter McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from making it to the Top 40 charts in the UK and some other European territories, Can't afford to lose occupied the top place in the pop charts in Lebanon for a full month, holding back The Beatles' The Long and Winding Road from reaching the No.1 spot. This led to several tours in Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, Damascus, Iran and the rest of the Emirates, with Lukas sharing top billing alongside major names such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googoosh Googoosh], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_B%C3%A9caud Gilbert Bécaud], Johnny Halliday, Michel Legrand, Mal, Domenico Modugno, Patti Pravo, Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Bananarama, Lisa Stansfield, Level 42 and various other international acts and stars of the Arabic music world. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the start of the 1980s, Jon Lukas formed a close friendship with US soul legend and Grammy Award winner Marvin Gaye, who was at the time living in London and going through a period of personal turmoil. They worked together on a number of ideas and productions, and although these remained largely unfinished, Lukas did release one track in particular, [http://tinyurl.com/6zemfyq Love Hurts], sadly just before Gaye's tragic death in 1984.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1993, Jon Lukas, accompanied by Marita, placed second in that year's Malta Song Contest with the song [http://www.broadjam.com/player/player.php?play_file=49431_395452 Żommni u Għannaqni]. The song marked another first in the singer's career, being the first time he sang in Maltese, the experience of which Lukas has said 'opened a deep feeling of belonging'. The English language version of the song was titled Love We Share and was produced by renowned Indian-British music producer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biddu Biddu] whose track record includes Carl Douglas'[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Fighting Kung Fu Fighting] as well as hits by Tina Charles, Jimmy James and The Real Thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
In 1994 Jon Lukas broke the taboo surrounding HIV/AIDS in Malta by setting up the [http://tinyurl.com/c4qreqz Jon Lukas AIDS Awareness Campaign], to promote awareness and education about the emerging disease. That same year, Lukas organized and participated in a [http://tinyurl.com/5r3cozd Rock Mass] dedicated to his brother Ray, who had died from HIV+ related complications in 1987.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1998, the singer, under the name of Woodenman, his band at the time, made a significant impression by conquering the Peoplesound.com indie music web charts. The band was at No.1 for the entire month of August with the song My Time. Later that year, Lukas suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest, as a result of which he was forced to take a break from music and spend time resting and recovering. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although not so much in the public eye, the singer was still dabbling in music behind the scenes, and in 2007, he was presented with an Effigy Award in Marbella, Spain, where he spent a lot of his time when not in the UK. The award was given to him by ONDA CERO Radio/ABC Network Radio USA for radio airplay in these territories for his 2007 release Far Away, his first under the jon lukas woodenman moniker that he continues to record under to this day. Later that year, he also released a new song, Better man, which like Far away, revealed a <br />
re-energized appetite for music that captured his soulful timbre with a fresh perspective.<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout the larger part of his career, Lukas had rarely visited Malta, except for maybe the odd short break. In early 2009 however, he decided to return for a six-month stretch in order to care for his mother, who had become very ill. While in Malta, he got involved in the local scene, forming part of the judging panel on ONE TV’s talent show [http://tinyurl.com/ck7a5sd ID] and presenting his own distinctive cutting edge radio show, [http://tinyurl.com/5ufnwys woodenman’s jukebox], with the aim of presenting listeners with 'uninterrupted credible music - no talk'. <br />
<br />
<br />
The radio show is still broadcast to this day, and is [http://www.one.com.mt/index.php?id=1929 streamed live] on Fridays at 2045hrs CET (1945hrs UK) on ONE Radio and at [http://www.channelradio.co.uk/ CHANNEL RADIO UK] on Wednesdays at 1900hrs CET (1800hrs UK) with a repeat on Fridays 2200hrs CET (2100hrs UK). Show details and listen on-demand links for all the woodenman's jukebox broadcasts are available on the [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodenmans-jukebox/176021599118074?fref=ts dedicated Facebook page]. Around this time, jonlukaswoodenman was approached by Adrian Saliba of Rewind Productions to write a song, [http://tinyurl.com/c6g3b87 ONE 4 U], for the 2010 Malta Eurosong Contest.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2010, jonlukas woodenman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6baK7DDQ4Q woodenman was diagnosed with lung cancer], which left him without part of one of his lungs. This was followed by a gruelling four month chemotherapy course, the experience of which he shared with his friends and fans via [http://www.facebook.com/pages/jon-lukas-woodenman/13212079403?sk=notes online posts about his cancer treatment on his Facebook page].<br />
<br />
<br />
In August 2010 a personal tribute by Winter Moods (Malta's biggest band of its music history) was given towoodenman during their 10.000 audience attended concert ..... an historical gross attendance first, considering the size of this small Island. <br />
<br />
In May 2011 his [http://tinyurl.com/cbfklb5 first post-cancer live appearance] courtesy of Winter Moods in tribute concert. He also featured in the [http://tinyurl.com/c3d8elo TVM's biography about Winter Moods]. <br />
<br />
<br />
His involvement, along with meeting some of the movers and shakers of the Maltese music scene introduced him to the abundance of activity and talent that the island had to offer. In fact, apart from recording his radio shows, the schedule of his visits to Malta, now more frequent, also includes taking in a number of live music events that happen on the island.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{cleanup}} __NOTOC__<br />
'''Duo Blank''' are a Maltese electronic music group, and the principal name under which musicians [[Edwin Balzan]] and [[Frank Cachia]] have recorded together since 1998. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
=== Pre-Duo Blank years: 1990–1997 ===<br />
<br />
[[Edwin Balzan]] and [[Frank Cachia]] actually started collaborating together in 1990 joining up with [[Jotham Saliba]] on vocals and Pierre Farrugia on synthesizers to record their first demo tape at [[Wave Studios]] under the name Q-Factory Incorporated. Being pioneers in electronic dance oriented pop in Malta at the time, this demo recordings landed them an offer to perform a song composed by Wave Studios co-owner [[Dominic Galea]] at the Festival tal-Kanzunetta ghall-Ewropa 1992. <br />
<br />
Balzan, Cachia and Saliba continued to record more demos throughout the period 1993 till 1995 during which their style developed more from pop to Italo Dance.<br />
In 1995, under the project name [[Web]], the trio released their first international single entitled 'Amazing' with the Italian Record Label Discomagic featuring [[Doreen Galea]] on vocals and dj's [[Manuel Bella]] and Andrea de Benedetto. In 1996, Balzan, Bella, Cachia and Saliba continued working together on an unreleased single featuring Bella's mother [[Carmen Scerry]] on vocals - this would end up to be the last project involving the duo with Saliba and Bella. In the following year, Balzan and Cachia teamed up with DJ David Dee producing various deep house singles which were later released under the [[Semitic Groove Foundation]] pseudonym.<br />
<br />
=== First album and international techno release: 1998–1999 ===<br />
<br />
[[Edwin Balzan]] and [[Frank Cachia]] actually established the Duo Blank name when signing the credits in composition and production of four tracks they produced together with DJ / producer Owen Bezzina better known as [[Owen Jay]]. Together with Bezzina, the duo produced the tracks Soyuz 1.01, Where's the Duck, Tokyo Underground and Metal Corrosion. Thanks to this project, Duo Blank's track Soyuz 1.01 would feature in their first international techno release thanks to one of German dj's Chris Liebing's first visits to Malta - the release entitled 'Hydraulic Blast EP' would be released under the German Label sOk under catalogue number sOk 14.<br />
<br />
Duo Blank would release their 1999 album [[Hectic Electric]] under their own record label [[Noise Alliance]].<br />
<br />
=== More international techno releases: 2000–2003 ===<br />
<br />
Duo Blank would go on to release several international ep's between 2000 and 2003, one with German DJ Toni Rios on this label Danza Electronica, another with Belgian djs/producers Marco Bailey and Redhead on Invasion Records in 2001 and their first vinyl release on their own label Noise Alliance entitled 'Ain't No News EP' in 2003.<br />
<br />
=== Touring the live circuit - releasing a live album: 1999–2003 ===<br />
<br />
[[Edwin Balzan]] and [[Frank Cachia]] were the most active live act in the busy Maltese techno event scene between the period 1999 till 2003. The duo's energetic techno sets compounded with live Roland TR909 rhythms and synthesizer sounds generated a Doepfer A100 modular via antenna controller would warm up for the likes of major techno dj's and artists such as Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Ben Sims, Marco Bailey, Redhead, The Gadgets and many more. The duo summed up this busy live period in a live album entitled [[Transmission - Live at Nova]] released in 2002 under their own [[Noise Alliance]] label.<br />
<br />
=== Bringing back the electronic roots: 2005–2009 ===<br />
<br />
[[Edwin Balzan]] and [[Frank Cachia]] played relatively few gigs in the period 2005 till 2007 during which they remixed various Maltese artists and shifted their style from techno to house and elecro. Testimony to this was their own label's second international vinyl release entitled [[Take More Control EP]]. This was a period where the duo took over an old vinyl record shop at Qormi (Fused DJing) and started a music production school whilst continuing to build on their extensive vintage synthesizer, drum machine and computer collection.<br />
<br />
=== Hooked on the eighties - the making of Propulsion: 2010–2012 ===<br />
<br />
Duo Blank set about producing an eighties themed single entitled [[Stars on Mars]] in 2010 and eventually a studio album released in 2012 entitled [[Propulsion]]. The album featured singers Ira Losco, The Ophidian Twin and Karen Cachia. During this period the duo setup an interactive live setup whilst involving also graphic designer Yanov Cutajar in their album, animations, artwork, props and video branding. In 2012 the duo teamed up with 2diffusedpix to produce a video for their Stars on Mars single and an interview about their album and live act.<br />
<br />
Throughout 2012 and 2013 the duo continue touring promoting the Propulsion album showcasing synchronised lighting, live vocoding and a mix of contemporary and vintage music equipment.<br />
<br />
=== Current activity: 2013–present ===<br />
<br />
Throughout the period 2013 the duo regularly issued mixes on their Soundcloud channel with contrasting contributions from Frank and Edwin - the former contributing mixes covering contemporary material whilst the later focusing on source electronic material from reknowned and also obscure electronic music artists. In 2013 the duo also contributed to releases of other projects namely Lahmar and Frank Blank who released digital material on their Noise Alliance label. Duo Blank are currently preparing material for forthcoming electronic dance music releases and are set to start working on their forthcoming themed album.`<br />
<br />
=== Awards ===<br />
<br />
Duo Blank have been awarded various times locally and (indirectly) internationally. The first award being international when they contributed to the soundtrack of the short movie entitled 'Genesis' which won Best Soundtrack in the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival of 2001. Other local awards include: Best Dance Live PA act in 2002, Best Techno Act in 2005 and Career Recognition Award at the Malta Music Awards in 2013.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Aldo Busuttil''' was born on 16 th June,1981. As from a very young age he was immediately exposed to music and arts. At the age of ten he began to study the clarinet, following in the meantime his father’s footsteps as an artist. However, his passion for painting was overtaken by something else as soon as he heard Andrea Bocelli singing [['Con te partirò.']] Fascinated by the power of the Italian tenor’s singing, he then turned to discover his true passion. At nineteen he started studying voice technique while formed part of the [[Amadeus Chamber Choir]] conducted by [[Brian Cefai]].<br />
<br />
He made his debut as solo artist at the University of Malta Students’ Festival in 2001. Furthermore, he became a regular performer on Maltese television and radio stations. He sang in several Maltese events: [[Malta Volleyball Marathon]], [[Malta Independence Day Festivities]], the celebration of the [[First Anniversary of Malta in the European Union]], the [[Malta Fire Work Festival]], the [[Heart of Gold Festival]], the [[Malta Song for Europe Festival]] and the annual festival of the Malta General Workers Union [['F'Għaqda il-Melodija']]. In this latter performance he sang [['Via Crucis']] and was chosen to represent Malta in the festival [['Il Tralcio d’Oro']] in Mariotto (Bari) Italy, televised by the Italian satellite station Telenova.<br />
<br />
His first promotional album [['The Wedding']] was issued in 2002, followed in 2004 by [['The Voice of Love']] which contains pop-classical songs by Maltese composers and cover versions of Bocelli’s songs. <br />
<br />
In 2004 he made his first appearance as a guest singer in the Malta Song for Europe Festival which chooses the Maltese representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. He competed twice in this festival with the songs [['Addio Ciao']] (2005) and [['Tonight at the Opera']] (2009), written by [[Ralph Siegel]] and [[John O’Flynn]], and managed to gain the fifth place in both times.<br />
<br />
He continued his vocal training with [[Alice Horne]], the founder and coach of the Malta Opera Company. Since 2005 he has been studying under the soprano [[Antoinette Miggiani]]. In 2009 he was accepted to study under the supervision of Mro. Vincenzo Manno, a tenor of the Accademia d’Arti e Mestieri dello Spettacolo – Teatro alla Scala of Milan.<br />
<br />
This young lyric tenor has performed for personalities, adult and young audiences in Malta and abroad. His versatile repertoire ranges from opera to musicals and pop, including Neapolitan songs. He holds a Bachelor Degree in Communication Studies and in the Maltese language from the University of Malta.<br />

<div>'''Elektronika''' is a research project that aims to develop a historiography of electronic music in Malta. This project was developed from ongoing collaboration between the M3P Foundation and [[Electronic Music Malta]].<br />
<br />
The project was launched on Wednesday 21 October 2020 during [[Circuits]] at [[Spazju Kreattiv]]. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xskalmTkOgU launch event] featured a presentation by [[Michael Bugeja]] with a running commentary by [[Toni Sant]], moderated by [[Edwin Balzan]].<br />
<br />
Below is a working list of electronic bands and artists from Malta or with a Maltese connection, which we hope to expand on by inviting contributions and suggestions from anyone in possession of information, recordings, newspaper and magazine cuttings, visuals, flyers, posters, etc and/or any other object that can help this project reach its goal. <br />
