...so who the heck is ANDREZ BERGEN, anyway?
Andrez is an expat Australian freelance music,
movie and anime journalist, photographer, DJ, record
label head honcho, and experimental electronic music
producer who's been based in Tokyo over the past 4
years....
He's also lived in London and traveled extensively
around the globe, and during the course of a decade of
journalism has interviewed people as far afield as
Kraftwerk, Jeff Mills, Coldcut, Genesis P. Orridge
(from industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle), and
Mamoru Oshii (director of the anime classic "Ghost In
The Shell")....
His writing has appeared in newspapers like The Age in
Australia and The Daily Yomiuri in Japan, along with
magazines like the UK's Mixmag, Vice (Australia), Wax
(UK), Australian Style, Remix, Juice, Oyster, and
Anime Insider in New York....
Over the past decade Andrez has also worked as a DJ
and music producer, and helmed his own radio show
'Cyberdada' on Melbourne station PBS-FM for seven
years from 1994....
...and what about LITTLE NOBODY...?
Andrez kick-started his soundsystem project Little
Nobody in 1997 with debut track "Nobody's Driving" on
the critically acclaimed Australian compilation
'Zeitgeist 3', alongside people like Voiteck,
Honeysmack and Zen Paradox....
The project's perimeters were a far-reaching
hotch-potch of styles from dub and jazz to cut-up
sampling, hip hop references, disco-chic, and
electro-clash ramifications...
Constantly morphing along the way, Little Nobody has
since produced three albums and an EP for innovative
Australian record label IF?, along with a remix single
release ('Bare') which was adjudged Single Of The Week
in Melbourne's Beat magazine in 2001....
Through Stockholm-based label Fitja he's cut four EPs,
and has had tracks released on a wad of international
compilations....
Little Nobody's album 'Action Hero' was one of the 4
final nominees for Best Album Of The Year in the 2001
Australian Dance Music Awards (the Avalanches were the
eventual winner)....
He's currently working on his fouth album called
'Eating the Heart Of The Fishes', all of which has
been produced in Tokyo....
His music has been remixed by a plethora of
international producers - from Noodles man Si Begg in
London to Chicago's DJ Rush, Tokyo's Magnet Toy to
Amsterdam's Vocoderman, and Berlin's Brixton to
Parisian enfant terrible Tal....
He's toured Japan, the UK, the USA, Hong Kong, Canada, China, and
the Netherlands - not to mention extensively around
Australia....
