DJ TLR Biography :

Founder of Crème Organization, one of the most respected underground labels in the world...

Produced artists like : Africans With Mainframes, Alexander Robotnick, Arnold Jarvis, Aux 88, Avida, Bangkok Impact, Beta Evers, Cosmic Force, D'Marc Cantu, Dan Physics, David Kristian, DMX Krew, Ectomorph, Faceless Mind, Francesco Clemente, Galaxy Toobin Gang, Godspill, Hakan Lidbo, Hieroglyphic Being, IBM, It & My Computer, James White, JTC, Kassen, Keith Tucker, Keyo Laboratories, Monkeyshop, Mr Clavio, Lee Douglas, Legowelt, Leroy & the Black Diaspora, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Lolita Strap, Lowfish, Luke Eargoggle, Marcus Mixx, Music Cargo, Nami Shimada, Nicolas Courtin, Omni Incentive, Orgue Electronique, Plastic Sleeves, Polarius, Polygamy Boys, Porn Darsteller, Pussycat, Raheem Hershel, RA-X, Red & White Rose, Redshape, Rude 66, Schmerzlabor, Sendex, Sneak-Thief, Spoiler Jugend, Terry Toner, The Jak, Tthe Minister, TLR, Traxx, Unit 4, Urban Tribe, Wolfram, X2, XXArt/VeXaTioN ...

In 1989, at the same time Chicago Acid hit his hometown in the form of DJ Cosmo at Hotel De Ville, TLR - forever torn between worlds - was playing punk and early hiphop in local youth homes where asbestos was seeping through the pores. This erratic DJ career got more direction in the mid 90's when Global Darkness was founded. He became involved in organising underground Jungle parties in the totally freaked out and fucked up squat scene of the West Coast of Holland area; filled with fundamentalists, attention junkies, substance abusers, genetic experiments gone wrong and legions of crustie tekno travellers (like SP23) looking for an easy buck in the flower industry and an escape from the 1994 Criminal Justice Act.

In the late 90´s - when Jungle had died a horrible death in Drum & Bass - the first wave of The Hague electronics knocked him off his socks when Guy Tavares of Unit Moebius gave him some records of I-F, Pametex and Electronome. Their tense and narrative style was far removed from the mind numbing lifestyle crap that dominated the airwaves. It instantly brought back a love for electro that had been dormant in him since the mid 80's. When introduced to the hidden treasures in the Clone recordshop (then housed in a small and dark backroom of Rotterdam´s Urban Unit) matters really got out of hand.

In 1998 the Bunker label rose from its own ashes and the original Global Darkness crew went separate ways. He made the skeleton for www.bunker-records.com and started www.globaldarkness.com, which grew into one of the most consistent electro/disco refference points. Two years later TLR and fellow dirty brown loser DJ Schmerzlabor figured it might be a good idea to pretend there was a "Bunker Records Dirty Brown World Tour" to see who they could fool. They invited Legowelt & Orgue Electronique (at that time one of the few Bunker live acts) along to spread the dirty brown gospel.

The Bunker Team was a fact and he slowly rediscovered the Freewave pirate radio Italo/disco sounds of his childhood through the mixes of I-F and sunday afternoon sessions in the luxurious apartments of Legowelt and Orgue Electronique listening to old WBMX tapes and playing obscure records.

By the end of 2001 the Crème Organization was born. What started out as a little playground for Mr Clavio soon grew to more serious proportions with releases of Lolita Strap, Bangkok Impact and It & My Computer, Legowelt, Orgue Electronique, Alexander Robotnick and a slew of others. Crème Organization has been releasing on a rigorous schedule and quickly gained a cult following. In short, shit dun blew up. Some highlights include multiple tours of the USA, Japan and Australia and a spot for the label on the Musiclogical stage at FUSE-IN Detroit 2005

In 2006 Crème Org has further strengtened its ties wih the American Nation of Jak, by hooking up with artists like Traxx, JTC (James Cotton) and Hieroglyphic Being. 2006 also saw the release of the Robert Moog Tribute CD, a benefit release for the Dystopia project (an independent cultural centre in The Hague) with contributions from a selection of the worlds leading electronic musicians.

/////Feedback:

-Review in Igloo Magazine:
"The Brussels electro disco confectionery store, Disco Praline, are once again opening their doors. This time a new electrified disco sweet from Paris has been discovered, Kelton Prima. Kelton Prima, aka, Malcolm D., has been swimming in the electronic currents for a number of years, focusing on house and techno sounds. After a hiatus of two years he is back with The Arrival.
"Disco Tonic" meets the Stanton 500 first. The track starts out in electro Disco Praline fashion, with classic drum beats, but takes a turn as Kelton Prima pushes his analogue lines with twists and rapid contortions to bring a new feel. Just as the listener is settling disco diva samples land to bring a new dimension to this dancefloor stomper. Rumbling synths usher in "Disco Megalo." The dancefloor stays electrified as Kelton Prima builds layers of analogue energy and disco leanings to produce a very DJ friendly reverberating work of furturistico Studio 54 action.
The B-Side transforms Kelton Prima into a remixer as he takes on Starlight Boyz in "Machine Disco (Comiga 500 Mix)." The addictive electro disco of the Starlight Boyz immediately comes through, with Kelton Prima keeping the Belgian duos soundtrack but tweaking it to his own musings. The Parisian keeps the vocoders of the original, but he injects more machine vigor to produce a pretty savage dancefloor piece; it even has a crowd pleasing break! The shortest track of the 12" ends the show, "Night Ridin'." The tempo is lowered for this piece, a slow funky disco work that seems a little difficult to place on the record.
On listening to The Arrival it is a little difficult to see where it fits with Disco Praline. The record label's past three releases are modern energy packed electro disco works, with Odessa lowering the pitch but keeping the passion. Kelton Prima is in a similar vein, but just seems to lean a little bit more towards an Eskimo sound. The Arrival sees Disco Praline stepping into a different disco pathway, departing on a new journey and arriving at new ground. It is a brave outing, but one that this 12" adds its own courage to."
