OK CORRAL

/BIO/

OK Corral is a Romanian electronic music project established by Vania, Thornado & Midy. However, only Vania & Thornado appear live, Midy being much more present in the studio work.  They also manage their own record label, groove ++ recordings.

The first Vania & Midy EP, Friction Addiction EP, was also the first release of groove++ recordings and was supported by Magda, Marco G, Christian Fischer, Fergie and others.  The first EP under the alias of OK Corral was Anakin EP, an EP containing two tracks, Anakin and Sandscape.  Anakin is the musical story of the death of Anakin Skywalker and the birth of Darth Vader, while Sandscape is a musical landscape  of the endless deserts of Tatooine. The Anakin EP received a lot of support, especially for the track Sandscape, which was played by artists like Christian Smith, Paul Nazca, Taho and Laurent Garnier and was featured on 2008’s Laurent Garnier’s mix on Resident Advisor (RA 107).

Ok corral – Selectro by  djthornado

Aside from the OK Corral productions, Vania & Thornado are also very experienced and versatile DJs, being two of Romania’s top DJs. They have played with and opened up for Above & Beyond, Adam Beyer, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Chistian Fischer, Fatboy Slim, Fergie, Hernan Cattaneo, Hybrid, James Holden, Johannes Heil, Jody Wisternoff (of Way Out West), Josh Wink, Kenny Larkin, Lutzenkirchen, Michel de Hey, Ozgur Can, Paul van Dyk, The Filterheadz, The MFA, Tiesto, Timo Maas, Umek and are most proud of opening for Jeff Mills’ first DJ set in Romania, for Juan Atkins’ first DJ set in Romania, for Fatboy’s Slim’s first party in Romania and especially for the first Depeche Mode concert in Romania.

Their style as DJs is very eclectic and they love to adjust to all the details that make up a party. Their unique choice of music and also the very special way of playing back to back makes OK Corral one of the most spectacular DJ acts Romania has to offer.

Harvey Three Face is a promotional made out of three CDs, with three different musical sides, that makes OK Corral the most eclectic and diverse DJ group in Romania.

Organic side is more house oriented, very suitable for clubs that prefer the “commercial” side of electronic music.

Electric Side is the electro piece of this unique mix, especially made for those who are still hung up with the `80z.

Mechanic side is the missing piece in the puzzle made by OK Corral. Mechanic side presents the new style of techno that keeps the old school sound, but does not ignore the new wave of producers from 2008.
