Dear Readers, Back in December I was announcing that BiP_HOp had been nominated by Qwartz Awards In Electronic Music in the categories "Best compilation" (BiP_HOp Generation 8) & "Best song" (Same Actor) I was asking you to support and vote for us Over the WE took place the Qwartz ceremony and to my great surprise BiP_HOp Generation v.8 has been Qwartz-awarded best compilation in 2006 According to the organisers we won because their jury loved the record but most of everything because a large amount of people click-voted for us, so allow me to THANK those of you who did Staubgold was Qwartz-awarded best label in 2006 which pleased me as I consider it to be an amazing brand Synch (Greece) + Nuits Sonores (Lyon) got Qwartz-awarded best festivals in 2006, and again that is a much deserved distinction On Thursday I shared stage with Leafcutter John, Marsen Juhls... Also played over the WE Si-cut.db, Markus Detmer from Staubgold, FM3... and several others... So as you could imagine that was a pleasant WE in Paris Hav a nice week philippe www.bip-hop.com PS: for those who might have forgotten...
