Ursula 1000

Ursula 1000

Ursula 1000 is Brooklyn's Alex Gimeno. The Producer/DJ has been labeled Loungecore, Breakbeat and Digital Dancehall (to name just a few). He's done remixes for artists such as Quincy Jones and Felix Da Housecat and collaborated with the likes of Dr. Luke, Shag, Cristina and Los Amigos Invisibles.

He's produced "television remodels" for theme music to television shows such as Sesame Street and The Powerpuff Girls and had his music featured in programs such as Sex And The City, Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty (not to mention commercial work for companies such as AT&T and Adidas).

I found him on the compilation, "Bombay The Hard Way 2: Electric Vindaloo," which was the follow up to "Bombay The Hard Way," also featuring an Ursula 1000 track. Motel Records released both albums, wherein all the artists were sampling from Bollywood films. Check out "Electric Vindaloo" HERE. Ursula 1000 is also on Myspace. Check that out HERE.

Without further ado, here's the SAR Q&A with Ursula 1000...
