P.I.F. (band)

P.I.F. is a Bulgarian alternative rock band with lead singer Dimo Stoyanov, known as Dimo. During the 1990s inspired by the grunge sound Dimo and Ivan (guitarist), the core of band, found "Resemblance" with musicians from later formed group Crowfish. In 1992 they had already created around 40 records in English. They even lived in Hungary and held performances there for a month. After that period they decided to return to Bulgaria and try singing in their mother language. They moved to the capital - Sofia - and Resemblance fell apart. Pavlin Bachvarov(pianist), Valeri Cenkov(drummer), and Emilian Bonev(bassist) joined Dimo and Ivan. It was then that P.I.F. was born.

Patriots In Fashion

In 2000 their first album P.I.F.(Patriots In Fashion) is released. The song called Prikazka (in Bulgarian Приказка) became an unprecedented hit. Since then they gain many fans with numerous songs from this album such as- Kolelo (Колело), Vali (Вали), Patuvane (Пътуване), Nevidimo Dete (Невидимо Дете), Kambanite (Камбаните). Each song has its own history and Dimo often tells it to the public at their live performances. Patriots In Fashion won an award for Best Album Of The Year the same year it was released.

I-F

I-f (also Interr-Ference) is the stage name of Ferenc E. van der Sluijs, a Dutch producer and DJ based in The Hague. He is a former member of the Dutch techno-pioneers Unit Moebius.

Overview

In 1997, he produced the track "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass" (referencing the video game Space Invaders), which became a huge underground dance hit and is often cited as an early example of electroclash. It introduced "old-fashioned verse-chorus dynamics to burbling electro in a vocodered homage to Atari-era hi-jinks" and is the "record widely credited with catalysing" the electroclash movement.

The album Fucking Consumer was released in 1998 on the Disko B label, followed by The Man From Pack the next year. In 1999 he also made the mixed album Mixed Up In the Hague Vol. 1, which has been cited by many, including Morgan Geist, as being the catalyst that brought renewed interest in Italo disco.

I-f was featured on the seminal 2002 Ghostly International compilation Disco Nouveau. He has also recorded as The Parallax Corporation with Intergalactic Gary. I-f currently runs a record label called Viewlexx. He also ran the internet radio station Cybernetic Broadcasting System (CBS). It was closed down in 2008 but is now one of four channels on Intergalactic FM, which is also operated by I-f.

History

2006, 2007 and 2008

At the end of the 2006 season, the club was relegated from the top league, Formuladeildin. In October 2007 the club was again promoted to the top flight, Formuladeildin. The team had some difficulties this season, not by adjusting to Formuladeildin, but because the first team coach, Jón Simonsen, had to quit his job during the pre-season. Then ÍF hired old legend and Champion of the 1979 team, Abraham Løkin Hansen, to take care of the team until a new coach was hired. Late in April the third coach this season arrived. As the new headcoach of ÍF was another old legend from the late seventees, David R. Jones was hired. Even though the team have had 3 coaches during this season and are newly promoted, they ended at a comfortable 6th place after the first half of the season. After two lost matches in the second half of the 2008 season, ÍF hired coach number 4 that season. The new coach was called Albert Ellefsen and is the former coach at HB Tórshavn. Albert Ellefsen has won the faroese championship 2 times with HB Tórshavn and is also coaching the U19 and U21 national team with Abraham Løkin Hansen. ÍF also used the transfer market during its opening in June and July. First Helgi L. Petersen was brought in from Fram Tórshavn and close to the end of the transfer opening ÍF bought Andy Olsen for an undisclosed fee from NSÍ. ÍF also lost one player during the transfer window opening. Dánjal Pauli Højgaard left to his hometown club in Toftir, B68 Toftir. ÍF finished 7th in their first season back in the top flight.
