On March 2010 DJAM contacts SABBY to give him an exclusive MOB interview:
[image]
- What is your name? Where are you from? And where are you currently residing? I am Sabby Rayas, born Sebastian Rayas Jr. I grew up in the East part of Los Angeles, near Montebello, California. Currently I live in Colts Country (Indiana), USA but I have lived in Sin City, Nevada and also spent some time in Mexico City.
- How long have you've been in music? Do you produce your own tracks? If no, who? "Music has been in my blood since I was a child. I was always hearing songs from every direction in my home. My mom played her cumbias and danzones and my older siblings would listen to everything the 60’s had to offer. Motown, Psychedelic, Pop, Chicano Soul, you name it, but always good music. While I grew up, I think it helped in my musical upbringing to understand song structure. Tower of Power, The Isley Bros, Parliament and then Disco hit me like a lightning Bolt. I have been writing and producing since 1985 and enjoying it."
[image]
- Who or what was your biggest influence to get you into music? "My biggest inspirations were Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Devo, Maurice White, Bobby Orlando, KC & The Sunshine Band, Heatwave, Average White Band and anything that sounded unique."
- Who have been your biggest supporters? I have to owe it to the Southern California DJ’s. Everyone involved with Disco and Hi-NRG. DJ Frank Del Rio always played my tunes and then others would hear when they went to Circus Night Club (LA), Pebo Rodriguez was a big supporter especially with “Too Tuff To Cry” but, Lucky Pierre (KUTE 102) was responsible for connecting me with JD Hall and Ted Ray from Sheik Records and Tom Hayden at TSR Records and getting the record “Crazy Over You” on the radio. Most of my support came from the music lovers and the party scene. The promoters and all the Disco Headz (too many to name) but from everywhere, San Fernando, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Mexico. Mexico has some great Disco and Hi –NRG Headz, very serious when it comes to Disco and Hi- NRG.
[image]
- What is your latest album or single? Well, since I went on my personal hiatus. I still continued to write, even though I didn’t have any commercial releases. I started getting the itch again, and looked at all my unfinished stuff. I revamped some things here and there and tried new sounds. I put a CD together called “Sad Goo, Happy Goo” which was some experimental trips, then took that and put another CD together that is mainly the best of that called “El Sabbadeus, Especial”.
- What was your aim for this single or album? These are the tracks DJ’s might have, really it’s not my newer stuff, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I’m now working daily to start popping things out like crazy. Another thing is my Special Collector’s Vinyl “Experience In Dance” which includes some nice tracks like the S.A.Y. Redoux - “Do You Wanna Dance”, “Quiero Bailar” and “Inna Gadda Da Vida” and six other tracks. These are only available through my website www.sabbyrayas.com
[image]
- Was this your first project? If no, how many other projects have you done? Have you also collaborated with other Artists? If no, would you like to? If yes, with whom? No, not my first. If you were around Los Angeles, Southern California, Mexico and Florida during the 80’s; chances were, you heard one of my tunes. “Crazy Over You”, “Friday Night”, “Be My Delight”, “Sweet Fantasy”, “Too Tuff To Cry”, “Bad Love”, “No. 1 Lover” and many more. I've had the pleasure to work with Luther Vandross, Marlon Jackson, Cherelle, Robert Palmer, Steve Beltran, Jeff Lorber, Paul Shafer, Paula Abdul and After 7.
- How much work and sacrifice was put into completing this project? I would have to say a lot of sacrifice went into this with a lot of soul searching.
[image]
- Which are the tracks you had fun with in this production? Tell us why? I really like “Feel the Vibe”. It reminded me of those tracks like Brass Construction, grooves I would listen to over and over. I also like “Jesuit Chant” and “I Want U”. “Shake That Asset” reminds me of those old Pop Lockin’ tunes the Lockers used to dance too. I can see Shabba Doo doing his moves when I listen to that track.
- Which are the tracks that really mean something to you in a personal level? I like “Jesuit Chant”, “Fallen” and “Highway 1”.
[image]
- Which are the tracks that you are simply experimenting with or trying something new? I think “Shake That Asset” is experimental; I have been criticized for it because it’s not your typical SABBY style tune.
- Are your tracks getting aired on the mix shows, radio, or other? If yes, by whom? If no, would you like for MOB DJs to pick your single up for their next mixshow project? Honestly, I’m all new to this whole Internet thang. I’m still farting around on MySpace and some of the Disco sites. I don’t have a clue where to connect to any Radio shows, but everyday is a learning experience and friends have helped me with some knowledge. I’m just overwhelmed with all this Technology. I do have my website www.sabbyrayas.com and it is the top site if you Google my name. That’s a good thing if someone is looking for my stuff. It doesn’t have all those flash features, but it has info. MOB DJ’s are welcome to use my posted tracks and can purchase even more on my website.
[image]
- Who is your favorite current recording artist or band at the moment? Why? I don’t know; some of the stuff I listen to is probably old. I still like Retro trips. I got into Fela Kuti and Down to the Bone. Then I listened to Frank Zappa A to Z, you know The Mothers. I still like Prince and was heartbroken when Michael Jackson died. I haven’t stopped listening to his stuff especially: The Jackson’s Destiny and Triumph. I also listen to Michael Jackson’s Invincible. I listen to French Electronic, Kraftwerk and I love Old Ska, like Madness and the Specials, plus anything on the Salsoul label.
- In your own words, what is your music all about? I think it’s a combination of 80’s Hi-NRG with Post Modern Electro noises. I can’t do the House thing or Hip Hop so I’ll call it Mudd or Electro Slurp or Disco-Yuck!!!! Maybe Disney Brainwash?
[image]
- If you could change how the music industry does things, what would you change? Is this a trick question? I guess it doesn’t matter because most people listen to what’s force fed to them. I like the Disco Underground and I also like how many true fans still collect Vinyl. The music biz has never been true to what should be out there. It’s all Corporate. The Independents have always made things happen…The Revolution!
[image]
- How difficult or easy has it been for you to make the right connections to get your music aired? It’s difficult. I used to rely on Promo people that the labels had. Now, I have to rely on my history. In Mexico, the people are great and have several networks that have come to me, they are very supportive. In Los Angeles my new stuff hasn’t caught on, yet.
[image]
- Tell us a current day in your life as an Artist? What tasks do you do to get closer to your goals? It’s a lot harder with a family now, but I do work in my Studio for at least an hour and a half daily. Trying new things and Re-Editing my material.
- What do you see yourself doing in the next 5 years? The biggest reason I stopped recording was because I burnt out of the monotony the music business was pumping out in all genres. I began to paint and write screenplays. I have four full length scripts and many more short stories. Feature Film is my next venture. I think I have some great stories to tell.
[image]
- Tell us a little more about yourself, what are your interests? Likes and dislikes? Another trick question? Gee, where do I start? Okay, first I’m not a ritualistic sports fan. I hate action movies, stupid teen horror movies. Although, I do like the Final Destination series. I don’t like American Idol or most of those Reality shows. I hate Wipe Out. I’m a big fan of Dexter, I miss the Sopranos. I dig the Big Lebowski. I like Most Extreme Elimination with Kenny Blakenship and Vic Romano. I love old Looney Tunes, Bob Clampett and Frank Tash animation. Love old Daffy Duck back when he was “Daffy” not when he was grouchy and playing sidekick to Bugs Bunny. I love the Three Stooges with “Shemp” but like “Curly” too. I enjoy Benny Hill, Monty Python and old Saturday Night Live. Love the 80’s and 90’s Las Vegas but hate the new Mega-Vegas. How’s that? … SABBY aka El Sabbadeus

As you may have heard, we had a very strong 8.8 magnitude Earthquake on February 27 that had a great impact on the southern region of my country.
Many little towns where destroyed by the earthquake and the tsunami and as today there are a lot of people, mostly poor, without water, food or shelter.
I found this post of ways that you can help donating money for Chile, the worldwide response has been wonderful, but there is always more than can be done.
Me and my family are all ok, we didn't suffer human nor material losses, because we live in santiago.

Help Chile Overcome the Earthquake
Chile stepped up efforts to find survivors of an earthquake registering 8.8 magnitude that struck before dawn yesterday, killing more than 700 people, severing the country’s main highway and damaging 1.5 million homes.
The eartquake was centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region and close to Concepcion, a metropolitan region of more than 500,000 people. Highways and airports were shut by damage and some copper mines closed. The total economic damage may be as much as $30 billion, or about 15 percent of the South American country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates by disaster- scenario modeler Eqecat Inc.
We need your help to overcome the earthquake.

| Was booked for a gig, until the promoter was thrown in jail |

I thought I would share the following story. Maybe something like this has happened to you before.
I was contacted by a Promoter/DJ regarding booking me for an event next month. I had sent him the booking contract, which he had signed and returned. All that was left was the deposit for the gig. However, I did not hear from him in over a week. I tried calling and sending e-mails to him. Finally, I went on Facebook to his profile and noticed that he had not posted any activity for the last two weeks. I did notice a strange post by one of his "friends" on his wall that said something like "he's not getting out of jail soon". I did contact that friend to get some more info. That same day I get an e-mail from a relative of the promoter explaining that the promoter wanted to relay the message that the event was cancelled and gave a vague reason that it was due to a "license" issue and that he'll be in contact after he comes back from vacation. Later that Facebook contact that I had contacted earlier came back and confirmed that the promoter was indeed sitting in a jail cell somewhere. 
So I won't be playing that gig. I decided that even though he did sign a contract with me, that extraordinary circumstances are preventing this event from happening. Since this event was occuring during the week I did not lose out on my regular gigs. Has anything like this ever happened to you?
