Biography [link]

Randy Katana originally came from the Dutch Antillean Islands (Aruba, Curaçao and St Martin), where for many years he worked as resident DJ at many of the trendiest clubs on the Islands. He also spend many years playing drums in Brass Bands, which on the islands where specialized in Carnival music. This is where Randy acquired the Latin tribal soul that he projects in his music today.

Shortly after moving to Amsterdam in 1988 he started his own record company BPM Dance, and opened one of the most successful online vinyl shops till this day: Only-Djs.com. January 2003 he stopped the company activities and decided to become a full-time DJ. By the end of the year he became resident DJ to “Xtra Large” (Marcanty Plaza) and “Crazyland” in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Within two years he made his debut in the DJ Mag top 100 list at position 150 (2005).^[1] By the end of 2007 Randy released his first album called ”Spirit Of The Drums” accompanied by a large release party during which he gave a live drum show together with a drum band.

From November 2008 to March 2009 he produced enough music to release a whole album, but did not play any of the tracks until one of them leaked and became a Hype in the Netherlands. Randy Katana's "The Hype" was released in the summer of 2009. Additionally his record company released his first Beatport Trance number one hit "You & I". The massive Doorn Records release soon was used as intro track for DJ's around the world, including Sander van Doorn, Armin van Buuren and Tiësto. in October 2009 Randy Katana released "DERP", which is the perfect example of the new sound of Randy Katana.^[2]

Milady 3000

Milady 3000 (Italian: Milady nel 3000) is an Italian comic series featuring an eponymous character, created in 1980 by Magnus for the magazine Il Mago. The series continued until 1984 (also in the magazine Eureka), and was later published in France (in Métal Hurlant), in the United States (in Heavy Metal), in Belgium and Spain.

Synopsis

Milady is Paulina Zumo, a haughty Imperial Colonel and countess of the Zumo dynasty. Her stories, set in 3000 AD, are a science fiction mixture of many influences: these include Old Chinese costumes, Italian Renaissance intrigues, and hyper-technological environments. Magnus maintained he was also inspired by Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon for the series.

In her adventures, Milady is assisted by Uèr, an electro-chemical android who is desperately in love with her, in spite of Milady's repeated, contemptuous refusals.

Satiric misspelling

A satiric misspelling is an intentional misspelling of a word, phrase or name for a rhetorical purpose. This is often done by replacing a letter with another letter (for example, k replacing c), or symbol (for example, $ replacing s, @ replacing a, or ¢ replacing c). Satiric misspelling is found particularly in informal writing on the Internet, but can also be found in some serious political writing that opposes the status quo.

K replacing c

Replacing the letter c with k in the first letter of a word came into use by the Ku Klux Klan during its early years in the mid-to-late 19th century. The concept is continued today within the group.

In the 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, leftists, particularly the Yippies, sometimes used Amerika rather than America in referring to the United States. It is still used as a political statement today. It is likely that this was originally an allusion to the German spelling of the word, and intended to be suggestive of Nazism, a hypothesis that the Oxford English Dictionary supports.
