dub has penetrated various musical systems like a virus - they are still
going their own ways. the small yet dope berlin label meteosound (in collaboration
with select cuts label) is bringing the variety of dub-infected musical
forms back together: a spectrum of echoed crispy electronica berlin style
that continues to reach as far as the jamaican and reggae tinted dub of
a rootsman. two boundaries within one label? - and yet it will continue.
this 12inch series on vinyl will capture quite diverse current productions
(in dub), which continues here with part 4 featuring remixes by THOMAS
FEHLMANN and PHON.O.
"delaware" is a very rare tune: charming and roughly produced
on the bounderies of dub and hip hop, showing MONKEYTRIBE"s MC SOOM-T
and her big talent - rapping and singing, lyrics and poetry. MONKEYTRIBE
are a really rare crew, good and plenty. the remix by THOMAS FEHLMANN
is a favorite hiphop remix, international, slowely and hitting. PHON.O
strikes back on an uptempo funky remix - "phon.keytribe" stuff.
B-side"s "tribal vibe" is bringing back the singer MC SOOM-T
on a hippy dubbing track. glasgowian hip hop on a berlin dub electronic
label flashing the scenes.
the remixers: THOMAS FEHLMANN
is one of the highest profile producer, live act and DJ of the berlin
electronica scene. working as musician, producer, programmator and DJ
for the oceanclub or as co-producer with THE ORB, ALEX PATERSON, THOMAS
FEHLMANN can be heard solo on the famous cologne kompakt label (recent
album "visions of blah" LP/CD EFA 26037). PHON.O is a resident
artist of the Berlin hype label shitkatapult. he also did tracks for labels
like cytrax (KIT CLAYTON) or laboratory instinct (tokyo/berlin) and designed
the 12inch series for meteosound. MC SOOM-T (rapper of MONKEYTRIBE) just
run into the finals of the eight mile MC-contest in the UK.. the original
"delaware" version (EFA 33488-6) will be featured on the "oceanclub
for china" compilation via V2 records). this fall MC SOOM-T is kicking
some bigger releases of T.RAUMSCHMIERE (novamute, shitkatapult), ALEX
