FOtones
Mutant Hip Hop # 1

Live:

Food For Animals (Upperclass Recordings, USA)
First european concert for this North-American duo. Washington DC-based Food For Animals blow hip-hop to bits and put the pieces back together, producing a unique mutant version of hip-hop: dirty fucked-up beats and raps with a healthy injection of noise and critical attitude.

Patric Catani (Candie Hank, Junk, DE)
Berlin pioneer, known from projects and labels such as Puppet Mastaz, DHR, Praxis, Wordsound/Blackhoodz and Grand Royal. Catani presents an intense live performance, tearing apart styles and conventions. In the shops with a new 12" on Junk records.

DJ Maxximus and Soom T (Warp, Mental Groove, MG 77, Novamute, DE/UK)
Dark and tricky duo. DJ Maxximus' fat bassline sound meets Soom T, one of the hottest UK MC's at the moment. They are both out to bass the world with a fierce mix of Berlin beats and UK rhymes.

Sendai (Knobsounds/Foton, BE)
Eavesdropper (Knobsounds) and Object (Foton) go for hybrid machine music: fragmented hip-hop rhythms and mutated breakbeats are accompanied by a healthy dose of subbass and assorted electro-influences.

DJ's:

Vex'd (Subtext, UK)
Call it dubstep, grime, future beat, or just straight HEAVY - Vex'd are all that and more. Destructive beats and punching basslines work together, resulting in uncut, unwashed, next level urban dance music.

DJ Maxximus (Warp, Mental Groove, DE)
Berlin's bass master behind the decks means only one thing: a booty-shaking sublow experience. New breed riot garage rave.

Vanno (Foton, BE)
Cut-up beats and breaks are a trademark of this Brussels' ambassador of the church of bass. Essential business.
