Foton and Les Halles present FOtones: Mutant Hip Hop #3Spectre (Wordsound  / Crooklyn, USA) Sensational (Wordsound / Crooklyn, USA) Kouhei (Wordsound, JAP)Vanno (Foton, BE)Bun-Zer0 and Oneposs MC (Future World Funk, BE)Crop Circle (BE)Foton is honoured to have WordSound (Crooklyn - New York) as its guest for the next Mutant Hip-Hop level. Since 1995 WordSound is on a crusade, using broken hip-hop beats, lo-fi rhythms and radical lyrics as its only weapons. At the time, at a loss for words, critics coined the musical WordSound universe as Illbient. Word becomes sound becomes vision. No compromises, no superfluous decoration: please meet Spectre, Sensational and Kouhei.Brussels stands side by side with the WordSound posse by putting three of its finest acts on stage: Vanno, Bun Zer0 & 1Poss MC, and Crop Circle. Mutants rejoice.Spectre (WordSound, Quatermass - USA)Known by a gang of aliases - Disciple of the Dark, Overlord of The Underground, Master of Nothing, The Ayatollah of Ebola, Akhenaton The Heretic - the shadowy figure at the center of the WordSound Multiverse is Spectre, conducting a campaign of bass terror on the mainstream music industry for well over a decade. Releases such as The Illness, The Second Coming, The End and Psychic Wars cemented the reputation of the Ill Saint as one of the deadliest drum programmers around, garnering fans and imitators alike.Link: WordsoundSensational (WordSound, Ipecac, Quatermass - USA)Hip-hop abounds with eccentric personalities such as Kool Keith, Old Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.), and Busta Rhymes, but Sensational trumps even these colorful MCs with an abstract flavor and a charm all his own. He linked up with the world-famous Jungle Brothers when he was only 15, and in 1995 he came to the attention of WordSound through producer Bill Laswell. Unlike most rap producers, Sensational has never been one to sample, but plays all his sounds live. Sensational's tripped-out flows, broken beats, and lo-fi ambience create a truly unique sound in hip-hop.Link: WordsoundKouhei (WordSound - JAP)Kouhei Matsunaga grew up in Osaka, listening to hardcore techno and rap music. 1998 also saw the release of Kouhei's first album, Upside down, which included collaborations with Masonna, Natiho Toyota, and Merzbow. With the latter he did a split CD on Kid606's Tigerbeat6, and a 12" on Christoph de Babalon's Cross Fade Enter Tainment. The WordSound 2006 release, Sensational meets Kouhei, contains abrasive tracks that are the punk rock of hip-hop, as well as mellow sounds of pure bliss.Link: www.ffss.info/kouhei/main.htmVanno (Foton - BE)Essential bass business with a clear strategy: to shake, rattle and roll the bones of the dancefloor crowd. Styles are restrictive, and restrictions are useless, so expect a mixed selection of sub-heavy beats and breaks. You heard his live set at Mutant Hip Hop #2, here's the vinyl version of Vanno's mutant musical universe.Link: FotonBunZer0 ft. One Poss MC (FWF - BE)When a funk singer meets a dubstep soldier it creates something really special. 1Poss MC and Bun Zer0 meet for Mutant Hip Hop #3, presenting a set full of unreleased stuff and a lots of soul. Both artists are FWF members, mixing their own productions with a selection of dubstep and grime gems: a deep meditation on extremely low frequencies.Link: Future World FunkCrop Circle (BE)A brand new collective from Brussels, creating a novel blend of twisted hip hop by crossbreeding disco balls with dark ambient.
