Hummingbird by BPZ label have curated a tasteful package this summer in the form of their Invasive Species remix release. The original Invasive Specie album saw label founder Benjamin Phillipe Zulauf turn out a new moniker, Fork-Tailed Woodnypmh, an alias seeing him utilising an array of percussion instrument recordings he has collected throughout the years. 

The digitally released five tracker will land this August, and includes stellar remixes from Inkipak, Roya Brehl, Kindimmer, Andre Gardeja, and Violett, and whilst the music speaks for itself, the release also puts the spotlight on the pressing issues of a modern day problem as we race to make a brighter future before our climate faces irreversible change.

The opening remix Inkipak’s Inkimix of “Black Tar Sands'' is structured upon ethereal textures, shimmering synths help build the tension before releasing with subtle drums, an ambient and thought provoking track. Roya Brehl’s remix of the same track takes a slightly different approach, hypnotic drum loops converse with the eccentric percussions all having their own space to breathe, transcending the listener with every twist and turn.

Next up is Kindimmer’s melodic remix of “Resistance”, although uplifting there is a chunky broken groove driving the track in forward momentum, a classy outtake of the original, perfect for the hazy summer mornings. Andre Gardeja provides the most mysterious remix from the five with “Invasive Specie”, dark tones work their way around the enormous kick, and clap, leaning towards the techno genre throughout the 7 minute trip.

Closing the EP is Violett’s “In The Middle Of The Nothing Remix” of “Plastification Personification”. Smooth, underwater-like elements breathing life into the peculiar layout of the track that meanders around the key bassline component, urging you to wander between positive thoughts and ponder questions one may have for
life or the universe.

Hummingbird By BPZ using intelligent and innovative music to address important issues we face as a generation, help spread the message that all of us as caretakers and stake shareholders of this planet should
be paying close attention to. The release will arrive on 12th August via the Hummingbird Bandcamp and various other digital and streaming platforms.

Andres Bucci aka Future Legend returns to Hummingbird with a second album of electronic funk and techy exploration. He has previously released music on the likes of Dinky’s Horizontal, Mike Shannon’s Cynosure Recordings, Pier Bucci’s Maruca, and collaborated on an album with Kate Simko that was released by Traum Music.

Whether it’s trippy synths or chunky breakbeats, Future Legend’s focus is always on the finer details and this album expresses the full range of his sound. Future Legend’s output has been exclusive to Hummingbird by BPZ and this eight-track release is a storytelling work of art that progresses from the ambient intro toward a dance-floor friendly ending.

________

This story begins in early 97 when a fledgling producer purchased his first bits of studio gear with a Roland MC-303 and a Juno 106, spending every free moment creating drum loops, basses and soulful pads. Influenced by the underground sounds coming out of Detroit, Chicago and London, the Melbourne based Swiss/British/Aussie producer began a lifelong love affair and obsession with electronic music.

His musical directions cross over into many genres, flexing between house and techno and meandering into break beat, acid and electro. The journey you take is always important during a DJ set or studio session, where it starts isn't necessarily a sign of how it may end but its important that it always leaves you with an emotional impression...life was never meant to be boring. Holding down residencies across the globe over the years is proof of this, with Kronic (Melbourne/AUS), Shove (Neuchatel/SUI), Hummingbird (Berlin/GER), Emotional Content (Leeds/UK).

Benjamin’s music has been championed over the years by the likes of Laurent Garnier, Peace Division, DJ Rolando (UR), LTJ Bukem, Danny Tenaglia, Roy Davis Jr., DJ Sprinkles, DJ Bone, Ian Pooley, Fred P, nd_Baumecker, Carl Craig, DVS1, Colin Dale, Marcel Dettmann, Slam, Tintonton Duvante, Axel Bowman, Mano Le Tough, Böhm, Quarion, Vince Watson, Trevor Rockcliffe, Daschund, Truncate, Bill Brewster, Abstract Division, Jimpster, Patrick Lindsey, John Heckle, Terry Frances, Barac, Rene Wise, Red Rack'em, Cottam, Archie Hamilton and Âme.

As a DJ he has supported artists such Andres and Pier Bucci, Eric Powell, Tobi Neumann, Livio & Roby, Shonky, Hot Since 82, Praslea, John Heckle, Primiesku, Brothers’ Vibe, Stimming, Matthew Styles, Camea, Noir, Barem, Mike Shannon, Someone Else, Simon Coyle, Placid, DJ La Di Da, Scott Bradford, Il Bosco, Georgios Papamanoglou and played venues such as Weekend, Club der Visionäre, Chalet, Griessmuehle, Sunday Breakfast Zurich, La Ruche, Brown Alley, Duplex Bangkok, Freedom Mills, Old Red Bus Station, The Imaginarium, Around Festival, Glas-Raum and Ministry Of Sound New Dehli.
