Am 28. Februar 2014 erscheint die Debüt EP von Foresta auf Soundcloud und Bandcamp zum kostenlosen Download! Seit dem "Youth Riddim" arbeitet Foresta an eigenen Produktionen, die stellenweise schon auf Alben unterschiedlicher Künstler erschienen sind, hier gibt es jetzt sechs exklusive Songs, die euch einen Einblick in sein musikalisches Schaffen geben. Foresta ist das "jüngste Pferd" im Urban Tree Music Stall und hat sich, neben zahlreichen anderen Aktivitäten rund um Urban Tree, in den letzten vier Monaten in seinem Studio eingeschlossen, um diese EP fertig zu produzieren. Natürlich warten noch zahlreiche Videos und kleine Aktionen zu den Songs darauf abgeschlossen zu werden… Wir halten euch wie immer auf Facebook auf dem Laufenden!

Zu hören gibt es Hiphop und Beats im breitesten Gewand zwischen Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub und Popmusik. Mit an Bord hat er zahlreiche Namen aus eben genau diesen Genres, die in den letzten zwei Jahren seinen Weg gekreuzt oder den Weg in sein kleines Homestudio gefunden haben. Mit Kabaka Pyramid und Protoje hat er zwei der aktuell erfolgreichsten und vielversprechendsten jamaikanischen Reggaeartists an Bord; Berge gehören zum besten was die Berliner und deutsche Popszene zu bieten hat; Forestas Labelkollege Simon Grohé arbeitet gerade selbst am Release seines Urban Tree Debüts "Mamaoerf", Danny Ranks und Longfingah gehören seit Jahrzehnten zum deutschen und österreichischen Reggae- und Dancehall Underground und haben sich weit darüber hinaus ihre Fanbase vor den kleinen und großen Bühnen Europas ersungen; mit Benjie hat er einen Veteranen der deutschen Reggae- und Dancehallszene und weiteren Labelkollegen von Urban Tree mit im Schiff und Jaqee, die bei den Freunden von Rootdown Records ihre Musik veröffentlicht, verbreitet ihre wunderbare Musik jedes Jahr von Dänemark, über Deutschland, bis nach Frankreich und Uganda.

Foresta's debut EP will be released on the 28th of February 2014 and will be available as a free download on  Soundcloud and Bandcamp. Since the release of the „Youth Riddim“, Foresta has been working on his own productions, some of which have been released on the albums of various artists over the past couple of years. This time around, he has not entirely distanced himself from a Reggae sound, but rather has found a way to combine it with Soul, Hiphop and jazzy elements. His instruments of choice are rhodes and piano. A number of musical guests graced his home studio where the programmed beats were enhanced with live instruments.  

We now present to you six exclusive songs that will give you an insight into the producer's musical creativity. Foresta, the youngest member of the Urban Tree family, spent the last four months locked up in his home studio to finish his long awaited EP on time for the release date. A number of videos and small activities surrounding the EP are still to come. 

The EP features a  fusion of Hiphop and beats combining Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub and Pop. The vocals to be heard here are from artists that hail from precisely these genres, artists that he has met somewhere along on his musical journey through the years or that made it into his humble home studio.   

For his EP Foresta had the pleasure of working with two of the most successful and promising artists in the Jamaican Reggae scene: Kabaka Pyramid and Protoje; Berge belong to the pick of what the German Pop scene has to offer, Foresta's label colleague Simon Grohé  is currently working on his own release „Mamaoerf“; Danny Ranks and Longfingah have both belonged to the German and Austrian Reggae and Dancehall underground scene for decades and have shared their music with crowds on both small and large stages all across Europe; with Benjie - another Urban Tree colleague - he has a veteran of the German dancehall scene on board; Jaqee from Rootdown Records shares her music with her fanbase from Denmark to Germany to France and Uganda.
