Marc Hype began his DJ career, inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay, in 1988 and went through the several decades of hip hop with countless releases, tours and competitions like the ITF championships, which he won twice in 98 & 99. During this time he collaborated and recorded with artists like the Juice Crew legend Masta Ace, Souls Of Mischief, DJ Z-Trip, Killa Kela & Mr. Lif. Over the years his record collection and his musical mind  expanded and led him to all kinds of funky music. His selection on the decks as on production is freestyle, always with a unique groove, no matter the genre.

Jim Dunloop began to train as a classical piano player at the age of four. At his minor age he was analyzing the compositions of Gershwin and Bruback, leading to a keen interest in jazz music. He quickly developed his knowledge of the creative works of many great jazz/funk pianists such as Herbie Hancock , Bob James , Chick Corea and Adam Makiewicz.

In the year 2004 they both met in Berlin for the first time and quickly began to collaborate on shows and production. Their first vinyl releases on the infamous Milk Crate label, "The Antique Anthem", "Bombay Raw" & "Finale 74", were very successful in the worldwide dj-circuit, followed by a cover version of Babe Ruth's "The Mexican" in 2006, which was dubbed by UK's Jazzman Gerald as "the" version to have. On the remix tip they build a strong reputation with works for artists like All Good Funk Alliance, Deela or Kid Gusto.Their past tour schedule proved their ability to rock internationaly with stops allover europe as in NYC, Japan, Hong Kong, Russia, United Arabian Emirates, Israel & Australia.

The live performance of Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop is best defined as a mix of DJing, Turntablism and the highest of piano art. Together they gain 50 years of musical experience!

The Album

"Stamp Out Reality" is the musical manifest of Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop. A diverse mix of different styles which reflects their unique live concept. On the one hand you have classic hip hop joints like "Predominant" ft. the magnificent Mr. Lif or "Oh Really" ft. Queen's own Mr. Complex, on the other you might listening to Miami's Old School Funk legend Blowfly on "The Pussy Song", cuban diva Malena Perez from NYC on the latin influenced "Rare Occasion, heavy break stompers like "Wah Wah Wah"" or a funk cover version of the 80s electro classic "Al Naafiysh (The Soul)". The concept of the album is to display the diversity of the two maestros, coming from different backrounds, met inside the hip hop culture and travelleling through the paths of 21st century funk.


Klingt wie ein reines Rap Radio könnte man jetzt sagen, aber weit gefehlt. Def Beat Radio ist mehr als das. Sicherlich steht der Rap deutlich im Vordergrund und letztendlich gehört er ja auch unumstößlich zur ‘Berlin Hip Hop Culture’! Aber wir wären nicht ‘Berlin Limited’, wenn uns nicht auch andere Musik Genres geprägt hätten. Def Beat Radio bietet: Rap, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Electrofunk, Boogie und alle erdenklichen Zwischenformen genannter Stilrichtungen......

ØCTUPØNE (Frank Rübcke) 

The man, the myth, and his musical moods A true connaisseur and a timeless collector of grooves with an eclectic and encyclopedic (maybe even biblical) knowledge, the DJ known as Octupone has been creating his melting pot of sounds and textures with his emotionally charged sets for over three decades. Drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through R&B to Disco. 

Eclectic melting pot of sounds and textures drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through to african and oriental. Folktronica. Minimal Cumbia. Andean Step. Tropical Bass. Global Spirit. Keta-Pop. Bummeltechno. Basso Nova. Macarena Dub. Slowhouse (aka "Slouse"). Slothdisco (!). Uplifting Downtempo. Spiritual House. Chill Rave. Aya Tech. Dessert House. Indie Sun. Acoustic Funk.

Octupone has spun his web of wicked tunes all over the world and then some: from the Soulkitchen or the Golden Pudel Club in his original hometown of Hamburg to the Bar Tausend, Jackie O or at the Party for the ECHO (Germany’s Grammys) in Berlin, from Rio de Janeiro via Tulum or Paris on to Mykonos or Hong Kong. Currently residing as DJ and Music Consultant and Supervisor at La Granja IBIZA, he rarely repeats and never ceases to amaze.
