Martin Books – „Live“ Remix EP (German)

Welcome back! 

Das Doppel Vinyl Album „Live“ erschien Anfang 2014 auf dem Label Stylerockets, doch 2 tracks sind für Martin sehr von Bedeutung, sodass er diese nochmal zum Ausdruck bringen möchte – „LIVE“ and „SICK ROOTS“. Somit entstand  die Idee eine Remix EP zu machen und schnell haben sich auch die richtigen Produzenten dafür gefunden. Vor Jahren lernte Martin die beiden Jungs „Kotelett & Zadak“ bei einem Gig kennen wobei bis heute die Freundschaft bestehen blieb.

Auch „René Bourgeois“ bringt hierbei seinen Style mit ein und gehört schon seit Anfang an zur Supdub-Familie.

Ihr könnt Euch auf eine wirklich starke EP freuen mit 2 Aufsehen erregenden, sich von einander abhebenden Remixen.

	
Martin Books – „Live“ Remix EP (English)

Welcome back!

Already released in August 2014, Martin wishes to emphasize on two very special songs from the double vinyl album "Live" that was brought to you via the label Stylerockets. The outstanding tracks "LIVE" and "SICK ROOTS" undoubtedly hold the potential to kick off as a Remix EP as well. In fact he even got his friends and colleagues, "Kotelett & Zadak", on board who Martin met years ago on a Gig.
Also "René Bourgeois", who belongs to the Supdub family from year one on, doesn't hold back to bring in his special style.
You may look forward towards a significantly strong EP featuring two startling and differentiated productions.

BLUETTE


MoodPhase5ive set the standard with 'Steady On'.

The Bottom Line: A work of unparalleled genius. Get it wherever you can, but get it. They are quite simply the most talented act to come out of the southern tip of the Mother continent.

Steady On is a unique South African hip hop album blended with dub, trance, funk, jazz and soul.

The title track enjoyed consistent airplay on Goodhope FM, the video received national broadcast on South African TV as well as MTV Europe- and Uneek stayed at no. 1 on P4 radio for 3 consecutive weeks.

But every track on this album is a pleasure to listen to.

The chemistry between the MC and singer is palpable on the album- electric and radiant.
D-Form (Denver Turner) is an outstanding MC who leaves microphones scorched with his clever verses, unique flow and style. Lady E (Ernestine Deane) is a vocalist with one of the most amazing voices that you have ever heard. Her range is beyond fantastic, and her voice has a sultry, seductive quality about it.

The rest of the creative band members, Brian de Goede, Douglas Armstrong, Bood Carver and Craig Damster perform pure magic as they support the vocalists- phasing effortlessly through the moods of each song with their infectious live hip hop sound.

They have created an urban Cape Town sound, unlike any other.

'Steady on' was produced by mixboard genius Craig Damster- the band's former keyboardist. It was released by African Dope Records- and it deserves 5ive solids stars.

02 - Rise 'n Shine

'Moodphase5ive - Super Deluxe Mode' is a collection of remixes from 'Steady On' by a variety of top and up-n-coming South African producers and remix artists, supplemented by live takes from SA and European tours. The first single is 'Got To Give', featuring the all-girl rapping trio Godessa, which came about as result of a collaboration with the AIDS-awareness program 'Steps to the Future'. The track deals with taking responsibility in sexual relationships, and is coupled with an excellent video produced by Big World Cinema and directed by Eddie Edwards.

The album runs from start to finish like a customised 'mixtape' – with remixes ranging in style from hednod hiphop thru dub, funk and downtempo to broken-beat, drum 'n bass and even gangsta 2-step, spiced with freaky interludes of the band's jam sessions and live takes from tours in Africa and Europe. The album features remixes by established names Kalahari Surfers, Felix Laband, Mime, Syllabic and Anti-Hero, and showcases newcomers Bombshelter Hi-Fi, Agent Cooper, Drugless Lovestrong and more.

Biography
Iconic South African Live Hip Hop band, Moodphase5ive, is well loved for their innovative funk, soul and live dub groove- and was integral in introducing an urban Cape Town sound to the International music scene. The members hail from South Africa, Namibia, Malawi and Italy.

The band first came together in 1997. Back then the line up included turntablist, Adam Lieber and brothers Jean Tofte (guitar), Fanus Tofte (bass) and Brian de Goede (drumkit). Vocalist Denver Turner aka Ultra Bzurrk and Dform, soon joined- bringing the already potent trio a strong story teller. Ernestine Deane aka Lady E soon followed and brought the group a powerful feminine presence with her unique voice.

The band played to full houses wherever they travelled and in 1999 they were joined by Douglas Armstrong (trumpet), Bood Carver (bass) and Craig Damster (keyboards/ production), who produced the groundbreaking debut album, Steady On- released in 2000 by the popular Cape Town based independant label, African Dope Records. Steady On and the subsequent remix album, In Superdeluxe Mode, enjoyed many licensing deals for South African commercials, African films as well as American and Canadian TV series- not to mention no.1 and top ten slots on various South African radio charts.

Moodphase5ive went on to support top international acts such as Jazzanova, Ninja Tunes' Amon Tobin and Kid Koala, Omar, Mica Paris, Morcheeba, Basement Jaxx and Asian Dub Foundation, to name just a few.
Their performances at international festivals such as the North Sea Jazz festival, Westerpop, Lowlands and Pukkelpop put them on the map as a dynamic live act, and led to several invitations to perform in Europe.

Ten years on, the band is planning the release of various unheard tracks as well as some new recordings.
