Chase The Devil Ft. Lee Scratch Perry/Coshiva & Emch  (Adrian Sherwood Dub)

Out on December 2nd, 2022!

American indie label File 13 Records released what was already Martin Rev‘s sixth solo album in the autumn of 2003. The previous year, Rev and his musical partner Alan Vega had struck out in a new direction on their "American Supreme" album and Rev’s solo works continued in a similar vein. If "Strangeworld" from the year 2000 actually felt more like a timeless abstract of Martin Rev’s entire spectrum of musical
influences, "To Live", three years later, introduces more contemporary elements, including guitar samples for the first time.

Martin Rev - To Live [album preview]

Christoph Dallach, Andreas Dorau and Daniel Jahn present Echo Neuklang, a compilation which explores the question of how Krautrock has influenced generation after generation of musicians since its inception. A contentious genre at the best of times, the music within its spectrum is essentially intangible. The common thread running through it is a compulsion to seek out the new. Beginning in the year 1981 and extending as far as 2023, the music in this collection demonstrates how the idea of what passed for Krautrock in the 1970s has been interpreted or reinterpreted by a diverse array of artists with distinct approaches in the decades which followed, without recourse to any generic conventions.

Attack Time

PRE-ORDER

Zeus B Held - Attack Time [album preview]

This new compilation represents an initial – and long overdue – foray into the years 1980 - 82, when KLAR!80 was a cassette label, paired with a shop of the same name in Düsseldorf. Founded by Rainer Rabowski, KLAR!80 released 18 cassettes of varying length and a box set containing three 12" vinyl EPs which fetch handsome prices among collectors nowadays.

The 'KLAR!80 - Ein Kassettenlabel aus Düsseldorf 1980-1982' collection reaches even further back in time than the 'SAMMLUNG - Düsseldorfer Kassettenmusik 1982-1989' collection, similarly curated by Stefan Schneider, which focused on the mid-1980s Düsseldorf cassette scene. It captures the brief period between the end of punk and the looming capitalisation and digitalisation of so many aspects of life.

Bad Brains IN DUB (conducted by KHD) 
Echo Beach (EB103) – 13 tracks CD/13  tracks digital) 
Release date:  13.06.2014
“Strictly Limited Edition of 999 copies digi paks”

„Some stories you have been told nobody believe. But as a musician you can say the silliest nonsense without the danger being sent to the funnyfarm. So let's give it a try!The truth is: We are not from this world. Our earth is not as backward as this one - on the other hand, Punk has never happened there, and Alice Cooper died in 1973.
With the help of this thing we came to YOUR world, and then met the BAD BRAINS in the years of 1979, 82, und 89, to be exact. This was also our first encounter with PUNK - we were really impressed!The impact on KHD was so great, that we had the idea to play the BAD BRAINS' songs in OUR world ... claiming WE were the BAD BRAINS“= KHD
Since their debut album “Hirntrafo” the band “KHD” is constantly touring to promote the german lyrics version of BAD BRAINS…!
Their new (!?)  album celebrates the reggae and dub side and pays tribute to the marking band of Punk and Reggae a pop-cultural highlight in their work. With the official support and assistance of the  Bad Brains management in the United States, “KHD” has succeeded ( in combination with top class dub and reggae remixers) in creating a heavy  masterpiece in 13 chapters. 
Drenched in echo, the sounds in this dub treatment contravene the rules of space and time


I And I Survive (Ich Bin Nicht Allein)(Darryl Jenifer Dub)

Compiled by Ralf Köster, DJ and curator of Hamburg's Golden Pudel Club, "Where The Rabbit Sleeps" is an extensive collection of tracks by Sensorama, a project comprising Jörn Elling Wuttke and Roman Flügel. Working as a production team since the late 1980s in various guises such as Acid Jesus, Alter Ego and Primitive Painter, the pair also founded several labels with DJ Ata and Heiko MSO (Ongaku, Klang Elektronik, Playhouse). They released their debut album as Sensorama in 1995.

Martin Rev - The Sum Of Our Wounds (Cassette Recordings 1973 - 85)[album preview]

MM PREMIERES are meant to transcend the ordinary and immerse themselves in the sacred realm of music, beholding the unseen and embracing the new melodic tapestry even before it unveils itself to the world.

Martin Rev's musical odyssey commenced with a foray into free jazz, eventually leading him towards the magnetic allure of electronic production, where he ingeniously interwove rock'n'roll elements to create electrifying sounds with minimal equipment. This transformation not only profoundly impacted Suicide's musical trajectory but also paved the way for an enthralling solo career for Rev. 

"The Sum of Our Wounds" meticulously curates recordings from 1973 to 1985, offering a fresh lens through which to appreciate familiar compositions, revealing their delicate and vulnerable essence, akin to a collection of emotional wounds. Rev's enduring captivation with these recordings signifies an unending desire to revisit and expand upon ideas conceived decades ago, illustrating the perpetual evolution of his musical ingenuity. These recordings serve as snapshots of an ongoing creative journey, allowing us to sit beside Martin Rev at the tape deck, immersed in the sounds of an ever-restless city.

LEE Scratch PERRY – file under – The Legend !!!
Robo Bass HiFi –  file under – BASS !!!
Dubblestandart – the Viennese/European coffee house version of Jamaican´s  DUB Syndicate !


ROBO BASS HiFi  lives and breathes a tight combination of jungle, dub,  dubstep – SPACE and irregular POP.  His current electro-reggae drenched in BASS MUSIC  is mighty in all its facets and incessantly feeds the mind of the universe! 

From roots and DUB to dubstep/drumstep through to future jungle, UK-DIGITAL and D'n'B  -  Robo Bass Hifi loves tinkering with sounds and rhythms to create something that not everyone can handle, but which us folks on the Echo Beach love more than anything else: BAAASSS.

His debut “16 Bit Skanks“ on Select Cuts was received by the local press with reviews that ranged from enthusiastic to tepid to non-existent ... here are a few quotes: 

Jazzthetik: ... bowled over my heart, a bass massage is guaranteed, milks modular synthesis to the max...!

Riddim / Dub Blog: ... a hybrid sort of sound, which occupies the mid-field between Major Lazer and jungle, interspersed with breaks (filled with reggae offbeats) ... a high-energy work stuffed to the brim with crazy ideas. If you’re not in a state of ecstasy and are capable of listening consciously to this musical fireworks display, then you’ll be amazed at the endless different layers of sounds in these tracks, which take turns in sitting at the top of the dub mixes. 

Westzeit: ... this is a strong debut by the man whose sister wanted to open a boutique in Wuppertal with the pope!

Coolibri:  ... massive, reduced, echo-y, as dry as dust... – a real keeper!

Markus Kammann aka ROBO BASS HIFI stringently sticks to his path. After submitting remixes to the three musketeers of German pop (SEEED, FETTES BROT, JAN DELAY), all of which were rejected (the murmured rejections from the musketeers ranged from dulcet tones to absolute silence…!) he has now led the reggae legend into the dark room and has shaken things up. David Lynch and Ari Up bring a breath of Jean Michel Jarre pop and captivate the master of the deep, thick bass.
Previously, Dubblestandart recorded the originals on RETURN FROM PLANET DUB with Master Lee Perry  and now ROBO BASS HIFI has taken them to a deeper level...! 
With this exceptionally fine release, ECHO BEACH welcomes the late summer with the warm throb of a deep bass...!

DR. Israel - “IN DUB ”
Echo Beach (EB143) (CD/Digital)
Release Date: 27.03.2020

Dr. Israel is a dub artist from Brooklyn/ New York City. For him, dub music – originally rooted in 1960s Jamaican reggae culture – is the starting point to explore a universe of sounds, including hardcore punk,  rock, hip-hop, ambient, electronics, reggae, drum and bass. A global melting pot of a wild variety of musical styles.
Douglas Bennett aka DR. Israel (Jamaicans gave him his artist name when he lived for a while in a Niyabinghi community and became a Rastafari) discovered what he calls "non-traditional" reggae while playing guitar in punk rock bands in his native Philadelphia. His inspirations and influences include punk/reggae hybridists Bad Brains and ragga/hip-hop pioneer Boogie Down Productions as well as 1980s Reggae stars like Sly & Robbie and Black Uhuru. 

In the early 1990s he began experimenting with sampling keyboards and beats. A few years later he and others like DJ Spooky and Skiz "Spectre " Fernando earned international renown for creating "illbient," a sound that mixed jungle and hip-hop beats with otherworldly dub, ambient and avant-garde classical tones. 
"We did a bunch of very dark, very strange music," says Dr. Israel, who released his debut instrumental EP, "7 Tales of Israel," on Fernando's WordSound label in 1996.

Dr. Israel's journey has since taken him on tours around the world (U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan and has played major festivals incl. the Montreux Jazz Festival, South London’s Royal Festival Hall, Reggae on the River in California, Transmusicales in France, Fuji Rock in Japan etc.) He has released several projects, including "Black Rose Leberation", "Inna City Pressure", "Patterns of War", "Love In The Time Of Violence"  and has worked with Bill Laswell (as part of the supergroup Methods of Defiance), Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Last Poets, Rancid, Santigold, Sepultura, Laurie Anderson, Bernie Worrell, Easy Star Allstars, Alpha & Omega,  and also with the  rapper and Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Killah Priest.

"The one thing that I'm most thankful for is that I've been able to touch elbows with my heroes," he says.
"I don't want to do traditional reggae because there are a lot of people already doing that. I don’t think I could ever create a straight-ahead pop track. I'm not the kind of person who's big on writing love songs, but 
I am able to create a song partly based on the 1982 collaboration between punk icons the Clash and beat poet Allen Ginsberg. The Clash song to me was about a certain era in London. I wanted to paint the same picture and song structure, but I wanted to paint it in Brooklyn."

"I create and produce music a bit like Bruce Lee. He came from the traditional Kung Fu and merged / combined for his martial arts discipline Tae-kwon-do, and other traditional martial arts to an effective system. That's the basic idea of combining styles."

Up, Bustle & Out's Vol. 1 album,  "24–Track Almanac"
CCT 3028-2 Collision / Echo Beach Lifefidelity
CD (limited edition of 555 ) /Digital Download
Release date: 29.05.2020

Over 25+ years the name "Up, Bustle & Out" has been synonymous with freedom in terms of their eclectic music productions, sound experimentations as well as a very specific social and ecological mindset. They are Bristol-based and the original representatives of the first generation of Ninja Tune artists alongside Coldcut, DJ Food, Cinematic Orchestra, 9 Lazy 9, DJ Vadim and The Herbaliser. Up, Bustle & Out released 5 popular albums and 11+ EP 12" singles on Coldcut's pioneering and internationally-respected label. Ninja Tune quickly became a cult urban movement amongst the cosmopolitan youth - one that included fashion, radio shows, VJs, books, videos, turntable delights, club nights and festivals - especially throughout Europe, the USA and Japan. UB&O became a unique act on the label’s compilation albums by including more songs than any other artists. 

The sound of the band - which comprises Rupert Mould, David Fell, Flamenco guitarist Cuffy El Guapo, Latin percussionist/singer Eugenia Knight, and DJ Dave Cridge - is shaped by the period in which turntablism, global thinking and sample collages became the roots of the new underground, forming a modern freestyle cut & paste Hip Hop and Jazz. The band presented their unique take on this direction with albums “The Breeze was Mellow (As the Guns Cooled in the Cellar)” (1994); "One Colour Just Reflects Another (1996); "Light Em' Up, Blow Em' Out" (1997) - all of which topped musical mag reviews such as NME, Time Out New York and Wire. Breakbeats sourced from rare funk records, cuts and scratches from the turntable, such were the driving forces that underpinned club music. UB&O were inspired by the heavy bass productions of the Bristol Sound and collaborated early on with names such as Smith & Mighty. It was the solid and earthy double bass of Portishead's Jim Barr and the Latin soul & funk rhythms that dominated the band’s work like a leitmotif. 

The Hamburg label ECHO BEACH, through its sub-label "Collision Cause of Chapter 3", which has already released four albums and a compilation of the band’s work since 2007, is celebrating the sound anew with an extravagant series of compilation releases...!!!
