Bassist, producer & funk fiend | anomaly | anachronism | defiant demolisher of the pigeon-hole.

“The Funkestra has got that ‘what is hip’ attitude...more deep grooves than a 78 rpm record,” enthuses George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly.

On Dr Hypenstein, Redtenbacher's Funkestra brings their danceable brand of funk, laying down 13 of their funkiest grooves yet, from the fluty can't-stop-your-feet sounds of the title track to the heavy crunch of "Swagger," then letting the atomic dogs out with "Cave Canem" and the percolating "Funktionality."

London-based bassist, composer, arranger and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher is the mastermind behind Dr Hypenstein, which includes the bass-driven "Bass Face" and "Bassbulator," the dare-you-not-to-move "Right On It" and "Supergalactic," and expands on previous material to incorporate electronic sounds in all the while standing proud with the history of funk.

This is the eighth album from Redtenbacher's Funkestra, which regularly performs at (and packs) London's legendary 606 Club and other established London venues. Guest musicians have included Fred Wesley, Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis, "Doc" Kupka, Lee Thornburg and Lenny Pickett from Tower of Power, Eric Krasno of Soulive, Stanton Moore of Galactic and the horn sections from Prince, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies.

The Austrian-born Redtenbacher fell for Herbie Hancock and Maceo Parker early on, then studied at the Vienna Conservatory and Boston's Berklee College of Music, and has recorded and performed with legends including Steve Winwood, Jack Bruce, Amy Winehouse, Lulu, Mica Paris, and Herb Alpert.

"Stefan, you know what the funk is about!” (Fred Wesley of the JB’s)

A guitar shredding, drum scorching, piano plinking, bass wobbling silhouette of a singer, D.ablo is one of London's loudest musical secrets. Cutting his teeth as a featured vocalist, producer and musician he has worked with some of the UK's biggest talents. Now it's D.ablo's turn to take centre stage with the release of his debut album 'The Retrospective'.

Born and raised in East London on a diet of grunge, calypso and jazz, D.ablo is a product of his environment and an exception to the musical rules, combining mainstream charisma with underground originality. Influenced by everyday life and his open-minded musical taste, he writes anthems that have both immediate appeal and slow-burning hidden qualities.

D.ablo first came to the public’s attention as a member of the legendary UK hip hop crew TerraFirma, making a name for himself thanks to his unique vocal style and multi-instrumental abilities. Since then he has worked with a diverse group of artists including NERO, Maceo Plex, Alix Perez, Paloma Faith, Foreign Beggars (recently performing with them on the single 'Anywhere' at the iTunes Festival at London's Roundhouse), 16Bit, Ayah Marar and Noisia.
 
D.ablo also makes up one half of the Sleeping Giants production unit with fellow TerraFirma graduate Skriblah DanGogh.
 
His underground party and record label Boglewaltz is known for its eclectic music policy and fun-loving crowd. Recent guest performers have included Damian Marley, Aloe Blacc, Questlove, Benji B and MistaJam.

On 'The Retrospective', D.ablo showcases his talent alongside the producers he learned his craft with, moving between acoustic singer songwriter material, steel drum solos, emotional ballads and striking harmonies with the confidence of an artist sure of his roots but always looking to expand his musical horizons.
 
With an upcoming release schedule of new material, fresh collaborations and live appearances this album is really just the beginning of D.ablo's adventures as a solo artist...

Atypical music maker #Dreampop #psychfolk #experimentalPop #futuresoul #underground

Emanating from south London's "Hilly Fields of Lewisham", Sarah Williams White is a singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. 
After a string of self-released singles and live tours including UK support for Dan Le Sac vs Scroobious Pip and Lex Record's Golden Rules, her debut album was released in November 2015 on local label First Word Records; written, produced and performed by Sarah in her home studio, with the addition of formidable breaks drummer, engineer and husband Timmy Rickard. The fantastical 'Of The New World' mini album presented a uniquely intimate talent to the experimental soul underground, one with earthy spirit and one that is boldly herself.

Succeeded by a number of songwriting collaborations including with brother producer Paul White (Danny Brown, Sudan Archives), Williams-White further demonstrates her instinct for an off-centre catchy hook.

2022 will see a return from the Londoner with her signature buttery lathering of vocals, cutting beats and atypical pop sensibilities. 
Her forthcoming solo record 'Unfathomable' offers up escapism from the mundane, enticing us to connect with our natural planet in this prevalent time, via the eyes of a new mother. Sarah is establishing herself as one of the UK's most interesting and irresistible experimental pop talents. 

Some praise for Sarah Willimas White:
"Future-facing… wonderfully atmospheric" -  Clash
"Absolutely beautiful" - Lauren Laverne,  BBC 6 Music
"New and special" - Jamie Cullum,  BBC Radio 2
"A shining and soulful sonic odyssey" -  The 405
"Dark, feminine, chaotic & beautiful" -  The Guardian

Multi Award Winning Platinum Selling producers Eddie Craig & Jim Sullivan aka The Wideboys have been working together since the mid 90’s and in that time have worked with a who’s who of the current music industry. Song Writing, Producing, Djing, Remixing, Compiling and Tastemaking describe what the guys do on a weekly basis.

The boys first big break happened in the mid to late 90’s after building some heat on some small independent labels in the emerging underground House & Garage scene in London, the boys had a chance meeting with Andy Lewis of Locked On records at a club in London, who heard an early version of their song “Sambuca” he immediately signed it , the track became the second release on Warner imprint 679 recordings following on from Mike Skinner’s debut single“Has It Come to This”  with The Streets.  From there the boys signed with Public Demand Records which was home to the Artful Dodger & Craig David and started really building their craft.
Non stop for nearly 2 decades the boys have only gained momentum and have officially remixed and produced for artists including –
Beyonce, Clean Bandit, Louisa Johnson, Justin Bieber, Pink, Usher, Lady Gaga, Wiley,  LMFAO, Snoop Dog, Swedish House Mafia, Rihanna, Example, Ed Sheeran, Wretch 32, NERD (Pharell Williams), Professor Green, Leona Lewis, Alicia Keyes, Mariah Carey, Boy Better Know, Carly Rae Jepson, Black Eyed Peas, Pussycat Dolls, Ludacris, Miley Cyrus, Cascada, Nelly Furtado, Lily Allen, Nicole Scherzinger, Kylie Minogue , Nikki Minaj, Jason Derulo, Eric Prydz, Robin S, Bob Sinclair, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Estelle, Kanye West, Souljah Boy, Britney Spears, Will I Am, Maroon 5, Flo Rida, Olly Murs, Emeli Sande, Nile Rodgers, Boy Better Know, Chris Lorenzo, Raye etc
Musically the boys are and have always been very diverse. Crossing from North to South of the electronic musical spectrum. From big room house to delicately programmed deep grooving garage, to storming trap & drum and bass, to catchy energetic pop and downtempo. From the depths of Ibiza to massive UK festivals to commercial Universities, no challenge is to Big for Ed & Jim to get their musical teeth into and the boys use their skills like master craftsman to tailor for each gig and production very specifically. The boys have an extensive knowledge of dance music and have used this to help sell in excess of 1,300,000 compilation albums to date, including UK Platinum Selling “Addicted to Bass ” series. With their long standing compilation deal with Ministry of Sound every single one of their albums has hit the Top 10 of the UK Charts including the prestigious No.1 spot.
