A remix-E.P. scheduled EIGHT[!] years after the orginal's official release-date has to have an attitude - or at least anything shitty like a "strong sales-point".

It better be bolshy, fulminant, demanding, energetic, vibey and superiorly crafted, right?

02 Bob Humid –“And The Prototype Smiled...” 5:19 - [NEW EXCLUSIVE]

"Forthcoming on June 20th, 2014 is the new EP release of Bob Humid on his very own Serve & Destroy imprint which features his first Drum'n'Bass-assaults officially unleashed after a thirteen years off period from uptempo breakbeats. Reminiscent of late 90s stepper qualities, coming up with highly detailed programming and a good amount of espionage thrill featured in the two tracks this techfunkin' release is quite a sweet showcase of how timeless and ever functional Drum'n'Bass can be crafted without repeating all style stereotypes over and over again. Touché. "

				</a><br/>When Bob Humid, one of the most accredited producers in the Cologne electronic music scene and former third of the Electronic Body Music / Kunstlied-Formation “Der Liederkranz” in the late 1980s, teams up with Edda, who wasn’t around much back then, but has been making herself a name in the last few years as resident dj, burlesque performer and just overall artist, expertise and inquisitiveness collide.

Bob (also known as Robert Feuchtl) was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, but grew up in Germany for most of the time. Edda’s provenance is similarly obscure, blending a pint of irish blood and an ounce of teutonic heritage with a french origin. Both share a love for danceable but clever music and are just as well shapeshifters in terms of style as accquainted with time travelling, flirting exceedingly with both futuristic and retro elements, combining slick sounddesign with savage sawtooths.

While Bob Humid is mostly acknowledged for his advanced electronic breakbeat productions, Waving Not Drowning is more about glitzy glamour and daring debauchery than complicated tweakings and mindboggling metrics. Edda, who spins a seemingly disparate, but ravishingly frantic choice of post punk and new wave, grime and break beat, decadent disco and glittering techno, contributes voice, lyrics and co-production in the construction of these little hybrid gems, cramming her entire musical influence into the process.

Waving Not Drowning [Edda & Bob Humid] - Ectoplasm Spasm [Ectoplasma]

I recently found myself playing this dark and housy tune in actual warm-up or late night moments more frequently. "My House Is Black" is a more timeless remix-version of our Boxer Sport Release "Featherweight", from our tech-orientated house-project FEATHERWEIGHT that I form with the vocalist and music writer twila.too. more to be expected in the next months.

INFO:
Musician, Super-Producer, DJ, Sound-Designer, Tutor and Technological Writer. Christian Kalinowski aka NUMINOS is a man with a phalanx of talents. Being an overly self-critical and detail-obsessed producer with a pumping heart for the british beats and the mighty dub-craft he rarely released tracks in the past years. He has come a long way from his early success in the german Hip Hop band Indeed (together with DJ Lifeforce & Uh-Young Kim) and that’s probably where the funk or his musicality derives from. This and the fact that he is also a learned piano-player. Of course there where prolific flirts with the UK-based PAGODA Records crew and skillful remixes for Bob Humid’s SERVE & DESTROY and earlier BORED BEYOND BELIEF Imprints, dozens of highly inspired DUB-Liveacts in Cologne’s underground (Electro Bunker, Why Beep?, Encounters Of The Ambient Kind, Mos Eisley, Silberschwein, Propellor Knights) and countless studio-jobs for other clients and artists, but we had to wait an eon for his first real debut-EP.

“Eyjafjallajökull” (named after that moody icelandish volcano that hold europe’s airplanes in its grip for months) is a musical description that breaths the spirit of humbleness before nature’s power and magnificence while it might very well throw you inside boiling lava in the next moment. To complete that goal a handful of renown remixers of germany’s electronic breakbeat underground have tuned into their personal view on that topic. Desmond Denker (Basspräsidium), Noize Creator (Suburban Trash), Echology (Uncanny Valley) and Bob Humid (Serve & Destroy Rec.) have all tweaked their machines to the extremes. This is Dubstep in its most playful variance and versatility.

Bob Humid - "How Many Fingers?" [Original Album Version]

"The “B-Side” - with its John Barry-esque harmonies and very tweaky upbeats and breaks - suits perfectly to the mission: “And The Prototype Smiled...” is one of those extremly rare tracks that feature sophisticated sound-design and manual hyper-editing that was so typical from the era when producers like Photek and Hidden Agenda where concordantly considered the upmost club music elite by the media. So don’t you wonder: Bob kept this extraordinary track, which he produced back in 1999(!), hidden in his vaults for 15 years, just to wait for the perfect moment to release it..."

The Material [ADVANCED PROMO]

And The Prototype Smiled...


https://itunes.apple.com/de/album/you-lack-discipline/id392257121

From the fantastic near-hit single "I'm Not Comfortable Inside My Mind" and Warp Records´ cheapest ever video (£5, beat that Windowlicker), which was featured on MTV, to nude modelling and performance art stunts (including sponsored masturbation), the multi-costumed, multi-talented John Callaghan, from Birmingham (UK), is a performer of spiky and odd electro-cabaret with songs about hope, melancholia, timewasting and clothes. When a guy like him joins forces with the equally talented multi-instrumentalist and delirious song-writing artist Miss Hypnotique, the time continuum itself may vibrate in awe for the length of a song. Or at least you - the listener - might end up with a twisted new haircut. The latter will be much more probable if you play “You Lack Discipline” on a loud PA. 

“Kickass floorshaker with taste...the British Invasion via Montevideo...”
[BENWAY from KITBUILDERS about “Bob Humid’s Down With The Bastard RMX”]

“Allerdings! Super!” 
[ZERO CASH about BEIGE’s RMX]

“Super Track. Wirklich. Burner. Ich habe ja im September wieder einige passende Dates (Ilses Erika, Sweat Club, MB), da werde ich den einbauen, versprochen!”
[DJ KLANG SERGEJ from Brockdorff Klanglabor, Leipzig / Berlin]

“...Didnt take me to long to like it... What i liked the most is the "Rave" kind of feeling and the variations of the vocals... To found my self surprised in the extreme widening of the main voice... Nice and "Digital Like" as the decade we are experience right now... Has some "Balls" and a purposely distorted sound...;-)”
[THODORIS TRIANTAFILIOU / Novox / Rhythmetic / Greece]

“YOU LACK DISCIPLINE kommt mit klassischem Technobumsbass und Femalaggroelectroclashvocals im Cutup-Style daher. Angelehnt an Nu EBM Vibes baut sich Bob Humid’s “Down With The Bastard RMX” sehr gut nahtlos in ein dunkles Electroset ein.”
[CARBONID SOLO / Bomb Boutique DJ-Team]

Nuff said. [Bob Humid, September 2010]

04 John Callaghan and Hypnotique - You Lack Discipline [Bob Humid's Down With The Bastard RMX]

Does what it says. Play this loud. Preferably on a 20K Watts PA.

Bob Humid - Multi-Band Brainwash

"The hallmark of music, to my ears at least, is "does it stand the test of time". This track from Bob Humid is from 2001, but 'Preparation' sounds like it could have been made yesterday in any number of bunker-like studio's by mad electro scientist's who really need to get some sun. Glitch beats, but not to the point of distraction, a dark menacing void synth tone that stays where it should - ever in the background but letting you know it's there and creeping you out. Combine this with some deep bass drums for the speaker knockin' and you've got a track that tickles the abstract funny bone. This won't rattle any dancefloors, but it's not always about that is it? Recommended"

DJ Mad Wax / CITY OF BASS (2010)

Bob Humid - "Preparation"

this is a jammed live-version of “how many fingers?”, taken from my album "second wind phenomenon" that i played on the spectacular “electric eclectic / phantomnoise records & suburban trash industries labelnight” on the 12th of may in 2007. the gig took place in the impressive moritzbastei in leipzig, a wide ancient cellar that was re-discovered in the early 1970ies. imho one of the most spectacular places in germany to perform as an artist. the track was jammed live with a yamaha rs7000. the intro consisted of the hyped and pumped-up noise-hiss of the analogue mixer that ran through a chain of alesis mod/fx (bitrman -> philtre -> smashup) units. the hiss suddenly appeared at the sound-check stage, so i spontanously decided to use it. 

thanx to klang sergej for the awesome introduction and announcement. best one so far. ;-)

t w i l a . t o o  is a belgian singer, songwriter and composer. she lives in cologne since 2001, where she quickly took her place in the electronic scene. involved in many projects for labels as Ware, Ministry Of Sound, Serve & Destroy and BMG she put her voice on different shades of music, from house to downbeat, electro-clash or d'n'b. in her collaborations, we can count the names of Air Liquide, Bob Humid, Decomposed Subsonic, Featherweight, Hendrik Meyer, Ernest Drake & Twinpath. her own full-length debut-album Crossed Lines which you now hold in your hands represents twila.too's very personal and intimate view on song-based electronic music.

twila.too did always put importance and pleasure in playing live. she has experienced the stage-performance many times during the last years, mainly exploring electronic music and further back, indie-rock. in 2001 / 2002, she performed along with Bob Humid on his album-tour for the very highly acclaimed "twisted repairs / despairs" albums on Serve & Destroy. together they performed live-sets at WMF, Sensor, Mobilat, Golden Pudel, Liquid Sky (Sichtbar), Unique, Distillery and on countless other parties in germany´s suburbia. with sensitiveness and magic, twila.too knows her stuff and is an experienced guide in leading the listeners through a deep universe of atmospherical beauty, hope & despair.

C R O S S E D  L I N E S  is the name of twila.too's highly tweaked debut-album that you now hold in your hands. here the term "crossed lines" serves as a description for the general struggle of human communication by using the double meaning of a technical description borrowed from radio technology. sometimes our language interferes like complex airwaves. words and meanings cross-modulate at a twisted stage leading to distortion of meaning and misunderstandings. the answer is always between the lines...

this album was recorded, edited and produced over a period of more then 6 years with a great sense for detail and with upmost dedication. Bob Humid, who recorded, produced and engineered most of the tracks of the album, did a highly sophisticated job to preserve twila.too's original compositions while shaping them into a modern form, drawing lines between futuristic, modern and established electronical styles and her melancholic songwriting. with Numinos and Leschet & Wilde twila.too could win two additional respected production forces from cologne's well-developed electronic music underground that add an even different deep touch on the production. there is definetly something in cologne's water-system.
