Ugly Mac Beer, key figure in french beatmaking is back with a brand new single : "Listen to Me"

With this beautiful single Ugly Mac Beer recreates a 70's film music atmosphere through a captivating vocal sample, dazzling violins & its bright violins and its drums with the characteristic texture of the lofi hip hop sound.

"Listen to Me" is the first single from his forthcoming solo album "The Valley of the King" navigating between lofi, abstract hip-hop and even broken beat.

Listen To Me

William S. Burroughs – IN DUB
Conducted by Dub Spencer & Trance Hill
Echo Beach (EB100) – 15 tracks CD/15  tracks digital  
RELEASE:  14.03.2014
Limited Edition of 999 copies (paginated in a 6 page digipak)

Ever since the Swiss musicians ushered in the return of the Spaghetti Western to the world of dub with their debut album “Nitro”, they have impressed the press and audiences alike with their passion for playing, their sure instinct for sounds, their equally humorous and respectful dubification of popular hits (including Metallica’s Enter Sandman) and their immense technical skill. Riddim heard “a new sound-sphere where typical fat, stoic dub beats contrast with hand-played instruments and experimental sounds”. Jazzthetik praised the “fantastically tight band, formidable interior dynamic and supremely competent mixdowns”. Jazzthing wrote that “their psychedelic dub sound, which is occasionally interspersed by western guitar riffs and true rock solos, sounds wonderfully acoustic and analogue.” And The Wire had to admit that “it sounds cheesy and it shouldn´t work, but it does.”

Since their debut album the band have released five more studio albums, including the Clash tribute album “The Clashification of Dub”, plus a live album and a remix compilation with selective dubs by Victor Rice from Sao Paulo/Brazil.
Their new album celebrates William S. Burroughs and pays tribute his centenary, marking a new pop-cultural highlight in their work. With the official support and assistance of the William S. Burroughs Foundation in the United States, the band has succeeded in creating a heavy ambience masterpiece in 15 chapters. 

They roll through dub landscapes full of heavy reggae grooves and extraterrestrial electro sounds, carried by pumping bass lines whose hypnotic power clears the pathway to the centre and gently caresses the stomach. Floating above the dragging, instrumental reggae cut-ups that gently drift into psychedelic territory, the artfully diluted grooves, breaks and virtuoso hints, and the majestic slowness of the riddims, rises the voice of WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, beat poet, wanderer between worlds, junky supreme and counter-culture icon. His distinctive voice meets craggy soundscapes, harsh guitar chords and an acerbic Hammond organ which play off against each other in the mixing desk. Drenched in echo, the sounds in this dub treatment contravene the rules of space and time. They leave behind a wonderful feeling of confusion where listeners can relax and respectfully accompany the soul of their travelling companion William S. Burroughs on the path to eternity - a highly addictive sound experience.

Rey de Reyes (Basement Freaks Remix)

Ugly Mac Beer fait ses débuts à la fin des années 90, en tant que DJ du Groupe La Formule, aux côtés de Wax Tailor. Au cours des années 2000, souhaitant développer ses propres projets, il entame une carrière solo.

Très vite, il s'impose comme un personnage incontournable de la scène turntablism / scratch music en France, en tant qu'artiste, mais également en tant que producteur indépendant prolifique avec son label Beatsqueeze Records.

Au milieu des années 2000, il commence à collaborer avec le digger/beatmaker Mister Modo. De cette alchimie va naitre une suite de projets jalonnés de nombreuses collaborations internationales avec des grands noms de cette culture comme MF Grimm, Kool Keith, Psycho Les (Beatnuts), Guilty Simpson, Mike Ladd, El Da Sensei, Dj D-Styles…

En 2009, la sortie de l'album Modonut reçoit une belle exposition médiatique et un vrai succès auprès d’un public plus large. Le titre "Not Afraid" (ft Jessica Fitoussi) aux accents soul 70' est largement programmé en radio et permet au duo d’être diffusé internationalement. Le deuxième opus du duo, sobrement intitulée "Modonut 2" sort en 2012 et donne naissance cette fois à un banger hip-hop « Diggin in the Crates » (ft F.Stokes) plébiscité par des DJ’s autant eu Europe qu’en Amérique du Nord

De plus en plus demandé du côté du monde de la publicité et du cinéma pour de la synchronisation à l’image, Ugly Mac Beer se découvre une passion pour l’audiovisuel. Inspiré depuis toujours par la télévision, la pop culture, le cinéma et la musique au sens large, il trouve sa place aujourd’hui comme compositeur à plein temps de musique à l’image.
