RuFFM am 29.03.2008 mit Calibre

Dominick Martin, auch bekannt als Calibre, hat einige der schönsten D&B-Tracks produziert und hält die Drum&Bass-Szene auch weiterhin mit seinen Produktionen in Atem. Seit seiner ersten LP auf Creative Source bis zum aktuelleren Album “Second Sun” auf Signature, seinem eigenen Label, hat sich sein Sound mit Einflüssen aus Jazz, Funk, Dub und Techno weiterentwickelt. Durch die Veröffentlichung von Misti:cals Debütalbums “Eleventh Hour” (zusammen mit Marcus Intalex und ST Files produziert), der Compilation “Shelflife” und ein bald erscheinendes Album war 2007 eines von Calibre’s arbeitsreichsten und besten Jahren. In seinen Sets präsentiert er oft die deep side of drum&bass und enttäuscht auch die tanzwütige Crowd nie.

Almost every weekend, he spun the records with DJs such as “Hype”, “Grooverider”, Mickey Finn, “LTJ Bukem”, “Brian G”, Roni Size and “Andy C”. Shortly afterwards, the Vibration team initiated the party series MEDITATION, where E.Decay was involved as musical consultant and as DJ.

In 1996 E.Decay together with his long time partner and friend Oliver Bendig aka OCB decided to start their own Label U3R Music and the Rawhill Cru, which within short time turned out to be one of the most successful underground labels of the German Drum and Bass scene.

RuFFM am 12.01.2008 mit Total Science

The pair first met in 1987, both living in and around the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, England and brought together through a mutual love of hip-hop and school girls. Greenhalgh was the first into the studio, with ‘Freestyle Fanatic’ launching his career in 1991. However it was the establishment of the Legend imprint and specifically Greenhalgh’s ‘Champion Sound’, which really took their profile above and beyond the slew of anonymous white labels that were dominating the music at the time.
After six years of recording singles for Legend and others, the pair established the CIA label and changed their name to the now familiar Total Science guise in the closing months of 1997, with the help of Brillo from Timeless. The release of their Silent Reign EP for Goldie#s Metalheadz breathed a new lease of life into the project, and the pair achieved a further boost with a well-timed Bad Company remix of ‘Champion Sound’ which conjured further interest in what they were doing with their own label. Their debut album Advance exposed a further field of interest, with down-tempo experiments logged as a series of ‘Breaks’ on the majority of their early EP’s extended to some superb deep house, this breadth was taken a step further with their Skin Deep imprint which has forged broken beat to considerable acclaim.
‘Mars Needs Total Science’, the guys third album, was released mid 2006 and saw instant success with album single ‘Never Had a Dream’ reaching Number 1 in the UK Dance charts and a host of tracks from it being played by the likes of Hype, Fabio, Golde, Zane Lowe, Ronnie herel and Trevor Nelson. Q-Project finally finished his exellent debut solo lp ‘Renassance Man’ which was released on Hospital in late Autumn.
2007 has seen the Oxford duo team up with DJ Marky’s label Innerground to form ‘CINNA’ The last release ‘2nd Date’ featured vocals from Ayah and was a hot favourite, doing the rounds of the D&B circuit and even found it’s way into the record box of superstar House DJ: Pete Tong!! Mid 2007, TS collaborated with fellow Brazilian wonderboy: Bungle on a track entitled ‘Snake Eyes’. This was one of many popular tracks that featured on Bungle’s debut CIA LP: ‘Down to Earth.’
Collaborations aside, TS have kept themselves busy remixing classic tunes: ‘Secada’ by Zero T & Beta 2 and ‘Dubplate’ by Wots My Code, whilst Q Project recently embarked on his own project to set up an imprint focused entirely on showcasing Q Project music: ‘Machine Funk’.
At present the guys have just finished a new 12 for Metalheadz and are currently working on their fourth album, which is scheduled to complete early 2008.
