Better watch your back! There are kids in town & they dont take prisoners. It all started at the corner in 1999 with some secret music software & some virgin beats. Shortly Inverse Cinematics (IC) duo (Danilo Plessow (aka DITD, Hipster Wonkaz, Analogue Haze, Dizaine etc) & Joachim Tobias(J°)) tracks were appearing on different compilations and remixes were showing up here & there... Remember the two noisy releases: Slow Swing EP on Pulver Records, that was licensed to one of the Fabric CD series & their cheeky breaks anthem Shoot The Pianist on Fluid Ounce, which quickly found its way onto the playlists of all the top disc-jockeys worldwide? And what about the latest Detroit Jazzin? On joining F-A-C-E-S records the boys with the frequencies return with this fine record called Vogelhaufen EP & keep on refining bass to a murderous artform. Taking influences from jazz, hip hop, funk, house & mysterious songs of some weirdo-birds these tracks mix up contemporary styles to create deep, downtempo & dancefloor soul. You can here recognize Pet Legs original from the reasonably encomiastic Shoot the Pianist LP. The Tape remix is following a similar line of unassuming groovy hip hop, with overwhelming aura of futuro jazz in fact providing a perfect smell of the underground tubes & metro stops. Ye Solàr trio works on Burnout adding smooth & moody jazz flavour live interpretations and makes sure the sound is fresh and yet will last over time. Another one in the vein of what on earth they were thinkin moments from IC is 7by7 which brings us into a solid twisted jazz track. MLK & Dem flip-flopping between dark samples and weirdcore soundbites with an ever-constant barrage of breaks and beats underneath get you from a mid morning wake straight ahead to the dancefloor. Inverse Cinematics have quietly built up a reputation for excellent brokenbeats and more. They are getting into deep water, in some cases to the point where there's no turning back. How are you feeling about this? About FACES Records Everything started in 2002 as Pablo Valentino convinced the duo Zero dB to entrust him with a serious mission: create Faces Records an offshoot for their Latin-hip-jazz-hop-break-beat label Fluid Ounce.
