26/4 Looptroop, Loxy & Ink, All out dubstep mfl @ Traffic, Allhuset, 22-05

FORM ONE:

Born and raised in Sweden, until now mainly known for its bikini teams, Absolut vodka and the Nobel Prize, Johan Reinhold popularly known as Form One found his calling as an MC in his late teens. Today considered as one of the most prolific and successful European rappers rhyming in English.

Known for his wordplay, lyrical performance and presence on the mic which also earned him to collaborate with such US MC’s like Canibus, Sean Price (Heltah Skeltah, Bootcamp Click), Chino XL, A.G. (D.I.T.C.), Yak Ballz (the Weathermen), Copywrite, Camu Tao (Def Jux), Maylay Sparks and Akrobatik to name a few.

Form One’s critically acclaimed debut album "Meet Johnny Rhino" (released in 2005) was praised in media all over the world and also nominated in Sweden for "independent hip hop album of the year". All this opened up new doors and allowed Form One to tour Europe at sold out venues alongside Looptroop, Samy Deluxe and German reggae phenomenon Nosliw.

Now Form One is ready to reintroduce himself to a world where hip hop has become a popularity contest and doing so with his futuristically vintage soul sound. He refuses to dumb down his music and conform to the formula of creating the next big ringtone-bubblegum-rap-song. Instead he flips the script and takes it back to the days when artists like A Tribe Called Quest was at the peak of their fame. When rappers had something to say and made music that mattered. Only this time Form One and longtime producer friend, Astma has found a unique way of mixing the old with the new thus creating something completely fresh for 2008 and inspiring for the fans.

Form One’s new album entitled “Behind Blue Eyes” can be described as commercially viable music that both entertain and educates, but also let’s you reflect on what he just said in his songs long after they end. It is music that all people can relate to. That all ages can appreciate whether you’re a fan of hip hop or not. It is simply good music – period.

The first single taken from the album is "Money" which features singer/ songwriter Vincent and is produced by Astma. In stores now!

INK:

An architect of sound first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink...

Tribal/ Bboy/ Mechanical/Organic/Abstract/Groove

Ink built architecture recordings as an outlet for his musical output-solely to get good music on the shelves, fast fwd to today and the label is held in massive regard by peers, new producers and veterans alike, but in order to really get the essence we need to go back, way back

Its 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genre’s forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-it is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence , and of course this is music to a budding Dj Ink’s ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark..

First begins the Pirate Radio Circuit, working hard at his craft, allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadlily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-and they were Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware

If your familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you are not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the work they have done, Hardware, and Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time...

Essential work includes “The 50th (Blueprint)”on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory Ep’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ Also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves...

Horsemen, Unifying the four corners... In order to find strength in numbers and to truly be able to judge how far the sound has travelled you can look to the international crew of beat-makers alligned under the Horsemen banner. Originally 4 UK london artists Dj Ink, Loxy, Keaton+Dylan, and then expanded to include Countries such as Canada, Brazil,The USA and Puerto Rico, Ink worked with Renegade Hardware to Realize two Lp’s from the Horsemen Camp and orchestrated various other Projects for Architecture.

LOXY:

Loxy began raving (Jedi training) in 89/90 at events like telepathy and just fell for the culture. Got serious and decided to become a part of the movement and perfected his craft soon after. Being from the B-Boy backgorund, it wasn’t totally alien getting into the vibe of this new phenominon - which was then known as acid house, soon to become what we know and love as drum & bass.

Loxy’s first dj gigs were in 1990 at Psychotic and Time events. Since then he has held down residencies at Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware & Therapy and has played at events such as Club Jungle, Desire, Logical Progression, Speed, Swerve, Elevation, One Nation, Slammin Vinyl, Valve, Break Beat Kaos, Revolution, Legend of the Dark, Movement, The End, Theory and many more...

Around 93/94 Loxy ventured into production leading to many releases on some of the most respected Drum & Bass labels as well as collaborations with others including: bad Company, Ink, keaton, Dylan, Digital, Gremlinz, Verse, Manifest, Bay B, Kane, T.D.K., Swift, Zinc, Amaning, Sin, D kay, J. Dub, Damage, Usual Suspects & Universal Project. On top of all of this, Loxy is also the owner of the following labels: Karma, X-Tinction Agenda, Cylon & X-Factor

detta blir grymt!

Detta kommer bli den fetaste festen i sveriges historia. Att se och höra Loxy droppa sina mörka och djupa beats på det ljudet tillsammans med Dejakru's geniala visuals, kommer innebära en eufori utöver det vanliga. Jag kommer förmodligen bryta ihop på dansgolvet för att det kommer va så himla vackert.
