HIS_STORY..
... started djing in the 80´s in a youthclub. In those days he played Hip Hop and Reggae, and also started 2 Mc´s to the flipsides of those ol` tunes. The Drum and Bass project Kingpress was founded in 1994. Kingpress are me, Mighty Flores & K-TEE, Dj J. Buzz (FRANZ S.). We met on Soundsystem partys (I n I Sound) ), which where held by J. Buzz and some friends like K-Ross (nowadays Culture Rock Soundsystem; big up) from on the early 90´s in underground clubs in Düsseldorf like
La Mama (a pizzeria, which had a little cellar underneath the four table restaurant). They played Ragga, Hip Hop & Rare Grooves that days. I got involved in that Soundsystem as MC. When I heard the first Uk hardcore tunes like „The Rebel Mc“ & „The Ragga Twins“ and then in ´93 the first Jungle tunes, I was taken by storm on that sound. So I continued to do the soundsystem thing, but realised after a short period, that I wanted to do my own sound and trax. Because I was playing in a band (International Dub System) it was not a big step 2 buy my first computer with a cheap sound card and to produce the first tunes. We ran two drum and bass clubs (one in Düsseldorf in a place called Jungle for a year) and one with DJ THYSON in Collogne in a place called Kitt Club. I made contact to other Drum & Bass Dj´s, Mc´s, producers and labels.
The actz & labels
Step by step we build up our own studio, which is on a high quality standard today and well known for it´s powerfull and dynamic output. To seperate our styles we decided to have different acts, which could produce for severall labels, such as
BASSWERK, THYPHON, WICKED WAX, and later KONTER, PATHFINDER and DRAFT, which are all german labels and stand for the advanced sound in the national D & B and electronics area. The names of our acts are kingpress, Mighty Flores J. Buzz , Recycle, Shareoine (with our new member K-Tee), Sky Larkin and on COMPILER 003t he latest with DJ TYSON and FALCON. Kingpress is also the name of the collective or projekt. At the moment there are several releases out on the street (see discographie) and I am working on the second Mighty Flores LP. The third record of my own label is now on the streets, the label is called compiler.
I also work for the new NU BEATZ / 2Step label GUSHCOLLECTIVE (soon comming with the 2nd LP).
As 2SMART, together with the house legend TYREE COOPER on an album and just signed a track to PHILIPP MAIBURGS label COMBINATION RECORDS for the next TRAFFIC COMPILATION.
the sound & philosophy..
-The sound can be very minimal, but what u hear has to be nailed 2 the floor, it is also very wide open, futuristic soundscapes, hard stabs, nanodeep bleeps, bad sawtooth bass, rolling beats, very on the moment, searching boundaries to break.
I like to create tracks and tunes, that please our desire for a new innercity feeling and a glowing and promising future.
Trax that make ya dance and rinse out, but also too put u in various moods, head out of your car window and fast forward.
Music is an artform and I like too keep it extraordanary and exclusive but also keepin´ it in the red and hardcore.
I give ` respeckt to any Dj, Mc, PRODUCER & espacily every DANCER for puttin´ in energy and enthusiasm,`cause thats what its all about , the dancin` CREWS !
So hol` thight an` keep it in the red!
