BOOZOO BAJOU (!K7 Records)
After 10 years of forward-thinking musical fusion, Boozoo Bajou return with their most seductive and sophisticated album yet, 'Grains'. The producers Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider are already widely respected around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin and dub elements. But on 'Grains', the Nuremberg duo take a lighter and brighter path, absorbing acoustic folk and classic songwriting into their progressive musical journey.
Boozoo Bajou earned global attention with their irresistible breakthrough single 'Night Over Manaus' in 1998, their 2001 debut album 'Satta' and its 2005 sequel 'Dust My Broom'. They also demonstrated their excellent and wide-ranging musical taste on two excellent mix compilations, 'Juke Joint' and 'Juke Joint II'. Yet 'Grains' marks a dazzling new chapter in Boozoo Bajou's career. This is the duo's most organic album so far, making beautiful new sounds by blending modern studio electronics with live instruments and guest vocals. An album of underground and experimental sounds, but based on strong melodies and emotionally charged vocals.
As on their previous albums, Boozoo Bajou have made something fresh and modern from their old-school inspirations, weaving them into their 21st century studio soundscapes. "We didn't try to make an authentic West Coast album, it's just that laidback California thing was in the back of our minds," Florian explains. "It coloured the whole thing." 'Grains' is another lovely acid-folk ballad with a broad cinematic sweep. "With this track especially, we had the West Coast feel," says Florian. "I really get a feeling of oceans when I hear this, a wide Pacific Ocean."
Both inside and out, 'Grains' is an intoxicating mix of past, present and future. A folk songbook for the 21st century. A soulful statement for today. Boozoo Bajou have made their finest album to date.

KERAMICK & LOBO (Exogenic Breaks)
Keramick & Lobo is a project by two long time friends and emerging electronic music producers Jussi Mikkonen and Visa Mäkinen hailing from Helsinki, Finland. They have been experimenting with hip hop, downtempo and such since their young teens. Both of them have a background in musical studies and a great passion for producing the electronic sounds.
The music of the duo can be described as melodic and electro-acoustic. As their sound borrows a lot from electronic music styles such as idm, downtempo,ambient and glitch, it also compiles the characteristics of acoustic music like jazz, dub, pop and even a bit of rock. This reflects in a heavy use of instruments such as electric bass, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards and drums mixed together in a subtle fusion with the computer programming and electronic aspects. Their newer music also features guest musicians, which widens their instrumental spectrum with instruments like acoustic bass, reed and brass instruments and even vocalists.
The debut-album Digital White was released as a small pressing through their own indie-label Freaky Beats Productions in July of 2007 and in worldwide mp3-distribution by Exogenic Breaks Records in October 2008. They are currently working on their second full-length album which scheduled to be released in April 2009.
