Bob Marley as (hopefully) every reggae-influenced project, Bill Laswell, Burning Spear (in Dub), Nils Petter Molvaer, Scientist, King Tubby, Sly and Robbie, Upsetters, Lee Perry, Ninja-Tune early years - all between heavy dub, jazz, roots reggae, warm electronica and every artist coming with intransigent style. inspiration everywhere.
The new heroes of the spaghetti western are from Switzerland! They are riding their monster dub through the urban jungle of the 21st century!
Since 2003 DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL has been part of the European Dub scene. In 2006 the German label with cult status „Echo Beach“(Dub Syndicate, Seeed, King Tubby...) signed DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL and released their first album „Nitro” which received critical acclaim. The influential German Reggae magazine „Riddim“ voted „Nitro“ „Dub Album of the month“, and compares the Band with the legendary “Dub Syndicates”.
Dub Spencer & Trance Hill played over a hundred club- and festivalshows, including Summerjam Köln, Reggae Summer Chiemsee, Gurten Festival, Jazzfestival Willisau and Schaffhausen, Weedbeat Reggae Festival, Reeds Reggae Festival and many more. After “Return Of The Supercops” (2007) the new album “Riding Strange Horses” will be released in January 2010.
Press Quotations:
„.... psychedelic Reggae...highly addictive. “
„ One could easily compare DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL with Scorn meets King Tubby meets Pink Floyd“
“This is out of sight! The drums sound fantastically original, the bass reminds of Bill Laswell, their combination of trance and dub is unique!”
“It is amazing how Dub Spencer & Trance Hill use the elements of Dub to take wild rides into the distance”

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
