First ever Hard:edged digital release out now:
A: Dub Tao - Liberation
AA:Dub Tao - Deep Drawn
The first harde:edged digital release kicks off with two awfully deep basslines by Dub Tao. While “Liberation” delivers funky string stabs and rhodes on top, “Deep Drawn” brings you down on your knees sweetened by a vibrant melodica. Once again Dub Tao show a tasteful sense of style and put it all together in their unique way. Liberation through music- that’s what they call it.
Hard:edged Story:
Hard:edged emerged as from Berlinâs industrial warehouses. It began as
merely a name to the face of
the first rate drumân bass parties. The founders had set out to create an
atmosphere for Berlinâs
drumân bass scene that would exhibit the music in itâs purest form. Their
combination of first rate sound
and visual technology rendered hard:edged the most unique and stimulating
addition the Berlin drumân
bass scene had yet to see. It was not long before the word on hard:edged had
crossed the channel
and spread among some of the finest DJâs and MCâs in the UK. The high
quality that defined
hard:edged parties radidly gained reputation in the UK and soon names like
J. Majik, Bailey, Kemistry
& Storm, MC Flux, Grooverider and Goldie became regular Contributors to
hard:edged evenings. The
positive support of these Uk artists, coupled with the undeniable talent of
the hard:edged residents
Metro, BassDee, Most Wanted, Bleed, Xplorer & MC White resulted as the
perfect combination.
Hard:edged soon became recognized as a synonym for Berlinâs most ambituous
and advanced
component of the cityâs life by night.
It then became apparent, that the demand for hard:edged style drumân bass
exceeded what the
irregular warehouse parties could offer. It was at this time that the crew
made their move to the WMF,
berlinâs most respected club at that time, where they wound begin offering
their weekly Friday parties.
Week after week hard:edged steady rocked 1000 drumân bass addicts, reaching
standards in sound,
video and style comparable to those of Metalheadz in London. It was nobodyâs
surprise that the likes
of Kemistry & Storm quickly became hard:edged monthly residents and artists
like Bailey, Lee and MC
Flux considered hard:edged a home away from home. Not to mention that every
major figure in the
drumân bass scene in Germany was eventually looking forward to their guest
spot on a hard:edged line
up.
The consistant hard work and methodology of the hard:edged residents and
founders has, without a
doubt, placed them at the front of the drumân bass scene in Germany. This
club-found success
prepared hard:edged to begin expanding itself in more directions. Logically,
the next progression
included the founding of their own label, hard:edged music, which today is
run by DJ Metro. DJâs and
producers in Germany who subscribed to the hard:edged perspective on drumân
bass eventually found
their home with the new label. The first 12â came fast and a deal with
international Distributors
ensured tracks from X-Plorer & Dee Pulse, One:Soul, Hexer, Kabuki etc. the
desired exposure in the
UK. Soon the first compilation was released and became one of the best
selling Drumân bass
compilations in germany. The next Step in the progression, the first
artist-album on the label, soon to
be followed by a Remix EP by respected artists from all genres as Hefner,
Pentagon, Sebo K. and
others was released in 2002.
Hard:edged has just moved out of WMF and built up their very own club called
âWATERGATEâ, which
they run 3 days a week including the traditional hard:edged friday night.
Also the next hard:edged
compilation is already in the pipeline, âThe Watergate Files Vol.1â is going
to be a mix cd by djmetro
containing exclusive tracks from german and international artists that have
been playing in the club
since itâs opening in late 2002. No doubt this is going to take h:e to yet
another level...
