Rube & Skin, plus the frequent vocal contributions of Bavu, Krack, Chuck, Azeem, Grand Supreem, MYK, Tahiti, Mes the Jive Turkey and most recently Al Lyric
Hydro is the hub of production team/lab rats Rube and Skin. The
first release, Routine Insanity, dropped on Sound Evolution/Universal
in October of 2000 and garnered much love from URB, XLR8R, CMJ and
the like. RI is a soulful amalgam of Hip-Hop, Dub, and all relevant electronic
dancefloor goodness. Rooted in the classic dusted drum sound, Hydro
enlisted the talents of Headkrack, MYK, Soule, Cold Cris, Grand Supreem
and Skwod X and blended them with high caliber studio musicians. Bavu
Blakes, Chucky Sly and Azeem came into the fold and Hydro launched their
own Alternate Take Records to put out "grids/loops/intersections," as well
as the Central Standards (Rehash, Hydro, Com:plex, Rerog, Equipt &
Polyoctopus) and Southern Borders Soul Music (Strange Fruit Project,
Headkrack & The Are, Bavu Blakes, Nicknack, & Hydro) compilations.
Remixes have been done for the Bastard Jazz and icon.recordings labels
and assorted releases have dropped on Bomb Hip-Hop & Swedish Brandy, which will
be the home of the new full-length CD, Mixtape Mentality, to be released
in Spring of '06. Sign up for the Hydro e-letter at http://hydroponicsoundsystem.com or http://www.alt-take.com.

Subdub&Exodus, New Bohemia, Vagabondz & The Doctors Orders have joined forces with Compost Records and the radio show Soulsearching to bring you an incredibly special weekend of music covering the best in Dubstep, reggae, hiphop, broken beat, drum & bass and dance-floor soul music on a setting taken straight from paradise.
The festival site is in the gorgeous surroundings of Petrcane, close to Zadar, A fishing village on a peninsular where the Dalmation Coast meets The Adriatic Sea. For those in the know it will be recognised as the same sight that the Garden Festival is held. It has an outside Amphitheatre for live acts, a Beach Side Terrace for day & night time dancing and a 1000 capacity nightclub for the beats to go on right through the night.
At this beautiful site you can swim in the glistening Adriatic, dance on the beach under the stars, join us aboard the swashbuckling Argonaut Boat Party, get your groove on to a Funktion 1 Soundsystem in a retro Studio 54 styled nightclub or relax beneath the pines along the forested coastline.
Other acts confirmed include:
Foreign Beggars Dj Chef/Chefal Bun Zero Ruckspin SMB INC & Medison Fliptrix Mc's Jila Andlar & Gusto + more to follow
