Their recent single 'Another Place' gained national airplay on Dermot O Leary's BBC2 show and Lauren Laverne's BBC6 Show. They have also been played on BBCR1, BBC London. 2009 saw them once again support Emiliana Torrini on her UK tour and released their eponymously titled album on April 13th after a performance at LA's Troubadour. They were recently featured on Nick Harcourts' KCRW show and 'Sideways Throught Sound' on Sydneys 2SER.

Die Veröffentlichung der gemeinsamen Split-Single: BrokenHeartHotel wollen die Bremer Rap/Punk Formation Trennkost Ungeheuer und die Kölner Electro-Dub/Breakbeat Band Bam Bam Babylon Bajasch mit einem Konzert feiern.
Bam Bam Babylon Bajasch spielen einen Energie geladenen Mix aus Electro-Dub, Jungle, Breakbeat und Punk. Gesungen werden die oft politischen Texte auf deutsch und englisch. Dabei wird dann auch mal auf Kölsch getoastet. Das sie live mit großem Spaß auf die Bühne stehen haben sie dieses Jahr schon auf der Fusion bewiesen.
Trennkost Ungeheuer machen Rap mit deutschen Texten, fern üblicher Rap-Klischees. Im Vordergrund stehen persönliche Ansichten über politisches und Banales. Ab der hälfte ihres Sets verwandelt sich Trennkost dann in Diskordian Disko und präsentieren ihre Lieder im Punk/Hardcore Gewand. Ihrer Musik machen sie mit einem Musikprogramm für die Playstation1. Messedisko machen 80er punkstep mit metallton einflüssen.
The Incredible Hexadecibels (Neuseeland) sind: “NEW ZEALAND’S ONLY LIVE BREAKCORE / NECRO BOOTY BASS / MURDER RAP MULTIMEDIA ENSEMBLE. SO, PUT THAT IN YA PIPE ! “
