"I'm a soldier from a past life,
I fight a war in a day,
Blood drips from my last fight,
But I wipe yours away."
--NiBB
Fuck this, i dont need it.
It sure doesnt need me,
i'll bite my own hand,
cos it's the one that feeds me
--Ollie Ox
From Lounge Productions:
"Bred from the shadows of 'sub-terrain labels,' Qbist Sound System delivers a hypnotic musical presence. With considerable technical knowledge and an over active imagination, Qbist Sound System achieves genre-breaking sets. After 2 years of live production performances and Drum & Bass DJ sets while working along side international acts, Qbist Sound System relocated to Austin, Texas. Following his arrival, Qbist Sound System produced their first release "Illatronix," featuring vocals by Gray Matter, Catlin, GReal and Lauren Fine.
Qbist Sound System followed up this underground classic with their self-titled album again featuring the artist, Gray Matter. The harmonics of this production are highlighted by the "edge of reason" lyrics of Gray Matter and features artists: Doug B Fresh and Joe Average. Since 2001, Qbist Sound System has performed live in various Austin venues, including Ruta Maya, Flamingo Cantina, Emo's and Spiro's in addition to sharing the stage with legendary underground acts like lyrics born, typical cats, 2mex, life.rexall, xololonxinxo, canartic, al-haca sound system, ed-rush and optical, roni size, and architektur. Qbist Sound System's live show features a musical collage of Dub, Electronica, Hip Hop, Reggae, and World music. Qbist Sound System has been described as 'the Campbell's of musical soup. Qbist delivers hearty and warm fulfillment of chunky music in a broth of bass.'"
