LYNX & KEMO – “The Raw Truth” >Soundtrack to future revolution<
(Out on Soul:r in April 2009)
In a world of lies, corruption and superficiality, these inner city rebels refuse to play along. Perfecting orchestra, detailed compositions, Lynx has been referred to as the future of Drum & Bass for his progressive ideas and technical genius. Kemo gives the revolutionary movement a voice wth his deep, moody poetry –rapped with eloquent flow, spoken with utmost sincerity. Strength lies not in volume, but in depth and balance. The songs are laced with elaborate songwriting,reduced to the core concept, and the essence is undelined and highlighted. The songs contain gigantic peaks reached through silent gaps. Everything has a purpose. Space is essential. This is full spectrum music. From the soul. Urban, yet organic, the Lynx & Kemo sound is both sophisticated and street. “The Raw Truth” is a timeless album that belongs in the shelf alongside Massive Attack, Burial, Tricky, Prodigy, Faithless and Wu-Tang Clan. No need to label this Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep fusion. This is true music from the soul. Songs not singles. Combining to a soundtrack to future revolution.
Lynx & Kemo bring a fresh and unique approach to their music, creating their own vibe and by doing so immediately gaining the respect of many of the heavyhitters in the scene. Their tracks appeal to artists across the drum and bass community and are being rinsed by the likes of Calibre, Marcus Intalex, Doc Scott, Fabio, Grooverider, Andy C, Hype, Shy FX, Marky, Zinc and many more. 2007 and Lynx & Kemo’s first release ‘Global Enemies’ saw its release on Soul:r, to accolades by the scene’s top DJ’s. Closely followed by the equally impressive "Carnivale" later in 2007, which firmly cemented Lynx and Kemo as the most exciting and original Drum & Bass act to surface in years.
Lynx has established a reputation for his technical ability and his innovation. Soul:r, Creative Source, Digital Soundboy and Bingo are just some of the leading labels he’s released on and are proof that his sound is not only fresh but also diverse. With massive tracks including ‘Disco Dodo’ being played on Radio 1 and Kiss FM every day for months, Lynx has clearly demonstrated that he’s not afraid to break the mould whilst staying true to his own style.
Kemo's global upbringing allowed him access to a wide variety of cultures and experiences. This is clearly reflected in his musical work - ranging from Dubstep to Techno, from Drum & Bass to Hip Hop - being championed by DJs as diverse as Laurent Garnier, Zed Bias, Pendulum and DJ Hype. Lynx & Kemo now have been a heavyweight DJ & MC duo on the scene for two years, touring Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Russia, Canada, USA, Brazil, and all over the UK & Europe. Their floor-igniting sets have made them a regular at Fabric & The End, leading to three of their tracks being featured on Marcus Intalex's Fabric Live CD.

Since settling
in the UK
in 2002, Jamaican born FUTUREMAN has established himself as one of the most
versatile performers on the scene. Fusing Dancehall, Reggae and Hip-Hop into an
eclectic vibe, his debut album, I Am Good Enough (2008), will
appeal to anyone with an ear for a tune and spring in their step.
At a time when
negativity rules, his lyrics - a mix of the constant struggles of life and how
we should count our blessings - are based upon his experiences in Jamaica’s
ghetto life, yet focus upon positivity and optimism, leaving violence and
pessimism at the door. All the tracks upon the album are written by FUTUREMAN,
except for track 17, which is a collaboration with White. All tracks are
produced by Edixion, Roadz and Neno, and it is available online at iTunes, HMV
and Emusic.
Born Zemroy
Thomas, FUTUREMAN was raised in St Ann Jamaica, the
birthplace of Bob Marley, and started singing at school, home and in church as
soon as he could talk. Influenced by the rich diversity of the Jamaican music
scene, he started writing his own songs aged 12, and performed at a wide range
of street dances and singing competitions as a teenager, winning more than he
lost.
Since arriving
in the UK,
he’s been introduced to a wide range of Grime and Hip-Hop artists, and has
subsequently written and performed in collaboration with them.
To fuel his
march to the top, FUTUREMAN works as a key worker at a special needs school,
looking after children with Autism, ADHD and Tourettes, yet despite this gruelling
schedule, he has still managed to perform frequently in Kent and surrounding
