The Zengineers consist of Phour Trakk and Sick-E who formed the band in 2005. After having produced truckloads of tracks and beats on their own they decided to finally join forces in the probably vain attempt to save the world from whack muzak. Their influences range from electronic music in general to Hip Hop, Jazz, Trip Hop, Worldmusic and Drum and Bass, an eclectic mixture heavily influencing their own production-style.
NEW ALBUM: SICK-E - GENOTYPE JAZZ
Progress seems to be the very nature of the universe as we know it. All living things are ever moving and changing, striving for something just a step beyond the horizon. Nevertheless, sometimes it is a good idea to come to a halt in this evolutionary rat race, turn around and ponder how we got here in the first place. This is why Sick-E has been taking some time off his musical flagship that is the Zengineers for a trip down memory lane, resulting in an LP that takes the listener back into the musical past in a number of ways. With Genotype Jazz, Sick-E gives a nod and a bow to the icons of mid-90s triphop that first introduced him to the possibilities of non-analogue music. And in a way quite similar to the likes of DJ Krush, RJD2 or The Herbalizer he also pays homage to the half-forgotten realms of old jazz and funk sounds, wrapped in heart-warming pops and crackles. On a different level, Genotype Jazz also harks back to the first tracks the Zengineers produced as a newly formed team back in 2005. In this spirit the album hovers from moody and atmospheric downtempo beats to re-assembled funkbreaks and back, sometimes even venturing into pop territory, with a distinct jazzy vibe telling you that you are still on track. And of cause at the very end it delivers the obligatory co-production with Zengineer’s Phour Trakk, linking it all back to the musical present and future.
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW: "PHOUR TRAKK - SLIP INTO SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE"
When the god of small things and the Indian goddess of music get together, then Phour Trakk might be the cause. After his previous side trip to the roaring maze of western metropolises, he packs his bags again in order to leave eastbound while in his mind he has already arrived there. And it goes without saying that he has remembered to slip into clothes both typical for the country and comfortable.
Consequently, his fourth EP on iD.EOLOGY comes along in a guise just as colourful, elegant and rich in texture as a dhoti by Manish Malhotra. Hilarious Bollywood-style vocals meet earthy downbeats, eastern harmonies contrast smoky blue-notes and breezy tabla-rhythms blend with deep fretless basses heavy as lead. While the memories of the skyscrapers' silhouettes slowly fade, all these details, all these small things coalesce to generate a wistful anticipation of a far-away culture.
Before fascination and rapture now make you light a candle and start making oblations to the gods, you might as well slip into something more comfortable and give this e.p. another thorough listen or two. After all, Phour Trakk has hidden quite a few more niceties for the attentive listener. Or was this, too, the god of small things in the end?
NEW DOUBLE ALBUM OUT NOW! ZENGINEERS - The Return of Intelligence: Yamiyo & Hikari
If you have a mission to fulfill, you might be well-advised to activate a network of supporters. In the case of Zengineers the mission is to revive a musical language written off by many with some new content.
A network, consisting of the netlabels iD.EOLOGY and musicartistry, is already there to back them up. And so their dichotomic approach to the question whether these days there still is anything left to say on the topic of drum'n'bass bestows upon us a netaudio-premiere in the shape of a double-album release divided upon two netlabels. "Hikari" and "Yamiyo" act complementary to one another in style and content and yet the two halves unite 24 tracks, on which Zengineers easily recombine genre characteristics of past and present days with stylistic tidbits from synthpop-vocals to world-music-vibes and jazz-elements.

Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt auch selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
