▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Kabuki aka Jan Hennig belongs to the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ most experienced German drum&bass ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ deejays. We were lucky enough to be able ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ to follow his career as a producer ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ during the last seven years, on the ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Precision Breakbeat Research label, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ co-founded by his partner Mainframe. He ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ also manages the label Spectrum Works, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ to offer us musical experiments below the ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ drum&bass speed limit. Kabuki began his ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ curriculum in music as a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ student on classical guitar at Dr. Hochs ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Konservatorium in Frankfurt. He also ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ studied jazz theory, aural training and ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ composition at the American Institute ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ of Music in Vienna, the European ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ version of the famous Hollywood ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Musicians Institute. ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Together with his partner Mainframe he ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ produced the first drum&bass album. ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Under their project name Megashira they ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ released a very well received cd and lp on ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ the Frankfurt labelInfracom in 1996. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Soon after this success, the duo ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ founded their label Precision ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Breakbeat Research, to be able to ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ publish 12" singles under their own ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ name. Under the name of ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ Makaithey had already released two maxis ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ with the sophisticated British ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ drum&bass label No U-Turn and soon after ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ that, the first Makai album Millenium was ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ produced. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ The success of the first Makai album ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ led to a tour through Japan, where ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Kabuki performed together with MC ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Glacius and tried the local scene. It ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ proved to be a very important phase, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ because not only did Kabuki discover a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ first class producer team with Pentagon, ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ he also got himself a job as sound ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ designer and composer Sony Playstation ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ in Tokyo. It was the beginning of a ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ journey that lasted a few years, with ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Kabuki travelling ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ between Germany and Japan on a regular ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ basis. ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ In the mean time, Kabuki is not only a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ big name in drum&bass: his star has ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ risen far beyond. Through co-productions ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ with Vikter Duplaix or Cleveland ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Watkiss, releases with labels likeSonar ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Kollektiv or Reinforced and last but ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ not least his remixes for various ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ artists like f. e. Sabrina Setlur orr ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Rockers Hi-Fi the musician Kabuki could ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ prove his wide range of interests. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ The name "Kabuki" by the way, is ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Japanese for a classical theatre genre. ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ The single syllables of the word also ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ have their own signification and ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ symbolise music, dance and technique, ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ all words that have something to ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ do with the job of a deejay. ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ The tracks on this album were all ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ released under the Kabuki-alias and are ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ especially edited for this album. We ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ have filtered 11 tracks out of 30 and ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ added the new Logicbomb and a tricky ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ hidden track to become a conclusive ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ album called Signal to noise. ▐███ ▐█████
