when grant phabao finally sees the light of day in the paris
suburb, it's usually because his curtains are badly shut. this mad
alchemist of sound started his carrier right here, on the floor of
his bedroom, stuck between a cassette player and an echo chamber.
recording for years everything that crosses his path: his musician
friends, his telly, his neighbours banging on the radiator pipes
pleading him to stop... everything! optionally in the late 80's,
phabao sometimes grabs his bass guitar and creates noise in
pop-rock and reggae bands. but sound really motivates him. so in
1998 "tub" is launched into the ears of an incredulous world, soon
to become 1998 phenomenon by creating pure hysteria on
dance-floors. from paris to ibiza, from new-york to amsterdam,
dj's start mixing playfully with the track -armand van helden,
roger sanchez, erik morillo, dj nitro, constipated monkeys, bad
boy bill, dj dan- while the guidance compilation "hi-fidelity dub
sessions vol.1" goes for phabao's dub side and chooses "andub head
yudⁿ" as one of the tracks for the album. again stirring his
musical influences together, grant phabao is back with a new ep
and a new dance-floor favourite "cannonbutt". also appearing on
the pro-zak trax first compilation, it's a new energized house
track that will surely follow tub's fate. the b-side reveals two
other faces of phabao. the jazzy dub-like house of "porkshopper"
and the groovy rock "charlestonslip" which features the long-time
friend henchy, from the french t.i.m.e.c. label and a world where
pop, rock, kazoos and noise blend. an awkward collaboration. so
praise it, it's the new grant phabao's offering! you have been
warned...
