geb.el has long been influenced by futurism, jazz, and soul. these
influences are easily identifiable in his music, but this music is
also new and exists independently in its own right.
at the beginning of the eighties, geb.el started spinning soul,
jazz and hip-hop. from behind the decks he witnessed the birth of
both house and techno. in these early days, these new musical
directions were not always well received. geb.el however, viewed
house and techno as simply the logical evolution of so-called
"black music".
by way of his success as a dj, geb.el was able to begin making his
own music in 1991. his first release, escape, from the sampler
danube dance, went into the italian radio dance charts "los
cuarenta", although escape was never available as a single
in 1991, from a project called verschΣrft, geb.el released a
piece entitled blue moon. further house releases followed under
the name caypyrynha on the italian labels new music and mantra,
and again reached places in the charts.
at the same time, the helmut lang fashion empire began to show
interest in geb.el. entering the fashion world, geb.el produced
the music for several shows in paris, and received credits for his
work - even in the new york times.
in 1994, geb.el began playing drum n' bass, which led to
cooperation with the uptight label. working with uptight, geb.el
released further tracks and also did some remix work for the
project blackwing and the american jazz legend mark murphy.
the current geb.el album, from a distant point of view, is a plane
of sounds which brings the listener to collapse and relaxation.
the vocal tracks, love from the sun and i'm not in love, feature
the new york jazz vocalist dian sorrell and cleveland watkiss, who
is world revered for his voice and scat-jazz mc styles.
