Just in time for the 25th anniversary of "Planet Rock" here comes a radical new
take on Bambaataa's genre-defining electro-anthem. The Breakout crew from
Hanover have turned it into a heavy (sample free) afro-funk jam. Beatheads go
straight to Part 2 for the deadly break! If "Organ Donor" by the Lefties was
your song you better check out this too! When Hawkeye told me that the Breakout
guys were working on a cover version of "Planet Rock" I was like "Whaat?" And
when he told me that is gonna be an all live sample-free version I looked even
more puzzled. What Kova, Info and Mr.Confuse actually did was invite a whole
group of musician friends to their studio in Hannover and let them play the
several parts of "Planet Rock" in funk mode. Then they went back into the lab
and chopped and arranged the parts into a monster afro-funk tune. So what we
hear now is not only a tribute to one of the greatest early hip-hop-singles ever
but a great record in its own right. When I played the rough mixes to several
people "in the know", without telling them what to expect, it took most of them
one or two minutes until they said "Damn! Planet Rock! Who is this??"
