with an eclectic mix of dope beats, funk, dub, d&b and house
markus dohelsky, christoph ziereis and istvan zachar constitute
the musical contours of the "shanti roots". in 1992 the trio
started to produce, in 1997 they released their first lp
("subcodex") and in 2002 they represent us the culmination of
their previous work with their compact "floor rocker" manifesto
"afrique". congenial support is provided by gerald "scheibosan"
scheiber who adds an extra prortion "funk" into the mix.
a1 afrique
with consistent rhodes swirls, electric breakbeats and hypnotic
chant lines, "afrique" merges 80ies "arcade effects" and tribal
motives into a raw n'tasty nu-funk gem. straight for the floor.
b1 believe
with it's roots slightly in the house camp this tight
"batucadaish" rocker flirts with ambient harmonies and freneteic
d&b basslines, resulting in a fine piece of "supreme electronic
samba".
b2 peace
the "afrique" trinity closes with "peace" a deep, smokey dub,
mingled with crisp 2step breaks and the decent vocals of upcoming
austrian mc n.ton.
