Review by DJ Hektik (Tilt-Recordings / T-FREE /
DMF / Trio-Music, Mannheim):
"Pravda" puts
together the best of Kaiza and Shots; it is a 110% Techno
Drum & Bass stepper. The drums, the percussions, stabs and the bassline
form a bouncy and counter-dynamic yet intelligent halfbar loop
construction which is constantly changed and broken up with things like
driving additional ghost bassdrums, many edits and some of these twisted
Shots trademark synths. The result is heavy pressure, the famous
mashhand and a dirty smile.
"Betaload" is
psychedelic dance music made by crazy robots for crazy
robots. A bouncy bassline drives a hacked and driving beat through a
strange wonderworld rich of machine-like stabs, fx and different
soundrooms. It is very varied and more the opposite of minimal, and yet
it is hypnotic in a schitzoid way... A rather unusual and experimental,
nonetheless dancefloor-suited tune from Kaiza and Shots.
MTFZ004D ARTISTS:
KAIZA
Bad Boy Kaiza, founder of Trio-Music and
co-labelowner of "Tilt-Recordings" and "T-FREE" and
labelowner of "T3K", is known for the most consistent DJ-sets in the
local german Drum & Bass scene. He is able to play all Drum & Bass
subgenres, but his main focus is on technoid styles. Besides setting dancefloors
on fire with his DJ-sets, he is hosting the weekly Drum & Bass radio show
"DMF" in the Mannheim / Heidelberg area in Germany since 2001. Also,
he used to organize events and played Reggae/Dancehall, Dubstep, House, Breaks
and HipHop under the names "Burnin Trees", "kwazzzar" and
"Professor Tree". On top of these activities he produces radical,
uncompromised Techno-DNB tunes.
More details:
Bad Boy Kaiza started mixing Drum & Bass / Jungle in 1996. After gaining
local status as a DJ and organizing parties in the local scene (1997) he
founded the Trio-Music crew in 1998. More bookings and growing reputation
followed (1998/1999). Whilst interacting with the music and scene, his
knowledge also grew and he started to re-define basic principles of DJ-sets /
mixing. He developed his unique approaches of consistency, constancy and upward
build-up of sets, which in their practical outcome and in combination with the
use of energetic and moving beats cause pure dancefloor-annihilation. Bad Boy
Kaiza's astonishing repertoire covers all different Drum & Bass subgenres.
Athmospheric, liquid, Jump Up, Drumfunk, technoid styles, dark, hardcore,
amen/reece rinseout stuff etc - the complete spectre. But if nothing else is
specifically demanded, his main focus is on Techno-DNB / Neurofunk. Besides deejaying
Drum & Bass, Bad Boy Kaiza kept himself busy with
selecting and holding a monthly club DJ-residency in Mannheim for the ragga
soundsystem "burning trees movement", was doing Hip
Hop mixes and maintaining the only weekly Drum & Bass radio show in the
Mannheim / Heidelberg area since 2001. He co-founded and co-owns the labels
"Tilt-Recordings" and "T-FREE", is the label head of
"T3K" and organized small club-events in the Mannheim / Heidelberg
area in Germany. Also, he produces tunes and has put out several vinyl singles
and digital releases.

SHOTS
Shots is a producer from Germany, making
Techno-DnB for about 7 years. He released a lot of Tunes with his partners and
friends Isotop and Kaiza, as well as some Solo Tunes within the support of
Tilt, T-File, T-Free and the famous T3K Recordings on Vinyl and as MP3.
Comment by Shots: "The whole change of the
Drum and Bass Scene in the last years is a negative one. TDnB is dominated by a
few people and nepotism. No chance for the music to develope.This style has
been killed by few. Anyhow, I'm focusing now on music styles on which I can set
my mind free, feel good and having fun in producing it. Look on my Myspace to
hear my newest tunes. Thank you all!"

The
purpose of METAFIZIQ
recordings is to provide fresh air to the music made by young talents who are in the shadow, deserves
to be turned into vinyl relief. We trust in the vinyl because if one day the electricity in all over the world
stops, we can continue to listen vinyls on the old horn gramophones.
METAFIZIQ
recordings has a strong concept, expressed through
metaphysical philosophy
- one of the reason that we are making
our release artworks unique – namely
our artwork cover is created in a dark laboratory with real chemicals, using the method of photograms. (The photogram represents a unique art form
requiring only the action of light on a photosensitive substrate without using
a camera. The imagery is created using traditional silver-gelatin black and
white materials. This method of imaging is perhaps most prominently attributed
to Man Ray and his exploration of rayographs. Others
who have experimented with the technique include Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Christian Schad, Imogen Cunningham and even
Pablo Picasso. Actually some of the first known photographic images made were photograms.)
