Philistine

Teamed up with producer Genoa Mungin of 'Saint-Maur Clervaux', 'P'taah', 'Ananda Project', Brooklyn-based producer extraordinaire DJ Raedawn 'Crunc Tesla, Tigerbeat6, Nonostyle', and Bronx-based producer / music editor Saheer Umar Mangelic, Tokion Magazine, 205 Club, Philistine has found a perfect sound for New York City and beyond. The super-future Detroitesque sounds of the production and the groupis flawless beat mechanics come with a soulful vocoded vocal delivery riding just beneath the rhythmic peaks tucked under chord stabs and melodic sine-based rifts, making this a remarkable song whether you're hyping up a club, or rollin' on 22's in an escalade in Berlin's Mitte (is it possible?). If so, Philistine certainly lay it down for the dancefoor, with a bone-crushing break beat to boot. With the Philistine album almost complete, expect to hear a lot more from these guys, with the highly anticipated 'New New York' remix featuring Funkstörung MC favorite Tes One.. out soon!
