Der 26-jährige Münchner Musiker Umberto Echo ist seit mehr als zehn Jahren auf der deutschen Szene tätig. Er bewies sein Können innerhalb einer breiten Palette von Stilarten -- darunter Punk, Rock, Jazz, Pop, HipHop, Roots Reggae, Dub, Dancehall -- und produzierte über 50 Alben für u.a. Jamaram, Jahcoustix, Quadro Nuevo, Headcornerstone und Kamerakino. Bei den Quadro-Nuevo-Alben "Mocca Flor" (2003) und "Tango Bitter Sweet" (2006) war er außerdem im Studio für Aufnahme und Mischung verantwortlich.
Die Idee zu "Dubtrain" wurde im Jahr 2002 geboren: Da entstand der Plan zu einem Umberto-Echo-Projekt unter Mitwirkung befreundeter Musiker von Dubious Neighbourhood, Headcornerstone, Oneness, Jamaram, Magus & Fool, Feueralarm, Onedrop oder Main Concept. Obwohl Umberto Echo viele Instrumente selbst eingespielt hat, kamen noch diverse Sessions und Remixe hinzu, u.a. mit dem Jazz/Ska-Posaunisten Josh Roseman, Matt Darriau an der bulgarischen Hirtenflöte (Kaval), Piano-Star Abdullah Ibrahim, DJ Explizit (von Main Concept), dem Saxophonisten Peter Apfelbaum oder Mulo Francel und Andreas Hinterseher von Quadro Nuevo. Zu den absoluten Highlights zählen natürlich die Vokalfeatures der bekannten Reggae-Stars Luciano, Earl 16, Paul St. Hilaire und Wally Warning.
"Dubtrain" kann nicht nur große Namen aufweisen, sondern verrät vielmehr ein reifes, individuelles Konzept im Umgang mit aktueller DJ- und Remix-Ästhetik. Auf der Basis sanfter, wärmender Moods finden Elemente aus Reggae, Dub und Jazz, aber auch afrikanische Rhythmen und elektronische Beats zu einer überzeugenden Einheit. "Dubtrain" ist die fünfte Veröffentlichung auf ENJAs Sublabel 19.
26-year-old Munich-based Umberto Echo has been active on the German music scene for more than 10 years. He proved his skills in a wide field of styles including punk, rock, jazz, pop, hip-hop, roots reggae, dub and dancehall and produced over 50 albums by such as Jamaram, Jahcoustix, Quadro Nuevo, Headcornerstone and Kamerakino. He was also the recording and mixing engineer for Quadro Nuevo's albums "Mocca Flor" (2003) and "Tango Bitter Sweet" (2006).
The idea for "Dubtrain" dates back to the year 2002. Then it was decided to work on an Umberto Echo project with musician-friends of Dubious Neighbourhood, Headcornerstone, Oneness, Jamaram, Magus & Fool, Feueralarm, Onedrop and Main Concept. While Umberto Echo played many instruments himself, several recording sessions and remixes were added with such diverse artists as jazz/ska trombonist Josh Roseman, reed player Matt Darriau on the Bulgarian shepherd flute, jazz piano great Abdullah Ibrahim and Quadro Nuevo's Mulo Francel and Andreas Hinterseher. Among the definitive highlights of the album are vocal renditions by some famous reggae singers: Luciano, Earl 16, Paul St. Hilaire and Wally Warning.
"Dubtrain" not only presents some big names but reveals Umberto Echo's mature and individual way of melting diverse influences and handling recent DJ and remix aesthetics. Based on warm and mellow moods, the music includes elements coming out of reggae, dub, jazz, African rhythm and electronic beats. It is the fifth release on ENJA's sublabel 19 that is dedicated to DJ adventures on the crossroads of NuJazz and electronics.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
