THE TAPE VS. RQM
you can get our stuff on i tunes, bleep, finetunes and most other download portals.....peep it!!!
An old mixtape was the initial source of inspiration for this musical project. Punk, Jazz, Hip Hop and Electronica have all been dubbed on to this tape, only to be recorded over again with an entirely different music genre.
This mixtape also represents the range of musical conditioning that Producer Robot Koch has undergone and his musical mission to bust the narrow confines of gerne music wide open.
The axis through which this styleclash is linked is Hip Hop. Not Hip Hop in the conventional sense though, more the boundaries on Hip Hop crossing over into Electronica, Post Rock and IDM.
Being also the producer of Berlin band Jahcoozi, Robot Koch has gained a lot of expericence when it comes to clashing genres. John Peel played their hit single »FISH« several times on his show. They played live shows alongside with Aphex Twin and Airborne Audio (Ex Anti Pop Consortium).
For his album »AUTO REVERSE« Robot Koch joined forces with emcee RQM to take Hip Hop to the next level.If any emcee could fluidly move between different musical genres and sound hott - it would have to be RQM. He blessed the same spots as Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Saul Williams - performing at the Brooklyn Moon Cafe and Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe. Almost two years ago he relocated to Berlin and started publishing songs with Al Haca (Klein / A Different Drummer), Stereotyp (G Stone) and and the Sofa Surfers.
