Editor's review
Drum'n'bass duo Sebastian and Henrik Wild is Germany's answer to Concord Dawn, with maybe a little bit of TeeBee or John B in there, too (without all the makeup, of course). Drum'n'bass is, by nature, a hold-onto-the-speaker-for-your-life kind of genre, as is techno--an offshoot of electronic music for which Germans are known. So it's no suprise P&D master D&B's crazy tempos, fast drums, and off-kilter arrangements--but they also add a dash of lofty vocals to make it accessible (and attract the girls).
Biography
Cologne/Germany based Sebastian and Henrik Wild aka nphect & dizplay collaborate as a drum 'n' bass producer team since early 2002. Both coming from a band related background, they quickly found their own definition of sound, which is mainly based on raw & harsh Neurofunk, but also contains rave and/or pop related elements, often in form of uplifting vocals. To describe their style, n&d like to cite early Stakka & Skynet, Noisia+Phace with a hint of John B.
When in December 2002 n&d sent a promo cd to different labels containing seven tracks, this curred unexpectedly positive feedback within the German and international scene. Soon ?Rotor? was signed to Protogen Records, accompanied by high interest in the other tunes, which led to international contacts and remixes, like the Su3-ject Remix of Tsunami', which was released on Trickdisc.
In 2003 additional releases followed on Assimilate and the infamous Basswerk imprint, to which the two quickly established a fruitful relationship. The 12 'Velvet Morning'/'The Syndicate' was dropped by likes of Dieselboy and Aquasky as well as given a very positive review in Knowledge Magazine.
Soon thereafter n&d started serious DJing in numerous clubs and festivals, like the mighty Kingz Of The Jungle, the Rheinkultur and Nature One festivals and a couple of European venues. Several releases followed on U3R, Giana Brotherz, Shadybrain and UTTS and marked the base for constant votes from 2004 on as being among the top 10 German producers.
2006 will see great things to come, in form of 'Beautiful Bytes', their debut album on Basswerk, a North America tour in March and forthcoming 12 and EP material on Renegade Hardware, M-atome, Syndrome, U3R and Full Force. Some more hotties in the pipe.
