Bow Wow - Face Off - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Miami's up and coming cutting edge hip-hop artist Bass Nacho proves that he's the one to watch with this debut 5 track EP. An extremely talented producer as well as an artist, Bass Nacho's originality shines through here. Fans of forward thinking hip-hop need to listen to this.

The son of a Rastafarian man musician, Bass Nacho grew up in Jamaica and Miami and absorbed the music of both cultures before stepping out on his own with a totally new, unique vibe. One of the hottest young hip-hop producers and artists working today, Nacho is a multi instrumentalist who is proficient on guitar, keyboards and drums. His music blends elements of jungle, drum & bass, hip-hop, reggae, house into one cohesive whole. Nacho's new full length InchBow Chicah Wow WowInch features so many high quality jams that it's easy to understand why he is rated in the press as one of the top new producer/artists to emerge from the Miami scene in quite some time.

2ND FACE mastermind Vincent Uhlig has far surpassed the huge expectations stoked by the acclaimed debut album InchNemesisInch with his sophomore full-length InchutOpiumInch. The certified German sound magician has created a multi-layered masterpiece that does not just feed pure ear-candy to audiophiles as any headphone-test will confirm, but also thrills with excellent songwriting and lyrical depth. The sound of InchutOpiumInch is highly transparent and detailed yet at the same time aggressive and powerful, which perfectly fits the industrial genre, in which 2ND FACE operate and push the limits. Uhlig has invested five years of blood, sweat, and tears into this monster of an album. His work displays an obvious respect for industrial scene. The darkness of the Belgian school has left an audible mark in the sound of 2ND FACE yet also notes of SKINNY PUPPY, and even a knife tip of avant-garde pioneers TOOL. While referencing the industrial tradition, Uhlig also steers his own course, which for example manifests in his use of an EMS Synthi AKS and PPG-300 modular system inherited from his father - the krautrock pioneer Wolf-Rüdiger Uhlig (MURPHY BLEND, HANUMAN). Lyrically, InchutOpiumInch takes a deep dive through the human mind and embarks on a philosophical journey to self-awareness. 2ND FACE also hold a a subtle mirror to society, which is fragmenting while collectively opting for (social) media self-hypnosis in the face of climate change and war. 2ND FACE were conceived by Vincent Uhlig in the German city of Mainz, capital of the Rhineland-Palatinate, in 2014. The 2017 debut full-length InchNemesisInch was widely regarded as a Inchnewcomer of the yearInch and did not only receive much praise from critics but also sold particularly well. With the EP InchNihilumInch, 2ND FACE confirmed their exceptional talent and status as fast-rising new stars on the industrial sky. W
