Meteo Sound

Exclusive Tracks Featuring: Tikiman, Thomas Fehlman, Bus, Dntel, Barbara Morgenstern, etc. "Braiding together what belongs together: between experimental reggae, dub-influenced laptop sounds, dubby remixes of Berlin fragility and exponents of the UK neo dub tradition, the Select Cuts label presents the Berlin based sound operators Meteosound and friends which have joined the winding ways of a wide variety of dub experimentalists on a compilation. Combining the best of both worlds with his Meteosound nights at celebrated Berlin venue Maria Am Ostbahnhof, mastermind Daniel Meteo did not just organise blinding dancehall and reggae events with international favourites like Adrian Sherwood's On-U Soundsystem and Blood & Fire Soundsystem as well as local activists. At the same time he kept a close eye on the genre's more eclectic frontiers, inviting artists such as Thomas Fehlmann, Alex Paterson (both heavily associated with The Orb), Kitty--Yo artist Rechenzentrum, Scape artist and label owner Pole (on whose latest album R he played guitar), Monolake or last but not least his project Bus where Meteo is one half beside Tom Thiel, the Sun Electric member -- check out the Bus remix for Plug Research recent artist shooting star Dntel. Furthermore Meteo nurtures a far-reaching network of all songwriters, laptop and electronica experts with an affinity to reggae and dub.. Meteosound now takes an in-depth look at the broad spectrum of their activities. Overall, the tracks gathered are listening music that is nevertheless capable of cooking up a storm on the dance floor, bursting with surprises in the down- and midtempo ranges while irreverently trying out everything short of cosy and huggy dub. The 12" EP accompanying the CD release again points towards the club, a sphere regularly frequented and furthered by Meteo. With the exception of Vienna Dub Club, G-Stone associated Sugar B artist, all tracks on Meteosound are exclusive.
