**********************************************************************

The Mouse Outfit is a 9 piece live band and production team centred around Chini (keys), Pitch (percussion/MPC) and Defty (bass). Their acclaimed debut album won UK hip hop album of the year 2013 (Wordplay Magazine) and was ranked in ABC News’ top 50 albums of 2013. Since the release of ‘Escape Music’ (which is now available on double vinyl through HHV.DE), their profile has increased significantly, both within the UK and internationally. The album featured many of Manchester’s most talented MCs, but the live show is fronted by UK hip hop legend Dr Syntax and verbal acrobat Sparkz. A horn heavy and funk driven live show combines original material with medleys of classic hip hop and bboy breaks, which has lead the band to be a firm favourite at festivals and clubs throughout the UK. Earlier in their career they built a loyal fan base supporting many of the world’s finest hip hop acts including Chali 2na, Souls Of Mischief, Akil the MC and The Sugarhill Gang. Their reputation as a high quality live act resulted in two invitations to perform at the BBC’s legendary Maida Vale Studios in London. 2014 saw the band take their brand of funk, jazz and reggae influenced hip hop to France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic and Croatia, with key slots at prestigious festivals such as Soundwave, Outlook and Fusion.

The Mouse Outfit are due to release their second album in early 2015 and follow this with a series of European shows and an extensive UK tour. Expect further collaborations with some of the most talented vocalists the UK has to offer and a brand new live show.

2 Zimmer Gefüge

“Da gehn sie hin, einige von Gottes eigenen Prototypen – aufgemotzte Mutanten, die nie zur Massenproduktion in Betracht gezogen wurden: zu spleenig zum Leben und zu selten zum Sterben.”

Vor Anbeginn der Zeit war der Onkel. Nachdem die Zeit begonnen hatte kam die Langeweile und der Onkel beschloss seine Energien zu konzentrieren um das Gefüge zu zeugen…

Jeune Linkebeekois âgé de 21 ans, Romeo Elvis débute le rap en 2011. Ce n’est qu’en 2013 qu’il rencontre L’Or du Commun. Dès lors, il commence à partager leurs scènes et à monter des projets avec eux. Leurs associations se multiplient, apportant plus de consistance à son travail.

Il a sorti un EP (Bruxelles c’est devenu la jungle) au studio Cezarienne Rekordz en collaboration avec les membres de C’est un album thématique traitant du monde animal et de la ville. Roméo tente de garder un certain humour dans ses textes, alliant absurdité et surréalisme, il perpétue cette tradition de l’auto-dérision à la belge.
