Puppetmastaz
Muppet hip-hop
Allemagne
The Puppetmastaz are a Rapgroup consisting of puppets. They call themselves a „Toyband“, the first in the world actually. Imagine a mixture of the Muppet Show and the Wu-Tang Clan. After some appearances on TV Stations, they got a record Deal with Labels/EMI in 2002 and released their first Album, „Creature Funk“ in 2003. The Single „Pet Sound“ reached underground fame and their 2005 Single Release „Bigger the Better“ had even better Airplay. The second Album “Creature Shock Radio”, released in 2005 on Louisville Records led the Puppetmastaz to the next Level of their carreer and became a great success. With that, they tried to build a new world order for all puppets and animals with their third album "The Takeover“ in 2008. Eventually the humans treated this Fraggolution just as another publicity stunt. The figures of the PM-crew were devastated, that the Puppetrevolution was a failure and the Humans are still in the main power positions, nothing has changed. Heavy arguing inside the crew followed. But who was to blame? Maloke, Rhyno and Snuggles got into a fist fight. It was time for the fourth ”Break Up” Album in 2009. They searched the cosmos for new signs, which way to go, what values to transmit? After three years of traveling space they passed countless adventures and met strange species. Then came the next album 2012 „Revolve and step up!“ They realized that the big is inside the small and the small is inside the big, the weak inside the strong and vice versa. Still music seemed to be the key, so they needed the puppet crew back together. They made plans for another world tour and a new album. Now, 2016, the Puppetmastaz turn up with a more solid earthbound album "Keep yo animal" in the soul of hiphop. Amongst others there are also features with Modeselektor and Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars to combine different worlds.

FlexFab
Bass music
CH

Armed with a cutting-edge combination of twisted rhythms, odd-tronica, and devastating bass music, FlexFab has emerged out of a menacing mist and catapulted himself into the spotlight as a new force to reckon with. Little had been heard about FlexFab until this year when he took the scene by storm. His brand of electronic music descended upon the music world like a cataclysmic force, sweeping away the audiences of his live shows and overwhelming the discovering listeners. Educated by past music yet sounding firmly futuristic, FlexFab's productions fuse subtle elements with intense sound, creating a brand of bass music that is as engaging as it is shattering. It could be described as at the crossroad between electronic, beats and trap, or it could simply be accepted as nothing that belongs to a vague intersection, but instead is a solid new direction. His live show has undoubtedly contributed to the meteoric ascension of the young producer, with a light show as furious as the beats he drops, it leaves no one standing still. With limitless talent and eagerness, FlexFab is bound to revitalize the scene and place himself as the new deft player to watch.
