Biography of Schlachthofbronx |  | | Real name / | jakob and benedikt |
Munich is more then Oktoberfest and - musically speakin - "Giorgio Moroder" Disco music. Few people know
that the capital of Bavaria is not only a hot spot for beer but also for BASS music. Over the last few years the
Munich scene development was quite healthy, with the two guys from Schlachthofbronx getting the most
exposure, playing raves with the big names of the Global Bass scene, like Buraka Som Sistema, Major
Lazer, etc...
After an earlier blog buzz and due to the great media feedback on the launch of their selftitled full length
debut-album (on Disko B) they toured all over Europe and even represented their airhorn-heavy sound in
Southafrica in 2009. The album features guest singers from Costa Rica and Mali, joint work with brassbands
from Bavaria, rappers from Southafrica as well as a ghettotek-collabo with german MC Ron Foto.
Berlin based tropicalbasslabel Man Recordings released two EPs, including their smasher „Ayoba“ with
Southafrican superstar-MC Spoek Mathambo and new swedish riot grrrl Gnucci Banana on vocal duties in
2010. With their album and the EPs (as well as countless hi-profile remixes, see list below) under their belt
they played almost all important festivals across Europe - like Lowlands, Roskilde, Eurokennes, Frequency,
Dour or Melt. They left crowd after crowd with happy sweaty smiles after a powerpack of schlachthofbronx´
takes on Rave, Dancehall, Dubstep, Baile Funk, Bounce, Cumbia, soca and Traditional bavarian music –
always custommade and targeted on maximal dancefloor impact (See live video link below).
After a busy years end of 2010, including being asked to support grammy/oscar-nominated pop princess
M.I.A. on her Eurotour the guys from Schlachthofbronx are set to go even bigger in 2011, with strong new
releases (like their upcoming EP on Diplo's Mad Decent) fuelling their constant touring through all clubs that
are ready for some serious bass, sirens n airhorns -and which can spell their name correctly! |
