Dadamnphreaknoizphunk - The Chearleaders Are Smilin At You (2009)

Welcome to the new and relaxing but also adventurous dope beat ambient trip hop
funk soul experience by the two great germans Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker.

As Hardfloor they worked out their own place in music history by releasing great
electronic music. In 1992 they released their "Hardtrance Acperience EP" on Sven
Vths cult status label Harthouse. This EP made them famous for their
innovative sound far beyond European boundaries, the song "Acperience 1", which
even made its way into the UK charts, is still one of the milestones of Techno
culture. Apart from working as producers Hardfloor are very requested remixers
for International pop acts like Depeche Mode, Mike Oldfield, New Order, Yello,
Human League, Mory Kante and Anne Clark, as well as more underground styleTechno
acts like Robert Armani, Secret Cinema, A Guy Called Gerald or the Rising High
Collective.

In 1995 Hardfloor presented the first DDPNP EP on Harthouse which was followed
by the second in 1997 and in 1999 the first album on !K7 followed. As DDPNP
Bondzio, who socialized with Hip Hop and Electro, and Zenker, who began his
musical education with e-bass and synthesizer, went to the more relaxed areas of
electronic music using dope beats, funky electro basslines, samples from nearly
every genre and the 303 structures they are famous for.

For the new album "The Cheerleaders Are Smilin At You" they engaged the
fabulous upcoming female Jazz and Soul singer Bella Wagner from Vienna who gave
her warm, soulful voice of high contrast to the 11th track of the album. The
other support on this record is the 24 old DJ, turntablist and producer DJ
Rafik. The six times DJ-World-Champion, part of the Lordz Of Fitness Crew and
the "Cosmic Delivery Project" gave his extraordinary scratches to the tunes
number 5 and number 13 of the album giving them a touch of weird funkyness. The
diversity of this album is also supported by the artists Jen, who is part of
different bands like Rabbit In Red, Boyracer or Possum Moods and the Iran born
and London based MC Blade, who supported Eminem and recorded one of the best
selling Hip Hop Albums in the UK with his partner and producer Mark B. Moreover
the hungarian female singer Virg is joining the collective. Her voice appears
in tracks that found their places on compilations released from labels like
Plastic City or Shayan Music. There are also own releases on the label
Karmatronic. In Hungary she worked in the underground scene and trained her
voice in genres like Jazz, Soul, Rock and Latin.

On this album the collective presents sounds and moods between Trip Hop,
Downbeat, Soul, Funk, Acid and Electro in a mixture that brings high comfort to
the listener but furthermore the possibility to explore great music with
wonderful quotations and a relaxed music experience.
