Swiss rap group Emeute Infernale decided to pay homage to one of the greatest manga/anime ever: Dragon Ball Z. The track is produced by Tchek and samples quite a famous joint from DBZ original soundtrack. I'm sure you'll recognize it ;).
This song is featured on Emeute Infernale's album "L'Ame 2 Fond". I drew an illustration for them (you can see it just above and $BUY$ its print too hehe) which is included in the CD booklet. Please check the video just below since they used my artwork there as well!
I know I know I'm terribly late! Tchek dropped his album "My Land" a couple of weeks ago but I never had time to listen to it. So the album's free (a free project isn't necessarily a bad project, remember that) and the zip file is full of little bonus such as pictures, comments, songs lyrics... Tchek ain't playing when it comes to spoil the listener! It reminded me of what him and his crew Emeute Infernale did with their USB-memory-stick-mixtape "À l'Ancienne" : you can spend like hours in browsing all the different files.
But what interests us is (of course) the musical aspect of the project. Tchek's well known for his penchant for Electronic music and the mix he created between Hip-Hop, Progressive, Salsa, and even Drum & Bass is definitely convincing. A track like "Extortion" (featuring Rootwords) reminds me of Motoi Sakuraba compositions, it's as surprising as good. And it's just an example among the 13 tracks of "My Land" (plus the bonus tracks).
In short, lots of good things, entertaining and creative music. Nowadays, everybody tryinna produce Trap joints like Lex Luger. It's good that Tchek sticks to his universe, does his things and doesn't care about the rest. Cuz good music doesn't need to be fashionable right?
The new teaser of Tchek's upcoming musical project "My Land" is there! Be sure to download it for FREE in April 2011!
By the way, that french voice-over in the teaser sounds familiar... Yep, Richard Darbois himself accepted to give a helping hand to Tchek ;). You can call it style!
Friend and producer Tchek (of Emeute Infernale) is preparing a very special project: an electro-hip-hop-house-drum and bass album (o.0) called "My Land"!... It will be available for free in April 2011 on his MySpace.
I had the occasion a few days ago to listen to some tracks and to see the teasers and the video clips. I'm not into electro music at all, but the mixture of genres reminds me of Adam F's album "Kaos - The Anti-Accoustic Warfare".
