Scape Presents Pole and Deadbeat Live @ Mutek 2006
In 1999 label founders Stefan Betke and Barbara Preisinger created ~scape: a fertile breeding ground for self-contained, self-confident music. With a healthy mix of spontaneous enthusiasm, precision and continuity ~scape endeavours to offer its artists more natural scope for exciting projects and creative excursions. From dub to jazzy electronica to hip-hop and techno - since its inception ~scape has remained on the move while staying true to its roots during the founders' eagle-eyed, loving search for those special talents.
˜scape hosted the final night of Mutek 2006, an unforgettable showcase presenting live concerts by Pole & Band (Zeitblom: bass, Hanno Leichtmann: drums), Deadbeat, Jan Jelinek and Mike Shannon feat. singer June and precussionist Tim Bones.
A legend in his own time, after many years of solo performances Pole started to work with a band for live concerts in 2005. His Mutek set is mainly presenting new and so far unreleased music.
Though perhaps best known for his previous excursions in deep blue digital dub, Deadbeat (Scott Monteith) has recently been treating audiences the world over to his own unique take on the bump and grind of Jamaican dancehall. Chalked full of new material, his Mutek set is an exciting sign of things to come.
