Over an edgy, stepping rhythm, Claudette Brown of the Love Joys is pitched between reserve and recrimination, desolation and resilience. A key Rhythm & Sound release; a killer record.

2013 repress, now available as a 12" format; originally released as a 10" in 1996. This first (in a series of 13), was originally released in 1996. Burial Mix is the crucial Berlin mystery label coming out of the Basic Channel axis. The production team of Rhythm & Sound is Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald (Maurizio). The style is deep dub with trademark lo-fi clips, hiss and gloriously repetitive grime. Vocals from Paul St. Hilaire, with an instrumental version on the flip.

2013 repress, now available as a 12" format; originally released as a 10" in 1996. "Second installment of arguably the oddest project involving Basic Channel. By taking techno deep into the mine shafts of dub, they've created an eerie, full-circle variant of the latter. A cauterized, dreadnaught bassline and steady hi-hats propel Tikiman's fragmented vocals on 'Spend Some Time.' What's odd about this number is how you're drawn into the music and effects, but unlike a lot of dub plates, there aren't any friendly reminders of melody." --Reverb

2003 release. Previously licensed to the Asphodel label for North America, now only available on the original Burial Mix imprint. Since the early '90s, with projects on labels like Basic Channel, Maurizio (M Series) or Main Street Records, Berlin-based producer team Rhythm & Sound (Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald) have originated a style between electronic club music and dub/reggae long before it became a genre of its own and have since inspired and influenced several generations of producers. Their album Rhythm & Sound w/ The Artists on the Burial Mix label showcases the series of heavily reggae-oriented tunes that were created -- starting with the landmark "King In My Empire" with Cornel Campbell. This release features eight tunes, voiced in Berlin, New York and Jamaica by seven artists, some of them living legends; Cornel Campbell, Paul St. Hilaire, Shalom, The Chosen Brothers, Love Joy, Jennifer Lara and Jah Batta. Released simultaneously, The Versions (BMD 003CD) contains the corresponding instrumental versions with dubs that integrate minimal structures with Rhythm & Sound's breathtaking atmospheric density.

Through projects and labels like Basic Channel, Maurizio or Main Street Records, the Berlin-based producer team of Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald have exerted a decisive influence on the worldwide development of techno-house and electronic music during the '90s. Under the name Rhythm & Sound, Ernestus and von Oswald pioneered their own hybrid of reggae, dub and electronics. In recent years, they have come up with their own and totally unique definition of reggae. See Mi Yah (released in March 2005) is a classic "one-riddim-album" comprised of ten vocal versions plus the original instrumental track of the "See Mi Yah"-riddim by Rhythm & Sound. On See Mi Yah one can hear the voices of Paul St.Hilaire, Ras Perez, Koki, Ras Donovan, Freddy Mellow, Walda Gabriel, Sugar Minott, Willi Williams, Bobbo Shanti, Lance Clarke as Rod Of Iron and Joseph Cotton aka Jah Walton as Jah Cotton. The remix-version of the album (initially released as a series of 12" singles throughout the spring of 2006) transplants the "strictly roots" approach of the originals into the club. The result is a diversified collection of excellent club tracks. And while each of these retains its autonomy and its individuality, the whole album sounds as if carved from one piece. From dry digi-dub, UK steppers, minimal electronic and disco house to deep atmospheric tracks, all kinds of current club sounds are represented here. This project brings together several generations of DJs and producers: from collaborators of long standing such as DJ legend Carl Craig to promising newcomers, a great array of artists helped to create this album. Remixers include: Soundstream, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Tiki, Sweet Substance, François K., Vladislav Delay, Vainqueur, Sleeparchive and Hallucinator.

2006 release, repressed. SMY remixes #4. What can be said here? Again we see Craig, a Goliath of modern techno, going mano y mano with that other colossus, Basic Channel. The Burial Mix series matches the new icons of reggae soul with dub techno in an implosive synthesis. So, while the beat pounds and pounds again (louder, bigger, badder) the track forces itself through your heart with Bobbo Shanti's emotive, gut-wrenching lyrics. The flipside is a wholly devastating cool-down remix from Basic Channel themselves. The last time there was a match-up like this it became the landmark Craig slab "The Climax." DJs: for your safety, wear goggles -- cause this is a combustible club classic.

For their latest Rhythm & Sound album Ernestus and von Oswald collaborated with legendary reggae vocalists, like Cornel Campbell, Jennifer Lara, Love Joy or The Chosen Brothers (aka Lloyd 'Bullwackie' Barnes). This line is being pursued consequently with their new CD/LP release See Mi Yah. See Mi Yah is a classic one rhythm album, typical format and production approach reggae, featuring ten vocal versions and one instrumental of the See Mi Yah rhythm, that will have been pre-released as a series of seven 7-inch singles (additionally three alternative instrumental versions) strictly roots! After Paul St. Hilaire (formerly known as Tikiman) had lent his voice to quite a few Rhythm & Sound releases over the past years, the starting point for this project was to try and work also with his brother Ras Perez, their fellow Berlin-based Dominicans Koki and Ras Donovan (also known from his collaboration with Mapstation), the Berlin-based Jamaicans Freddy Mellow, Walda Gabriel, Bobbo Shanti, Lance Clarke as Rod Of Iron and Joseph Cotton aka Jah Walton as Jah Cotton as singers b/w DJs. With a toasting style heavily influenced by the legendary U-Roy, Cotton was a central figure in the Jamaican DJ scene of the '70s and '80s. Alongside Ranking Joe and U-Brown he performed with the Blood & Fire Sound System a few years ago. On visit in Berlin, the great Sugar Minott and Willi Williams (famous for Studio 1 classic Armagideon Time) did their versions in the Rhythm & Studio studio. For each tune the rhythm is arranged and mixed differently. On the album the tracks are lined up in a way that allows the listener to enjoy See Mi Yah as one continuous program running for about 46 minutes. It's never a bore and goes on in the listener's head, when voices, rhythm and sound will be long gone."

1999 release, available again. Thee new crucial release in the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction/Maurizio string of CD compilations. Comes packed in a nicely printed cardboard pseudo-digipak (made from hemp) with photos of the R&S toaster, Paul St. Hilaire (formerly: Tikiman). Ultra-deep filtered tech-dub, with seriously pinging studio effects to bring you down forever -- completely essential. "Until 18 months ago, Berlin's Basic Channel crew were the omnipotent masters of techno minimalism, no question. They forged fertile links between Detroit and Berlin undergrounds by co-opting the likes of Jeff Mills and Carl Craig , made oceanic house music that could have been transmitted direct from the bottom of the sea and inspired everyone from Photek to Dave Clark. Than, after building a cult following practically unrivaled in techno history, label bosses Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus, aka flagship act Maurizio, closed down Basic Channel. And, rejecting the stringent restrictions of four-to-the-floor dancefloor fodder, as Rhythm & Sound they redirected their sound through the dub lines of Jamaica. An exceedingly sussed move. This CD features the initial 5 10"'s on Burial Mix, for the first time on CD. Featured are all in all 5 bottomless walls of heavy bass reverberation laced with Tikiman's floating vocals -- recalling reggae veteran and Massive Attack cohort Horace Andy and a version of each track."
