MIDEM 2007 20/01/2007
Great to see everyone at MIDEM. It was pretty manic and still getting through the post midem chaos. In the meantime to those that I met on behalf of One Media Publishing... it was a pleasure - great deal closed on the Gerry Anderson DICK SPANNER animation, digital, mobile, traditional licensing.... And although more time was needed for KUBE RECORDINGS incredibly talented artists, feedback is looking positive so please keep the radio play and reviews flowing! All the best Suzie W

RECYCLER’s forthcoming releases, Massa Boom Boom, and Dancing Feet, also receive encouraging words: “Great !!! I will be playing plenty on my radio show .... Super happy to hear the return of RECYCLER on Kube Recordings.” [Pathaan – BBC Asian Network, Label Manager - Globetronica, Liquid Sound & Dragonfly - www.pathaan.com]

Imagine the sound of the Chemical Brothers playing football in the park with African Headcharge. Or The Drummers Of Burundi taking a wrong turn on the way to the WOMAD festival and ending up playing a free rave in a car park in Bracknell. Welcome to Recycler, a world where two young Frenchmen take sounds from untold diverse sources, squish it all together and call it "music."

In a previous incarnation, Fab and Tcherno (the creative minds behind Recycler) were part of French industrial/rock/dance group MAT, achieving minor success in Europe and support slots with Consolidated and Fugazi. Influenced by the work of Meat Beat Manifesto, MAT had always been about merging different musical elements together to make something new. Forming Recycler, the duo chose to take the possibilities of this fusion further and create dance music unlike anything else.

Big thumping tribal drums, dirty electronic beats, soulful vocals, the intimacy of a sweaty club, the excitement of a rave – this describes in part what they capture so well in their recordings and when playing live.

Recycler have toured extensively at clubs and festivals throughout Europe, playing alongside Gary Clail, Fun-Da-Mental, Future Loop Foundation, Transglobal Underground and Genetic Drugs amongst others. The experience of their live show brings out the primitive qualities of any audience through the sheer infectious beats that drive the most unlikely dancers to immerse themselves in a dancing frenzy

"They blew the roof off. We loved them the first time around which is why we invited them back" (Russ Alsop, director of Plug n Play Studios, Reading. Oct 06)

In the studio, Tcherno & Fab remain the creative minds behind Recycler. Onstage, the duo are joined by bass player Eric Mombo, born in the west African country of Gabon but now resident in Paris, and guest percussionists that have included members of The Dhol Foundation, Bloco Electro/Beatroots Bateria, and African percussionists

In 2006, the band has been preparing their third album Massa Boom Boom as well as the incredible DANCING FEET EP. Never have they sounded so good!

Fans include Dreadzone, which in fact led to Earl 16 lending his exceptional vocals to the track True Lovin' (Original mix, Club mix (citizen key remix) and psychedelic mix can be heard on the Dancing Feet EP).
