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).
