about

Bob Humid's double debut album-release "Twisted Repairs" draws a sharp line between the musical styles of labels such as Rephlex and Certificate 18. It features elements of Drum'n'Bass, Techstep, IDM and a tight vocal production. It also features very sophisticated beat-programming and a unique editing where every sound has a meaningful feel to it. Bob Humid has an obvious obsession for Funk within 4/4th metrics and a digital production philosophy that he claims to be influenced by Rupert Hine in his early 80ies phase. While Twisted Repairs has been originally distributed worldwide by Groove Attack it has been solely promoted in Germany where it has been highly acclaimed by the local music press.

"Twisted Repairs" is accompanied by its mechanically enraged ultra-futuristic twin-brother "Twisted Despairs" - a premonitional and essaystic apporach to forsee electronic music from the distant future of around 2040. To be rleased on Bandcamp extremely soon. You find TWSITED DESPAIRS over here: served.bandcamp.com/album/twisted-despairs

Some press-copy:

„hey man.! unit here. ... that record you wrote is a fuckin masterpiece. I really dig it. thanks!“
(UNIT, Cristian Pants, N.Y)

"Toughes Album! Irgendwie eine Zeitfalle. Man legt es ein und kommt erst 2 Stunden später wieder raus, ohne es zu merken..." / (NICHOLAS HOEPPNER, Groove Magazine)

„... Programmierung 1a! ...“
(ATOMHEART, Uwe Schmidt, Chile)

„I really like your cd alot . so do my friends , i played it on a radio show tonite in new york ..“
(DATACH´I, N.Y.)

„Zwei sehr wuchtige CDs von Kölns hintergründigstem Laboratorium für Breaks, Beats und Hightechdarkness ohne zögern und ohne Tunnelvision. Bob Humid aka Robert Feuchtel macht eine der wichtigsten Drum and Bass Platten des Landes, einfach mal so, obwohl er sicherlich lange genug drauf gewartet hat, denn hier sind die Breaks noch Beaster, die man zähmen muss, aber nie kann, die Sounds noch lebendig und unhinterfragbar woanders, schneller und verdrehter als man selber je sein könnte. Hier besteht Drum and Bass noch aus Experimenten, aus dem nächsten noch vertrackteren Beat, der sich nicht aus dem Groove bringen lässt, aus der Ausweitung von Funk bis ins unermessliche, aus der Offenheit für alle Sounds die andere nur predigen, aber längst in ihrem Genrefetischismus nicht mehr ahnen können, und hey, wenn Reinforced noch das wäre was es mal war, dann dürften wir wohl demnächst ein weiteres Album von Bob Humid auf Reinforced sehen, wenn nicht läuft irgendetwas schief, oder es geht dort weiter wo es um so wichtiger ist, auf Serve & Destroy. Essentielle Platte!“
(BLEED ***** / DE:BUG 4/2001)

„Irgendwo bin ich wohl mal falsch abgebogen und hab mich verfahren, aber es ist lustig hier...“
(ROBERT FEUCHTL)
