OUTPUT EP out now: THE PLANTY HERBS are still growing
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
When dj dons and international tastemakers from all sorts of musical fields give mad props & full support for sounds crafted by two young men in their early 20s, those young men must have come up with something extra deep & truly genre bending as well.
And indeed, they did it again: Robbert van der Bildt & Bobby van Putten aka THE PLANTY HERBS follow up on last years "Music is the word/Disco 2080" with the amazing OUTPUT EP... five tracks of sheer goodness. Fueled by severe instinct, playful creativity and impeccable musicianship - and with a little help from good friends such as Tom Veugen (pedal steel guitar) & Marlon Penn (add. vocals) on "Amoroso" as well as Nienke Lohuis (vocals) and Robin Rombouts (trumpet) on the drum'n'bass infused title track "Output" - THE PLANTY HERBS deliver like only THE PLANTY HERBS can.
So whats the word then: Cosmic Disco? Downtempo? Deep House? TechDub? Post-Nu Jazz? Blah. Since that certain amount of nosey itch rules at their homebase "The Garden Studio" in Tilburg/The Netherlands, catching up with THE PLANTY HERBS also means "catch them if you can". "We don't usually stick to certain things. Music evolves and so does our musical taste."
Both their infamous "beat tape series" as well as their latest mixtapes "Sunday's RPM" and "The Settlers of The Planty Herbs" are further proof of that certain versatility thats more like an additional skill. For the sake of the bigger picture, you might also want to check THE PLANTY HERBS doing their thang on our weekly WAX DA BOX radio show the other month.
THE PLANTY HERBS "Output EP" is now available for download from all major digital online stores - why not preview & purchase from the source.
"Whatever herbs this duo is on - please give them more!" (Velanche Stewart, URBAN LANDSCAPES radio show)

kiwi cuts come correct: NZ THRE3STYLE champ SCRATCH 22 on a global mission!
Friday, December 03, 2010
emerging from the vibrant and ever evolving NZ music scene, a young man who goes by the name of rood kirk is now setting sails to cause ripples on a global scale… from behind the decks as well as from the control rooms of recording studios.
as new zealands newly crowned "THRE3STYLE" dj champion, rodi aka SCRATCH 22 will be representing as one of the international finalists of the infamous RED BULL THRE3STYLEcompetition, going down at Élysée Montmartre in PARIS (F) on the 9th of december.
Red Bull Thre3style is an international dj battle event series of a special kind, where new zealand’s finalist will compete against the winners from twelve other countries: argentina, belgium, brazil, canada, columbia, france, japan, spain, sweden, switzerland, USA and the united kingdom.
with his own radio show 'the lion for real' (broadcasting fridays from 12-2 PM on NZ station BASE FM), and his monthly club night THE ARC as well as a tight production schedule for various bands & projects from many diverse genres, SCRATCH 22 might be young yet he is anything else but a newcomer to the game - maybe that is also why not too long ago, WAX ON records picked his sensationally dope b boy tune"ani kuni" for vol. 3 of the "NIGHTMARES ON WAX presents WAX ON records" compilation.
whatever may come & whatever will happen in paris on the 9th, there is no doubt that SCRATCH 22 is here to stay… not only, but also since his debut longplayer is in the making while you are reading this.
anyway, we keep our fingers crossed for you next week, rodi - make em move inna championsound stylee!
