Format:B - Steam Circuit
Berlin-based Franziskus Sell and Jakob Hildenbrand aka Format:B will release their first album titled “Steam Circuit” on Highgrade Records on September 8, 2008.
“Steam circuit” comes with a lot of pressure and fun, but is by all means everything else than just a load of hot air. Franziskus Sell and Jakob Hildenbrand did allways stand out with their highly energetic tracks, strongly orientated on the club without loosing musical integrity, funkyness and the joy of playing around.
Their releases „Like a techmachine“ or the extrem successfull EP „Bronson Road 69“ used to be little milestones in floorfriendly minimal Techno and Highgrade‘s label history. From the dark bouncing „Edding 850“ to trips into more acid-like areas with „Boot cut“ or the easy rollin‘ stuff „Like a techmachine“ towards a point when vocals come into play, Format:B go one step further. As with „Si pero no“ which has the clear potential to hit the scene like „hay consuelo“ did. In cooperation with Jake the Rapper in „Something suitable“ - where they combine their trademark sub-basslines with hypnotic sounds anddeliver in combination with Jake‘s vocals, the perfect instant-clubbanger.
All in all, it‘s a wild ride on the zeitgeist of clubsound, powerfull tracks which seem to never loose their breath. An extensive Autumn clubtour will drop the whole Tour do Funk Life, Catch them if you can!
