Out of his love for Hip-Hop, the wish arose to produce some d**e beats himself. Not only listening to them.He cites his"first love" to be Rap music. EPMD, Nas, The Fugees and the likes.After some excursions in producing with a computer-based program, he bought himself an Akai MPC-2000 for his 18th birthday.Now delving deeper and deeper into various kinds of styles of music, his beats started to change as well.He got away a bit from producing straight Hip Hop beats." I got into DJ Shadow very heavily" he states. Strobe-L now experimented with all the new samples he sought for and found in dark basements and fuggy back rooms.Playing around so much and perfecting his craft, he shifted his productions a bit towards 90's Trip-Hop and Electronica.Nowadays, it can not be denied that Strobe-L found a quite unqiue sound for himself.This sound is represented on his debut release"Without You".It was entirely produced on the MPC-2000. Mixed in the prestigious Zurich/Switzerland based studio"Sling And Stone", owned and operated by none other than Lee Everton.It features 3 vocalists. Junior Indian from Switzerland's No.1 Soundsystem Ali Baba Sound. Daniela Weinmann aka Kid Abram, who opened Shows for Sophie Hunger. And newcomer Fleesz, who came up with the lyrical concept of the album.This debut suits so many different tastes in music. You want some dreamy background music? Reggae inna 90's britain style? Dark songs about broken relationships? Groovy, dancy instrumentals? And even a song sung from the perspective of the afterlife?You got it all right here, on Strobe-L's debut Without You.
