Noiseshaper

In 1999 the Viennese born duo Axel Hirn and Flo Fleischmann founded the Dub/Downbeat project Noiseshaper in Berlin and released their first album Prelaunch Sequence on the renowned Birmingham label Different Drummer in 2001. The Only Redeemer the first single to be taken from the album was later re-released by Quango (Palm Pictures) in the US. It contains Remixes from Needs: Cottonbelly and G-Corp and appears on DJ play lists around the world since. The title was also sublicensed to several compilations and recently to the US drama series CSI:Miami. Two years down the line sees the release of Noiseshapers second album The Signal: released on Different Drummer in Sept 2003. Unlike its predecessor which was mainly based on instrumentals: Axel and Flo worked with some of the UKs finest dub vocalists such as Farda P: Spikey Tee and MC Tweed amongst others. With the catchy All A Dem A Do performed by Juggla: Noiseshaper made it on rotation with several radio stations around Europe and the US. Undoubtedly this track was crucial for the success of the album and brought them Remix opportunities from great figures like Sly & Robbie and Outkast. In May 2005 Noiseshaper`s third studio album Rough Out There was released on Echo Beach. This time: instead of using guest singers: the twosome decided to work with Juggla as the main vocalist on most tracks: backed by the soulful voice of Jackie Deane. On the title track Rough Out There and the steppers tune Bushmaster you will hear Dennis Bovell on bass: a legend in dub and reggae music. He was recorded at Adrian Sherwoods London based On-U Sound studio where they also added some B3 organ tracks to blend in with Noiseshapers unique and lyrical dub vibe. The album will be supported by an uplifting live performance in which Axel and Flo swap between drums: keyboards: guitar: melodica and the mixing desk: whilst the charisma of Juggla on the mic: keeps the crowd bouncing.
