http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/tgm_truth.mp3
B. The Green Man (tgm) - XXX
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/tgm_xxx.mp3
"The Green Man (tgm) is Heiner Kruse, founder of Basswerk records, and appearing as tgm on combination records (www.combination-rec.de) with his debut album “You Decide” – listen yourself. tgm puts optimistic and melancholic moods into hard, dubby, musical and surprising tunes and sets, combining his skillz as a dj, engineer and piano player. together with cheetah, he runs the Basswerk Session club nights and started the junglegrowers parties."
Both of these tracks were also played on a recent Therapeutics broadcast-

A. Misanthrop - EIS rmx
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/misanthrop-eis.mp3
B. Konrad & Coda - Don't Let Me...
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/konrad_coda-dont_let_me.mp3
"Michael Bräuninger (Misanthrop) from Stuttgart comes up with an ultra-dark vibe, but also dark humour in his German speech samples saying: “we are all in hell (hölle)” or “we are all idiots” on another unreleased track. while “Hölle” totally hits the point in rave sound to us, “EIS” is even harder, but still shows his style of playing with quite minimal theme lines within very well sorted out arrangements."
"We really didn’t meet yet, but some how “Don’t Let Me..” made its way to us. This vocal tune comes with an easy vibe and singer Margie brings in a very slight dub touch besides being natural, different from many current vocal tracks with a lot of pretentiousness. Konrad and Coda rock the floors in Vienna, being linked with the Trife Life Crew, whose aziz brought the track to Carl Nuttal, Kolt Siewerts and finally to us. Coda is a 21 years old dj from England, while Konrad already had some releases on gyration."

A. Taxidriver - Toytonic
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/taxidriver-toytonic.mp3
B1. Jonathan & Bassface Sascha - Keep Going On
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/jonathan_bassfacesascha-keepgoinon.mp3
B2. Taxidriver - Dub Yo
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/taxidriver-dubyo.mp3
"Taxidriver are Laszlo Milasovszky a.k.a. Cheetah and Michael Rieck. As Cheetah, he is doing the Basswerk parties from day one and now also runs the label. M. Laszlo was responsible for the cover-paintings of Basswerk #'s 1-10 and has recently joined with the trained saxophonist and musician Michael Rieck for the Taxidriver project. With over 20 years of dj experience, Cheetah's musical background is extremely wide. His stories of ancient involvements in bands like “Peniskrem” or "Blöd Tapir", especially playing drums, are legendary. One recognizable element in his dj and producer works is a quite dubby style of drum & bass. “Toytonic” is Taxidriver's first track, followed by “Give It Up”, “Dub Yo” and “Baba Bass” - and there is a lot of fresh and innovative stuff in the work as they move from total weirdos to peaceful chillers."
"Knowing each other for years, Jonathan became our new resident at the Basswerk nights when moving to Cologne in 2003, and is more and more teaming up with us. He has been one of the first German dj’s ever to play drum and bass in Germany and did a lot to build up the scene in Mannheim, playing at Milk, Soho and was involved with the Network project. We love his dj and production style - it is quite relaxed, deep, pure, not so heavy, and actually he gets more and more into production, so there is a lot of stuff to expect from him. He made one track with Bassface Sascha, one of Germany’s best known and also first drum and bass dj’s, when they were living together at his place for a while. “Keep Goin’ On” is totally pleasing the liquid funk heads, while Jonathan’s “Oddity” chills in and out."
"Dub Yo" was used in a recent Therapeutics broadcast -

A. Cytech & The Green Man (tgm) - Collision
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/tgm_cytech_collision.mp3
B1. The Green Man (tgm) - Autobahn
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/tgm-autobahn.mp3
B2. ICR - Wide Awake
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/icr-wideawake.mp3
"Young Matthias Keufen from Hamm impresses us with hard and futuristic sounds with a lot of weird ambience and crazy drum skills. That is no wonder, as his musical career started as a long-haired speed-metal drum player in 1990 – and you wouldn’t be able to see that today. He sent us a demo, and besides liking the music, tgm realized that this guy is exactly 10 years younger than himself - born on February 21st. There were more vibes in common and so they started the track, which took tgm ages to finish (“feb 21st”). Combination really wanted the track, so finally it comes out on vinyl there. Later on, Cytech passed his track “Collision” to tgm, which was nearly done and just received a few changes and rearranging in the Basswerk studio. More work of Cytech and tgm is to come."
"Gál Zoltán from Hungary kept sending us demos and shows incredible sequencer skills, doing most of his works within Propellerhead's Reason. He lives on the countryside and hardly makes it to a party, but is the founder and co-editor of the country's well respected online drum & bass magazine www.impulsecreator.hu. The Hungarian d&b scene is huge and Zoltán recently had a stunning release on Breakbeat Science’s Orgone label. His style is very electronic and joins other young Hungarian producers shaping the futuristic sounds of the Dsci4 label, while ICR is being a little more musical and sometimes mellow."
Both "Collision" and "Wide Awake" were played on a recent Therapeutics broadcast -

A. Diz:Play - The Syndicate
http://www.basswerk.de/dubplates/diz_play-thesyndicate.mp3
B. (to be announced)
"26 year old Henrik Wild from Cologne. He has sent us his stuff after visiting our parties. Henrik studies neuro-informatics, lives in Cologne and also produces tracks together with his brother a.k.a. N-Phect. "The Syndicate" is a solo track from him. Henrik also gained band experiences working as composer, producer, guitar player and drum programmer for a band called Sunbomb (1998-2001, a mixture of Korn & Prodigy), but he left with nothing as the inspiration of a band performance, experiencing craziness of the egotistic music business. He is very down to earth – while “The Syndicate” makes the crowd fly high."
This track was played on Therapeutics -
