The Hamburg label Echo Beach is celebrating the Up, Bustle And Out's anniversary with an extravagant compilation. For over 25 years the name Up, Bustle And Out has been synonymous with music, sound experimentation, exotic places, and -- last, but not least -- a very specific mindset. The formation from Bristol are representatives of the first Ninja Tune generation, alongside DJ Food, 9 Lazy 9, and The Herbaliser. Up, Bustle And Out released their first singles on the label of Coldcut DJs Black & More and became a key act on the label's first compilations. The sound of the band, which comprises DJs Rupert Mould aka Senor Roddy and David "D" Fell aka Clandestine Ein, guitarist Senor Cuffy, beat representative Dave Cridge, and percussionist and singer Eugenia Knight, is shaped by the period in which turntablism and sample collages became the new jazz. The band presented their unique take on this direction; breakbeats of rare funk records, cuts, and scratches from the turntable, which back then were still the driving force underpinning club music, garnished with samples and Senior Cuffy's guitar. A preference for double bass and Latin American rhythms, was obvious from the start, running through the band's work like a leitmotif. But soon this frame became too narrow for the quintet, and UB&O started broadening their horizon geographically as well as musically. Up until then, they had sampled Bossa Nova and Cuban rhythms; now, though, UB&O left their comfort zone and traveled to Havana, Cuba, to pick up the music at its source. It has been a fantastic journey, spanning a quarter of a century and three continents; this ride is now being told in time-lapse on their latest release, Almanac. Field recordings and historic radio jingles add a dash of local color. Harnessing the power of disjointed jazz funk sample collages, elaborate productions in Havana's venerable recording studios, and travel snapshots of the digital age, on ten albums, numerous singles, versions, and compilations, Up, Bustle And Out tell a fascinating story -- with an open ear for the signals of globalization, hearts that beat stridently on the left, and always a step ahead of their time.

"Up, Bustle & Out are one of the original Ninja Tune acts. Over the past ten years, UBO have released five albums and countless singles through the London-based label, kindling world-wide interest in their experimental, multicultural sound... Once again, UBO left no stone unturned to get together the right equipment to reproduce the original sound of 1970s Jamaica. From arrangement through to song writing, the result pays homage to the Jamaican producers of the 70s, beaming the dub space shuttle into a contemporary orbit at the same time."

2010 release. The 11th full length album from the Bristol stalwarts is again full of moods, sounds, landscapes and the scents of foreign places.

Formerly signed with the Ninja Tune and Unique label, this is U, B & O's fourth album for the internationally operating Germany-based label Collision - Cause Of Chapter 3. This release not only celebrates a unique and deeply humanistic vision of a globalized world, and its concerns, but also the leading role of Istanbul -- as an inspiration for the European Capital of Culture in 2010.
