They still exist, these stories: A fresh newcomer project from Cologne sends their first demo to just one address. An A&R, who has a medically certified autotune allergy, listens to the demo, hears an autotune track and signs the band anyway. "Streetpoet" by Mourad Kehailia and Sebastian Fischer aka 9OASES is as unusual as the genesis of this record. It's a wild hybrid of raving breakbeats, a chord hook that would have done Underworld proud in their heyday and the aforementioned autotune rap. It is magical. Axel Boman is a remixer who can make the magic even more magical. His eight-minute version of "Streetpoet" establishes a long overdue new genre: trancehall! With "New Ballad," 9OASES show listeners that they really mean business with their plans for world conquest. This is great techno pop with heart and mind.
