Catalogue number 6 from Dedicate highlights a reissue from a timeless beat mixtape dropped in a prestreaming era in 2012. The original 2rbostatic was released as a handmade USB flash drive/cassette tape hybrid in combination with a free download. For the first time, the remastered version will be on vinyl. On 50 minutes playtime Kollege Schnürschuh expresses his affection for hip-hop with 27 (almost) exclusively instrumental tracks representing the full spectrum of musical influences in all shapes and forms. A short entertaining journey through MPC sampling and synth sounds with an extraordinary love for details. Also featuring King Solomon.

Demian Sky is a meticulous beatmaker, experienced musician, committed record store manager, passionate DJ as well as excessive record collector and music enthusiast. His instrumental hip-hop debut A Kraut Tale is a narrative sound journey on 18 tracks. The song structures, the musical concept and the overall atmosphere of the record show very clearly that his influences are not only in hip-hop, but also in psychedelic and prog rock of the '60s and '70s. There are also some references to works of DJ Shadow, Dan The Automator, Cut Chemist, Gaslamp Killer, and such. It is all the more astonishing that, contrary to possible expectations, all samples come from old German Schlager and folk music records. The result is not a loose collection of individual pieces of music, but rather a coherent album with its own dramaturgy in two chapters.

It is the year 2020, a year that addresses our awareness of diversity, tolerance and sustainability in an assorted, socio-cultural way. Dedicate translate this demand into music. Nuthin' But A She Thang focuses on a marginalized view of instrumental beat music. This sampler, reflects a cross-section of the international female producer scene: 14 female artists, eight countries, four continents, one language -- music! The 14 instrumentals take the listener on a musical journey, which creates a tension between classic sample sound and modern current productions. The many facets of female beat producing are presented by exclusive contributions by Ainie (DE), Aygyul (AT), Courtney Hawkins (US), Da Chick (PT), Georgia Anne Muldrow (US), Gnarly (UK), Jillesque (US), Josi Miller (DE), Julie Schatz (US), Lisa Vazquez (US), Sadiva (AUS), Saltyyyy V (DE), SOWALL (KOR), and Usagi (JP). Together with Stylefile as a cooperation-partner, Dedicate were able to persuade none other than HERA (DE). She implanted an even more artistic approach and added an exclusive art print to this piece of music. Nuthin' But A She Thang is, in the end, not only a musical project, it is a statement, it is an attitude.
