Together with Mü, Andy D and Markus Kammann aka Fluxer M DJ, the legendary music club the Beatbox was started in Wuppertal, Germany in 1988. Fluxer M, as the "musical head" of the club, developed the musical spectrum as well as the booking of DJs and artists, which filled the immense gap in Germany's club culture at that time with a great range of "Black Music." Due to the arrival of the Beatbox, hundreds of DJs and artists were promoted: from Gang Starr to A Tribe Quest, from Lou Donaldson to Cassandra Wilson, from Jamiroquai to the Propellerheads, from Giles Peterson to Norman Jay and LTJ Bukem to the Stanton Warriors, just to name a few in a long row of accomplished artists. In 1990, Mü, Jo Jo and Fluxer M decided to open up a record shop and wholesale to make these artist's products available. Groove Attack was born and started in Wuppertal but moved to Cologne in 1993. Fluxer M. split from the Beatbox in 1995 but started another club in 1999, the 45rpm, which worked in the same tradition as the Beatbox until 2002. Throughout all these activities, Fluxer M produced music for the Dope on Plastic 6 compilation series, made trailers for Wilkinson shavers and Konami games, assembled tracks for the Yaziko lounge music compilation and released a 12" under the Mack & MKB project name. Robo Bass Hifi celebrates current electro-reggae sounds of all kinds. Commencing with roots and dub and continuing with dubstep/drumstep, future jungle, and UK digital as well as D'n'B, all styles are represented. Supplied by the striking productions of Fluxer M emerges a floor-filling sound. Performed by the producer Fluxer M and additional DJs, meeting each other through their love of bass music and roots for a very special mixture. Featuring artists such as Bounty Killa, Cutty Ranks, Dubmatrix & Linval Thompson, Ragga Twins, Groove Corporation, Big Youth, Dubblestandart & Marcia Griffith, Ken Boothe, Horace Andy, and Martha & The Muffins.

For over 15 years, the Echo Beach label group has stood for the best in reggae-flavored sounds. At Echo Beach, dub has always been a philosophy, a way of life, with the term "dub" accorded very fluid boundaries. Good examples of how brilliantly Echo Beach covers the musical bandwidth of the genre are the excellent King Size Dub series and the Sound of Dub. The latest series, Echo Beach Discollection, opens up the next chapter, venturing into the field hitherto referred to as "lounge," now possibly threatened by extinction. On EBD Vol. 2, the Select Cuts label -- specialists for the best of best -- present the ultimate soundtrack for Echo Beach's dream beach. Wherever that virtual piece of paradise happens to be, this comp ensures that it flowers with the finest tunes. Echo Beach life is floating wonderfully and lounging softly -- ranging from electro lounge to jazzy downbeat, dope muzak to worldtrade dub clash. The emphasis is on good listening, with Select Cuts effortlessly living up to its name. Hand-selected classic tunes that are sure to be the soundtrack to your imaginary summer. Artists include: Simon Slow, Super Pulse, Veli & Stromer, Lap Dub, DJ Elbe, Bajcar, Monosolar, Redlounge Orchestra, String'N'Bass, Dubblestandart, Dreadzone, Wet Cookies, M&M and Seven Dub.

"Features the original Lee Perry 'Upsetter Mix' entitled Rally Dub (taken from Yabby You's Jesus Dread album) and a great version of the 'Run Come Rally' anthem by rave rockers Apollo 440 -- Howard Grey the old dub 'n' punk mastermind in the house with mix programming from Simon Crom. The original was cut at the Black Ark circa 1974 and is to be found on the double CD compilation of the artist/producer's finest moments compiled by Dub Vendor's Noel Hawkes (BAFCD021). Apollo 440 quotes their mix as follows: 'Central to working method is the idea of the recording studio as an instrument. Everyday for spiritual uplift and sonic inspiration we turn to the Old Testament prophets of dub -- Lee Perry, King Tubby, Scientist and the other innovators at the controls, alchemists of magnetic iron oxide who prepared the way for all those of us who make electronic music. The opportunity to have Yabby You's righteous words and Lee 'Scratch' Perry's dubbery pulsing through the console at our Apollo control was to good to miss, it was a pleasure and a privilege. Dedicated to Adrian Sherwood, Mikey Dread, The Ruts, Jackie Mittoo and the UB's who taught me how to skank.'"
