Beats and Styles presents: "Allstars"

The newest release from Beats and Styles in Germany at the moment is "Allstars".

On 28.8.2003 Alimo&Control flew featured artists on the album from all over the world to perform at the album release party. On the same weekend they also decided to record a new track with all these artists featured on it. The beat was called "allstars" and everybody in the crew liked it right away.

On one sweaty afternoon at the studio we god Slarta John (Basement Jaxx) / UK, Papa Dee (”First Cut is the Deepest” and of course “Girls’ anthem”) / SWE, Z-MC (“Drum and the Bass” and Bomfunk MC’s: “Back to Back”) / USA, MC Jus Red (Smoove @ Ministry of Sound and Beats&Styles Anthem) / UK, MC Venom / UK and the mysterious London MC. Some female colour comes from Kallaghan / UK. For the chorus line we got the trustworthy Max’C, who's also featured on Dynamite. So very international in deed!

"B&S Anthem"/"Summer tune"



The second release from Beats and Styles is a perfect example of the versatile and international style this label can offer. With vocalists from Brazil, UK, USA and Finland and well produced drum'n'bass/new school party breaks/UK garage-flavours this one is definately takin Beats and Styles to the map.

On the D&B-side you've got a brazilian style drum'n'bass roller "Summer Tune" with touching vocals by Brazil's Papa Ricky. But the bomb is set at "Anthem" on the UKG-side. The absolutely rolling MC-lick by MC Jus Red from the UK takes the tune into a completely new level.
