Thomilla - bio "Freeze" It happens rarely that successful artists make still large jumps. Fortunately there are exceptions. Thomilla does not belong to the producers, who made themselves comfortable on their Lorbeeren it. On its second solo album "Freeze" underlines Thomilla that it is as skirt that DJ producer a class for itself. The Benztown founder and Turntablerocker even extended his musical spectrum. With a fresh selection of international guests he presents his completely personal draft of kickendem Uptempo Pop. Dragging along and club-compatibly the pieces carry the handwriting of the Songwriters Thomilla clearly. Much is passed since its first solo album. "Genuine Draft" from the year 2000 is considered today as pointing the way to the German HipHop boom. Still before the tide of German RWS albums Thomilla HipHop, Soul and Reggae with guests made such as Afrob, Joy Denalane and Gentleman fit for the clubs. Since its "Picknicker" Remix (1996) for the Fantasti four that carried today 30-jaehrige producer some German-language RWSBY with the Benztown Qualitaetssiegel into the Charts, among them massifs of tones, Thomas's D and 5 stars Deluxe. In addition, international of star such as OutKast, Raphael Saadiq & q-tip, Bounty killer or N'Dea Dave haven geremixt Thomilla with the soulig warm Benztownflavour. The production company Benztown it manages together with his partner Peter hopes in a house at the slope natives of stuttgart of "boiler". In the middle in the forest - beside Remixen for the Spezializtz or MC Rene - also the Ferris MC single developed "for memory". Although it remains active still as a producer by RWS pieces and loves HipHop, one cannot limit Thomilla as a solo artist no more to this niche. It is already far beyond that. On "Freeze" clearly the influence of the Turntablerocker became generally accepted. Turntablerocker is the common project of Thomilla and Michi Beck, which works at present on the new album of the Fantasti four. After Thomilla produced the entire solo album of Michi Beck "world-wide" with the named-giving TRACK "Turntablerocker", they began to provide as an explosive club DJ team for sensation. In common productions the experience from the DJing is located in the foreground. Its first album "Classics" of 2001 was a multicolored Potpourri from Uptempo, HipHop, Electro, Broken Beat, radio and Pop - a Wildstyle from what inspired it on the tanzflaeche. Thomilla, the Multistylist, feels without the close borders of category best. "Freeze" is a schnittmenge from the Turntablerocker and the Benztownsound. Which works in the light of "Genuine Draft" like a complete change, a consistent development is for the Turntablerocker. HipHop works here no more than music style away, but forms the foundation of the production way and the Feelings. It is inescapably audible that Thomilla concerned after wild nights in the citizen of Berlin F.U.N.Club up to the Mayday in the meantime completely elsewhere -, where the Dancefloors burns. And also in the compositions and arrangement he drew from his production experiences as Turntablerocker and nearly completely without Samples did. In January 2003 Thomilla began with the work to "Freeze". At the same time it began to take guitar instruction. Already on the second Turntablerocker Milla and Michi Beck the music brought in album "Smile" 2002, instead of samplen it - like size partly still on their debut -. Thus many sketches developed to "Freeze" at the guitar. Inescapably audible is also the rockige impact on some TRACKS. Who saw however once a DJ set of Thomilla, it knows that he mixes also here Songs of Nirvana and the White Stripes with RWS music of KRS-1 and Dancefloor Classics of C&C Music Factory - very much for the joy of the party people. "Freeze" reflects these emotions from the weekend. It is a Dancealbum, which like a set of Thomilla functions. Each piece stands for itself, unfolds however only in the whole one a completely own sense. Made like a Mixtape for friends. Even if Thomilla grew out obviously from the time of its first solo album, there are connections. The single "Freaky Girl" is an update of "goes off", the club hit 2000 from Thomilla and Afrob. Also "Freaky Girl" is by a similarly compelling Partyvibe filled - however still around few beats more intensified by minute. Over the Stylemix from Electro, Miami bass and Pop rappt and sings the Londonerin Ayak (admits of the Beck's from gold advertisement). In a session in Benztown benztown-Studios came off "Freaky Girl" spontaneously. The Tune radioactively contaminates party mood purely. Another left to Thomillas debut is the Dancehall infected "Blue print". If 2000 sang still Gentleman and Daddy of ring over Thomillas version, chattet now Skarra Mucci from Konstanz over a dirty and nevertheless smoothen 4 tons the floor. One knows comparably outstanding Dancefloorfusionen of this kind otherwise only from the Basement Jaxxx from England. One the open team Ups is on the soulfullen Opener "Now You Know". Here Soffy O. meet, admit from Tok Tok, and RWSBY Sékou from the Benztowncamp one on the other. Thomilla still knew Soffy from the last Turntablerocker album. The Uptempo Soultrack opens the album and gives the open Vibe. The pieces, which Thomilla with DJs took up, aim fully at the tanzflaeche off. Techno/House producer DJ Tonka and Thomilla had already planned their kollaboration years ago. With winkings titles and sound of "emergency Satisfied" reflect the Vibe of Berlin center. "it is a Ode at Berlin from the deepest south" means Thomilla and laughs schelmisch. The housige TRACK of the two colleagues will be represented also on the coming album by DJ Tonka. With DJ Friction of the friend circle connects to Thomilla a long friendship. Already on their earlier albums the nachbarschaftlichen Buddies with one another made pieces. You at power station of ajar robot Electro of "The Body" come directly from the planet skirt 2004 and become on the coming route in the spring 2004 resounding rocken. "Sloppy" developed with DJ passion. The 22-jaehrige German Turk is a newcomer from the Benztownstall, which is supported and promoted by Thomilla. Originally as HipHop TRACKS planned developed around the eastern Samples the rapid Score to his pursuit of Bombay over Istanbul to Stuttgart. Completely consciously Thomilla did without large names among the guests: "if a large American star would have sung drauf, that the pieces would too much have personifiziert." Instead it invited a fresh number of highly gifted singers, singers and DJs on "Freeze". The album remains so stimmig as a whole, and offers some surprises. The Oezlem living in Hamburg sings on the wild "Slap That Bitch". A hit with the explosive yield of Stadiorock. Oezlem kollaboriert already with will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, and was represented also on productions of jet black as well as the first Turntablerocker album. An old acquaintance is also Billy all, which provides on "I Cee U" for moments of the longing, which develop only on the tanzflaeche. The singer and multi-instrument valleyist have already on "girls NR. 1"of Michi Beck sung and was responsible with Turntablerocker already for some gold-correct Vocalparts. Thomilla produced also a Song, which stands in the tradition of HipHouse from the Achtzigern. For this it activated Tyree Cooper from Chicago. The vowelist living in Berlin at that time wrote itself by its unforgotten "turn UP The bass" into the Dancefloorhistorie. With the class 1974 the eighties to the most important phases in Thomillas career belonged. But there is not the eighties of the Electro Clash, but from old the School RAP and HipHouse, which coined/shaped him. 2004 come thereby naturally somewhat still much Kickenderes with raus. A further all star in Stuttgart area is the muiltilinguale Soulman Fetsum. Became acquainted with Thomilla Fetsum in the Hi-bar in Stuttgart. Might it does not admit from the last feature on "Mach stress" of massifs of tones be. Also with Joy Denalane sang already in the Background also. With the souligen "Dedicated" the album ends slowly. And the piece of instrument valley "baby" dismisses us with a broad Grinsen into the early morning hours. Thomilla was important that some TRACKS without full Vocalpraesenz make the elbow of "Freeze" round. With Michi the Beck produced "I Heard You Were DEAD" forms the bridge between the solo artist and the Turntablerocker. The groovende solo TRACK "Ping Pong" is for Thomilla the heart of the album: "it is is first manufactures piece been - a kind BBQ Funkstueck. One can imagine a lauen summer evening, and during the sun goes down, catches the people to dance on... " With "Freeze" Thomilla submitted a second solo album, as only few succeed. In the light of the first solo album "Freeze" appears as giant jump. From the view of Turntablerocker it is a courageous step to a completely own version of Popmusik. The artistic free space as DJ producer, which Thomilla created itself in ten years, it extends 2004 by its handwriting as Songwriter - without however the view of the Dancefloor to lose. Came out a music, which must justify itself neither, and still another name needs.
