With her powerful, deep and dubby DJ sets, EVA BE is no newcomer, neither in her home base of Berlin or internationally. But its not just behind the turntables that she has been successful - she has also tallied up quite a number of releases, mainly on DANIEL W. BEST’s label Best Seven and the Sonar Kollektiv umbrella. Besides a collaboration with FAT FREDDYS DROP singer JOE DUKIE, EVA BE has remixed MICATONE, TOLCHA and DUBLEX INC. and released the 12 inches Eve’s Time Tonite as well as Allée Virée; the EP’s and the tracks from them can be heard in edited and improved versions on the debut album Moving Without Travelling. On this production EVA BE worked together with BORIS MEINHOLD, who plays guitar for the wonderful MICATONE. EVA BE is concerned with exploring the interface between dub and electronica - using the opportunity to play with boundaries between genres, for example, mixing in sounds and melodies from an easy listening and soundtrack context. BORIS MEINHOLD’s guitar can be heard with EVA BE’s sound. With its dusty tremolo tone it is reminiscent of country music and ENNIO MORRICONE’s ‘Spaghetti Western’ soundtracks. The collaborations with a handful of specially selected guest singers on various tracks fit this concept perfectly and reinforce the albums casual pop appeal. The inimitable JOE DUKIE has already been mentioned (No Memory Of Time is also on the album). Also included on the list of guests are DAVID BEN-PORAT on the opening number, MC RQM (AL-HACA, TOLCHA, STEROTYP, JAHCOOZI), the actress PEGAH FERYDONI (‘Türkisch für Anfänger’), as well as MICATONE singer LISA BASSENGE and EAR aka DEMBA NABÉ from SEEED, who can be heard in Trouble Girl - a MICATONE remix of EVA BE which also made it onto the album. In short, with Moving Without Travelling, EVA BE and her partner BORIS MEINHOLD have managed to create an album of polished openness, each piece invites you to lose yourself in it. Just the way it should be with excellent dub! |
