«The Tape vs. RQM - Luvely» with Remixes by Chris de Luca, Kalabrese & Filewile is out now!

The Tape vs RQM is Berlin based producer Robot Koch (Jahcoozi, Autodrive, MMDC) and Polish Brooklyn born, Barcelona resident MC RQM (Al Haca, Stereotyp, I-Wolf, Filewile). The EP Luvely features the original track and three remixes by Chris de Luca (Funkstörung), Filewile and Kalabrese.

Luvely is a soulful, Rock-Electronica tune, built on a strong Hip Hop foundation. The intro gives the impression of listening to a live band play - an impression that remains throughout the track, even though the electronic production is hardly concealed. A Heavy rhythm section, super tight arrangements, intelligent in your face rhymes and an incredible over all groove make up this monster of a tune. Strange this piece was made in Berlin, when it sounds so incredibly American. It's just so very soulful, so big city sound, so 70's influenced, so movie score... so big! This sounds like the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Hip Hop - from a Billy Cobham kinda angle - so take it as a compliment.

Reviews:
Wer Dubtracks liebt, die auch mal jenseits der ausgetrampelten Elephantenpfade funktionieren und Alben mit vielen Vocalisten eh immer interessanter findet, als wenn jemand glaubt ein ganzens Album durch singen zu müssen, der dürfte dieses Album hier ganz gut finden. Die Beats haben die Schärfe mancher Dubstepproduktionen, sind aber vielseitiger und dazu kommen ziemlich gute Vocalparts von Leuten wie Rider Shafique, Joy Frempong, RQM, Nicolette, Zeno Tornado und anderen, Sehr sommerliche und irgendwie erzählerische Platte, die mir als geübtem Dubhasser von mal zu mal besser gefällt…
Bleed, de-bug, Juni 2007

…entrückter Hop trifft Harfengeräusche treffen irgendwie auch Clicks und Cuts-Reste und Dub. Crossover im hervorragenden Sinn. The Massage is the music und die zentrale Einheit der Gesellschaft. Kein Zweifel…

Rapreviews.com, 17. 04.07

The electronic minimal Funk of Filewile's «Damn» paints the perfect soundscape for New York Rapper RQM's brilliant anecdote about a ride on the A-train on a rainy Sunday. Rhyme and music blend in rare harmony to create a funny, crisp and sexy image of an only too familiar situation. 2 remixes accompany the original, one by Jahcoozi and the other by the Round Table Knights. The extra track is a dubby Reggae tune named «Forward», feat. Rider Shafique of the Son of Man / Pressure Drop camp . «Damn» is a taster for the forthcoming Filewile album «Nassau Massage» out on Mouthwatering Records May 25th 2007. LISTEN TO THE EP HERE.

The Album "Nassau Massage" from Filewile will be out on Mouthwatering Records in May 2007.
