Artist: Crash House Brothers
The
Crash House Brothers are the producer Drawat 137 and the DJ
Nexsone. No, these guys were not influenced by Kraftwerk,
they grew up in East Berlin and after the wall came down they
started to discover the diversity of music. While Drawat started producing his first techno and breakbeat tunes in the early nineties, DJ Nexsone rocked the crowds spinning oldskool hip hop. They were hanging around and tried to combine their musical roots and influences and did soundsystems in the neighbourhood, which often found their abrupt end in going on the run with speakers on the back or getting knocked out by a gaggle of mad skinheads armed with pieces of sports equipment. When Nexsone started to pitch up the hip hop tunes to mix it with jungle music in 1994 he got kicked out of his resident club. Frustrated of the local hip hop scene he started to look out for alternatives. Affected by his school mate Drawat 137 he got into club music like house and techno.
With the beginning era of big beat and chemical breaks they experienced their strongest influences and found their first common ground. About 1998 Drawat and Nexs noticed a copy of a Botchit Breaks compilation, which featured a couple of Nuskoolbreaks tracks. This was the point where they got infected by the nuskool fever. Even years later their fever was heavy enough to try to set up a monthly breaks night in a weird trance club, where the pimps hooked up for their beer after work at seven o'clock in the morning. Nobody knows who had less fun.
At the same time the Crash House Brothers got in touch with ED2000 and Vela from Dangerous Drums Recordings. In 2003 Dangerous Drums signed their debut track "crash house" to the compilation "It´s a Berlin thing vol.2". The follwing eventful year led to the formation of Carepack Records with Stephan, their early days friend, who helped them to save a lot of speakers and teeth.
