IN:FORMATION (SK)

The band [in:formation] was formed at Dunajská Streda, Slovakia, during the spring of 2005. Our music is said to fall into the triphop/downtempo genre, but it's more than just that - our songs are characterized by heavy hiphop beats, fat dub basslines and minimal, repetitive grooves, supported by vocals and samples. The first self-published demo of the band, Pearls, was created in 2007. Our first full length album, "Bristol" (2009) is the continuation of the music journey started back then. The 11 tracks on it range from vocal trip-hop through dub and jazzy hiphop to breaks. Apart from two vocalists, we were also supported by MC Borisz on this release. The album received airtime from radios in both Slovakia (Radio_FM, Pátria) and Hungary (Tilos), with our track "The Pressure" being selected to the Hungarian collection "Narcollapse vol. 2". We are also into remixing, both of well known tunes and music of the local bands. In 2009, one of our remixes found its way to the remix album of Slovak band "Ear Drum Kru", Fanki Faka Remixes.

Since 2006, we perform our music as a live band with drums, bass guitar and live sampling, supported by guest vocalist Juli Simon and Szabina Csánó (Moustache), as well as a brass section. We have supported acts like Zagar (HU), The Carbonfools (HU) and Noisecut (SK), playing in clubs and festivals in both Hungary and Slovakia, including venues in both Bratislava and Budapest. Not only have we played together with live bands, we have also done several live performances as part of electronic parties together with DJs.

*"Hip-hop basics, scratch and synths create the trip-hop ambience, of course with some added this and that, text fragments, sax... the songs with the guest vocalists are good, moreover the others, too..." *quart.hu

*"...a very nice revival of the Slovak scene... the final sound is pretty cool."* Biba, Radio_FM

*"...so many great and fresh ideas... 'Bristol' is... with some real misses, but also with some magnificent moments. All in all, very promising."* triphop.hu
