about

To celebrate the Rebirth 100th Release and the 10th Year Anniversary the label owner Shield and his 'right arm' Robytek get in the studio to collaborate with two of the most innovative figures of the end of 70s / early 80s.

The A side is the 'The Pyramids' with Isabelle Antena, French singer and songwriter, founding member of electro-samba pioneers Antena. In the 1990s she also led another group, the Powaga Sisters, for three albums between until 2004. Alongside these projects she maintained a solo music career, selling over a million albums and earning musical acclaim across the globe. From 'Camino Del Sol' (1982) to 'Bossa Super Nova' (2010), her cool latin, bossa, jazz and funk vibes have delighted ears and feet worldwide. 'The Pyramids' is something really special, a cosmic and balearic song with a timeless meaning, with the collaboration of Martin Ditcham (Sade's percussionist) for the drum and Paolo Mantini, a real italian talent, for the bass and chords.

The AA side is 'NOW', a collaboration with Salvatore Principato (Sal P.) and Dennis Young, known as the vocalist and marimba/percussionist of the seminal early 80’s NYC band Liquid Liquid. The experimental sounding band emerged from New York City's vibrant Downtown scene in 1981, developing their own unique sound which they called 'big beat', a fusion of irresistible basslines, junkyard percussion and urgent, free-flowing lyrics. The group’s successes included club hits such as 'Cavern' (sampled by Grandmaster Flash in the making of 'White Lines'), 'Bellhead' and 'Optimo' in addition to sold-out concerts worldwide. Sal P and Dennis still explore today new ways of writing & performing music. ‘NOW’ is an experimental way to combine the live drums performed by Snacks (the Berlin based duo Rene Corbett & Aljoscha Babel), with the electronic world and the unique musical textures from Sal P and Dennis Young.
