Four On Six - Musique

Wood In Di Fire Rock The Dancehall With Jamaican Jazz And Heavy Reggae Grooves At Their Monthly Live Jams At Berlin's Schokoladen Club. Wood In Di Fire Began As A Session Project. After Five Years Several Tours And Recordings They've Become A Band With An Astonishing Groove. But The Session Idea Is Still Alive Guests And Members Add Flavours From Reggae Trip Hop Ska Electro Or Latin And Make The Music Rich Of Unexpected Turns. Wood In Di Fire Have Already Prooven That They're Able To Put That Down On CD. Their First Album ¿Que Pasa? Was Listed In The Critic's Top Ten 2003 Of The German Reggae Magazine Riddim. Like ¿Que Pasa? The New Album OFF THE HOOK Was Recorded Live In A Barn In The Countryside Somewhere North Of Berlin. The Album Features Susan Pawlak Velvet Voice Longfingah Ragga-Emphasis Ann Times To Remember And Eric SambaRamba KlockTock . In Spring 2000 A Couple Of Musicians From Various Berlin Bands Had Enough Of Practising Their Band's Programs And Clearly Defined Style All The Time. They Met In A Much To Small Rehearsal Room In Prenzlauer Berg With Just One Aim Just Play And Indulge In The Reggae Groove. Their Musical Backgrounds Mother’s Pride Ska Luniq Trip Hop Ska-T Ska-Punk-Ragga The Special Guests Ska Sonidos Unidos Latin/Calypso? JazzBo 60ies Ska-Jazz La Foot Creole New Orleans-Jazz . Later That Year Wood In Di Fire Started To Play Public Sessions At Schokoladen Club. They Were Often Joined By Friends From Other Bands - Or People Who Just Dropped By With Their Instruments. The Band Still Plays Those Sessions Every Month. Today It's An Institution Of The Berlin Reggae Scene. Not Only The Music Is Improvised In Summer 2001 Wood In Di Fire Produced A First Demo. With A Few Hundred CD-ROM Copies The Crew Started On A Spontaneous Tour Through France And Spain. The Demo Album "Harvest In The East" Probably Still Serves To Bring Back The Holiday Memories Of Some Enthusiastic Tourists Who Witnessed The Chaotic Concerts - On The Beach Promenade Or In The Small Sports Pub In Nizza Somewhere On A Camping Ground Or In That Squat In Paris... Wood In Di Fire Started Playing More And More "regular" Concerts Among Them Concerts With The Slackers Or At The "Dub Club" Party At Flex Club In Vienna. In May 2003 The Band Released A Vinyl Single "Jah War" RecSin Is A Cover Version Of A Song By The Legendary British Punk Band Ruts From 1979. The B-Side Of The Single Contains A Dub Version By Rod Gonzales Die Ärzte . The First Regular Album ¿Que Pasa? Was Released In August 2003. The Basic Tracks Were Recorded Live In A Barn In The Countrysinde Somewhere North Of Berlin. It Found A Distributer In France Mosaic .
