e:gum?s 2 powerbooks and 2 voices travel on rough terrain.Funky grooves between Electro, RNB and beyond, squeaking bass lines and refined harmonic structures meet sexy voices, both female and male, in a variety of hybrid forms between dance-track and song, combining the human and the virtual. Their first 12? on Klein Records , ?Stop2? shows a modern approach to writing simple, but effective hooklines ! Beside the Album Version and Hans Platzgumer & e.stonjis Dub it features a fantastic Remix by DEXTER (Klakson\u002FClone) who just recently stunned listener?s with his mix of electro, disco and acid with his ?RAW? EP on his own imprint Klakson.e:gum is more than the sum of its already famous parts:Hans Platzgumer, famous for founding seminal rock-band HP ZINKER, as well as its new-millennium incarnation CONVERTIBLE, has been around for more than 15 years. Besides numerous electronic solo-projects like SEPERATOR, AURA ANTHROPICA, FINGERFOOD, CUBE&SPHERE or SHINTO on labels like Disko B, Domino, Echokammer, Lado, Playhouse or Cheap ? to name but a few, he also produces Sountracks and features for Film, TV and Radio. Together with Jens Döring aka E.STONJI (Phantomnoise, Skam) they form the duo HP.STONJI, which is also the nucleus of e:gum. Collaborating for some years now, they have been playing international music and art-festivals with their multi-media live-show and have been producing ambient soundtracks and radio work. Their first album ?Mélaina Cholé? was released on Swiss Label ?Spezialmaterial? ealier this year, following their immensely successfull ?Metic? EP (Voted into the BBC?s Top records of 2004). On this track they are joined by CATRIONA SHAW, another long-time collaboratrice of Hans in notorious Sleaze-Art Band QUEEN OF JAPAN (Echokammer), whose raunchy voice and intense vocal performance complements the bizarre funk of the maestro?s perfectly.
