'We Are To Answer' on ESL Music, June 9th 2009
Returning from extensive interstellar travels, Ancient Astronauts drop their eclectic debut album 'We Are To Answer' on June 9th! Marking a foray into new territory for ESL Music, 'We Are To Answer' is a melting pot of funk, dub reggae, and pure unadulterated hip-hop. Featuring vocal collaborations with Bootie Brown and Imani of legendary hip hop group the Pharcyde, Azeem, Tippa Irie, Bajka, Phat Old Mamas, Ulf Stricker, Raashan Ahmad and Entropik, 'We Are To Answer' is a block rockin' boom-bappin' sonic tour-de-force!
Ancient Astronauts is the alias of the funked out intergalatic duo, Kabanjak and Dogu, who recently returned to Earth in the year 2001. Having taken up residence in Cologne, Germany, Kabanjak and Dogu quickly set up a terrestrial sound studio, a record label (Switchstance Recordings), and a successful production, remixing, and DJ career dropping sound bombs all over the world.
Having already remixed Fort Knox Five, Up Bustle & Out, Ladybug Mecca of Digiable Planets, Zion I, and Dr. Rubberfunk, the duo has spent the last year putting their cosmic production skills to use crafting their genre splicing masterpiece debut, 'We Are To Answer.' Just as their name, "Ancient Astronauts" implies a mash-up of the distant past and the far future, the tracks on the album exhibit a melding of old school hip hop, funk and dub reggae with forward-thinking flair and production technique. The end result is a stunning debut, a genre defining album.
