Jazz not Jazz. Soul not Soul. Hip not Hop. call it what you won’t. The atoms keep splitting and new genres are created almost every year. The combination of live playing and sampling has opened up another preverbial can of worms. From the deep dub superfreaked sound of Howie B. to the mystical D.O.P.E. of Austria’s Kruder and Dorfmeister…
From the smokin‘ jazz jam of the Ballistic Brothers to the boomin‘ bass, breaks and beats of Mekon…
Onwards and Upwards and just…

Over the hills and mountains they came… compilation after compilation… Bandwagons roll! In theses days of ‚cash-in‘ fever it is now even more important to reflect the true ideas and ideals of individuals attempting to challenge the nom. More musical and uptempo then it’s predecessors.
DOPE 3 journeys fromt the cut-up party values of The Ballistic Brothers to the dramatic, disco-led cellar of Faze Action, from the hypnotzin’riffs of Violet and Russ Gabriel to the endemic intricacies of Spacer and Les Rythmes Digitales. Welcome, once again, to the phuture.
