Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes is a project initiated by Dutch producer/DJ Mace. Fremdkunst is a blend of hard-hitting beats, funky tunes, and cinematographic soundscapes – a combination of jazz, surf, old school house, hip-hop, break-beats and and other musical styles. To complete the first official Fremdkunst album Mace worked with DJ’s Optimus and Vindictiv (Grazzhoppa’s DJ Big Band), Erwin Vann, Mete Erker, Shycop and others.
Fremdkunst was initially released independently in 2007 (in a very limited pressing) and is re-released in a new and revamped style – both musically and visually. Fremdkunst was the main inspiration for starting Fremdtunes, so it’s only right that this album is the label’s first release.
