F.S. Blumm aka Frank Schültge from Berlin has been making marvelous music for many years now. Be it solo like on his latest album (Pingipung in 2013) as part of the subtle folk-duo -Bobby & Blumm- or as a sound- scape researcher at the side of Nils Frahm. But even though F.S. Blummbastic sees the light of day for the very first time in this release, the combina- tion of Dub and Blumm is not new: He is part of the Quasi Dub Development (QDD). The collective around Blumm and Luca Fadda from New York recently released the album -Little-Twister vs Stiff-Neck- with features by Lee Scratch Perry or Lady Ann on Pingipung in 2014. These -Riddims and Biscuits- came to live during the creation of material for future QDD-concerts. F.S. Blummbastic played all instruments himself, rhythm guitar, organ and of course bass to send the results the the colleagues in New York. Soon it was clear: These riddims have the most impact in their reduced form. Theyd like to stand alone and get played back loudly. For the drums F.S. Blummbastic brought Helmut Erler aka hey from Hey-Ø-Hansen into the QDD cosmos. Not only did he bang the drums, but he has also mixed, mastered and cut the vinyl of this album.
