Wood In Di Fire (D)
Wood In Di Fire rock the dancehall with Jamaican jazz and heavy reggae grooves at their monthly live jams at Berlin's Schokoladen club. Now they release their second CD: OFF THE HOOK (Moanin'/Rough Trade). Wood In Di Fire began as a session project. After five years, several tours and recordings they've become a band with an astonishing groove. But the session idea is still alive: Guests and members add flavours from Reggae, Trip Hop, Ska, Electro or Latin and make the music rich of unexpected turns. Wood In Di Fire have already prooven that they're able to put that down on CD. Their first album ÂQue Pasa? was listed in the critic's top ten 2003 of the german Reggae magazine Riddim. Like ÂQue Pasa? the new album OFF THE HOOK was recorded live in a barn in the countryside somewhere north of Berlin. The album features Susan Pawlak (velvet voice), Longfingah (ragga-emphasis), Ann (times to remember) and Eric (SambaRamba KlockTock).
