"Don't Push Me" is part of Shroombabs debut album Splendid!
With Splendid! Austria’s drum&bass queen releases her first album on High Tension Recordings, a musical melting pot that also shows her influences besides Drum’n’Bass. She plays a light-theremin on the intro, with which sounds are created without even touching the instrument - just by light. On the tracks “Don’t Push Me” and “Overproof”, produced with Pharmacarma, we´ll hear some funky riffs, whereas on “Outlier”, “Invasion” and “Para Voce” her heart beats for technoid and dark vibes with straight drum&bass beats.
Techstep and neurofunk are Shroombab’s favorite sub-genres of Drum’n’Bass, clearly evident by how she picked a fine selection of remixers: Polarity, Dementia, Isee, M-Force and Alkor answered the call of duty.
Splendid! is out since December 7th, 2010 on CD and in digital stores, distributed by Accompong and Trost. The album is available at iTunes, Amazon (both CD and mp3s), breakbeat.co.uk, Nokia Music, Juno Download, Chemical and Digital Tunes.
Shroombab has been addicted to music since childhood. She collected vinyl and played bass guitar until she got infected by electronic music, especially Drum’n’Bass. In 1998 she started to spin records in public. Gigs in over 28 countries all over the world followed.
The vibrating sub basses and broken beats led her to sequencing and sampling, and soon she began to produce her first electronic tunes. Releases on 13 different labels in Germany, UK, Romania and the USA followed.
At some point Drum&Bass was not enough anymore and she got infected by the genres breaks and dubstep. Since 2005 she creates deep basslines and beats at 140 BPM as well.
2011 – 13 years after her start – she still delivers the same quality as ever. It doesn't matter if she plays in front of 100 or 5000 people, in small smokey clubs or huge heavy raves, Shroombab always knows how to rock the crowd and give them what they want.
Production-wise, she has released her debut-album SPLENDID! at the end of 2010. Further stuff will follow soon. To book her for DJ gigs, contact her directly at: shroombab ( at) gmx (dot) at or via skype (shroombab).
