Urbs aka Paul Nawrata has been dj-ing for 15 years
in Austria turning the tables usually hip-hop but also breakz.
Starting in 1997, Urbs first production Da Beauty & Da Beatz together with
DJ Chaoz on Uptight Records, single Closer to God made it on several compilations both the original version and
the remix by Thievery Corporation. 2000 - 2003 saw Urbs working together
with DJ Cutex, Break of Dawn on Hongkong Rec. was his international
breakthru.
The last two years, Urbs was working on his first solo
Album Toujours le même film finding a complete change in style,
from hip-hop to soundtrack but never losing his hip-hop roots producing
several breaks and hip-hop remixes for Pulver Records and Patrick Pulsinger
austrian fame.
Urbs' influences started off in his youth listening
to classic tunes and New Wave, noise, metal, and of course hip-hop. Looking
for special tunes, Urbs started collecting soundtracks, chansons and Jazz
of the 60s. Today, Urbs most influences for his album Toujours le même
film are Ennio Morricone, Serge Gainsbourg, Francis Lai, Francois de
Roubaix, Alain Goraguer, and original scores in general. |
