"Chris De Luca is the kind of guy that lives for music. In addition to his involvement in the legendary Funkstorung production and remix duo with Michael Fakesch and their uber-experimental Music Aus Strom label, he also owns the Munich-based Delirium record shop. Perhaps that is why he and Dominik Gilbert Marcel AKA Peabird hit it off so well. After a chance meeting at Delirium in 1998, the two hip-hop fanatics became fast friends and Peabird began to nurture an idea which, four years later, is finally complete. Chris and Peabird are long time hip-hop fans. If you take a closer look at their albums title, their passion for rap music and its environment becomes obvious. Thats why they have brought in top-shelf lyricists like Tryflynn, Profidence, and Beans from the mighty Anti-Pop Consortium to collaborate. Deadly Wiz Da Disko is hip-hop, but with characters like De Luca and Peabird behind the boards, you know thats not the whole story. More reminiscent of Prefuse 73 than DJ Premier, their debut album takes the cut n mix aesthetic of old school hip-hop and mashes it up with the most forward-thinking technologies at their disposal. This is body rock for robots, the soundtrack to intergalactic graffiti battles. If you need a hint, just imagine what would happen if Public Enemy got stuck in an elevator with Aphex Twin, only to be liberated by Chris and Peabird, samplers in hand. Deadly indeed."
