Wareika is the collaboration of Henrik Raabe and Jakob Seidensticker, both specialists in dub techniques (Voidcom / Ministry of Sound, Jubilee Rec., Ostwind Rec, Lebensfreude Rec.), jack-of-all-trades Florian Schirmacher (Philpot, Cadenza, Perlon, Poker Flat) and Michael Hank. Enjoying their favorite records, they realized a musical cooperation, which in fact has what it takes to remain in everlasting remembrance. As new artists on Connaisseur, Wareika features a unique blend of dub, percussion and afro beat music. The four ”Wareikians”, each of them well trained and experienced musicians show in their works a crystallization of their musical aspirations, looking forward into a brighter future. “Men Village” – their first production as a collective - comes up with almost 15 minutes afro-related drums and percussions, accompanied by warm analog-synth raster scanning and highlights, served on a pushing, strong-force but simple beat, that carries one’s body and on and on. Reboot – the Below and Cadenza artist reduced the original to its more rhythm-based elements and added his typical trippin percussion twist.
