The 4UrbanArtists' unique melody driven electronica style is a blend of Nujazz with experimental chord structures, trip-hop driven grooves, funky bass lines and atmospheric soundscapes. Their first album Jungle Jazzin' was recorded in 2002/2003. Six songs from that album have been remastered and released by the indie record label MoontraxX.
The 4UrbanArtists is a German trip-hop and electronica collective and was founded by the bass player and composer Daddy Deep alias Volker Schwanke in 2000. Another founding member was the British born lyricist and singer-songwriter Frances Livings whose vocals are featured on five of the tracks. The band played their first regular live gigs at club on the famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg. This is where they met the DJ, sound programmer and guitarist Automart (Martin Hillmann) from Krefeld who joined the band and became a co-writer. The forth member - implied by the name 4UrbanArtists - is a laptop.
