JIVE Magazine Rating: 4 out of 5 Biscuits Some great cocky lyrics in the vocal samples and an old school bassline on some of the tracks, thinking back to that '97 Octane sound, for example, has made this a CD that goes around the block with me and never leaves my car stereo. You can't fault pH10 for their egocentric tactics because it's all in fun. My only disappointment is that I've never seen their sets or antics live. For now I'll settle for the great music they deliver. PH10 Bio and Release Information We are tough. We’ve played the nastiest of venues and rocked the sketchiest sound systems. We've been to countries where the electricity shows off to its friends by killing expensive samplers. We've taken airplanes to play raves that were shut down before we cleared security. We’ve recorded entire records in unfamiliar studios with no engineer and the “tight deadline”. Be assured, pH10 can take it. However, there is one thing that strikes fear in our jaded hearts - wait for it - day jobs. So, in trying to keep Recone and crew out of ‘business casual’ for 2004, we bring you the hottest pH10 release yet. After the success of the Needless to Say single in Feb. ‘04, Helmutvision has become one of the most anticipated albums in the electronic underground. With three fresh joints featuring Pete Miser, loads of big nasty beats & bass and dripping with the grit and force you’ve come to expect from this crew, this is an essential listen. In case you are unaware what the hell a pH10 is, here is some bio information and a little history: Brooklyn based pH10 are the Penn and Teller of Live PA. Concerts are hyped up parties with intense visuals and strange occurrences including strip-tease acts, strobe light helmets and dancers wrapped in vacuum hoses. Having played all over the US, Canada and Europe, pH10 has developed strong performance skills to back up their studio recordings. This is a true stage show that leaves audience members danced-out and smiling. Although the pH10 crew insists on light-hearted antics in their performances, they take their productions seriously. Rather than employ flowery bio language, we’ll let some quotes do the talking “pH10 churns out some of the chunkiest, most amusing New York drum 'n' bass since Ming + FS debuted their Junkyard style many moons ago” - Lotus Magazine “The humor is a refreshing change from darker, more serious, UK DnB productions” - World DJ “How do you describe ‘ph10’ in two words? Fuckin’ ill! Taking the hypnotizing rhythm of drum and bass to an exciting new level. And don’t just think a DJ in the dark behind the decks… think crazy live show” - Get Underground Magazine With 2 full-length records and several CD and Vinyl singles in their discography, pH10 stands apart from most ‘electronica’ crews. More crossover appeal than any US Jungle act in history and a live show that rivals the biggest names put pH10 on a planet of their own. pH10 tracks can be found on Dr. Israel's “Inna City Pressure”, Soothsayer's “Zen Turtle”, the Iron Feather Journal "Choonz & Warez" compilation, the Terraform Records “Systems Evolution” compilation, the 12” single on Terraformat Records, “Deffender”, The Full length “Sci-Fidelity” on Freedomzone Records, the wildly popular 2002 full length “Quarks and Gluons” on Terraformat Records, the “Needless to Say” single on Helmutplex Records, national “Truth” television ads and the XBOX game “Amped”. www.helmutplex.com
