Asco and Kahlil wont stop make people talk about them. Originary from the north Parisian Suburb, nothing predistined them for such an extraordinary story. Since perfectionnistes, and many French LP featurings (feross mike, arken), album featurings (triptik microphonorama), compilations (Timebomb, Maximum Boycott, 93 seine saint Denis) and since the success of their first official release (sold out and rare commodity at well informed crate diggers) " microphone technologie ", the buzz around Bunzen carry on expanding.
And, according to the credits of rage & furie, it seems highly likely that Bunzen will carry on spreading round.
After having received the heavy support of Wildchild on Microphone Technologie, this is another californian underground major figure, issued from the lootpack constellation, which joins Bunzen for a few rhymes with them. Oh No, madlibs brother, MC and conceptor, from whom the solo album is one of the latest piece of news of the californian label Stonesthrow).
Armed with a impressive phrasing, Asco and Kahlils rap is captivating. It is the russian nomad from the english label Ninja tune, Dj Vadim who contacts them to work with Bunzen which make them gain an international fame !
Their cutting edge rhymes are alternatively conscious, engaged, and precise on their own environnment, touching life realities, burning topics, and furiously hiphop against the record industry, its corrupted actors and its disconcerting failings.
Their musical universe show their wide musical opening : soul, jazz, reggae, rock, everything is sampled and dissected to deliver original sonorities.
Influenced bu artists issued from the Bay Area like Lootpack ,Madlib Planet Asia,Rasco ), Cincinnaty (Hi-Teck, Talib Kweli) New york (Pete Rock , or Gangstarr). Affected by the wish of making complete and personnal pieces of work, they collabore with some unknown but full talented sound-architects which provides a recognizable taste and color. (Baptman et Robin the heavyweight champs) ,a japanese producer Dj Kazu ,and Astronote ( young genius behind the keys)
Signed with, a french distributor, but always in independent and self product wayway, the duo takes of with a heavy start in Japan , UK, Germany, and US. In France, by word of mouth, Bunzen finds its public within the hip hop lovers and purists !
In 2005, they will release their 3rd 12 inches with featurings of Medaphoar and Dudley Perkins and with OhNo at keyboards for a remix as to conclude the californian adventure trilogy. A special record too produced by Dj Vadim on a limited edition.
They will also have many featurings on a few French projects (Eclectic sessions, Boom Bap session vol 2 ,Mike EP, etc) before the release of their first very expected LP.
By the affinities game created with Dj Vadim , they received the extreme honnor to participate to the 1er part of Mr Complex in Camden (Camden Underworld) Kung Fu evenings 16th march 2004 and GZA (Wu Tang Clan) 15th may 2004 in the bristol Academy in front of 1000 bursting out english fellas, reserving them a very warm welcome.
Bunzen relies on a great credibility in the French underground hiphop, thanks to theirs unique attitude , lyrics and flow.
