Junkyard Production’s sound is a mix of crispy lo-fi dub, jazzy vocals and Jamaican style mc’ing. The band is based in Aarhus and Aalborg in the north of Denmark. The main influence is ol’skool Jamaican dub as well as the modern dub sound from Berlin.
Founder of Junkyard Productions is Rasmus Allin. He’s been working with electronic music since 1995, with the Danish band Dub Wise. He played guitar on the Örtz album “Another Eden”, from witch the hit-single “We Don’t Talk” was taken. He’s also DJ’ing as a member of “The Dub Collective”. Christian is a computer-wizz and accomplished drummer. His greatest contribution to the band is his anarchistic sense of humor and spontaneity. Dennis is an amazingly powerful bass player in styles like hiphop, acid jazz and reggae. Ena is an experienced and skilled singer, who’s done a wide variety of styles such as jazz, soul, pop and also acid-jazz infused with hiphop. MC Pops Jabu has been living in South Africa, Zimbabwe and London, before he settled down in Denmark. He already has several albums under his belt. Doing his thing live he can tear the roof of any venue.
