One of the new albums of Music-House was written by
the famous DJs that were known as Hybrid. The Album
(Hybrid Scores - MH16) brings 13 tracks of beats fused
with powerful orchestral and cinematic soundscapes.
This is a good reason to focus on this talented trio.
Hybrid are a trio of remixers/producers/DJs based in
the Welsh city of Swansea: Mike Truman, Chris Healings,
and Lee Mullin.
Meeting while going to clubs in the early '90s, the
three made their own remixes of recordings, eventually
earning assignments from record companies to pursue
their hobby professionally. Finally, they were signed
to Distinct'ive Records and embarked on making an ambitious
first album, Wide Angle, in Moscow.
Hybrid used such talents as singer Julee Cruise and
the 90-piece Russian Federal Orchestra. "Finished
Symphony," which reached the U.K. singles charts
in July 1999, featured the orchestra. It was followed
into the charts in September by "If I Survive,"
featuring Cruise on vocals, and by Wide Angle itself.
Picked up for release in the U.S. by Kinetic (distributed
by Reprise, a division of major label Warner Records),
Wide Angle was reconfigured for its American appearance
in September 2000. The group then served as the opening
act on Moby's U.S. tour.
Remix and Additional Production By... has also been
a great success. The infamous Hybrid remix of Future
Sound of London - 'Papa New Gineau' is on there, delighting
fans, along with remixes of tunes such as Moby - 'Bodyrock'
and BT - 'Never Gonna Come Back Down'.
