Pick Of The Week #17: Chrisfader & Testa
The Tyrol is the heart of the Alps. Many who know the region can confirm its abundance of talent in alpine disciplines. However, it remains a mystery to skeptics how the urban street culture of Hip Hop fits into the snowy Tyrolean ‘Oberland’. That’s where Chrisfader and Testa come in.
Most of the time we select a track ourselves to feature on our ‘Pick Of The Week’. But this time we received some music in our inbox we like a lot. And if you ask us, it’s definitely “pick of the week worthy” material!
Info
The Tyrol is the heart of the Alps. Many who know the region can confirm its abundance of talent in alpine disciplines. However, it remains a mystery to skeptics how the urban street culture of Hip Hop fits into the snowy Tyrolean ‘Oberland’. That’s where Chrisfader and Testa come in.
‘Oberland’
The Austria-based turntablists both had success at several DJ competitions (overview here). After several mixes, collaborations and releases, Testa and Chrisfader hooked up for ‘Overland’, their official full length debut. It’s full of sick turntablism and productions. Curious to hear what the Tyrolean Turntablists have to offer? Then listen to this snippet mix of the album:
