We at Our Label\u00a0always had a soft spot for Hamburg\u2019s Diazpora<\/a>\u00a0 and you can imagine the fun we had, when we joined forces to release the Gu-produced, now sold-out \u201eRaw Meat \/ Song 2<\/a>\u201c Funk 45.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And it was only a question of time, before their guitarist Legbo would come to us to introduce his \u201eother\u201c band Uebertribe<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This three-piece funk-afro-jazz-rock-groove group was just in its forming days when he first contacted us about with a first demo. It was recorded on a cell-phone, but already gave away what they were up to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few months past, demo versions in a higher quality came along, and Legbo started to push the issue of possibly releasing a 7\u201c record by Uebertribe\u00a0on Our Label. And once we had two tracks that both parties felt would make a good 45, things went pretty fast, … so fast that we didn\u2019t even get to release the planned and due OUR45-011 inbetween. People keep asking about the gap between OUR45-010 – THE OUT OF TOWNERS \u201eMalton Boys Club\u201c<\/a> and the next release being OUR45-012 Uebertribe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, Number 11 is not lost, it\u2019s just postponed. Uebertribe plainly overtook it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Legbo<\/a><\/p>\n

The uptempo tune and DJ-favourite \u201eGame Over<\/a>\u201c and the strolling groove of \u201eThe Thief<\/a>\u201c were recorded, mixed and mastered in a heartbeat and came just in time for the official celebration of Our 10 year anniversary at the Mojo Jazz Cafe<\/a>, Hamburg, which, of course, featured a live-performance by Uebertribe.<\/span><\/p>\n

All those who attended, will remember Legbo announcing \u201eGame Over\u201c with the comment, that \u201eOur Label felt the song was too short.\u201c And then they played it twice in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s true, I wanted a part added, but after all and with the finished 7\u201c vinyl spinning on my turntable again and again, I feel it came out perfect. A great crowdpleaser it is. Have a taste below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
