HYPNOBEAT
About
Amazing Live Act with 6 Analog machines: 1x TR-707 + 3x TR-808 + 2x TB-303 + an array of effects.
Rooted in the concept of a "neo-tribal" approach; reducing electronics to the emotional, hypnotic rhythm core, James Dean Brown founded Hypnobeat in 1983. Affected by the energy and the emotional impact of polyrhythms, their live sets turned out to become machine improvisations centered around the inimitable sound of the Roland TR-808 plus a wide range of analog gear including up to six synchronized rhythm machines which incorporated three 808s. Additionally, the TB-303, which was going to epitomise the Acid movement later, provided a certain Proto-Acid flavour to their pioneering sound. Accordingly, it doesn't sound presumptuous to claim that Hypnobeat anticipated the mindset of contemporary club culture by featuring sophisticated prototype Techno and classic Electro rhythms from 1984 onwards.
In 2012 Hypnobeat retransformed from its successor Narcotic Syntax (Perlon) with an exclusive live solo performance of James Dean Brown in Paris. 2013 saw the exciting new evolution of Hypnobeat with Helena Hauff joining the project.
James Dean Brown and Helena Hauff played a stunning live world premiere at Serendip festival in Paris again on Oct 5th, 2013. Their 2nd, mind-blowing live performance at Berghain on Jan 30th at CTM festival "killed the 6.1 system" and left everyone in awe thanks to its powerful percussions, unbridled passion, ritual ecstasy, hypnodelic temptation, psycho-exotic magic, and a quantum of danger under a crypto-bohemian approach.

30 years ago, Peter Weiss's live drum machine project was pushing techno before there was such a thing. Now, with help from Helena Hauff, he's rebooted Hypnobeat for a new generation.
