MYSTIC HERBALISTPRESS KIT

MYSTIC HERBALISTMore than one year after therelease of their last album, GanjaWhite night is now announcingtheir new album will be out onJanuary 14th.For the new album, Ganja WhiteNight has completely revisited theircomposition and inspirations.The band, now consisting ofBambY and Evasive Mumbling(R-One), has developped newmethods, worked differently todevelop an album that is morefocused on their mutual inspirations."Mystic Herbalist" is, from their point of view, more of a "back to the sources"album rather than a complete different style of music : closer to the Ganja’sroots. This album is very important to the too musicians who see in it their truemusical identity : kind of a rant about what dubstep became or rather howpeople see it.This album includes, as usually, many inspirations from tribal songs and ethnicinstruments, still including a great concern with harmony of music of course.Anyway, it's still dubstep and omnipresent massive wobble bass and variouspercussions’ notions remains the genre’s bases. The introduction as well asthe last track of their album is experience from the Hip Hop scene, thanks totheir work with Simon Danhier (Belgian author and singer) on Brains Escape.A music video has also been created especially for that song, entirely self-producedand available of the Official Youtube channel of the band (GanjaWhite-NightTV).This album is also a challenge for the two members of the group to prove theirskills without the third one. Conscious of having grew in maturity thanks totheir experience, this album is a step towards real professional way.

For the graphic side, these releases are definitely the first of a long serie ofcollaborations with the illustrator Monsta. Through its very characteristicstyle, it was able to give Ganja White Night a visual identity which, until now,could be described as elusive.IDENTITYGanja White Night differs on several points.First, in their technique and philosophy of composition in wich the harmonypredominates and the atmosphere is important. A track is never made imaginingits effectiveness on the dancefloor, but in order to offer a different andunique travel to each title for the listener and to involve him into theiruniverse.Then, in the way they work with different styles of music, mixing them andcreating something new without it being a complete stereotype.On each listening, according to the listening mode used, the auditor maydiscover details never heard before.Ganja White Night in the dark with headphones, on a big sound system in aparty or for the background music, will every time be a much different way tofeel their music. But the best way to understand their music is, according tothem, by listening with good headphones, in a quiet place and of couse withhard bass.

BIOGRAPHYInfluenced by various genres such as hip-hop, breakz or drum & bass, BenjaminBayeul aka Bamby, Erwan Charlie Dodson aka Evasive Mumbling andFrançois Volral aka LeBelgElectrod founded Ganja White Night.At that time, they were three students in electro-acoustique with AnnetteVande Gorne at the Conservatory of Mons, they engaged in a live Dubstepproject, a style that could still be qualified of emergent. Learning concretemusic and sound design gave Ganja White Night an authentic identity.For their live acts, the band decided to builda set up that allows them to be as muchcreative than effective. They were combiningmachines, computers, midi keyboards,controllers and other effects processors.More recently, the iPad was added to theirhuge set up.In front of a more and more frequentdemand of dj sets, they started to learn tomix. The organizers could not always provideenough space for the live performancebut were happy to be able to book GWN in areduced formula. This is also why they wereable to export more easily.After 3 succesfull EP's rather well underway, the trio finally released his firstalbum which has, as traditionnaly, the same name as the group. It wasreleased on February 2010 on under their own label "SubCarbon" created forthe occasion. This first album was in fact more a compilation of their firstsingles and some new tracks but allow them to turn the corner of the firstofficial release.After this release, they toured several times in England and had other datesacross Europe, but the U.S. sales were the most important, especially withthe tracks Blueberry and Peace By Fear.After a long period of work in their home studio, Ganja White Night cameback in september 2011 with Buddha, a superb EP clearly more dub andreggae hosted by Simon Danhier.

One month later, they released "In The Garden", a long-awaited album. Thiswas they first complete work, a set of tracks at once thought to fit togetherand based on many various genres. The album included many collaborationswith other artists from Belgium and abroad as BunZero (BE), McXander (UK), Don Fiasko (BE), Orbatak (CAN) Shekel (ISL), Glÿph (BE) andSimon Danhier (BE).In order to announce the release of their album, they created a home-madeteaser where you can see the three member gardening on a heavy dubstepbeat. That teaser had its own success on the web.In January 2012, LebelgElectrod who took slowly different direction, finallydecided to leave the band. You can still continue to follow his work becauseLebelgelectrod continues his solo project as well in live as in production.
