BIOGRAPHY
Both hailing from the same side of Stockholm, Sweden, the two reggae-fanatics Dj Niceness and Mastah L linked up during their high school years when they discovered their mutual love for Jamaican music. As teens they formed their first record label and soundsystem KBC Music during the late 90s. KBC arranged parties and produced riddims for local artists such as Flimpoman, Michael Knight, Famous and their childhood friend Million Stylez. Traveling to Jamaica numerous times during the first years of the new millennium they built up an impressive network and recorded with several of the biggest stars on the dancehall scene – Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Sizzla, Busy Signal and more. When they produced Million Stylez hit single ”Miss Fatty” a couple of years later they pulled off a quite spectacular stunt, making swedish dancehall a successful export.
Somewhere around 2006 the duo started to feel more and more disappointed with the direction that modern dancehall was going – the lyrics becoming more and more violent and the sound that they had fallen in love with a decade earlier becoming more lightweight and less well-produced. With one foot still in Jamaica the two friends discovered a new love in the electronic sounds of house, techno and electro.
In early 2008 the duo locked themselves in their studio and started digging through the extensive catalouge of recordings that KBC built up during the ten years that passed, giving them new life under the name Jamtech Foundation. In the world of Jamtech Foundation the musical borders become blurred when riddims and vocals from dancehall and reggae is grinded and mixed with electro, house and techno. Producing tracks at a pace that would make their jamaican friends proud Jamtech Foundation kept spitting out track after track after track, mainly via the popular mp3 blog Discobelle and other blogs like Diplo's Mad Decent and US blog The Fader. By the fall of 2008 they dropped their first mixtape. Roughly a year after their first mp3s surfaced on the internet Jamtech Foundation released their debut album ”V-Rocket” and now in April 2010 their 2nd album "The Creature From Jekyll Island" is released as a free download at www.jamtechfoundation.com.
