ourplace

8 min read

Since 1996 Ourplace remains solvent in the collapse of the music industry at large. We enjoy laughter, good times and the company of friends.
By the time we drop the next music, a significant share of you will have already stopped caring.

Ourplace is and always will be our “Go back to” born out of nessesity in 96’ to give people a complete understanding on how important independent DIY ownership is. This apply's to whatever we do in our lifes. We cant fade the norm. Besides releasing underground hiphop since the early ninetees N founded and operates several imprints, including Limited item lovers, Wowflutter and Younger at heart. A few years ago something extraordinary happened. As we got older I realised I always want to control and innovate the flight from the ground up, but never wanted to be a pilot and that seemed largely unchanged since the days of the Akai S1000, HotSyaoshs, Duvel, anxiety and beedies. That’s when it hit me. Ourplace wasn’t just our ourplace anymore. Ourplace is everybody’s place and belonges to the likeminded. Fortunately we tapped into the universal truths of lot’s who now do it themselves. Yes, we are fucked, we are flawed, we are both confused and cocksure, and we simultaneously want anarchy and order. WE ARE LUCKY! We grew up with absolutely no tools to navigate this harsh and crazy world and mostlikely, we’d burn down everything around us in an attempt to figure it out.

After a while we rose again to float on the surface like some very unsatisfactory resurrection for a very small hiphop Jesus. It was two days before anyone noticed us rotting on the surface, by which time our mid 90 Helly Hansen shine had dulled to grey, our ideas had become 2good2betrue and all signs of our small life had dispersed into the poisoned hiphop scene. The smell of the bleach was hardly noticeable now, the only odour dead b-boys. Of course no one noticed and no one cared, and that was only part of the problem with this particular no one.

After no one cried at our passing we were unceremoniously emptied into a different music scene, for real this time, but flushed away as if we had never existed. Just a small life, in a small world, doing big things to pass the time (Couchcareer), so small it shouldn’t have had any impact on anything at all. But sometimes it’s the nothings that start the ball rolling and before you know it there’s an avalanche on its way.

And so the death of us in 97 became the start of a big, big future. Of course not for inDepth, just for no one really.

 

BIOGRAPHY

inDepth is definitely an ever evolving hiphop group! Started out in the late 90’s by Syah and N(obody). N(obody) known for his work with his user-friendly experimental and controversial super group; N&Blatta. Syah you may know as one half of the 90’s classic and extremely gifted group; Sources of specialment.
Syah and N, teamed up to create music which could best be explained as hiphop.

Now here’s the tough part;
They attempt to create relevant social metaphorical and also psychological associations between natural language & communication and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the more abstract based theories. So whether it manifest itself in the form of rhymes, poetry, drums, choppin, sampling, sound, music, programming or a yet to be discovered medium, it’s all based on: hiphop, language, technology, culture, love and living life. Whether the meaning or the details of the music is initially evident to the listener does not concern InDepth. They try to create direct links from the dialogue in your ears through the visualisation in your mind.
Among the most experimental, and prolific, individuals to spawn from the old continent. InDepth gives the listener a separate file in this multi-styled hiphop culture.
