Formed by JC (known also as Christoph De Babalon, he did releases for Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings, Fischkopf, FatCat, Zhark and Tigerbeat6. He runs Cross Fade Entertainment (CFET), a label that released n1tro, Zbigniew Karkowski, DJ Scud, Merzbow, I-f, Somatic Responses and Unit Moebius) and GC (graduated in jazzguitar at the Kunstuniversität in Graz/Austria in 1999, he was a student of Harry Pepl and Karl Ratzer. Since 1990 he hasparticipated in several bands, multimedia performance projects and releases including Austrian Audience V/A and 95h Farmers Manual) Ubergang is the representation of their own music vision: extreme, free from boundaries and energetic. The duo in their debut 12" E.P. released by Low Res present four tracks where gabber and grime are their basement where other style such as free jazz, industrial metal a la Godflesh or ambient experimentations find space. Each track has different and radical changes. Pick up the closing one "Fallout": it starts with an electronic ambient background, after 90" a grime/gabber rhythm is added and then at 3’43" the rhythm changes taking a linear form, a distorted guitar starts to play dissonant melodies and the synth turns into a bass line. You know that I like when bands blend different genres into a powerful mixture and Ubergang are good at it!
