Jab & Samofant · Weekend

About

The Weekend EP is a collection of songs produced by Samofant in collaboration with DJ Jab in 2003. Back then, the tracks were pressed to Vinyl and sold in some record stores. Eventually the lead track, Weekend, found its way onto FM radio. It got airplay on the Soundfiles Hip Hop radio show with DJ Mad on NDR in Germany and on DJ Beware's Tribe Vibes radio show on Austrias ORF FM4 station.

After Samofant (Samuel Matheis) and I had listened to some of his sound sketches on cassette tapes, we decided to produce a record from some of them. The sketch for Weekend in particular was so melodious that it quickly became clear which direction the production would take. The lyrics were written as an accessory. We are not rappers. That is also why all instrumentals can be found on the record. The 12” Vinyl record (33 ⅓ RPM) was recorded and pressed in 2003 and released in January 2004. It was distributed by DJ Jab’s very own Jabz Records.
