Two in a room. Surrounded by buttons and cables, by guitars, synthesizers, microphones. Fat Jon and

Arne van Petegem (Styrofoam) have recorded The Same Channel during a few weeks. Through days and

nights, interrupted only by short coffee breaks and longer walks. In Arne's studio in Antwerp the two

docked their soundships: Fat Jon, the EmCee and DJ, Arne van Petegem, the guitarist and laptop-artist.

They share the passion for their machines' soul, the filing of their files of two artists who are

able to puzzle over two times for a whole night. All around the world. Cincinnati, Antwerp, Berlin.

The two got to know each other five years ago. In 2001 Arne van Petegem invited Fat Jon, still living

in Cincinnati/Ohio at that time, to a workshop in Antwerp. What followed this first encounter was

great respect for the music of the other and a deep, lasting friendship - as well as the idea of a

common album. The Same Channel has grown out of this. A musical encounter indeed, but far away from

crossover of the indieboy-meetshomeboy- cliches. This album drinks of a common cup, it thinks

musical schools, worlds and last but not least passions together: the onomatopoeic guitars of

Styrofoam, Fat Jon's repetitive idiom, his talent for laconic stories. The klicks' n' cuts, carefully

and detailed interwoven, and a production that - without laying it on thick - makes clear that two

well versed producers are at work. "Scream It Out" is a nimble, catchy track, enticing and tricky in

its alterations and modulations. "Space Ganster" is a creeping track, Dub, smoothly cruising. "Upgrade"

a nonchalant speechstaccato, surrounded by one of theses enticing refrains by Styrofoam. Fat Jon

moved from Cincinnati to Berlin because of love. He is still part of the Cincinnati-based,

Progressive-Hip-Hop-collective Five Deez that releases on the Berlin-based label K7!. Small

world, isn't it? Fat Jon released further the album Afterthought on Ample Soul/Libyus Music. Arne van

Petegem enlarged his indie-guitar background in the late 1990ies by means of a sampler and a Roland

Junosynthesizer - in order to lap about the joins of guitar-songwriting and Elektronika as Styrofoam.

Since these days he released four records on Morr Music.
