The Cosmic Lounge presents
Nu-Jazz Music: Les Gammas'
remix of 'Snowblind' by Minus
8.

'Minus 8 masters the whole
spectrum of Downbeat, Drum &
Bass and Nu-Jazz. There are
only a few internationally
known DJs, producers and
remixers from Switzerland.
Robert Jan Meyer, aka Minus 8,
is one of them. As a leading
man in this group, his name is
mentioned together with the
names of Alex Attias (aka
Beatless / Mustang / Catalyst
/ Bel Air Project) and the
Straight Ahead label posse.

Robert Jan Meyer is an
Architect and the brother of a
well-known Swiss rave
promoter. He started to make
music at the end of the 80's,
first as a bass-player in a
Funk-band, but soon his
fascination with
Midi-equipment led to
experiments with a keyboard
and sampler. At the beginning
of the 90's, Robert launched
his Minus 8 project as a slow
and peaceful answer to all the
Plus 8 (on a turntable) speed
madness that was prevalent in
club music at the time.

By 1993 he also started DJing,
playing mostly Acid-Jazz, Rare
Groove, Funk, and Hip-Hop.
Since then, Robert has
consistently supported Swiss
club culture with all his
talents. He's also toured as
support for big UK names like
Goldie, Grooverider, Hype,
Krust, Storm, Bad Company and
Adam F. And now he's in-demand
as a remixer. As all that
wasn't enough, he's also found
time to put together a great
series of compilations -
'Science Fiction Jazz'

The first ever Minus 8
release, 'The Sweetest
Sounds,' was the actually the
first release on DJ Cam's
Paris-based label Inflammable.
In 1997, Minus 8's first album
'Beyond,' followed (also on
Inflammable), and received
excellent reviews. 'Beyond'
was followed by a second
album, 'Beyond Beyond' for UK
label Higher Ground (part of
Sony UK). The English Trip-Hop
and Drum & Bass scenes
influenced both of these
albums.'
