新团体“ASM” (A state of Mind) 是个以HIPHOP/FUNK为主的小型欧盟团体， 团员组合FP the Funky Poet (MC)， Green-T (MC)， Fade (Producer)， Sativo (DJ) and Lando (Flute Player).
长笛？没错！这正在在全世界HIPHOP界起变化的一部份！长笛、黑管、萨克斯风等铜管或木管乐器的加入，使得HIPHOP更活泼与跳跃….这正是日本系所带至欧洲的旋风….
”ASM”的团员彼此是在德国的一间国际学校互相认识的，他们的名字除了是团员来自不同国家，另外也表示了他们的音乐思维，是广纳四海，而他们正以”原创与游走hiphop/funk边缘”的独特性表演正在欧洲以最快的速度窜起，而更被BBE厂牌的DJ VADIM视为欧洲的“leaders of the new school”
他们的表演器材相当简单， Fade (Producer) 是Beats Maker并担任团长， Sativ与 Lando则是操作最多机器如Akai MPC， Roland SP-404， MicroKorg Keyboard， Flute， Melodica， Korg Kaos Pad， Theremin (一种电子乐器)， Technics 唱盘 与Scratch 混音器(我想应该是ex那台…说那么清楚可能是在文章内顺便跟有兴趣booking的agent说明他们的器材很简单..我猜啦) ，另外FP the Funky Poet， Green-T则负责词与饶舌的部份，整体组合让他们在欧洲的hiphop界显得相当独特.
最近ASM与法国制作人Wax Tailor在他的新专辑《Hope & Sorrow》(销售超过40，000)合作一首单曲’Positively Inclined’，另外这只单曲的MV也被法国MTV台连续播放六周与攻占”Top 40 French national airplay charts” ，这对underground hiphop来说真是令人振奋的消息。
他们目前正与Dj Vadim (BBE Music)， Sadat X (Brand Nubian) Wax Tailor (decon)， Wildchild (stones throw)， Kid Kanevil (first word) ， Bonobo (Ninja tune)积极制作第二张专辑’Platypus Funk’相信他们与这些大名合作将会有更加辉煌的成绩！
成军两年以来他们已在德国、英国、法国、瑞士、荷兰、捷克、波兰、 立陶宛everywhere in EUROPE发扬他们的音乐，现在我们就来听听他们的实力吧！
ASM (A State of Mind) are an international Hip Hop collective who are rapidly making their mark on the scene through their &original and boundary-pushing& live shows, leading them to be recently deemed the &leaders of the new school& by Dj Vadim (BBE). The ASM live showcase is rooted in the unique on-stage beat production of Akai-wizard Fade, who gets busy with the MPC 1000, a Roland SP-404, Melodica, Korg Kaos Pad, Theremin, Technics Turntable and a Scratch mixer. The one-man ASM groove section is joined on stage by the mighty 6ix Toys horns (Marco Bernardis on Tenor Sax, Paul Berton on Trombone), creating a funktastic roots blend of organic neck-snapping goodness. This backdrop is the playing field where multi-national supermicrophonists FP the Funky Poet and Green-T get busy and experiment with rhyme-patterns and back and forth flows in ways that have seen them be compared to the likes of Jurassic 5, Edan, People Under The Stairs, and and A Tribe Called Quest. In the studio and occaisionally on stage, the ASM crew extends to include Sativo ..s & scratches and Nearski on graphic design.
