Ceschi Interview on Substance-M.net
Almost a year ago, Ceschi was interviewed in Berlin by German journalist Bianca Ludewig while he was on tour in Europe. The interview is now published in French and Englisch on the website Substance-M. It is still very interesting to read and features a lot of background information about Ceschi, his own label Fake Four, and his collaboration with DJ Scientist.

The Boston Phoenix called it “a triumph of triumphs” and states that it is “as inventive as any Rawkus jewel, and much kinder to the ear than the labyrinthine babbling that followed at Def Jux.” Read the whole review right here:

Selected Quotes & Feedback:
“Some of the best examples of alternative hip hop in recent years.”
Stereokill.net (4.5 of 5)
“The One Man Band Broke Up is one of the best conceptual hip hop records to drop in the past decade.”
URB Magazine
“A significant piece of art”
Okayplayer Magazine (89 of 100)
“Ceschi is a supremely talented MC who clearly has his finger on a fresh, new pulse of alternative hip-hop.”
ESM 8/10
“Ceschi’s new album is going to blow people away… it’s a refreshing hip-hop album with all the prog elements you’d expect from a meticulous vinyl collecting German (DJ Scientist) and some of the best hip-hop song writing i’ve heard in ages.”
Sole / soleone.org
“The Ceschi album is AMAZING. Holy shit!”
Buddy Peace / Strange Famous Records
“One of my favourite hip hop albums of recent times”
Laurent Fintoni / Rhythm Incursions / Spin Science
GERMANY
“Stilsicher und eindrucksvoll bewegen sich hier zwei Künstler gemeinsam durch kreative Weiten jenseits jeglicher Form von Einheitsbrei.”
Juice Magazine
“Wichtiges Album voller blutspuckender lyrischer Offenheit und erschreckend mutiger Nacktheit mit einer erfreulich mittelfingerreckenden stilistischen Geradlinigkeit”
Der Digitale Flaneur
„Das was Damon Albarn mit dem letzten Gorillaz Album vorhatte, schütten Ceschi und DJ Scientist mal eben auf den Independent-Markt.“
Raplounge.de
„HipHop trifft Folk, unglaubliche Double-Time Raps treffen Psychedelic-Prog-Rock Melodien. Man kann hören, dass Ceschi und DJ Scientist sich musikalisch blind verstehen.“
DougEgen Blog
„Was da aus den 70ern gesamplet und mit allerlei Instrumenten angereichert wird, ist dermaßen aus einem Guss, musikalisch, treibend, bremsend, abwechslungsreich und fein, dass man sich verwundert die Ohren reibt, wer eigentlich in Deutschland als guter Beatproduzent gilt… eines der besten Alben dieses Jahr.“

Ceschi Album praised by URB Magazine
URB reviewed Ceschi’s DJ Scientist produced The One Man Band Broke Up and gave it 4/5!
From the sound of the review, however, it seems that they enjoyed the album more than just that. They believe that The One Man Band Broke Up is “one of the best conceptual hip hop records to drop in the past decade.” And go on to say, “In an industry flooded with artists deluded into seeing themselves as jacks-of-all-trades, Ceschi is the real deal.”
Those are some pretty bold statements. Click here to read the review!
