The Other Others is an experimental Deephouse Afro-futurism project by Dub poetry free spirit Jasmine Tutum and Jahtari founders disrupt and Rootah.
Jasmine was born in Tokyo, grew up in Jamaica, has African roots and now lives in Freiburg / Germany. She hosted radio shows there for many years, with a voice that can go from Grace Jones to a cosmic version of Paul St. Hilaire and lots of unique places inbetween.
Rootah was very active in the Leipzig Techno scene in the 1990s, but – after meeting disrupt at a custruction site day job – explored all things Dub and Bass as producer and DJ and performed many Jahtari live shows since 2004.
disrupt produced most of the Jahtari releases, played all over the world alongside many different artists and runs the little side label Zonedog, specializing in Sonic Fiction.

Cosmic Threat are bass clarinet black belt Volker Hemken (from Gewandhausorchester Leipzig), Kiki Hitomi (WaqWaq Kingdom, King Midas) and disrupt, who met for the Two Play To Play project – a collaboration between electronic and classically trained musicians here in Leipzig.
The goal was to develop tracks for an one hour piece, and then perform it live at the Gewandhaus concert hall. Improvising and jamming together over various sessions in an empty club due to lockdown, developing a collective feeling for moods and textures and growing song strucutures together turned out to be a spiritual journey.
The result is a one-of-a-kind Space Jazz Dub record, knitting those Cosmic Threads in real time…
