Sounding more Detroit than Stockholm, Up Hygh, the new wonder-kid hip-hop/soul production duo, consisting of Pure-P and Rick Skizzo, are poised, at the ripe age of 19, to literally reinvent the "swedish sound", and put Scandinavia squarely on the map on par with uber-talented underground production teams like the Ummah, Sa-Ra Creative Partners, and Platinum Pied Pipers. Up Hygh’s unique sound is a pressure-cooked mixture of sexy deepspace funk, soulful R&B, and raw, dirty hip-hop. And that’s just scratching the surface. The buzz has already begun to spread with their hot promos getting regular spins by notable selectors like Gilles Peterson, Benji-B, Bobbito, Vadim, Jazzanova and Richy Pitch. With the release of their debut single "Love Dat / The Gift" in Mya of 2005, they have already delivered a challenge to up the ante. How hygh? Up up to the sky… Up Hygh’s highly anticipated debut album, Venus, features a stellar list of guests including Planet Asia, Little Brother, Eska, ADL, Bas-1, Aaron Phiri, Melo, Linn and Black Fist.
