Drome is the earlier, more techno and dub-infused pseudonym of Nonplace Urban Field/Some More Crime member Bernd Friedmann. With his first base singles and a full-length appearance on the Toxiktrakks label and more recent material released through Wigwam and Ninja Tune, Friedmann's key signature restlessness with respectfulness to convention is clearly nascent in his Drome work, most obviously in his bent for left combinations. Although Friedmann's releases as Drome have cut in recent geezerhood, the make is widely regarded in association with the development of downtempo breakbeat and trip-hop, with a sample-heavy ambient and dub-influenced take on hip-hop-styled beats and a clear, atmospherical nod to habitation listening over the dancefloor. A native of Berlin, Friedmann's commitment to accelerated mutation as well earned him a spot on the Ntone taster, Earthrise (a two-disc fix released by the American Instinct label in 1995), as well as a touring partner in Uwe Schmidt, aka Atom Heart, world Health Organization accompanied Friedmann on a series of live dates in Australia and Japan toward the goal of '96. Friedmann's Nonplace Urban Field material has occupied the bulk of his time of late, with releases such as Raum Fur Notizen and Fortunate Star, as well as remixes for Unitone Hi-Fi, Bowery Electric, and Hab pickings Drome's genre-obliterating aesthetic deeper still into the forests of generalisation.
