Théorème Panoramique IV is the result of many years of investigations and activism of the drummer
Philippe Garcia in the electro-instrumental fusion field (see Cosmik Connection, Cube... ).
Under the pseudonym KPT’N PLANET, he appears on the stage with drums, samplers, percussions, mics,
melodica and his now well known megaphone.
After a first 12 inch-vinyl through DTC Records, KPT’N PLANET offers us the fourth of his Théorèmes
panoramiques (the first three opus still unpublished at the present time...), a melodical journey into the
heart of the electro dub-drum’n’bass universe where music is at once sensual and soothing,
entertaining, tragical and frightening...
The MC JAMALSKI from New York appears on two titles Running Ragga and Peace.This album was
realized by Dominique Poutet a.k.a. Dume (Cosmik Connection, NHX, Cube...) for DTC Records.

KPT’N PLANET - BIOGRAPHY
Philippe Garcia a.k.a. « Pipon »
(Drums, Samples, Megaphone...)
Pipon lived 6 years in Turkey. Member of the Symphonical Orchestra of Istanbul, he
teached percussion at the Ankara academy and accompanied male and female popular
singers such as Sezen Aksu, Nilufère, Al pay...
Back in France, he played with Don Cherry and Barre Philips and accompanied Carolin
Carlson and Carine Wener on some of their choreographies.
In 1994 in Mâcon, he took part in the creation of the Collectif Mu with Gaël Horellou, as
well as in the foundation of a jazzclub: « Le Crescent » where he shared the stage with
Serge Lezarevitch, Steve Grossman, Ricardo del Fra, Peter King, Emmanuel
Borghi...
In 1997 he founded Cosmik Connection, an electro-drum’n’bass-jazz fusion project
joined by Jérémie Picard a.k.a. Jahbass and Gaël Horellou.
At the same time he collaborated to the album and tours of Erik Truffaz, Michel Benita,
Laurent de Wilde, among others...
As Cosmik Connection was a prize winner of numerous competitions* and recorded three
albums, Pipon developped a live under the pseudonym of KPT’N PLANET. Alone with his
drums, sampler, 4 mics, mixa, melodica and his now famous megaphone, letting his talent
blowing up he made us travel in his personal universe.
After a first furious 12 inches through DTC Records, he has just achieved his first solo
album while still activly collaborating to the projects of other artists (Erik Truffaz, Cube,
Gianmaria Testa, Laurence Olivier, Rita Marcotulli...).
« He amazes incessantly and enjoys himself to amaze. At the extremity of his megaphone
(...) he explores in turn electro, fable, drums and madness...
Ah ! Ah ! Ah ! Yes, really, Philippe Garcia is a funny chap ! »

MC JAMALSKI - BIOGRAPHY
(Toast – Spoken words)
As an activist MC of the New York scene, he asserts himself like an emblematic figure of the
ragga/hip hop current of Big Apple.
Jamalski was spotted by KRS One in New York and was quickly integrated within the mythical hiphop band Boogie Down Production who layed down in 1991 the bases of a sound melting ragga
with hip-hop and destined to reveal numerous followers.
Then Jamalski standed on one’s own two feet, in a perpetual quest of meetings. He appeared in
the early start of the jungle scene in San Francisco in 1994 but he played also in the heart of house
parties, frequented the Boy&Soul in New York, took off to pulverize the londonians sound-systems.
To get an idea of his eclecticism, let’s quote some of his contributions : Brand New Heavies, Deee
Lite, Fatboy Slim, Aphrodite, Bobby Konders or more recently Volta & FX909 and Interlope...
The chap has been living in Paris since several years, first attracted by the effervescence of the
drum’n’bass scene. He squated in parties, battled with Dee Nasty and Big Red and realized that
the french scene is not entirely dedicated to variety.
Jamalski prepares his next solo album, announced successor of the grandiose « Roughneck
Reality » (in 1993 through Columbia). His music is an old / new school cocktail, both furious and
angelic, punk and funky, ragga and soul, collective and personal...!
He takes part with his voice to the rhythmics of KPT’N PLANET on two titles of the album
« Théorème Panoramique IV ».

In 1998 Dume began to compose for videogames industry (Muséum d’Histoires Naturelles
