A non political-Party loving-Sound crushing-Sex Drinking-Stereo operation Sabotage Soundsystem is a two-man machine made up of Big Island surfers and Pepper band members, Remy “Dub” DeRochemont and Kaleo Wassman. Hailing from the West Side, the two began making music together casually in 1999, and in the years since have developed a professional working relationship that allows each to flourish in the freedom of thoroughly knowing the other. The result: an operation broad enough to crush the biggest sound, and a tight-knit unit that can hold it down. “What I love about Dub is that he encourages frequent surf breaks during recording sessions,” says Wassman. “If something wasn’t clicking or didn't feel right we would just bail and go surf. Clear the mind, then come back and hit it again fresh,” adds DeRochemont. It is a key partnership… those familiar with the pair’s previous musical endeavors will immediately recognize the hallmark respect for each other and give-and-take in their sound. The new venture for the duo culminates in music that has a decidedly laid-back rural island feel, while at the same time it is clear the two come into their own with influences and experiences that come from worldly travels, international exposure, and a long life on the road. As the title, The Boto Machine Gun implies, the new album is all at once dirty, sexy, and lethal. A guerrilla style recording, this weapon was built in people’s houses and garages on both sides of the sea, from Hawaii
