Whilst knocking up a nasty remix for my friend Mindlobster a month or so back I decided I wasn’t content with my 10 or so aliases and bands I play with and invited Greg Lego from Coco Beware to come and lay down some jilted guitar. In an instant we were struck with what a flamboyantly dressed Sean Connery once described as the quickening and the world (or at least the 10 square feet of the world my studio occupies) hasn’t been the same since. Add to the equation our neanderthal friend Ray Rotello who’s been described in some circles as the homo genus of dick head disco drumming, and this trio of post punk disco dubsters is complete.
Check out the fruits of our recent Tuesday night sleep over where the the merits of sleep and general well being were in fact traded for last minute mixdowns so as to meet an early morning deadline. The Inconsolables “Hoverfly (Wrongtom’s Violent 80 Bastardization)” is up at The Violent 80 with the Mindlobster mix coming very soon. It’ll be out soon on Jealous Tony Records but feel free to listen now and add us if you’re that way inclined.
A new month brings with it a new podcast and this time it’s the Trick & Tom soundtrack extravaganza. If you missed it live on air last Friday you can grab it now “yust like that” as Charles Dance once said to Eddie Murphy.
The sad news is Rhythm Incursions will be parting company with Resonance FM but it looks like we may be going weekly with the Trick & Tom sessions if they can find a more convenient time slot to fit around Trick’s day job and my lust for scones.
I’m still flat out with remix upon remix, a plethora of mixtapes, the Rockers album and rehearsing to get Coco Beware out on stage but I still found time for a quick phone chat with Bev Sage from the Techno Twins earlier, leaving me just a little starstruck after she sang a few notes from Donald & Julie Go Boating. Who knows, maybe there’ll be some wrong renditions of Falling In love Again but more on that later.
You know how it goes, you’re sitting back with a cup of darjeeling, idly googling your name when suddenly you find a video made on a camera phone with one of your remixes on the soundtrack. At a guess this was shot by one of the Phantom guys at their Halloween gig last year though I’m not exactly sure and i still can’t confirm where you can buy a copy of the 7″ but it’s worth a look regardless.
In other news Kanetiquette’s been doing alright, it’s almost breached a thousand downloads in the 1st week but there’s got to be more JSK fans out there. I’m already on the case with the next mix which will be aired next month on The Hook Up show on Juice FM in Brighton and features almost an hour’s worth of all British punk-disco which hasn’t yet made it onto a Soul Jazz compilation. Production-wise I’m knocking up a remix for The Inconsolables forthcoming single “Hoverfly” with my new band (yes another one) The Violent 80, and it looks like I’m gonna be doing a spot of work with the mighty Trojan Soundsystem so more about that soon.
Here’s some free stuff for you all to enjoy, unless of course Depth Charge being messed up in a Cassetiquette style and 10 minutes of free-jazz doesn’t float your boat. To Find out more click here
The last installment of the Trick n Tom radio show is up and podcasted so here’s another link for anyone who missed our foray into math-metal, white calypso and Isreali folk-funk - get it from here and keep your ears open for the film/soundtrack special which we’ll be broadcasting live on Friday the 25th.
It’s late and I’m busy putting the finishing touches to a remix for my mate Mindlobster but there’s just enough time to let you know that you can listen online to the latest Trick & Tom session we recorded at Resonance FM last week, so click here for the New York special. Speaking of which there’s a blog up with a few snaps of my brief dig in the city which never sleeps, and if that’s still not enough for you, Mr Trick’s gone and found a slot in his schedule between buying vintage guitars and blagging sports casual wear for us to go straight back in and do another live session next Friday so tune in at the usual time on the same old wavelength.
In other news I’ve been on the blower this week with the guys at Pama Intl and aside confirming the release of my still in the works Rockers LP, I’ll be donning the lab coat for a Pama meets Wrongtom dub special so more news on that when it’s in the can. Plus if you haven’t seen it already there’s a mini mixtape of cold dumb club shit for free if you click here now.
