Leeds based electronic artists??? Any ideas?

[MARKEG]

Well I have been asked to help someone with a list of Leeds based electronic artists. I obviously know a few from the hard techno side - Mike Humphries, Ignitian Techician but I need some more.

Can anyone help get this list rockin? Radio 1 are coming up from London on Friday and want to interview as many as possible for Mary Ann Hobb's show. Would be nice to get the right ppl on there plus a smidgin of techno hehehe ;)

[oldbugger]

the inspectors (dodgyedgy)

[echodek]

Make sure you speak to Ralph Lawson... 20:20 Soundsystem are a great live act

http://www.myspace.com/2020soundsystem

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah, maybe people who arnt Radio 1 endorsed anyway maybe? Lawson is a big enough name, they should take the opportunity to interview fresh new talent instead of someone who has been on their station/show numerous times before

get the Inspectors interviewed

[djfurness]

I wonder what Mary Anne Hobbs is coming up to Leeds for hahaha....
shes well off to The West Inidan Centre for SubDub again....hmmm....bringin Radio 1 up as well though....she might be recording Dmz etc....ooooooo nice

[RDR]

You'd better bloody interview phil walls mark

he's knocking about with Richard Wilko ATM.. doing a lot of production and has just had releases on primate... had em on tune inn

And while we are on the subject what about pedro delgardo... kid as well?

I can furnish their number if you need

but COME ON!!! PHIL WALLS!!!! i vote PHIL.. a nice lad, a production demon, quality sounds! he really desrves theb exposure.!

BTW - me...? bahaha.. itd be nice, but i aint laying money. hahaha!

[echodek]

yeah, maybe people who arnt Radio 1 endorsed anyway maybe? Lawson is a big enough name

he's doing good work and deserves a lot of credit, but you're dead right.

has anyone heard audiojack?

http://www.myspace.com/audiojackmusic

not sure how big they are, but i like their stuff... check their track erotic discourse. it's a filthy northern warehouse pounder.

[marginmaster]

the phil walls mix is outstanding.

[MARKEG]

[mikehumphries]

the divide, vonn trapp family, daz quayle on the electro tip

www.theinspectors.co.uk

sites AGES old and needs updating, the tunes on there are production, but i use ripped up versions in the live sets, also i dont really have a live set online as im in then process of working on it for wales on the 28th.

Jonnysideways! yes.. am loving.

Audiojack... indeed.. good call!

[RDR]

the divide! the divide! yes yes yes!

nick anarchy

mucky beats

pete fox

;)

[MARKEG]

hmmmmm... well i just tried to put forward a few of the harder techno artists and the response was 'have ya got anything more experimental or minimal??'. i sort of knew that might be the case here but it was worth a go. :lol:

is there any more for any more on the more minimal and experimental tip anyone knows of???

[MARKEG]

yeah i particualry think that audiojack link is the type of stuff they're looking for. but no doubt, if they're connected with ralph lawson, they've already had the exposure. eyes has a point about trying to present something different here i think.

[kai]

Stumped - was gonna suggest Johny Sideways and the Desert Storm lads Pseudonym and Dr Weevil but if they want more minimal stuff then kinda rules out the hardtek!

[RDR]

try missperception... more on the detroit tip, but shes got some real nice tunes and plays live too,...

ill do a bit of a live set tonight and post it up for thee.. it might be what they're looking for... not hardtek, funky, chunky (I hope :lol:)

chris.

Sorry I keep recommending 2020 Vision-related stuff... Ralph Lawson is the Kevin Bacon of the Leeds house scene - everything can be linked to him somehow! But have you come across a DJ called Simon Baker?

http://www.myspace.com/simonbakerinfantrecords

Infant Records is Simon's label (I wish it didn't have a link to Lawson, but it does)... it's quite trendy schminimal stuff (still quite soulful, mind) so might do well with R1 peeps.

And don't forget the Utah Saints!!

Yeah thats def where she's going - saw it reported in the Metro today.

Thinking of going down myself actually, but there's a free night of d n b, jungle, harsh electronica, electro and techno on down at My House on same night so in two minds.

[seamus]

this is a mate of mine in leeds:

nice guy too!

[ampassasinbirmingham]

I remember this thread from a while back. She blatantly played one of our tracks!

[Col]

Can't believe no one mentioned LFO.

I mean he's one of the biggest electronic artists in the world, never mind Leeds!

[Col]

Oh Yeah, and did i mention LFO, Plaid, and Chris Clark are playing in Leeds in October?

[ampassasinbirmingham]

That gig looks sick

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/maryannehobbs/

[Col]

And you all forgot to mention the 2nd biggest electronic act to come out of Leeds - Nightmares on Wax.

[Col]

There happens to be quite a lot of emerging hip-hop artists coming out of Leeds at the moment too. Obviously it all pails into insignificance now though.

Leeds seems to be getting lots of press on all music counts at the moment, and it's about Fuc*ing time. It's a City that has been living in the shadow of City's half it's size for too long.
