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 ;)
the inspectors (dodgyedgy)
Make sure you speak to Ralph Lawson... 20:20 Soundsystem are a great live act
http://www.myspace.com/2020soundsystem
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
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
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!
he's doing good work and deserves a lot of credit, but you're dead right.Quote:

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???
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.
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!
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?Quote:

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!!

my mate chris
hes a wicked producer - couldnt get any more techno if you tried hehehe
enjoying that a lot... sounds a bit like Jackson & His Computer Band, only more fluid. Minimal, experimental, and he's not (we hope) a mate of Ralph Lawson!Quote:

The Divide is The Shit. ;D
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.
this is a mate of mine in leeds:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endID=82868261
nice guy too!
I remember this thread from a while back. She blatantly played one of our tracks!
Can't believe no one mentioned LFO.
I mean he's one of the biggest electronic artists in the world, never mind Leeds!
Oh Yeah, and did i mention LFO, Plaid, and Chris Clark are playing in Leeds in October?
That gig looks sick
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/maryannehobbs/
And you all forgot to mention the 2nd biggest electronic act to come out of Leeds - Nightmares on Wax.
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.
