Knifehandchop - Jasbof - Liverpool - October

[djfurness]

Knifehandchop is 21-year-old producer Billy Pollard from Toronto, Canada. He's been making music since the age of fifteen, when the arrival of a computer made the trials, tribulations and compromises of band life a thing of the past for him. Without looking back, Billy took to the computer and began crafting beats and sounds rooted in influences ranging from hip hop producers (like Timbaland, the Neptunes and RZA) and underground electronic producers (like Venetian Snares, kid606 and cylob) to hardcore producers (like Hellfish, DJ Traffik and DJ Radium) to a diverse record collection that includes industrial, metal, rap, techno and noise. The end result is an energetic, diverse sound that takes on many styles: jungle, techno, pop, dance, electro and more. Knifehandchop tracks drop hard beats on top of melodies, noise, and lots of choice samples of sometimes questionable legality. This is electronic music, pure and simple; done with lots of emotion, humor and energy.

Knifehandchop has had well-received releases on labels such as Irritant and Tigerbeat6. He does live shows regularly in Canada, the USA & Japan, where he plays his own music alongside live remixes of tracks made by others.
In 2003 he was invited by the legendary John Peel to do a session for his show on Radio One in the U.K, John calling him ''One of the most exciting & original producers around today''. This was also followed up with a session in 2004 for Mary Anne Hobbs and her 'Breezeblock' show on the same station.

Now travelling all over Europe on his 3rd tour in 2 years....Jasbof are VERY proud to present his first show in Liverpool in October.

More info soon.....
