Chris & Cosey, now per­form­ing as Carter Tutti, are a band formed in 1981, con­sist­ing of part­ners Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, both pre­vi­ously mem­bers of indus­trial music pio­neers Throb­bing Gris­tle. 
They also spawned the inde­pen­dent record label Cre­ative Tech­nol­ogy Insti­tute (aka CTI) to release more exper­i­men­tal works and col­lab­o­ra­tions. Cre­ative Tech­nol­ogy Insti­tute is a col­lab­o­ra­tive project fea­tur­ing Chris & Cosey and a selec­tion of exper­i­men­tal artists from the 1980s industrial/electronic under­ground. They indul­gently uti­lized elec­tron­ics, sam­pling, rhythms and Cosey’s dis­tinc­tive vocals, cor­net and gui­tar style.

HISTORY:
When Throbbing Gristle broke up in 1981, Carter and Tutti signed with Rough Trade Records and began recording as Chris & Cosey. They recorded four albums for the label using electronics, sampling, Cosey's vocals and cornet playing. In 1983, they formed their own independent record label Creative Technology Institute (aka CTI) to release more experimental works and collaborations. The first CTI projects, Elemental 7 and European Rendezvous, were released through Cabaret Voltaire's DoubleVision label.

In 1983, they formed their own independent record label Creative Technology Institute (aka CTI) to release more experimental works and collaborations. The first CTI projects, Elemental 7 and European Rendezvous, were released through Cabaret Voltaire's DoubleVision label.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the duo worked with a number of independent labels such as Nettwerk (Canada), Play It Again Sam (Belgium), Staalplaat (Netherlands), and Wax Trax! (USA), and World Serpent Distribution (UK). In 1992, for artistic and health reasons, the duo stopped touring and concentrated on studio work. They returned to performing live in 1998, documented on the Union album.

Since the couple began collaborating, Carter and Tutti have worked with a variety of similarly respected and recognized avant-garde artists including, Monte Cazazza, Coil, Current 93, John Duncan, Erasure, Eurythmics, Boyd Rice, and Robert Wyatt. The 1988 album Core is a collection of these collaborations.

Carter and Tutti's tracks have been remixed by world renowned DJs including, Carl Craig, Cosmic Connection, Fred Giannelli, Daniel Miller, U -Ziq, Vapourspace and Andrew Weatherall.

Carter and Tutti have released two ongoing CD series of instrumental music: The Library Of Sound (L.O.S.) and Electronic Ambient Remixes (E.A.R.), currently with four volumes each. The E.A.R. series are remixes of material released solo by Carter or Tutti. Tracks from both these instrumental series have been used internationally in gallery installations, performed at numerous electronic music festivals, utilized on TV and radio broadcasts and within Hollywood movie trailers.

To greet the 21st century, Chris & Cosey became Carter Tutti, celebrating the rebirth with a series of concerts which were documented on the live album LEM Festival October 2003. The rebirth was completed by the release of the studio album Cabal later that year. Both also appeared as guests on the 2006 Current 93 album Black Ships Ate the Sky.

Carter and Tutti re-engaged with Throbbing Gristle, which reformed with all four original members for a December 2004 All Tomorrow's Parties festival appearance, and recorded several new studio albums over the following years - TG Now (2004) and Part Two (2007). They also performed a short series of concerts in Europe and the United States in 2009, with a rare tour-only release album, The Third Mind Movements. (Ostensibly, the few remaining copies were sold via mail-order through the Throbbing Gristle website upon completion of the tour).

In October 2010 Throbbing Gristle began a European tour; however, several days following the band's first tour date at the Hackney Dissenting Academy, London, Throbbing Gristle's website announced that Genesis P-Orridge was no longer willing to perform with the band, and would return to his home in New York. Chris, Cosey and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson finished the tour without P-Orridge, performing under the name X-TG.

Carter and Tutti performed with Nik Colk Void of Factory Floor at Mute's Short Circuit Festival in May 2011. A live album of the show, with an additional studio track, was released as Transverse in 2012, under the name Carter Tutti Void.

Cris Cosey - Felt

This is my DJ mix from the Daphni 'JIAOLONG' album release party at the Bussey Building in Peckham, London, UK.

It was recorded live and performed with 3 Pioneer CDJ 2000s playing digital files, an E&S DJR400 mixer and a Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal.

All 7.5 hours are here - warts and all. Apologies for the occasionally crunchy sound quality and periodic lapses in mixing. It's only split into two parts because it was too long to upload as one file.

It was a fantastic night - thank you to all of you who were there and to Huntleys & Palmers for putting the night on. But as many of you were unable to attend for geographic and other reasons, I wanted to share it with you this way.

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks,
Dan

The Field - Over The Ice

Disco Modernism records is proud to announce the return to action of now legendary Italo producers Francesco Rago and Gigi Farina, who released during the first part of the 80's several cult disco records under different alias as Atelier Folie, 'Lectric Workers, Expansives, Message From The Future, Wanexa and Decadance. Now, after 30 years since the original release, On And On (Fears Keep On) is been re-produced by the Italoconnection team in collaboration with Rago and Farina with the addition of female vocalist Vik. The result is a completely new refreshed version but still true to the moody and unique dark spirit of the original.
To enrich the packaging there are 3 essential remixes created by the great and respected danish dj-producer Flemming Dalum, by the very talented italian producer Sandro Codazzi and by underground cult dj's Leo Mas and Fabrice. The release is strictly limited to 300 double vinyl copies, the digital release will include the additional Italoconnection instrumental mix.

Dungeonesse - "Private Party" (Official Audio)

The Frozen Autumn - Wintertag

Out now! This is track 1 of 4 and it's a two-parter. In fact, it even looks like two separate tracks on the vinyl, with a nifty cut defining the transition so you can visualise things clearly, but with no audible pause - great for dropping the needle straight onto part two when needed. 

Starting off as a spacey, downtempo delight, only to completely shift gears one third of the way in. Surprise!

Casbah 73 - If You're Leaving Part 1 & 2 (Lovemonk Records 12" LMNKV 92)

Static - Sometimes I'm Sad For A Few Seconds (E.lectronic T.A. Remix)

Words By Alexis Petridis

"I'm just trying to get through as many songs as possible," explained Nile Rodgers. The audience could perhaps have worked this out without his help: there's something joyfully relentless about the the latter-day Chic Organisation's approach to live performance. Everybody Dance, Dance Dance Dance, I'm Coming Out, Upside Down, He's The Greatest Dancer and We Are Family: that's not the edited highlights, that's the opening salvo of songs. If the aim is to make you boggle at the sheer quantity of massive hits Rodgers has authored, it works. Even when he pulls out a relatively unknown number - Soup For One, from a 1982 film soundtrack – it turns into a cover of a hit that sampled it, Lady by Modjo. Perhaps understandably, an atmosphere of mild delirium seems to settle on the audience, many of whom seem extremely well-refreshed indeed: when Chic perform Let's Dance, which Rodgers co-wrote with David Bowie, their singing momentarily threatens to drown out the band entirely. After the set's close – a mammoth version of Good Times interpolated with sections of The Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight, with dozens of audience members dancing onstage – the band leave. Rodgers remains, while the PA blares out Daft Punk's Get Lucky. The crowd stay too, bellowing the song back at him. He looks genuinely moved..
