Ah. The Filterbrats.

What happens when you take a Black Metal drummer and songwriter and a Minimal Techno Music Engineer – A Filtered French Disco Duo. Of course!

I originally met Clayon many, many years ago playing at the Papakura sound bowl. He was playing with the band, I was the in-between-bands-DJ. By memory, the set I played involved a lot of Orbital and borderline Ambient. He was playing hard metal.

We kicked it off, started hanging, started mixing tunes (we have a mutual love of The Prodigy) together and eventually started writing tunes together.


We often found ourselves playing the ‘B’ room of Hard House gigs (the style Clayton initially mainly DJed. Our sets were a mix of tunes heavily influenced by the Daft Punk / Crydamoure / Le Knights style from France. Though – I think half the fun was just keeping each other on their toes by dropping in something unexpected (at least, that was generally my plan – I was playing for Clayton more than the crowd).

There is a couple of albums worth of material online – you can still purchase it via Beatport and other sources – and we licenced some tunes for inclusion on a Game – which resulted in a humourous interaction between Clayton and a ripped tune uploader on Youtube.

The mix though is a combination of our songs and others.

Boom Tish. It's the sound of a kick, a snare, and a punchline.

Let's be perfectly honest. There is no grand mission statement here. There is no A&R department in a sleek office discovering the next big thing. The business plan was likely scribbled on a napkin and is probably now coffee-stained and lost.

Boom Tish exists because music exists, and it has to go somewhere. Think of us less as a record label and more as a slightly disorganised digital filing cabinet for sounds we think are worth hearing.

The 'Boom' is the serious part: the 4/4 thump, the deep sub-bass, the carefully constructed groove that we genuinely believe in.

The 'Tish' is the punchline: the self-aware acknowledgement that we're a tiny blip in a vast ocean of noise, doing this for the love of it and not much else.

We release music that's serious about the groove, but doesn't take itself too seriously. That's the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

Boom Tish. The joke is, we're not joking. Mostly.

Boom Tish
