After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
 
With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.
 
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 – re-recruiting Lu Edmonds and Bruce Smith from the 1980’s line-up together with new recruit Scott Firth – touring extensively and releasing two critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The World Needs Now…’ in 2015.
 
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL. They are the longest stable line-up in the band’s history and continue to challenge and thrive.
 
2023 promises to be an exciting year for PiL…

Grant Dell 


With over 60 releases, you may know him as Uhuru Beats, Croydon Punks Ltd, Masonic Noodles, or the Chicago Transit Authority. Grant’s first release as Tribalation - EP1 on Loaded records got licensed to Strictly Rhythm; the rest is dance music history. 

The son of a jazz musician, Grant’s teen years rebelled to the raw aesthetic of punk, but his tastes quickly warmed to the rolling basslines of dancehall and dub reggae. South London soundclashes cemented his love of gritty low-slung frequencies. And then acid house. Down Clink Street, deep underground to Heart and Soul and onto to countless warehouse parties, Grant took his innate appreciation of dancefloor dynamics behind the decks. 

Grant’s shared love of the best of Chicago house and Detroit techno started morphing into a sound in the early days that could only be detected in the mix. He’s now widely regarded as a EARLY Tech-House pioneer, but his influences span a far broader spectrum – Early disco to post punk - Barrington Levy to Basic Channel with a splash of soul and that inimitable swing.

In 1996, after securing a one-year residency at the Underground Cafe in Sydney, Australia, and a one-year residency at the Red Zone in Auckland New Zealand, Grant embarked on the first ever tech-house world tour alongside fellow pioneers Terry Francis, Mr. C and Colin Dale.

In 2001 Tribalation were voted one of DJ Magazine’s Best Newcomers. A succession of solo releases followed on key US labels; Tango, Plastic City, Detour, Nightshift, Big Chief, Stupendous, Headtunes, Worship, Leaf and Utensil Recordings and Visitor. Grant was soon spending most of his time stateside collaborating with the likes of Tony Hewitt, Jay Tripwire, Tyler Stadius and Adam Collins. 

With his tracks finding their way onto mix compilations by Fabric, Renaissance, Tyrant , Nu Breed Global Underground ,Turbo Recordings, La Terrazza and DC-10 in Ibiza, Grant was soon spinning his wares everywhere from Canada to Costa Rica and Brazil to Buenos Aires. In the UK, his remixes for Stereo Mc's, Hooj Choons and releases on Bosh, Tag, Evasive and Rescue Recordings have extended and enhanced his reputation.

He’s rocked the glitterati at Pacha in Argentina and the Rex in Paris, but he’s in his element at underground house temples like Wiggle and Kerfuffle.

Formed in 2006 by singer/composer Simon York, Luxury Stranger is a progressive rock / post-punk inspired band... 

The band is currently working on a new record - Above and Below - the follow up to the "masterpiece" album Darkness Falls Upon The Light which is still available on Bandcamp! In the meantime, Simon is in full-on writing mode and has started writing for the tenth LS album...
