Sonic Fruits w/ Footshooter & Tim Garcia - September 2022

Andy Votel says "Exactly TWENTY FIVE years ago (when I was 20) I did a remix for the band Texas whose “Say What You Want” track was yet to be released. After the record had been cut I made the grave mistake of telling the major label that I had used samples from records by Elephants Memory, Dave Grusin, Don Ellis, Kraftwerk (1st LP), Fear Itself, Arc 2 and the unreleased soundtrack to Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders (off video tape) and needless to say, they panicked and shelved the whole project. Bizarrely the label even paid me to design and manufacture an obi-strip (based on Argento’s Deep Red) and it got a really nice review in The Face which lead to plenty of remix requests throughout the following years… even though very few people really got to hear the very limited white-label. A few years later (after the original song became a global hit) they re-did the song with Wu Tang Clan, sampling Leicester's very-own Engelbert Humperdinck. Original copies of my version are scarce but inexpensive, I’d love to find a copy with the artwork one day"

Doing Time with Guest David McFarline (Noncollective)

Behold Finders Keepers, a British record label, 40 years in the making, introducing fans of psychedelic, jazz, folk, funk, avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak to a lost world of undiscovered vinyl artifacts from the annals of alternative pop history.

Catering to record collectors and DJ-producers alike with a huge emphasis on sample friendly soundscapes, rocksteady back-beats and primitive electronic experimentalism. Discerning purveyors of the bizarre and abnormal should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts... presented on CD, 7" and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging.

Following in the very same footsteps as the mind boggling "Music To Watch	Girls Cry" and "Songs In The Key Of Death" mix CDs for Fat City Records and the original 5-star rated Finders Keepers compilation LP in 2001, Manc-based vinyl-vulture, recording artist and record producer Andy Votel enlists the skills of fellow B-Music DJ and Rare Disc Detective Doug Shipton to form a team of psychedelic librarians and cosmic-pop-quiz-elitists to run their new Twisted Nerve distant sister-label, leaving no progressive pebble unturned or record collection un-rifled.

Future compilations and re-issues will feature collaborative curators such as David Holmes, Cherrystones and Bob Stanley and further contributions from mystery A- / B+ pop-celebrity fanatics of outsider music and ultra-rare bakelite discs. Finders Keepers is an 'accidental world music label' with a punk aesthetic and DJ friendly ethos which allows the desperate listener to sit back while we deliver schizoid cultural channel-hopping compilations and rocking-horse-shit & hen's-teeth re-releases to the comfort of your psych-starved living room...
