 In 1997 Rene set up the record shop Dezigner Soundz which quickly became a focal point for vinyl crazy Aarhus DJs. It quickly established itself and had DJ Static running the hip hop section whilst Rene took care of electronica and house music. Rene and Tom were introduced in 2011 and started to fire ideas across the North Sea.

Tom has been busy recording acoustic material for his 2 studio albums to date and wanted to work on more electronic based project. He has recently received airplay from Steve Lamacq, Don Letts and Rob Da Bank. Once the track was finished Tom and Rene met for the second time in Wales and have recently started recording an album together. The project has been shared with Alastair Lee a film maker, he was so impressed by the track he used it in his recent film Moonflower. He was then also generous enough to release footage from Alaska for the video which will accompany the release. There are also 2 luminaries of the music world Ashley Beedle (Afrikanz on Marz) and Sundogs (Tactical Hots Records) who have remixed the track for the 12-inch release. The track has also been played on Danish National Radio in recent weeks. An album will follow in the Autumn.

The Tea Street Band -Push The feeling On

Ring Ring Rouge are an alternative/indie band from Burnley, Lancashire and are signed to London based independent record label Jack to Phono Records.

Dr Feelgood, the second single to be released ahead of the Lancashire band’s debut album planned for this summer, shows off the band’s diverse talents exchanging the seaside charm and shimmering guitars of previous single Today for a swaggering back beat, apocalyptic sirens and acutely sinister guitars.

The track has been Ring Ring Rouge’s exhilarating set closer at live performances for some time and that sense of energy has been captured perfectly here in what is in essence two and half minutes of elating small town indie disco rave. The Track was mixed by Mark Freegard at Kyoti in Glasgow and Recorded in Berlin at Transmission Studios with Andy Jones. The band are due on a mini tour in March and have dates in Liverpool and Manchester confirmed. The band have been busy recording their debut album. They have received praise from NME, and BBC Introducing in recent months.

Ring Ring Rouge- Dr Feelgood

Archaic funk fables and soul migrations from this hybrid musical ensemble, who’s songs explode with heavyweight grooves, fervent vocals and rich instrumentation.Vocalists Julie Gordon and Damien Mahoney combine and take turns to tell bitter-sweet tales of the self, soul and society.

Soaking up inspiration from afrobeat to post-punk, Indian ragas through to reggae and acid house, Caulbearers’ music is full of dynamic, twisting structures and sonic invention:Mahoney’s tight, multi-layered productions combine hypnotic melodies, colossal basslines and battered jazz beats. This is roots music from the rainy city. Psychedelic soul with poetic, social observation.

This Manchester-based act were formed in 2007 from members of Single Cell Collective, a group of artists, musicians and activists collaborating on DIY releases and events.Though a core of the original players remain, Caulbearers attracts a fluid set of musicians from as wide a pool as the band’s influences. Collaborators from past and present have played with the likes of RSL, The Earlies, Cherry Ghost, Cinematic Orchestra, Happy Mondays, Go Go Penguin and Beats and Pieces Big Band.

This is Caulbearers’ first release on the Jack To Phono label, following the self- released 2011 EP, More Lie Deep.Hollow Bones showcases the raw, celebratory roots-funk of the band’s live gigs, where they have built a reputation for high octane, incendiary shows, with up to 10 members on stage.

A powerhouse of a vocal performance from Julie Gordon, expressing defiance and vulnerability in equal measure, slams out over a relentless groove of pulsing bass and four-to-the-floor drums.Add to this, Chic-style rhythm guitars, cellos that sweep and slice and a heavyweight horn section, which provides the song’s expansive hook.

Remixes of the single come via Monochrome’s epic film score version, the faster instrumental dub of Schwärmer and Barbatus’ deconstructed, percussion-heavy work out.
