Country Willis is a musical collaboration between two 
massive losers,  myself Brutal Willis and Liquid Country 
(Daniel Pickering) or better known as Chesney 
Hawkes. 

Every ten years or so we get together make some tracks,  get baked 
out of our brains, forget about them, listen to them a couple of 
years later and say “hey what’s this,  it’s got a good beat”


We made this track about a year ago,  Hans Gruber hear’s the track,  
loves it, wants to make a video to accompany said track

So here we go. 

You can watch the video here…….

In Deepest BN1 Volume 1 2007

The sound of Breakbeat has always been very close to my heart as this collection demonstrates.  This is a unique mix ive been meaning to put together for some time.  It's an opportunity for me to highlight some of my favourite tracks of this wonderfull genre and with the help of Brutal Willis we have managed to squeeze 40 tracks into this 2 hr vinyl pilgrimage into what is essentially the sample of a syncopated drum beat.

Some of these tracks are over 20 years old and whilst some of it may seem pretty fast,  this is how it rolled.

Joe and Mj - "Donkey Work"  2002 

This was my first studio session recorded with the great Michael Jackman before he died of cancer a year later….. 

I met Mike (part of the infamous "Ken's World") through our mutual friend Gahn aka Steve Cowling and immediately took a shine to him for his warmth, kindness and generosity amongst many other great attributes. 

This was made at the Tech- House in Farnborough,  working that MPC to the bone.

Joe and MJ - "Donkey Work" - 2002

Country Willis - Carnival Breeze  2005 (approx) 

Liquid Country / Brutal Willis 

Take 2 losers enough Marijuana to sink a battle ship, a beautiful house 
in heart of the true underground (Camberley) and this is what you get…. 

Taken from our debut album “The Forestry Decisions” this was one of my favourites. 

Recorded at High Point, Camberley

Country Willis - "Carnival Breeze" - 2005

Box Frequency -  Minimalle  (Brutal Willis Remix) - 2007

A project and online radio platform from Alex Martin and Daniel Pickering, 
I loved this tune and Dan Kindly send me parts to get busy on. 
I added some self raising flour, a little bit of pomegranate molasses and the results were good. 

Recorded at the lodge Brighton

Box Frequency - "Minimalle" (Brutal Willis Remix) - 2007

Most of my old mixtapes featured the word "deep" in the title so I thought it was about time we dug up that wonderful word again.   A word that's easy to lay down that can mean so much.  I made volume 1 of this a couple of years after I moved to Brighton 15 years ago, so here we go again. :)  

Mixed with real records,  2 x vintage pottery wheels, an unused foot spa and an electric bread knife.  Enjoy.

In Deepest BN1 Volume 2 - Aug 19

Sorry about the title ! I was young and stupid (nothing has changed) I would like to be able to say that I had some involvement with the development of modern Electro however that would be a lie.  I can however confirm that I came up with the modern cockney rhyming slang for Electro !

"Cod Roe" was born in one of the original hubs for underground music culture, Farnborough, Hampshire in late 2003 and quickly became a global phenomenon mainly between me and my two housemates ! 

A lot of these tracks still sounding great.........

Enjoy the beats.......... Brutal Willis Nov 19.

Elect Joe Vol 2

"Elect Joe" An Electro Journey (2004)

This was the first and quite possibly the best track I was invlolved with the late, great Mikey J. This has never seen the light of day, the Internet or even a plant based diet :)

Soon after it was finished I gave Mike's Mum Irene a copy.... She hammered the dubplate from Ragamuffins to Pantiles to Farnborough rec and also made an appearance on the platters of a Phyliss Tuckwell coffee morning :)

Enjoy..

Free DL for those who drink from the digital cup.....

Lyddmix - Aug 2010 

I made this mix in 2010 for Lyddstock,  the charity wake boarding festival in Lydd, Kent run by Rawdy De Fresnes,  Pete Kenyon with the help and support of many others……. 


Me old mucka Persephone Deacon aka Miss DJj Sauce recently asked me if I could dig this mix up from the dead,…. so here it is.  Like a lot of old mixes I really don’t remember making this but it has some killer cuts on it, still holds up well and a lot of these got laid down over that wonderful weekend. 

We had a sound system that would not have been out of place in a football stadium let alone next to a gentle lake at the Action Water sports Centre ! We heard the rumours that they were feeling the beats in Calais…… 

A great weekend and some wonderful memories….

Photo - Me playing on the Saturday night with my beloved Lord Anthony body warmer,  my manager Dominic Shanks,  Head of Security Neil Ingham (DJ ING) laying down an exclusive DJ Rolando edit of “Come On Eileen” which I believe has still not seen the light of day yet ……  -  Appy fckin daze !

Lyddmix - Aug 2010

I wanted to make a mix that focused on the theory of feeling good and this tried and tested selection of cuts from the vault have a history of holding the groove and making me and many others feel good.

All Day Rave - Live In The Mix  - 14/11/2020

I have been trying to attempt the perfect transition between 2 records for over 25 years and
one day I hopefully will get there but until then,  welcome to my Boucherie where we specialise in the exclusive currency of Global Electronic Soul. 

I managed Vinyl Frontier Records in Woking, Surrey for the best part of a decade living, breathing
and generally loving repetitive beats.  I have been fortunate enough to grace the platters at lots of different clubs,  events and festivals up and down the country and Europe.  I co ran the legendary night "Shuffle" (which may come back one day).  I won the coveted "bedroom bedlam" mixtape award for Muzik magazine, residencies at the Cross, The Pool , Piranah's and 333 in London and was awarded the Percy Thrower Lifetime achievement award for services to the green plant.  I have played at Glastonbury, The Big Chill, Kimberley amongst others and more recenly a regular fixture at the Give ! festival for House of Honey.   These day's I can be found deep in stock pots working culinary magic for all kinds of people,  however you may still catch me behind the platters (that matter) as much as I can.
I love music with warmth,  sincerity and emotion however it comes and still relish the opportunity 
to share my sounds manually through the medium we know as Vinyl. As long as it's available I will 
continue to support it,  everything about it just works and I believe it helps strengthen our beloved scene.
