‘Ectopic Beats Volume 1’ is the first in a series of newly arranged unreleased recordings from the archive of UK producer and multi-instrumentalist Simon Ward - aka Dr Rubberfunk. 
Exclusively available from Bandcamp, on Limited Cassette and Digital.

His first solo music since releasing ‘My Life At 45’ in 2020 - an album lauded by BBC 6 Music (UK), Bandcamp Daily and awarded a prestigious Sélection FIP on FIP Radio (FR) - the origins of the music presented here span the entire 25 years of his music producing career and are firmly rooted in his love of sampling and the mesmeric qualities of a good loop.

Dr Rubberfunk - 'Time To Relax' featuring Titeknots [Snippet]

Shomy (1973) grew up in Smederevo near the capital of Serbia, Belgrade. At high school, influenced by the Sex Pistols he started his musical career playing guitar in Punk bands. In the early nineties he discovered bands like Happy Mondays, The Soup Dragons, The Stone Roses, Stereo MCs, Primal Scream and The Charlatans which lead to him forming Bioskop which he played guitar and wrote music and lyrics for. 
The band split in 1995, but Shomy and the band’s lead singer continued to perform and record, releasing their first album in 1998. The album, arriving at a time when civil war gripped the country, was well received by critics and public, with 7 of the 10 albums tracks charting as singles.
The band split and Shomy took time away from music for personal reasons until 2008, when he realised he missed the scene too much. He recorded a single ‘Vatra’ (Fire) with a guitarist from Vancouver  (Laka Ruka) bringing him back to the top of the lists. In the meantime, former singer of the band Happy Mondays, Rowetta, joined him and together they recorded three songs and a video. Shomy now lives in Belgrade and works as solo artist. Healso DJ’s in small clubs in Serbia. His musical tastes and influences are varied something that is evident in his DJ sets and original songs
