DIctator - Hide And Seek (Liam Doc Edit)

Ache ft Lauren Smith

An instrumental, arpeggiated dance track inspired by both very distant and local light emitting objects. An underlying wave moves through the track replicating the transmission of light. The music panning is very fluid and of course, a thumping 4 to the floor bass line (best listened with headphones).

Hackney born and Colchester based he returns with a cheeky new single Here Come The Freaks. 

Written, recorded and self-produced by Johnno in the middle of recording a new Snippet album, this song just didn't seem comfortable being sat between two tracks on an album, so it busted out in its own right. 

Here Come The Freaks is in celebration of the picked upon, the bullied and the under-appreciated members of society.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno juggled being in a band with holding down a normal job (playing a packed Astoria at night and washing out s**t stained lifts in the morning).

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-U-Sound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun’s newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s old Highbury stadium and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills whilst getting M.E and becoming a well-respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene by making excellent songs that may come from the borders and margins, but kiss you in the sweet spot as good as more mainstream songs do. 

Oh and Johnno has recorded and toured extensively with all sorts of bands including as lead singer with Deep Joy who were born out of the early 90’s London acid house/club scene - via Shoom nightclub and being named as Danny
Rampling’s favourite band, working with David Harrow and Andrew Weatherall who produced and remixed their debut single on Brainiak Records - onto the early years of trip-hop on James Lavelle’s Mo ‘Wax label and being championed by Gilles Peterson on Kiss FM. 

They dented the charts in New York, Tokyo and London and also worked
with the aforementioned legendary On-U-Sound label founder and producer Adrian Sherwood on their Ray Hayden produced material.

For the last 12 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances and has been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show. 

He also the founder/producer of the Warm and Toasty Club, an innovative  and award winning club that uses delightful live events to make older folk feel cherished and less lonely. Of late the club has kept people connected throughout lockdown with 70 online chat shows with fun features and live singing guests (called Online Memory Afternoons), a monthly Warm and Toasty Newsletter and a daily telephone befriending service to help keep loneliness and isolation at bay and keep people connected.

“I feel about Snippet much like John Peel felt about The Fall - Snippet: A National Indie treasure”

SHAKE THESE TREES (Music: Roberts/Read - Lyrics: Nagel)

if there is aught that can release a better dawn / then let it shake these trees and sing / “action is eloquence” // sister, mother / father, brother / friend or stranger / we need each other /hands above your head where i can see / hands up, get down on your knees / hands above your head where i can see / hands up, get down on your knees // (shake these trees) / hey don’t touch me / i’m minding my own business  / (shake these trees) / hey don’t touch me / hey don’t touch me / 'cause i’m down on my knees / got no weapon / just trying to get home / got no weapon on me // got my hands up and i’m on my knees / got
my hands up, i can’t breathe / got my hands up and i’m underneath / got them up but i can’t breathe // (shake these trees) / hey don't touch me / stop resisting / (shake these trees) / we can end this / stop resisting // muscle, blood, spit, bone - ambition, guilt, breath, brain / imagination, vulnerability, hope – weakness, rage, trust, pain / hustle, hatred, love - silence – so much fear / what makes us human? / and what makes us unspeakable?

MING NAGEL – vocals / JON READ – keyboards, trumpet, percussion, backing vocals / ALAN ROBERTS – guitars / JAMIE VARLEY – bass guitar, backing vocals / DAVE TIDMARSH – drums, string arrangements / LYNVAL GOLDING – guest vocals / TIM SMART - trombone
