Silicon Scally   

Today we have the absolute honour to have one of the all-time greats strengthening our podcast roster; Carl is one of those enduring producers who pops up all over the history of UK house and electro from the early ‘90s onward. He collaborated often in his early career, most famously making house music with our January guest Ralph Lawson, releasing his music at labels like 20:20 Vision, Fundamental Records, Craigie Knowes & plenty more throughout his career. 

  It is his urge for 808’s starting in ’96, that got everybody’s attention.  As Voice Stealer, Carl innovated what electro could be, bending the fleet-footed percussion of electro around experimental sounds and samples on the 1997 album The All Electric House and 1998’s Electromotive Force EP, both for Subvert. Together with Daz Quayle he formed IL.EK.TRO in 1998, which yielded two boundary-pushing and entertaining EPs for Klang Elektronik and a more damaged version of their sound in 2004 for Modern Love.   

Yet his most prolific electro project (in our most humble opinion) is Silicon Scally, which has come out with seven albums and two dozen EPs worth of extremely diverse electro music released on Cultivated Electronics, CPU & Electrix Records. 

  This live-set is what we would have gotten from his planned touring last year, and it is everything you thought it would be! We want to point out his Facebook page as he is educating the new generation about music production, technology, his weapons of choice(mainly coffee ;-) ) as well as just being a dope and genuine place to be! So for now…  

Let his music do the talking.
