Hey Elbow  
Ellen Petterson (horns, electronics) 
Julia Ringdahl (vocals, guitar) 
Liam Amner (drums) 

Hey Elbow formed in 2013, and the debut single Blanca quickly made an impression and created waves in music media and on the net. The attention paved the way for gigs all over Scandinavia, London and Berlin, as well as opening for among others Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Cayucas and Color War.  

There music is another creature that strives to be free, and therefore Hey Elbow like to skip the usual genre descriptions and musical references when it comes to their creation.

The band took its name from an aerobics warm-up exercise they were taught while standing in the audience waiting for a show by The Knife. With their background in jazz and musical education, combined with an interest in noise, improvisation and freedom, they make odd and haunting pop music with a unique and personal expression. None and all of the three members are fronting the band, a democratic philosophy that gives the flugelhorn as much space as the singing, the electronics and the drums.

 "In our music the sound is at least as important as the actual compositions. We like to add little details to the mix, and they don't have to be notes, they can be just noises or hiss. They add just as much to the music as tonal things."  

They describe a liberating feeling when they started playing together, like finding something that had been waiting to take form. Their creative process is more intuitive than analytical and they don't limit themselves with thought-out stylistic moves.  

"Most of our inspiration is probably unconscious. We don't talk a lot before we write a song about how we want it to turn out, we try to just let everything happen. We have never talked about in what direction Hey Elbow should move or how we want to sound."

Atmosphere and weight, emotional charge, beautiful melodies and and a minimal restraint in combination with a joyful experimentation production-wise, are all contributing components which make it hard to forget Hey Elbow once you've heard them. Name-dropping comparisons feels superfluous, the music is powerful enough on it's own. 

The debut album was recorded in nine days, together with producer Joakim Lindberg in Studio Möllan in Malmö, Sweden.

Too Young to Fall in Love

SWS002 - Sweet Tooth T 'She Can't Love You / Feel The Same', the second release on the new Super Weird Substance label - release date July 6th 2015. 

Vinyl & Digital available here: http://bit.ly/SWS-002
Compilation CD available here: http://bit.ly/SWS-CD001

This is the full length Greg Wilson club mix, you can hear the radio version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvNt2fcqMhM

When disco was declared dead in 1979, dance music was forced back underground, leading to one of its most creative periods. Moving into the eighties, post-disco producers were allowed to explore the new technologies emerging at the time with little corrupting influence from the mainstream and New York became a hub for the new electro-funk and boogie sounds.

Having built his reputation playing the latest US dance imports at Wigan Pier and Manchester’s Legend and Haçienda in the early eighties, DJ Greg Wilson is indebted to that sound and has paid homage to many of the cult hits of the era through his reworks and edits.

Greg had originally intended to edit Chemise’s 1982 underground cut 'She Can’t Love You', cherry picking the best parts from the original and dub mix. However this proved unsatisfactory, so instead he decided to take on a full cover, approaching Tyrrell; the guy who did such a brilliant job of recreating Massive Attack and the Rolling Stones - mashed up with Amerie - on his 2005 P.T.A release, which Greg then reconstructed into 'Two Sides of Sympathy', one of his most enduring edits.

Having recorded the backing track back in 2011, he needed to find the right vocalist. His first thoughts were to approach Adeline Michele, the singer from Brooklyn disco outfit, Escort. This never materialised and, apart from a fleeting fancy for recording it with NYC based Lady Miss Kier, formerly of Deee-Lite, the track was put in mothballs for a couple of years, until he dug it out just a few months ago to play it to The Reynolds, who’d sang so superbly on his track 'Summer Came My Way'. Katherine Reynolds took on the lead and Greg instantly knew the song had found its voice. Not only that, Katherine also expertly weaved lyrics from Triple X’s 1999 'Feel The Same' into the track to give it a new twist.

Greg road-tested the recording in a club for the first time in London last December and it’s since become a crowd favourite - the release is greatly anticipated by DJs and dancers alike. Kermit Leveridge, who has worked with The Reynolds on his Blind Arcade project chipped in with the rap section the girls add and also features on a further mix of 'She Can’t Love You', this time coupled with his own 'C’mon Sway' lyrics. Sweet Tooth T is a project channeling the hallowed sounds of New York in the early eighties but - like with Greg’s DJ sets - the sounds from this groovacious past have been reimagined in a contemporary manner.

Formerly available on a compilation but due to the fact they have been very cheeky lately and very unsportsmanlike I've decided to give it away here.
Enjoy the WAV :)

Knockin' (Fingerman's Soulful Beatdown)FREE WAV

One of the many recordings of Chaka Khan with Chicago band Rufus, "Live In Me" is part of their 1979 album "Masterjam", produced by Quincy Jones. 

Warm and groovy, this song is also a bit "cheesy" to me by moments, so here is a nudisco rework, where I kept the grooviest parts while adding some punchier beats & bassline.

DoctorSoul is one of the hottest Parisian Disco & Soul producers, who releases his music a.o. on Yam Who?’s überhip Disco Label MIDNIGHT RIOT RECORDS from London. His releases often reach the Disco DownLoad Charts, he just reached No 1 in the Traxsource charts with “Secret Friend”. He has his own unique production style, which is always on the dubby side if things, but still very poppy and true to the original. A difficult balance, that he masters like not many others.  One of the reasons for this special sound might be the fact that he was born and raised in West Africa. On the musical production side, DoctorSoul has collaborated with many artists/ bands from diverse genres (Funk/ Disco/ Boogie/ Rock/ Rap and even in Jazz) in bringing production remixes for the likes of legendary Brazilian pianist virtuoso TANIA MARIA, singer JEFF CASCARO, or Soul/ Westcoast music band MANDOO, and Disco/Funk veteran act INTERVIEW (among others...). 
Dj Supermarkt’s sets are full of his productions for years now, but it was when he heard DoctorSoul’s amazing, totally unique production work for “Saturday Morning”, that he immediately called him to save that track for a new TSTD EDITS 10 Inch.
His tracks are spinned all around the globe by renowned DJ colleagues such as Lenny Fontana, DJ Supermarkt, Ashley Beedle, Ursula 1000, Yam Who? Jaegerossa, Mannix Kling, JM Soul, Disco Daze, ChuggingEdits, Limpodisco, Ruff Diamond, The Cool Million a.m.m.

TSTD EDITS 04: Side A - Saturday Morning (DoctorSoul What Yow Life Can Truly Be Re - Therapy)

Digital single - released 14th February 2020. Available here: https://the-emanations.bandcamp.com/album/love

There’s a new Technicolor musical phenomenon emitting from the Morphogenetic Field… Known as The Emanations, this new project will act as a vessel for Greg and Ché Wilson to explore a new cut and paste approach to production. Sending fragments of classic and cult classic dance tracks through their sonic prism to create fresh hybrids.

The past couple of years have been prolific for the pair in the studio, turning their hand to a number of varied official remixes, including Sleight Of Hands’ 10CC cover for Green Gorilla Lounge, The Cuban Brothers cover of Razzy’s Northern Soul classic, Heavenly Records Melbourne-based outfit Confidence Man, Hipnotic’s early ‘80s boogie, Brooklyn collective Underground System on Soul Clap Records, Serbian electronic live act Bella Technika and the Confidence Man-affiliated Jungle Giants – with further mixes delivered and in the pipeline.

The Emanations project has been developing alongside this plethora of remixes, with Greg and Ché utilising stems provided by Tyrell, the Canadian-based multi-instrumentalist also responsible for replaying the parts for Rolling Stones/Massive Attack mash-up ‘Two Sides Of The Sympathy’ and SWS Chemise cover, ‘She Can’t Love You’.

‘Love’ is the first offering from the project, and links back to the beginnings of Super Weird Substance. Like with the label’s debut release, ‘Summer Came My Way’, the song was originally written by Greg Wilson and performed by The Reynolds for Schooled In The Classics.

This time however, it was mixed down at SWS HQ. Blending and fusing Tyrell’s re-recordings, GW and CW fed The Reynolds through a vocoder, inviting deeply emotive flautist Manon McCoy to add a delicate layer of ethereal magic.
