Coburn are the producer/DJ duo of Pete Martin and Tim Healey. Together, they represent that space between rock’n'roll and dance where pretty much anything goes. As producers they are at the cutting edge and in demand, with their original material and dance cuts frequently topping charts (Cool Cuts, Beatport, Buzz) and getting regular radio play. They have single-handedly pioneered the “crossover” indie/dance sound and all but given birth to the dance-style currently hailed as: electro-house. Thanks to their releases and legendary Rock Da World/Dirty Beat All Stars events, as DJs, they have headlined clubs and festivals from the UK to Japan. They are currently some of the hardest working jocks in the UK, who when not touring are on permanent production duty in their west London studio. Years ago, they kick-started the mash-up/remix/re-edit movement in the UK with their re-edits of The White Stripes, The Hives and Nirvana. Even to this day, their highly sought after strictly limited releases change hands for big cash on ebay. Their critically acclaimed label: Frontier Recordings continued to showcase their talents as dance producers, until, in 2005, their monster dance anthem: We interrupt this programme, turned the modern commercial house track formula on its head and was signed to Ministry of Sound, and championed by Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley (among others). Their follow up, the Moroder-esque Give me love (2006), continued to tear up dance-floors across the globe. (by funky soul)

Red Snapper return from the outer reaches to bring you six brand new tracks and once again they are a rocking 3 piece with firing saxophone. And once again it’s impossible to define the sound they make…afro jazz, krautrock, rockabilly, hip hop and funk all bubble in their dub melting pot. The album was recorded live in concert with Darius Kedros on mixing /dub duty and live in the studio with Tim Holmes of Death In Vegas. New sax (and clarinet) man Tom Challenger brings back the edge to make these recordings truly sizzle. Anyone who has caught them live will know what a unique and powerful live band they are. A Pale Blue Dot is both document and mission statement. The album also features radical new re-interpretations of 2 of the tracks, one apiece by Kelpe and Subway, stretching the future jazz vibe riiiiight out. So there you have it an album that feels so good, so right, so now. (by hefiorels)
