Deskjob 001 Slumber Soundsystem - The Sound of Slumber

 

With the core of Tony Stone (Now Fatty G) and DJ Tat. Tape Heads will be best remembered for bringing live electronic music to a corner of England better known for crap rock - for the first time back in the mid nineties.

After entering Derbyshire's band of the year competition, Stone, Tat, Mo Jo and Kingsley Marshall (who later went on to write for every decent electronic music mag going) brought the few hundred gathered down to their knees with their heavy sounds. Some loved it, most just stood wondering where the guitar solo was - one judge said anyone can twiddle knobs - we beg to differ as only knobs twiddle guitars.

Much of the original tracks can be found on the free downloads and you find out more about Fatty G and his new and wonderful projects @ http://fattyghettoblaster.googlepages.com/home

      DJ  Tat

 

 

Tat has a long history of djing, spanning back to the late eighties with the legendary Basement Beats Nights alongside DJ Clifton. Tat spent six years on the pirate airwaves in Sheffield including the legendary Fantasy FM, which famously had listeners in the tens of thousands around South Yorkshire alone. There was also a few years residency on the seminal SCR radio station, with his saturday night house show, crammed in amongst a schedule of reggae and soul.

 

Tat ran several nights in Sheffield and Chesterfield before hanging up his headphones in 2002, only to make the rare dj mix and track. He also played up and down the UK from Belfast to regular stints in the Big Smoke; playing at famous nights such as Creamfields, The Bomb, Hard Times, and the Soundshaft to name but a very few. Tat was the hip hop and house resident alongside Chris Bibby at the original Skool Disco in Sheffield, as well as a occassional player at the seminal NY Sushi, and Deconstructed  nights (see Deconstructed #16).

Bio Static Systems

A double 12 inch on the defunkt Flagbearer records was possibly a defining moment for the Bios, but maybe it was the stint over in Belfast playing techno to an appreciative and exciteable crowd.

There's also the countless hours spent recoding in Sheffield with a Robert Smith lookalike and a pub piano. The Bio's made much good music that captured their time and the LP Kommando Unit (which is on our musicography) is a testament to two blokes who knew their Air Liquid from their Maurizio - quality.

And many of their tunes can be downloaded for you to jack out to. Kris Needs loved Viva Acid House and so will you.
