Hello, Fink "Fresh Produce" tracklisting: 1) Tubb Journey 2) Fink Vs DJ Alicat 3) We are Ninja 4) Break n Enter 5) Ever Since I was A Kid (Part1) 6) It seemed I Collected Something( Part11) 7) Good day for Hippos 8) Green 9) Celebrity Speedtrap 10) Bristol Switch Finks Biography from ninja: THE FINK started in the lo-budget environment of the Bristol underground, moving to Leeds in 92, back to Bristol in 96, and then to the Big Smoke in 97. While in Leeds THE FINK played in a number of Jazz / Funk outfits before abandoning the live scene and heading back to his roots in eclectic electronica, a move dictated by the pressures of DJing in this burgeoning Trip Hop scene. After cutting his teeth in the Leeds underground THE FINK signed to "KICKIN RECORDS" and produced his early breakbeat stuff under the name "E.V.A.". After dropping an album that was critically acclaimed as "the best ambient album of the year so far"(DJ) THE FINK powermoved to London. Opening the "One Track Mind" series with the Drum and Bass workout "Oddly Goddly" for NINJA, THE FINK signed his solo soul away to NTONE, which saw the release of the "FINKFUNK" EP in September 97. An ambitious cocktail of Drum n' Bass, laid back R&B vibes and west country cheddar Trip Hop "FINKFUNK" clambered to the dizzy heights of No. 11 in the DJ Chart, The Spring of '98 saw THE FINK collaborating with acts such as BRAN VAN 3000, as well as remixing, along with the majority of NINJA, SAKAMOTO. Then came the "FRONTSIDE"EP - continuing the Bristol vibe this EP contains Dub, Electro, the fattest deep fried beats as well as the overall well-being of FINK flavour, or is it phlava. The luxury and confidence of THE FINKS delivery satisfied!! So to the 2G - The FINK debut LP is released on NTONE in March - entitled "FRESH PRODUCE" quite simply it rules - tubby breaks, grinding grooves - 12 original cuts crossing styles galore - however this is no piecemeal selection - they are the finest, handmade, PYO breaks available in the new year. Full of humour, class and, dare I say it, panache!!. The Bristol Bass sound underpins FINK'S production style and you can almost taste the West Country in the vibes. The finished product is an ambitous blend of textures and underground styles, an eclectic chunk of lo-budget loungecore. Watch out for the single dropping Febuary with an exclusive HEFNER remix, and the FINKS R&B workout of the NINJA release "WE ARE NINJA" available in January on NINJA TUNE. (I didn't write all that by the way!) Hope this helps!! missyxxxxx
