Here it is kiddies...
Silent Records in association with Skam presents:
SKAMPLER:
JEGA: Born in South Manchester, "Skampler" features two tracks from his
debut ep, SKA 006, released on Skam midsummer '96. Jega is currently being
sought after by Warp, Rephlex, and Planet U, and is obviously destined for
stardom. Jega also likes eating kebabs and drinks cider! A new release is
imminent...
FREEFORM: Aka Simon Pyke, born in Fareham Southern England. "Skampler"
contains an exclusive remix of Fane, which was heavily sampled by U2 on their
"Discotheque" album and "Pop" single. Simon will also be releasing an album
in May on Skam, and a second ep on Warp.
BOLA: Real name Darrel Fitton born in Rochdale. Bola has received much
interest from the USA via Astralwerks. He has been so kind in giving us an
exclusive track for the "Skampler". Darrel is a huge fan of all things
Sci-Fi to the extent of building scale models in his spare time. Bola also
has a full length release coming out on Skam in the summer.
GESCOM: An unlimited collection of people from the Manchester area...
"Skampler" is fortunate enough to have an Autechre remix of the Gescom
track, "Mag", taken from the "Future" ep that has no release date as of yet.
BOARDS OF CANADA: Mike and Marcus were born on the North East coast of
Scotland where they began recording on home hi-fi in 1983. They are
currently very busy writing for an album for Skam for release in August.
They spend most of their time hanging around an ancient monastry in
Midlothian.
LEGO FEET: "Skampler" features 3 tracks from Skam's first release in late
'91. Although it never truly came out, it was pressed at 300 copies. These
guys are so shy, we're not totally sure if we have the copyright for us to do
this. Little is known about these characters!
Track listing will follow shortly!
discreetly,
