I saw this guy live on Saturday night at Pure in the Barrowlands,
Glasgow, and he was superb.
Pure is a house/techno event, and he didn't really fit in, but everyone
who was in the chill-out room seemed to love it.
He had slicked-down, side-parted blond hair, big Joe 90 glasses, a
spangly black suit and he looked geeky. He set up his keyboards and
started them off, then played sax over one tune. His next was a disco
number with the lyric "it's a disco feeling...from outer space". A lot of
the set was just laidback jazzy stuff. It wasn't house, nor was it techno.
I'd realised reading this list that he was a bit special, and I even
missed Carl Craig to see him (but that was through ignorance rather than
choice - no running times). But now the music for those after-club
parties is sorted. His album is definitely to be bought, especially if
you thought that Jake Slazenger wasn't cheesy enough. What a character.
Rob.
