Whitey (DimMak / Kitsune) Your attention please. Whitey is a sort-of solo project by N.J Whitey. He is a bit of a misanthrope that spends most of his time skulking in dark corners. He collects books, grudges and enemies. He has to date recorded and released one album THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS A TRAIN (1234 Records). This made many critical 'Best Of Year' lists. You should listen to this, if you can find it. If you are in America then you can buy it from DimMak, or from Itunes. Whitey has just completed another album. pony up! With no two songs sounding the same and incorporating the best of rock, electro and folk sounds Whitey plans on re-introducing America to good dance and chill shounds again. I'll leave it to legendary UK music magazine Q to have the last word on Whitey, "A superb debut, insidious buzzing grooves and fragile deamy tunes"
Rory Phillips (T.R.A.S.H. / Durr) Best known for his sets alongside Erol Alkan at London's premier tastemaking nightspot Trash (R.I.P), his mutant disco workouts at East London's Our Disco and his main room slot at Trash's successor Durrr, Rory Phillips' unique style of awkward dance, forgotten post-punk classics and electronic oddities has seen him play to crowds all across Europe, Asia and the USA, play alongside the likes of 2ManyDJs, Optimo, The DFA and Justice, record a DJ session for the John Peel Show and more recently be hand-picked to produce remixes for the likes Of Montreal, Franz Ferdinand, Chromeo and Robyn w/ Kleerup's recent UK Number 1, 'With Every Heartbeat'.
