The Unheard :SoundProof Vol 1
Released: 19/09/05

The Unheard, Manchester-based producer and DJ extraordinaire, is doing everything in his power to make himself heard, bringing to life forgotten sounds into crazy sonic tapestries. His Switchflicker debut ‘Sound Proof Volume One’ is a 4 track EP, put out on 7” vinyl in limited numbers to keep it bubbling under, reflecting the label’s experimental style to the full.

Melomiander presents a lazy, hip-hop groove for the A side’s beginning. Its mellow flavour meanders towards the Jazzy Belly Ride, where The Unheard infuses scratching to his mix of melodies and sounds. El-Skit is a totally unpredictable ending, with different beats surprising us at every corner. Over the course of the EP The Unheard blends samples from all walks of life - from elephants to even a quick appearance from Rolf Harris…

Sporting Hero : The Calendar E.P
Released: 18/10/05

A year in the life of a stalker’s doomed and deluded love affair packed into 3 notes;
A shuffle beat, battle of wills face-off between Sporting Hero and the black dog’;
A no holds barred, one-sided put-down wrapped up in a big, country blues grin;
A menacing instrumental prequel to the title track, tripping over its own sly excitement.

“A lone minstrel, accomplished musician Sporting Hero takes to the stage bringing to mind the stranger moments of Ed Harcourt, as he employs everything from keyboard to ukulele. While the songs often sound too big for his one man band to contain, he carries them off beautifully nonetheless”

Chloe Poems : London Is Paranoid
Rosie Lugosi : Death and Destruction
Released: 08/03/04

Limited edition white coloured 7" vinyl featuring Rosie Lugosi on the flip side, Featuring The Lord Mongo backing band. Britain,s first gay socialist transvestite poet, Chloe Poems and 'the hell-raising basqued avenger' Rosie Lugosi, return with local producer, Fall collaborator and Skam alumni Mild Man Jan at the console. Channeling the rock and roll ethos next to a winning fusion of playful lyrics, Chloe delivers gingham outrage, Rosie turns up in six foot of spotless pvc, ready for some aftershow antics. Not since John Cooper Clarke lost it at the hands of the merciless Honey Monster, have we been privileged to such a well constructed display of bile and disdainful misanthropy. Outrageous, and positively unmissable.

The production is non-existent and the instrumentation extremely LO-fi, but that doesn't stop the title song from being a raw slice of visceral grrl-rock. The remaining three tracks cover cartoon rap, confessional indie and snaking guitars making this an interesting and entertaining debut. Go Valerie!
