NEW RELEASES - 2009
 
MAFFI / MUNGOS HIFI - Flying High - 7" (Jahtari Records)
500 pre-orders and counting without the record even being available.  It will be at the end of March however so all those who know severe quality say aye n add this cute little 7" (its almost as cute as me but not quite) to your collection.  Its out on Jahtari (that cool digi reggae label) and the first of many releases with my new family.  Flying high is another puffing tune with a killer bass melody, grinding synth and thumping beats and it badly wants to wreck your system.
Produced by Maffi (Jahtari) and remixed by my long running Fam Mungos Hifi and laced with love i find it highly delightful and so do you. (No Jedi mind trick required...order now)!!!

NO STEP - The No Refunds EP - OUT APRIL 14th (NSP001) - GB ZPG 00001 09
Yes, im gutted, the release was pushed back...darn digital distributors.  Oh well, as is the way with trying to run a label whilst creating a legendary status...tough life but it will come out so just wait.  Patience is a biscuit remember.  This is coming out on our own label No Step Productions and the is the first release so expect it to be banging.  We aim to spread nothing ...but the highest quality productions to the keen ears of millions.  Be one in that million.  Order it on CD or buy it digitally when the release date comes.  Hagos of No Step is currently engineering for Marianne Faithful and The Rifles who rocked Glasgow recently yet still manages to do all NSP label and outfit work.  He truly is a hero.  Check it out, listen and buy:  www.myspace.com/nostepproject

DISRUPT and SOOM T - Live gig download @ Art School in Glasgow
Download the live set from the Glasgow gig in October 2008.  It's done the rounds in Europe and they love it and sing along to the freestyle.  Mental.  On a further listen, I agree that it would rock the socks of the Queen dancing with a naked bear against the wind in a hailstorm.  Go to:  www.jahtari.com and go to the mixtapes section which is a computer simulated stack of old school cassette mixtapes.  Genius.  I love it.  Forward is back to the future.
  
Above:  The antics of a fanny.
TOURING
Im gigging hard, Im gigging fast while keeping various multiples in check.  Most of the time I think small thoughts like wondering how Greggs get the coconut to stick on snowballs without dipping the whole thing in thick icing.  Its actually quite clever. Apparently they spray the icing on in halves and then stick the halves together with more icing.  I tried making snowballs and deary me, what a mess i made, got sugary dough all over my squirrel with baws apron. Nuts.
 
Anyhoo, my touring is taking me far and wide and not just with one crew although my favourite so far has to be Jahtari.  He is my better looking, high rocking, less odd, slightly more professional, as talented (modesty gets yeh naywhere), original, eclectic, blonder twin and our shows certainly reflect that indeed.  Ill also be gigging with Jazz veterans Spontaniacs with new line up including the debonair Haftor Medboe the Jazz solo guitarist of genie-aye proportions and clever wordsmith Solareye (ex rapper of DOPE), calum the electrictrifying drummer not to mention the formulator Dave Conway.  Should be good so get down to the Sage in Newcastle on April 18th 2009.

ABOVE:  DISRUPT & SOOM T. 2009.
As for other festies not played with a crew, band or digital reg producer, the sets can only be described as bangin.  With DJ Ersk One at the helm and a bundle of banging riotous well cut skankin beasts, expect nothing less than a full on riot
All the dates are on the site so check them out, list them and come.  They are frequently updated so if im in your country and area come and say hello and i promise to sing you songs and slag you off (in an endearing manner of course) and possible let you sample Scotlands favourite Wine...Buckfast also known as Buckie.
 
BURNS UNIT (www.myspace.com/burnsunitheband
 
The burns unit is progressing on a slow burner (forgive the pun) which one may come to expect when dealing with a posse of super musicians who are busy with their own world domination plans.  Most of the album is recorded and it was recorded with the sun shining outside and it sounds deadly.  Auld Rab himself wid be proud.  If your ears start burning, blame us!
 
DISCLAIMER: If your ears actually do burn it's nothing to do with us.  Someone is probably gossiping about you.  Burns Unit music sooths only.  If any adverse reactions are experienced, stop listening immediately and consult a shrink.  I can recommend a couple of good ones but you'll have to wait until they're out of rehab.

Check the Burns Unit Live at Homegame in Fife on April 17th 2009.
BELOW:  BURNS UNIT - Micheal Johnson, Kim Edgar, Mattie Foulds, Emma Pollock, Soom T, Kenny Anderson, Karine Polwart & Sushil K Dade.


LIVERPOOL
Good Vibrations rocked big time.  It was boss.  I love the scousers.  They treated me like a long lost scouse and rock HARD...like the devil headbanging at midnight on the edge of a knife with a bottle of whisky injected into his veins while eating a live goat which squeals...Whose baaaad...
 
I adore them, their accents (which tops my accents top 5 list) and when they visit Glasgow, open your doors and unplug yer tellies, rocking, talking comically in a Brookie accent and producing Scouse House are their only interests.  Ask them to say "Take the Cake I baked and eat it for fuck Sake..."
 
Warning:  When surrounded by so many scousers chatting away you will feel like you have walked into an episode of Brookside.  Dont worry, you're not.
 
Shout outs:  Paddy (DJ XED), James, Mr Thomas, Presto, Mick and the rest of Good Vibrations.  I love you all and we will rock together again soon. :)
 
DUBPLATES
Ive recorded so many I honestly can't count them if i tried (and i have tried) but no worries, ill put the count back to one again and keep dubplating.  If you require a dubplate, send the track to:  nostep@live.co.uk with the instructions, shout outs, crew names and anything else you want dropped including a preference of track or freestyle if you are happy with a new rendition.  The recording will be sent back within 28 days with the completed version and master recording sent on reciept of payment.
 
Dubplates are unique copies of a record with a specially recorded vox for live spinning only.  You cannot make copies for sale or a seperate deal must be requested.  You can play it out live in your DJ Sets and put it on your websites but no pressing and distributing. 
 
Simple as that really. Dubplates prices vary.  E-mail me for packages (yes very professional I know but it has to be done as the taxman is now on my case and everything has to be done legally and above board).  Payments can be sent by Western Union or Paypal.
 
The next session I do will be on  Monday May 11th 2009 and they will be delivered within the 14 days so get the tracks to me and wait for that dubplate, freshly baked and especially for you.
 
CONKERS
Introducing the Conkers.  A banging 8 to 10 piece I double handedly put together with fellow musical colleague Jonjo since 2006 so over 3 years now.  When people talk about their projects being their babies I can finally say I understand that concept.  Conkers was truly a big idea and highly ambitious project  idea concieved by myself and good friend, engineer, producer and all round muso good guy, the Dundalk originating Jonjo Duggan, an Irish wonder.  It all began with some songs written with just myself and Jonjo and his playful accordian eventualy being built upon to include instrumentalists from many backgrounds.  It was a slow developing project  which took some serious organisation but one that we knew would go down like a nuclear weapon when we finally decided to unleash it, such was the power of the songs we were beginning to formulate and finish at Verden Studios in Portabello.
 
Now after 3 years, countless studio sessions, thousands of emails, hundreds of phone calls and buckets of blood, sweat and tears, the Conkers are ready to present their debut show and will be supporting Supergrass at the Square Festival in Wales in July 2009.  Although still in it's final inception stage, we decided to offer a sneak preview to a promoter who actually insisted us to put it together after hearing only a few songs which he recieved accidentally so it is really the Square Festival we have to thank for shoving myself, Jonjo and our baby "Conkers" into the deep end, breeding our confidence in the knowledge that when the Conkers debut album is complete and ready to go, a dangerous and explosive new Gypsy Rock band await the World's public.  Described as Gogol Bordelloesque raving with Cypress Hill while bouncing to Disney soundtracks, we aim to Rock so don't miss the show as the next Conkers show will not be until 2010 when the album will be unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
 
Conkers Manager:  Sumati & Jonjo (E-mail:  nostep@live.co.uk)
For all bookings:  nostepbookings@live.co.uk
 
The myspace for Conkers will be up shortly so hold onto your socks.
 
VIDEOS
I've collected some cool videos of performances over the years and the next step will surely be to upload them all for you to see so they will be available on the site shortly.

AND OTHER SHENANIGANS
 
Bangface should be nuts.  They rave old school style.  Looking forward to touring with Jahtari and meeting my cousins in Norway for the first time.  They are now about 25 and they are twins and they have agreed to come to the gig to meet their Glaswegian cousin for the first time in their life.  What a shocker eh?  Could you imagine being contacted by me and told that I'm your cousin and invite you along to see me abuse a Norwegian crowd while singing about puffing weed all day? I'm sure they'll like me.  I'll take a couple of pre-rolled just incase.
 
Nose to the grind, grind to the ground and thats the way it goes around.
 
If I don't see you, have a riot, listen good and rock hard.
Your forever available for a blether
Soom T

Greetings Surface people

Long time no speak and to be true, long time no update. The reason for that?  The truth?  Too busy AND I was on a mission to discover the centre of the earth.  I also haven't updated my gigs which I apologise for but they take a while to update and when it came to tour dates and the like I find any my space updating business very quickly embeds itself to the back of the old mind and by the time I remember to put up dates and updates too much time has passed and besides Rico (you know who you are son) is supposed to be responsible for it.  He takes my updates but doesn't put them up as he smokes far too much for an old man.  Okay, he's only 25, but still, get a grip Rico or ill come over to Denmark, steal your weed, beat you up and traumatize you (although you'll probably enjoy the last bit, the last two bits in fact).  For anyone who thinks they recognize the name, Rico is a famous Danish model for a popular Vodka.  Yes, look him up and ladies get out the Andrex, I employed him for his wonderful organizational skills.

Anyhoo…What have I been doing since 2007?  Well….

I've been gigging hard and fast over the UK and doing the dirty Euro festivals.  Videos for those will be up soon.
I now tour with DJ's and posse including a Gypsy Rock band when I can take them with me.  Expect a mixed random rockfest of tunelage and all decent tunes recorded between 2000 and now so nearly a decade of quality shizzam.

CONKERS

We were Me, You and yer man and now after a lengthy break, we became The Conkers, a gypechno tinged rock folk act.  They are Jonjo aka Gandalf (Accordian/DJ/Producer), Adam (Fiddle/Violin), Chris (Drums/Percussion), Soom (vocals), Alistair (Bass), Dan Drayne (Guitar), Emily (Additional Vocals) and various others but the above being core.

"The music is original and rips the cunt right out of anything you'll have heard before" That was a genuine drunken Scot review.

The live 'Conkers' shows will be coming with me the next time and have become a tasty segment of the between 2-3 hour act (which is average for most of ma gigs these days) so feel free to make one if you are in the vicinity.   The Gypechno (genre name a working progress) album by Conkers will be finished completely on January 1^st with the release shortly afterwards so hold onto your saddles for this will be one ride you didn't expect.

We have been described as a superior Gogol Bordello which I tend to agree with despite the over indulgent boastful quality of the aforementioned statement although Gogol rock it big time and I do speak better English which gives me a slight advantage on the English vox fron

ROOT 8

The album is still underway.  I'll say no more except that my old Monkey tribe buddy Griff has re-joined his old tune mate to resurrect some excellent musical magic from the depths of his tunefully mischievous soul.  They are already shaping up to be belters.  Nice one G.

MUNGOS HIFI and SCOTCH BONNET

I've been recording some more quality with the lads, Tom, Doug and Craig and you will hear them when they come out so until then, go away and listen to something else such as anything from Scotch Bonnett. 

Those finely peppered reggae meisters of the Weej have been too busy again.  I say 'too' busy because these dudes work a lot even by my standards but I still get time to watch videos at night and smoke weed (I quit since I wrote this and added this to be sure) whilst listening to the recorded tunes of the day. I also have time to cook 2 meals a day so I do take it easy even though I work … well, like a workhorse.

Anyhoo, after the 2, 10" vinyl's released in 2007, 2008 has seen them release their debut album, and shit hot it is too so go and buy it and you'll hear that I'm on it as-well making it an even better buy.  They also have various other releases so check their site via my top friends and have a sneaky.

 MINI BURNSONG WITH RURAL KIDS – August 2008

 Was amazing and it was brilliant to work with the youth and have music and the performance be all about the youth we met and not about our own musical careers.  What a delightful experience and I will surely be working with the youth from rural domains again as I had far too good a time going on tour with the great bunch in August.  Lets not forget, some of the songs written by them are worthy of becoming hits and they were all far superior to anything by James Blunt (without insulting the waynes too much) including little 5 year old Ryan's song 'Don't put me down' which could bring a tear to the eye of a glass monkey.  Maybe you should book James Blunt the next time Kim and he could get some tips off Ryan although Blunt probably wouldn't pass the disclosure as he 's a consumer of illegal substances AKA a he's a cokehead so that rules that poor idea out.  Och well, better luck next time.

Back together with Kim, Sushil, Karine and Mattie and it was like the Burnsong re-united but without a few key characters missing although we did gain Karines heroic brother Steven so all in all we had it nailed.  The kids made it worth it all the same and represented for the musos of the world.  I think we'd all agree…Nice.

MAFFI / DISRUPT / JAHTARI

I have recently been putting my head together with Jahatari's Jan (the man with many aliases) to devise some new hybrid reggae rock n roll tunes (I call it Rockgae music although I wouldn't be throwing that name about in Bennetts).  Expect them shortly.  Ill be joining the crew for gigs in Leipzig with the first in Glasgow alongside Da Mungos Hifi on October 24^th at the Art School.  Expect to see you all there.

BURNS UNIT

Yes, that's what the Burnsong posse is now called.  After much deliberation and about a 1000 emails a week the Burns Unit is now a living breathing musical machine.  All that can really be said is…"ya'll be waatchin dat space naow…!!"  That was meant to be a Jamaican accent but as with most of my accents sounds like a hybrid of Irish, Japanese, Ozzy Mexican and Didgeridoo. 

MARRIAGE

I always said I wouldn't do it but I've decided to marry a cute younger guy with blue eyes and a very sexy demeanor.  What more could a girl ask for in a husband except a slave personality and a big c….!

I won't be inviting a lot of people.  It will be private and reasonably small, 50 odd mates in another country, somewhere hot and wearing only a bikini made out of ice and a fur coat.  However if you don't get invited don't worry and do get offended.  It means I don't like you very much!

(I was dumped since I wrote this…so…any takers?) Answers on a postcard with a box of chocolates, anything from Jane Norman size 16 to an 18 and a score note (new ideally, I like the crisp smell and the way the Queen looks younger on the new ones) to me at the corner of Sauchiehall Street infront of that smelly pub Driftwood where I'll be selling the Smart Eye with a Council license hanging around my neck shouting "Evening Times" since it seems to have the right effect.

So until the storms come
Let us all be like one and dont pass to me as I'm trying to quit
Luv ya'll, sub, dub, rubadub and a big bear hug
Soom  T

SOOM T V TOLCHA - SEND DEM KIDS TO WAR (Press Release)

It's no newsflash that techno and dubstep have been crushing on each  other, but with Al Haca, Stereotyp and Tolcha, the flirtation is  consummated. After Al Haca's great "Family Business" Release on Meta  Polyp, partners in crime Tolcha drop 3 new essential tunes with many  remixes. Again its a family affair, so no other than Al Haca  themselves, Jahcoozi and the great Eva B are on the Remix Tip.
Steady rhyming from Glasgow Mc Soom T (known from collabos with T.  Raumschmiere, Bus, Daniel Meteo) demand serious speakers or  headphones. Tolcha are stretching from laidback digital dancehall to  low-end detail and dub space. Bass Music is crossing a lot more  borders now. A lot of people can relate to Dubstep, so even though  Tolcha or Al Haca havent changed its recipe, suddenly more people  seem to understand that style. Wutt u call it? Avant-garde -   postmodern hackers ?! Especially with the Eva B Remix the sound of  Tolcha should become more accessible, touching the outer perimeters  of pop and getting approval from radio&club. Don't cue this one  unprepared.


Release: 19.10.07
Label: Meta Polyp
Format: Digital (Finetunes)

Aloha fellow earthlings…

..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

First of all. HAPPY NEW YEAR from a Galaxy far far away.  Here's hoping 2007 is a smashing and enlightening year for you all.

Without further ado…here is the update:

 

NO STEP

The No Step album is seriously underway.  Myself and No Step Production partner Hagos have decided not to rush it and are taking our time to make sure we get everything sounding perfect.  The most important thing is for us to make songs that we feel amazing listening to and only when they are awe inspiring to our ears will they be near good enough for anyone else's.  The tracks, parts, vocals and ideas are going back and forward like a little white ball at a Japanese Ping Pong tournament so there is definitely a unique bridge being built ensuring only the most creative and inspiring songs are entered onto the album sometimes meaning we scrap weeks of work if it doesn't quite fit.  I have never been so excited about anything in my entire life. A big big big up to Hagoooos…a semi discovered genius! 

 

Check out the myspace and join the revolution. www.myspace.com/nostepproject

 

BURNSONG

The Burnsong house was a riot.  We were like the Jackson 5 plus Janet and their parents although I won't start pointing out who was who but I was definitely…dare I say it…nah…well I wont then.  Anyway, it was great and all of that info is on the main page so have a squidge at the photos and chat about that.  It was a productive week.  The future should see the Burnsong crew get together again in 2008  for some more rural gigfest shenanigans.  Many great songs were written during that time warp of a week with the ones I collaborated on being recorded for several projects.  More about that later so stay tuned.

 

ROOT 8

This year Root 8, the fabulous Roots label run by Mr. Ken McCluskey will not be releasing a compilation of Roots tracks by various artists.  Instead it will be releasing an entire album recorded by my bad self.  Tracks with Kenny Anderson of King Creosote, Brian Docherty aka The Doc, Ken McCluskey and Haftor Medboe are already underway with other collaborations planned for my first Roots/folk effort which is already starting to sound like a seriously alternative mix of Gypsy, Reggae, Roots, Folk, Celtic Dance music…I think you'll like it if you're into originality and quality but don't take my word for it.  The first release is a double a side single release planned for June 2007, so again…keep checking this site and local press for further info.

 

BRUNO BELLOUMINI

Following, the vinyl release of the Sao Paulo EP on Belgian imprint Unity Trax, the Dubstep collabo continues.  ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Belgium's adalternativa radioshow in Gent will be presenting a 1 hour Dubstep special by Sven Unity which I had the pleasure of doing a full mc/voice set over.  Gracing tracks from Brazilian beats dupstep to JME's latest, the mainly instrumental dubstep set will hear moi waxing lyrical, political and getting hysterical…so check their site or go to Gent and have a listen. Big up Bruno, Jimmy Luv, Sven and Ipiki.

 

Podcast for Belgian Radio

I recorded my first ever 30 minute podcast which is really just a streaming radio show, silly chat and all.  It included 8 tracks from the years including some old classics and remixes unheard by anyone so stay tunes to that show for the future.  It broadcast on Gent's Urgent.fm on the program Gravity Grooves (21-22 GMT+1). Expect further shows soon.

The tracklist was as follows:

 

1. T. Raumschmiere feat. Mc Soom T "A Million Brothers" Blah Blah Blah / Novamute

2. No Step "Remember to Wake-up" – Hagos and soom t rock it up and wake you up all in wan go.

3. Bus feat. Mc Soom T (Dabrye Remix) "Keep Life Right" Ghostly International

4. Monkeytribe – cover of Hits from the Bong

5. Soom T & Colin Baker "Jesus Christ" – Four Letter Word

6. Tolcha & Soom T "Send them Kids to War" (Jahcoozi remix)

7. No Step "No Step Scool Demo" – good work Hagos.

8. No Step "What about us"(Wickerman Mix) – again nice work Hagos

 

69DB (Original Spiral Tribe) and Creationforge

 

2007 shall also see the rise of the old anti capitalist sentiment that provided some form of opposition to the master built mechanical systems of the controlling elite.

 

I'll be recording some high speed, heavily politicised and not quite as so, take no prisoners dance gems with 69DB aka Sebastian Vaugan (Paris based) to be released exclusively on Creation Forge.  Check out www.myspace.com/spiraltribe for a history of the Spiral Tribe and the part they played in causing the Governments introduction of the Criminal Justice Bill.  They fought the good fight and they suffered for it. They were arrested for organising large, free raves and as per usual, when the corrupt politicians ran out of plausible arguments, they turned to violence and so a true legend in the history of the UK rave scene was destroyed after throwing the biggest Illegal Raves ever to be held in the UK to date.  No mean feat.

www.myspace.com/seb69db

 

Other exclusive tracks can be heard and bought at www.creationforge.com and include vocal dance, techno hop tracks recorded with my oldest friends and crew mates Scott Confusion and Jonjo.  Unique and only available on Creation forge tracks with 'Me,you and Yer man and 69DB collaboration s within the Techno, Dance vein will be available here and here only so keep checking the Creation forge site.

 

Don't miss Me, You and Yer Man Live at the Soundhaus, Hydepark Street on March 24^th with Ixindamix and Ed Cox messing with your minds and feet with originality un heard on mainstream radio. Join the revolution.

NEXUSLIVE and DEMOCRAZY

Expect to see cheeky shenanigans with myself and Nexus crew showcasing and winding up some of the UK's best new artists in Scotland's only Internet music TV show.  With other specials planned it should be a grand year for Nexus. Special shout out to the Director Alasdair A, who works like a bitch to make Nexus the genius riser in the ranks of the music world.  Keep checking and stay tuned.

To top it off, Ill be presenting the Democrazy showcase and playing a short set at the Bongo Club. Expect in depth interviews with the selected bands who win the political song competition not to mention a live link interview where ill be chatting to Chris Novoselic, Nirvanas legendary bass player so be there on the 2^nd of May.

ST PATRICKS DAY

Back in Glasgow for a short while to finish the various albums. Back on the bevvy, I blame the Irish but what a time. Ashton lane, a drunken soom, a few liabilities for mates and an old English teacher from secondary school turning up to the after party wrecked to whom I mentioned that I was once his pupil for 3 years to which he replied…"now that's what you call a fucking comedown…"  It was a surreal night…I mean its not everyday your auld English teacher offers you illegal substances, slags off the chemistry teacher and rants about trying to shag the german teacher.  Who needs stand up…real life is good enough…welcome to my world.

 

I love you all…expect you yah cunt…

 

Peace luv n good times rollin…(rock and joints)
