CLIVE DEAMER
An Edgy, leaner Bonham for the 21st Century, Clive Deamer was at the backbone of two of the most influential British albums of the
90's, both winners of the Mercury music prize. Portishead's "Dummy" and Roni Size's "New Forms".
A devotee of Jazz and R&B drummers like Earl Palmer, Art Blakey and Elvin Jones, his Jazz aesthetic is coloured by sudden outbursts
of Rock aggression and tight but loose breakbeat feel. He is a member of the Ornette Coleman inspired quartet Get The Blessing, whose
free approach informs all of his playing, and he is constantly in demand as a recording drummer, for his taste and discipline.
In hairier days he played with Hawkwind at Amsterdams infamous Melkweg, recorded with Dr John, Jeff Beck and Tom Jones.
More recently combining computer recording technology with old school spontaneity for the creation of the critically acclaimed
Robert Plant album "Mighty Rearranger, and even more recently Siouxsie Sioux's solo album"Mantaray"............................................................................."Clive sliced" is a remix from various recording sessions. "Music Style Product" is by Get The Blessing, taken from the forthcoming album Bugs In Amber.
Check out Mindstorm and Glide's newest DrumnBass release on Mindstorm Records "Future Music Sessions Volume 1". It features 4 tracks starting off with Mindstorm offering up some of the old sounds of DnB with "Destiny" and "Sudden Movement" followed by Glide bringing the new and current sound with his tunes "Funkadelicious" and "Apoptosis". Definately a favorite for old and new school fans alike. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the support, cheers!
