Sparks and Slyder - The Story so Far by T.V's Antony McFartland and Declan McDangleberry........................................................................ Though not related, Marshall Sparks and Roland Slyder were both spawned from a bacteria living on a jaffa cake that was carelessly placed on a plate of pickles after a 'full on' tupperware party in the 1970's.
Shunned by society, homeless and destitute, they were adopted by The Crankies who raised them lovingly on a diet of virgin mermaids milk and Dairylea Triangles.
Though they had a tough start to life, their creative abilities soon came to the fore with their first written publication..''Porridge, why?'' (critically acclaimed at the 1986 European Breakfast and Elevenses Awards as an 'average' read).
After this success, they produced their seminal work ''Blu Tac, the 8th Wonder of the World'' (available in most good imaginations).
Tragically, whilst researching for their unfinished journal ''Leaf Collecting for the Blind'', they fell into a vat of tobacco plants at a cigarette factory in Clacton.
As fate would have it, they were smoked and exhaled into the thick ether of Brixton Academy on the 23rd October 1992, where they discovered The Orb, DJ Lewis and the meaning of life.
Nowadays Roland makes a living as Personal Cheese Advisor for Terry Nutkins, whilst Marshall works as a freelance geometrist for Bruce Forsyth's 'Chin Management Team'. As Sparks and Slyder, they make whatever music their mood takes at the time....normally something to dance to with a pleasing listening quality to it. Thanks for reading this far btw ;)

Hi
Latest massive release on iBreaks BASS
Here we have the 5th issue of iBreaks Bass, welcoming onboard to MKM & GBX with this their first release under the iBreaks group…. And what a package…!! Surely this is the biggest, bassier, heavier, dancier release on the label so far with 2 ultra-large-full-fat enormous bass rollers.
“I Don’t think So” could prove one of the biggest tracks of 2008, and is one of those straight to the point full on Breakbeat mayhem, with no time to rest and just huge elements loaded with a ridiculous amount of energy and power. This track scared the hell out of us the first time we played it loud after being offered to us from the Brazilian duo… is heavy!!!
“Xtra Xtra” is by no means the little brother of “I Don’t Think So”. The energy levels are also well up to the top, although this time with a bit of a techier approach to the huge amounts of sub bass…
As a whole what we believe is the biggest release under the label, and one of the most powerful on iBreaks over all..
General Midi: Loving This.... Proper Fuckin Breakbeat!!
Far Too Loud: Big Tunes, I Dont Think So Gettin Full Support from us!!
Available @ Beatport, Breakbeatonline, Juno, Trackitdown and others...
