InfluencesThe Album title Mad DNA Mud is not only a perfect representation of the music, it is actually an anagram for Mum and Dad. Drawing inspiration from the 1960s and before,the album is an experimental journey from upbeat soul-cellar party music to Hip Hop via the Blues into more obscure Film Noir territories. Mixing genres, styles and flavours like a play on word, Mad DNA Mud lives up to it's name while inventing a new genre: 'Space Age Gangster Soul'.

The Future Shape Of Sound free-styling, retrotastic debut album Mad DNA Mud is a mixture of psychedelic Blues, Bowler Hats and 60s hiphop.
It is: Space Age Gangster Soul!

The album was recorded at Space Eko Rec Studios, London by main writer/producer/instrumentalist Alex McGowan and the Future Crew featuring singer/rapper/writer Big Daddy Kai, singer/rapper/street diva Nomtai, singer/songwriter/producer Justin Stones, up&coming singer/songwriter Nuwella, future blues legend Son Of Dave (ex-Crash Test Dummies) and the legendary Earl Okin. (If that doesn't sound like a diva collective I don't know what does...) The live band is completed with Jack Cowens on drums and Arnie Hjovar on bass.

After having played many London shows and various successful tours in Europe and Russia a second album is currently in the making due for release in 2010...

Alex other collaborations include Martina Topley Bird (album Quixotic, nominated for a Mercury Music Prize in 2003). Son Of Dave, Tricky, Josh Homme (QOTSA), Stewart Copeland, JJ Jecalik (Art Of Noise), Duncan Bridgeman (1 Giant Leap), The Starseeds, PJ Higgins.

[S27-027] Various Artists - SECTIONED


(Click image to download)


To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.

Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
