getting play by David Mancuso (The Loft), Thom Bullock (Rub N Tug), Prins Thomas, Todd Terje, Ashley Beedle and Bill Brewster (DJ History)
"Sounds like Kongas (of Cerrone) playing country music while drinking a mojito on the moon. In other words, I love you." - Todd Terje, DMC / Update
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT WILD RUMPUS
“Without doubt one of the freshest acts to appear on our radar for some time… Wild Rumpus manage to pull off that precarious marriage between far-out psyche sounds and the dancefloor; that obfuscated interzone where disco, rock and electronics collide.”
Clash Magazine
“’The third single from this remarkable venture continues the stunningly unique approach taken by DJ Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy and former Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas on their previous two outings - last year's 'Musical Blazeup' and the jawdropping 'Purple Somersault'. Here they're joined by none other than Beardyman, who piles into their swirling maelstrom of psychedelic blues and acid grooves to add severely to the whoopee quotient. The original heats up as it progresses, invoking anything from Alabama 3 to Seasick Steve shot with Berlin techno sensibilities but Gary's stellar guitar-work leaping from peak to peak . Ultimately it's a joyful but truly different celebration which will have mass smiles breaking out. There's also a groovy dub from Reverso 68 for the more straightforward floors."
Update
“The word eclectic is over-used in dance music, but Cosmo and her label Bitches Brew are almost the dictionary definition. Here's the closest thing modern dance has come to the essence of blues: a cottage industry production of slide guitar, harmonica, psychedelia, Beardyman's wonderful vocals and fat bass. Reverso 68's remix is dubby, ambient, Afro, disco and every bit as eclectic. Wonderfully, wilfully different.”

Wild Rumpus are Cosmo and Gary Lucas: two pioneers of forward thinking music, but from very different backgrounds combine to make the kind of music you simply can’t ignore but at the same time can’t quite put your finger on.
To mark the follow-up to their first two singles "Musical Blaze-Up" and "Purple Somersault", they’ve bagged a collaboration with vocal entertainer extraordinaire Beardyman – the result being the tripped out hoe-down that is ‘Rock The Joint’. Beardyman is becoming more popular than Kate Moss’ phone number, from headlining stages at Glastonbury, Lovebox, Rise, Bestival and Bloom, he was recently nominated for a Digital Music Award (Best Urban Act, alongside MIA and Wiley) and took the roof off at the Roundhouse with three encores and a standing ovation. And all before he’s released a record.
Colleen Murphy, aka Cosmo, has been pushing musical boundaries since her teens. Born near Boston but relocated to NYC in '86, Cosmo had her own radio show by the age of 14, which she held for many years, showcasing her love of psychedelic, garage and prog rock and was one of the only outside DJs ever to grace the decks at the infamous birthplace of clubbing, David Mancuso's 'The Loft'. Cosmo's work in the realms of disco, nu wave, electronica, house, nu jazz and crossover rock has allowed her to develop an eclectic DJ style that is beloved by DJs, promoters, clubbers across the globe. The mix of Cosmo’s psychedelic roots and disco tutelage truly explains the sounds of her partnership with one of the guitar world's genuine pioneers.
Gary Lucas was recently dubbed the 'Guitarist of 1000 Ideas' by the New York Times and is widely considered to be the guitar world's greatest living talent. Previously of Captain Beefheart, Gary is famed for his multi-faceted musical creativity, collaboration projects, film scores and most recently, his work with new band "Gods & Monsters". As the co-writer of Jeff Buckley's seminal "Grace", Gary is no stranger to making hits, yet his passion for experimentation continues to make him one of music's more interesting characters.
It’s the type of partnership that can lead to quite uncontrollable excitement and with an album release planned for 2009, it could be one of the most interesting LP’s of next year.
