FRIDAY 9th JUNE 2006

MUD THERAPY presents A DRUM N BASS SPECIAL

ANDY-C, Fatal, Raw and guests

 

 

Hornchurchs Ram Records has managed to remain one step ahead of its contemporaries since its inception in 1992. Their seminal "Valley Of The Shadows" though over four years old is in such demand it has recently been repressed and reissued. The record signaled Rams departure from the darkside into something much harder to define. Their sound steps beyond the technical, conjuring extreme sound from the equipment while retaining a sense of space by allowing bass frequencies to provoke a response from the atmospherics. Though traditionally the label has avoided press attention preferring the tracks to speak for themselves, Kingsley Marshall talks to Andy C about Rams success and the "Sound In Motion" longplayer.

 

Hes the king of clubs, the lord of dubs, the junglist don gorgon. Join us as we delve into the mind of drum & bass favourite son, Andy C...

 

Having thoroughly conquered the worlds of DJing, label-running and producing, you could forgive Andy C for having a touch of the swollen ego about him. But, much to Liquidfunks delight, in person hes down-to-earth, arrogance-free and still very much in love with the genre that he played no small part in moulding. But just who is Andy C? What makes the junglist nations most popular selector tick? What were the key influences that moulded this human anthem factory? We have his big sister, Voodoo Ray and a woman called Barbara to thank, apparently...
