Idle Hands

About Me

Idle hands have been djing together for over 5 years. They have been making happy peoples feet shuffle all over manchester with their little funk sounds! They've supported the likes of Mr Scruff to Andy Smith(Portishead) and continue to reach new heights.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/08/2006
Band Members: Mark Homewood & Sebastian Parris
Influences: Old and funky, new and funky, things of an obscure nature, cracking drum breaks, horn stabs, big male vocals, sassy female vocals, m.c's who rap in time & dont shout, dj's that mix and dont mention James Brown too often.
Sounds Like: Dj Shadow & Cut Chemist performing overtime on Brainfreeze / Product Placement.It's a simple bit of Musical Maths.....4 Turntables + 2 Mixers + a large stack of Funk 45's = "AboutFunkInTime"
Type of Label: Major
