Sounds Like: Rhysmix is Tom Bellamy, the man also responsible for
the majority of the electro bleepiness in the now
disbanded CooperTemple Clause.
Bellamy started off as a guitar player but soon found
himself more interested in the guitar pedals than the
guitar itself. This interest in sounds led Tom into
the land of keyboards and synths which is where he has
set up camp ever since. After a few years with the
band he began to represent them as a DJ, playing sets
wherever people would accept him. Regular sets soon
gave Tom an insight into dance/rock remixes.
In his spare time, while waiting for the Coopers to
release their third album Tom was inspired by the
likes of Soulwax and Simian Mobile Disco and decided
he would give remixing a go and set off doing this to
the band's first single "Homosapiens". This somehow
found it's way into the legendary hands of Eddy
Temple-Morris and was soon heard getting weekly
airplays on Eddy's Remix show. It was also included in
the remix bombs of the year on XFM (that's good i'm
told!).
Tom then had the confidence to remix some of the
Cooper's other singles and now hopes to finish the
whole album in the next few months.
In January, Eddy joined Tom in his studio to remix
Belgian band Goose, mixing Tom's love of electro and
Eddy's passion for pendulum-esque hooks.
After hearing the remix of "Head", Eddy invited Tom
to do a half-hour superchunk mix on XFM, which
comprised a selection of some of Tom's favourite
remixers including artists such as Teenage Badgirl and
newcomers Does It Offend You Yeah?
Recently, Tom has begun writing under the name of
Rhysmix (see "Feared by the other children" on his
myspace page www.myspace.com/rhysmix)
