ANTIHIPPI

About Me

Born Epsom Surrey 1953. Miserable, fat, bald old bastard that ought to grow up but can't be arsed. Can't play any instruments with any great skill or real interest. Can however, sometimes, bodge a computer into talking to a selection of knackered keyboards and samplers. I am a lazy bugger and don't make enough finished material though my hard drive is full of some interesting 30 second loops. Also have some fairly sick decontextualised samples about psychiatric disorders, torture, genocide, religious fundamentalism, serial killers (as examples). Produced 1st 2 demos for Capital X. Dj sets at Pink Flamingo Club Nights at Railway Inn Winchester; Electrocious, Kings Tavern, Reading; Blast Zone, Medussa, Brixton; Anti-Theory, ibar Bournemouth. Fairly eclectic sets which include anything from breakcore, power electronics, through industrial, intelligent metal, through glitchcore, noise, electroclash, underground hip-hop, and gabba. Give us a set or I'll approach you when I'm pissed and bore you to death.....and dribble.......and....and..... Why ANTIHIPPI? Because I remember the bastards 1st time round. The buggers filled themselves up with so much weed that they thought Thatcher was erotic. Those that didn't make a fortune turned into Human Resources Officers, The Wet Afternoon Bright Ideas bastards that invented working at night and weekends (No 9 -5 for me maaan), the ones who try to take your head over with workplace activities, corporate images, living for the company and all that bollocks. And if you talk to them: "I haven't changed maaan, I still take my suit off when I get home and listen to my Pink Flob albums", "i've just had to take a more mature attitude maan, especially since we got a mortgage and the kids came along, I mean television can be so educational and although I didn't vote for her Thatcher did give this country a kick in the pants, we couldn't (WE!!!) go on like before and all the rest of the bollocks they talk to justify their BMW in the drive, moving up on the mortgae ladder, their overheated houses, the obsession with new kitchens (and sofas to judge by the adverts) Oh I could go on but I'm sure you're all bored. ..
