AUG 07 - SEEN 7" (Dealmaker) BUY/LISTEN
My first release, entirely made by scratching. Got lots of support from Huw Stephens (Radio 1). DJ Yoda's review of Seen:
MAR 08 - SEEN EP (Dealmaker) BUY/LISTEN
4 versions of Seen - The original all-from-scratch version, a Kids In Tracksuits remix, my 128bpm Playsatan jam, & a Full Fat version - the band's first release.
Bandidge.com's review of Full Fat version:
APR 08 - FINGERPRINTS (Dealmaker) BUY/LISTEN
My debut album. 11 tracks, nearly half of which are created entirely by scratching. Here's what people are saying about it:
"Multi talented, multi-instrumentalist Red has come up with a selection of delights on his debut album." Bandidge.com ( full review is great)
"Red takes the noble art of turntablism to new heights… But best of all, he's innovative without being too precious about it." - The Independent Review
"The shuffling breaks and jazzy atmosphere of tracks such as Simmer are expertly constucted" - Q Magazine
"First rate Hip Hop Jams on this debut from turntable whizz kid Red, which is guaranteed to see him elevate to the next level... Set to be massive" - Knowledge magazine
"Red is rewriting the rule book for performing hip hop live... The album, it must be said, is brilliant." - London Tour Dates
"A nice blend of instrumental beats and tracks made entirely from scratches, like the excellent Samba Scratch." Hip Hop Connection
"This intricate album is a must for those that are inquisitive about the craft of music making and hip hop production in particular." M8 Magazine
"Often these albums come down to the power of the mantra and the skill of the crate digging. Red possesses all of these and a whole lot more." Echoes Magazine, Hip Hop Album of the Month.
