CAKEBOY & DOUBLETHINK

DON'T BE DAFT!

About Me

'MONSTROUSLY TALENTED!' - The Guardian
'UTTERLY INFECTIOUS' - Rough Trade
'UP & COMING BRIGHTON BEAT BULLY' - Glastonbury Festival
This programmer, producer & live electronic act hales from Brighton UK & has been writing & performing live, his quirky, adrenalin-fueled breakbeat/rock fusion at clubs & festivals around the UK & Europe for the last 5 Years. A Cakeboy set is never the same Twice, tweeked & manipulated on the fly & full of suprises. With the addition of visual wizard VJ DOUBLETHINK, live camera feeds and Coldcut's pioneering VJAMM software, the live show has grown into a cleverly synchronised multi-media experience. Their combined energy, enthusiasm & passion for involving the crowd never fails to take the roof off! They are also the only unsigned act to have been invited to play Glastonbury's famous Dance Village 3 Years running.
Recent Years have seen the boys playing along side Krafty Cuts, Freestylers, Evil Nine, Stanton Warriors, Andy Weatherall & more. CAKEBOY has released 3 12" vinyls on SONIC TONIC Records & a single & Album 'HAVE IT & EAT IT' on CUP OF TEA RECORDS in 2005.
