Ginger Snaps: New Single 'The Modern Man'

Ginger Snaps releases his brand new single 'The Modern Man'.

Continuing his flair for off kilter indie pop, Ginger Snaps is a british elmagamation of sounds inspired by a brain racked by Beastie Boys, Beck & De La Soul.
Co-produced with Dan Gatreau, horns and brass are woven with scratching from DJ and collaborator J Science. Add drums, guitar and bass, and all that was missing was the soulful backing vocals to form the live show.
Knocking off the edges playing at Live at Leeds, The Great Escape and Reading and Leeds, a reputation for festivals is beginning to form.

Now on his 5th track release, throughout the succession of singles released so far, the ambition and scale of Ginger Snaps has grown in parallel with the reception from UK tastemakers and live fans.

Support from radio comes at nearly every corner, as well as being noticed by Clash, DIY & Dork across last year.
With an EP due early 2018 & a spring tour to play it out loudly, it's an exciting time to be as off kilter as Ginger Snaps.

James Welsh: 'Thread' Remixes On Phantasy

The EBM-indebted techno funk of James Welsh's 'Thread' re-emerges from the industrial fog, evolved into three outstanding remixes by a trio of rising and established artists.

Ozel AB delivers his debut remix, reimagining 'Thread' to encompass a widescreen vision of depth and drama. Unfolding slowly and ethereally, with military kicks holding down a seemingly weightless, extended breakdown, his taste in dreamlike rave euphoria contains the same magic touch as it has done on previous, acclaimed releases for Workshop and Lobster Theremin.

On his 'Garten' remix, Radio Slave takes a percussive approach to the relatively raw electronics of the original track, adding a deceptively simple but immediately effective layer of drums to the production, before unleashing a more filtered and fucked-up interpretation of the riff to winning effect.

Finally, FC Kahuna has been off-the-map for some time, but makes a triumphant return with a distinctive, playful and digital-exclusive take on 'Thread' that adds effective tension, whistling rave kettles and otherworldly distortion; a subtle, but masterful reimagining of Welsh's original recording.

PiL: 'The Public Image Is Rotten' Tour

To celebrate their 40th Anniversary, John Lydon's Public Image Ltd (PiL) are pleased to announce 'The Public Image is Rotten': UK/Europe + Japan Tour, kicking off in Bristol on 30th May.
Further PiL activity includes the release of a career spanning box set and a documentary of the same name, the latter of which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and then had its European premiere at London's Raindance Festival in 2017. Directed by Tabbert Fiiller, it will be released later this year in select cinemas.

The band's last tour was in 2016 and it was regarded by many as the best performances the band have ever played. The forthcoming 32-date headline UK/Europe leg of the tour also takes in festival performances in United Kingdom, Holland and Poland, including a headline set at Camden Rocks Festival in London on Saturday 2nd June. The tour also includes an as yet to be announced very special London date. Japanese dates to be confirmed soon along with some further UK/European dates.

In 2015 the band released their 10th studio album 'What The World Needs Now...' which followed the huge critical success of 2012's 'This is PiL', the band's first album in 17 years. 'What The World Needs Now...' peaked at #29 in the official UK album charts and picked up fantastic acclaim from both press and public. (The album also peaked at number 3 in the official UK indie charts and number 4 in the official UK vinyl charts). 'What The World Needs Now...' was self-funded by PiL and released on their own label 'PiL Official' via Cargo UK Distribution.

Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL's music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 singles and 5 UK Top 20 albums. With a shifting line-up and unique sound, John Lydon guided the band from their debut album 'First Issue' in 1978 through to 1992's 'That What Is Not'. After a 17 year hiatus, Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 by taking them back on the road worldwide.

John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL.
They are the longest stable line-up in the band's history.
