Cardiff's Toby Newman aka Oddskool and Simon BitBasic return with their first new material on Machine Records since 2010's Cygnet Wallop EP.
It's hard to classify these tracks. I could say it's like following the adventures of a spirited troop of beret-wearing clowns who use a yo-yo to break into Tesco's and steal nothing but Marmite, then fall through a trans-dimensional portal into a coral world and live happily among the sea-snails on the alien planet Xylon 8.... but you'd probably think that's a bit over the top. At first.
ABOUT ODDSKOOL
As Oddskool, Toby released two singles and an exceptional album on Machine Records back in 2006. He's got an amazing live show and has supported Chris Clark (Warp).
He's also collaborated with BitBasic on Test Pilot records and one of his early songs was played by John Peel as a demo, before it appeared on Machine Music 2.
ABOUT BITBASIC
"London-based Bitbasic aka. Simon Haycock, has released several EPs and albums through other netlabels such as Monotonik, Rec72 and Testpilot Music before; Bitbasic started his musical adventures at the age of 15. Playing out with a laptop and 40h monome, Simon uses his self-written software ‘dj64′ which models a mixer and two turntables virtually.
"As the music magazine Drowned in Sound has coined Bitbasic’s virtuosity “in nodding to the likes of Nathan Fake, Four Tet and Paul White among others, Haycock is [...]bringing together equally excellent and equally diverse genres and wedding them into a sound distinctly his own.” - FMA
