Q:
You've got quite a few of
breakbeat's "heavyweights"
already on board with the likes
of Terminalhead and PFN, how did
all that come
about?
A:
Terminalhead have always been on
the cards if I got a label
together or rather I've always
loved them so they were first
choice for me. Minuteman (now
Fatliners) came up to us at
Bedrock and handed an acetate of
'Lo Life' to Terminalhead and I
loved it and had to sign them.
PFN record for 10 Kilo but Ronnie
from the group is doing an album
project under the name Stir Fry
for us. I've always loved his
production and he's a great bloke
and was also on my list of
'wants'.
Q:
Who else have you got involved -
who's on the roster so
far?
A:
There are two others that I'm
looking at but we'll see how it
goes with them. The idea is that
everyone commits to an album, I
don't want to do too many one off
single releases if
possible.
Q:
Have you signed up anyone who we
possibly won't have heard of yet?
ie, have you discovered any new
talent which you're going to
unleash on us?!
A:
No comment ;-)
Q:
I know from previous
conversations with you, that you
are very much into pushing breaks
towards a much wider audience
than it is usually associated
with - is this going to be the
"ethos" of
Kilowatt?
A:
Yes, with everyone working with
vocals at some stage and everyone
doing albums, I really want to be
pushing for serious radio support
at some stage in the not too
distant future!
Q:
So what are your other main aims
and ambitions for the
label?
A:
As said, develop the artists,
give them a home where they feel
part of something and move the
whole thing forward.
Q:
You're obviously the man with a
plan, so when can we expect the
first album on
Kilowatt?!
A:
The first artists album will be
from Terminalhead in the new year
with a couple of compilations
planned for later on and then
Fatliners and Stir Fry albums
later!
Q:
Are you planning an artist album
of your own for the near
future?
A:
Yes I am looking into it, I'd
really like to move ahead with
that in the new year as
well.
Q:
It sounds like Kilowatt is going
to be quite a progressive label,
what kind of producers are you
going to get on board for remix
duties? - Are you going to go
with harder edge breaks or
possibly house?
A:
It won't matter if theyre harder
production wise or Proggy or
whatever as long as they fit with
the overall sound of the label.
We already have a remix by False
Prophet (aka PMT) of the first
Stir Fry single (Breakin On The
Streets) and a Bedrock mix of
Terminalhead in the pipeline.
Both of which are
stunning!
Q:
Are you planning a big launch
party or tour to kick off the
label?
A:
We'll be about you can count on
that. The main launch will
hopefully be at Bedrock but look
out for the Kilowatt/Acetate Ltd
night called 'Twister' starting
up in the new year at Turnmills.
It's looking likely.
