Biography b. Zoe Pollock, Peckham, London, England. Zoe made a huge impact in 1991 with the release of her debut single, "Sunshine On A Rainy Day", a perfect Europop cover version that went to number 4 in the UK charts. It had originally been released a year earlier when it reached the Top 60. However, subsequent efforts "Lightning" and "Holy Days" fared poorly. When her solo debut also flopped, she found herself in conflict with her label bosses over the extensive personal appearances she was required to perform at tawdry discos throughout Europe, and the relationship almost collapsed. Pollock had joined her first band, the soul outfit Cacique, after leaving stage school aged 16. She eventually regrouped in 1995 and began working on new tracks with her partner Youth, whom she first met while auditioning for Brilliant at his Butterfly Studios in Brixton. When she presented these to her record company M&G Records, new A&R director Jack Steven was impressed, and arranged for a concurrent US release of the album by RCA Records. Most of the instruments on Hammer were played by Youth, though the duo's emotional relationship had sundered during the sessions - leaving Youth doubtlessly wondering at whom some of the more pointed lyrics were aimed. Rather than the slightly sickly pop of her debut, Hammer comprised a number of bittersweet lyrics and harsh vignettes, typified by "Love Is The Beast" and the title track. Zoe's interest in the ethnic music of Ireland and India was also well represented in the Buddhist mantra "R.A.M" and "Down The Mountain". "The Lion Roars", meanwhile, was written in tandem with Anthony Thistlewaite, formerly of the Waterboys, and co-produced by revered Irish producer Donal Lunny in Dublin with Davy Spillane contributing uilleann pipes. Meanwhile Zoë had embarked on a world of new opportunity, living in India, Sicily, Ibiza, Brazil and the USA, becoming a talented sculptor and potter and studying herbal medicine and yoga – all the while continuing to write music and collaborating with other artists. Under the alias Hephzibah Broom, she released an EP on the Manchester underground folk label Red Deer Records. The original free spirit, Zoë is now back in the UK, happily rooted near Land’s End in wild west Cornwall in a windswept cottage by the sea. In 2008, Zoë finally reclaimed her landmark song. Recorded in the Chyglidden studio of Irish sculptor Tim Shaw near the small Cornish village of Mabe, the single features the same four-piece lineup as the ensuing album – Zoë, Sarah, Tiffany and Jarvis, all of whom also appear on the video version of the song, which was filmed by Stephen Jarvis in and around Falmouth, on the Cornish coast.
Majik And Andy S.
Biography RYDEMSPLURT Rydemsplurt (Rydemflirt, Riddimflirt), started out in 1989 as a reggae/ragga mc on ROOTS OPERATOR SOUND (establ. 1977), has then done several recordings with reggae, soul and happy-hardcore/jungle artists and produced some of his own. Did a demo on a jungle riddim in '92 but did not pay too much attention to it. Worked with the RAGGA TWINS on a gig of theirs in 1993. From then on, his interest in jungle/drum&bass increased. That same year the swiss tv station realized a report including artists like GANGLORDS, SNOW, SPEEDYMAN&YASTA plus RIDDIMFLIRT. In 1994 he joined also the DEX SMASHER POSSE which was one of the first jungle outfits for Switzerland. Until more mcs surfaced he was the only mc for jungle in his area and town (as most people actually did'nt knew what it was about), always catching up with new music as it happened before it growed commercially successful. Did also some hip-hop recordings f.e. with a crew called MAMA NATUA. Played Italy, Austria, England, Germany and everywhere [literally] in Switzerland. In Jamaica 1993, some dubs recorded. Act for Reggae-Sunsplash Italy (ROTOTOM, biggest reggae festival for europe) in 1995. Since 1994 he mcs for the likes of DJ EVOL, LED TAMPI, DJ S-S, RAP, MICKEY FINN, several german DJs, KROME&TIME, DJ TWILIGHT, DJ BALEY, BAD COMPANY, STORM, HIDDEN AGENDA, MINUS 8, VIOLA, ED RUSH, FINE STYLE, METROPOLITAN BASS SCIENTISTS (a Birmingham/Zurich Producer/DJ outfit), WILDCHILD, MAD B., DU LAIT, TENSIONSTATE KRU, MARKY&PATIFE, KLUTE, DAMAGE, REMARC, ANDY C, SHIMON, AKA, DREADY, MOVING FUSION, DJ FADER and many others. In 1998 a record release party of Rydemsplurt had NINJA MAN and SKARRA MUCCI as special guests on stage. Has most definitly helped building up the scene actively and stands nowadays as the original jungle mc for Switzerland. He has linked up with the TENSIONSTATE KRU in 1998, became a member in 1999 and became one of the most called for artists at the organization. He has recently linked up with DJ JORDANA (U.S.) and as talks are now, a european date or tour is planned for end of this year or beginning of next year. In 2000, after taking some sort of a break (still mcing on wknds) and working about 5 years in the private economy to gain experience in proper project management (which is the main lack within musicians), Rydemsplurt is working on a new project/group named IMPARTIAL KEEPERS[tm] (which he designed as his vision from scratch, bringing all the people together, management tasks, etc.) with a rasta singer from Jamaica and a rapper from Haiti. Involved there are swiss/italian dub/reggae musicians. A jungle mix for the first song is on schedule now, but the reggae production must be finished first. Apart from that he will probably be instrumental in helping to promote a SOS-childrenvillage effort/project (incl. Fabienne Marquard (CH), Shaggy (JA/U.S.) and Shaggie Williams (FL, U.S.)) in Switzerland. 2003: Rydemsplurt's just recorded a dub plate for swiss hip hop DJ MALIK (playaz club) which is generally more hardcore this time around since that suits this particular DJ's style. 2004: Rydemsplurt's back from England where he in January has recorded a killer dancehall tune with DADDY FREDDY, SPYDA DON, RYDEMSPLURT, BOMMA, BILLY RUCKUS appearing on a hectic, ruff vibe called the JIHAD riddim. Other artists will now voice this riddim composed by BANKRUP (Dubversive Sound System). We are in negotiation with some of the top JA and UK names in dancehall. It will then be shopped to the companies for a deal. He's - at the same time - busy co-producing and voicing a dnb album with one of the top US dnb producer/composer/musicians. After being severely underrated in Switzerland (he's quit his booking agency after earlier telling them not to book any more gigs for him in Switzerland as he's not feeling the scene there) surprisingly he's well received internationally with good reviews for his sound links in places like Toronto and Seattle, Washington, L.A., New York, Pittsburgh... etc... UK: South End, Essex, Croydon London, Nottingham, Cardiff...etc., Sweden: Stockholm.. Thailand: Nonthaburi, Krung thep... China: Shandong, Shanghai... He's also well busy managing top rap act DREAD EVENT. The management contract with these artists is not even running a year now and - as it seems now - a deal will soon be negotiated. This being a direct result of Rydemsplurt's strong determination. Just not getting bitter by the lack of support, it proves again that good music, can - if believed in - win over hype. Quotes::: 'I recognize talent when I hear it.' (JORDANA - US dnb pioneer of 1.8.7 greatness, 2003) 'You're an amazing MC.' (TALVIN SINGH - one of UK asian music's principal performers, 2003) Q: 'What do you think about the MC scene overseas?' A: 'Some of them are good. There's a few from Canada that have got potential. Their not really rollers, more on a host, GQ kind of flex. There's a guy I met in Switzerland called Rydemsplurt he's been into the Ragga for years and has a good d&b Ragga flow, but I think it's hard for MCs to make an impact over here; even our MCs can't really do it.' (MC EKSMAN - 3 times breakthrough MC at the ACCELERATED CULTURE Awards, best newcomer at DRUM and BASS ARENA Awards and most talked about dnb MC in 2002/2003. From interview with ATM Magazine [printed version], Issue 58, 2003)
