Relish Recordings presents the new single from Headman featuring Scott Fraser and Douglas McCarthy giving a taster of his artist album due later in the year…
Robi Insinna aka Headman pairs up with former Relish producer Scott Fraser of the so-called Scrutton Street Axis (along with likeminded tunesmiths Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J Fairplay who all work in the same basement studio) and Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas McCarthy who provides vocals.
Noise is a fierce and prickly brew of synthetic sounds, gurgling acid and heavyweight dubbed kick drums. The vocals of McCarthy add a nineties feel as he asks over and over if you “want some noise”. Sweaty, smoky, dirty basement disco might be a good way to describe it.
Robi Insinna Artist, DJ, producer and Relish Label owner helped forge the early 2000's disco-punk aesthetic with tracks such as It Rough, B.S.W.D. and many remixes under his Headman/Manhead alias. Relish still paints itself as somewhat of a project rather than a label, with a defined ethos, with special editions and visual. The label keeps busy discovering and releasing international talents.
