Sideshow began in 2003 with the release of ‘Sound Of Today’ on Simple, evolving into a deep broken percussive sound with lashings of melody. Sideshow’s grown alongside the success of his more established alter ego Fink (Ninja Tune), a well respected producer, remixer and DJ. The sound was born of a need to play pure dance music, initially created as the antithesis to the sample heavy, turntablist Ninja culture but drawing on the experience. ‘Sound of Today’ was followed in 2004 with ‘The Slide EP’, a delicious and twisted slice of deep percussive house, featuring the first remix by the Canadian tech lord Mathew Jonson. After Fink co-produced the Will Saul album “Space Between” for Simple and put his dub-blues Fink album to bed, Sideshow got back in the studio and comes straight back at us with his latest genre bending business, a fitting debut on Will Saul’s new experimental label Aus. Over the coming months he’s touring live with his band as Fink, creating new material for Mat Jonson’s Wagon Repair and for Aus.The ‘Scary Biscuits EP’ is three tracks of icy beats, broken house and dubstep brought together by Sideshows stripped back and delicious production. On ‘Polar Bear Dub’ the icy melody sparkles around a twisted limping beat with plenty of space in the mix to breath in the fresh arctic air. ‘Scary Biscuits’ is a warm but minimal workout with subtle melodies interplaying with the warm, deep bass and percussion. With a drop out to die for Sideshow’s customary emotive samples give the whole package the texture of butter. ‘You’ve Changed dub’ was inspired by (and grateful to) the original ‘you’ve changed’ by jazz legend Keith Jarret. Dubstep, jazz, live percussion in a fully live take, this track winds and grinds like a dub serpent around melodies and delays, breaking a full skank at the end when the melody shines through in dub. Brash at first, the subtleties shine with each listen. Remixing ‘Scary Biscuits, John Tejada’s rework flows back and forth, between good...2006!
