This may be old news to many of you but I personally never tire of watching this. Moodymann is a favorite here at Slow cookin and this is a rare interview/lecture with the man himself from the people at the redbull music academy.
1 and a half hours long but stick with it as this is Kenny Dixon Jnr at his enigmatic best!
Honorary props to his hair wench too....whats that all about!!

For the people of Huddersfield KSD is about the only credible outlet for underground electronic music, it’s an iregular and one off soirée held in the comfortable surrounding’s of Verve Bar. Past guests have included Neil Scott(El Diablos Social), Cosmic Boogie & boxing day regular Greg Wilson. These party’s are really something special and myself n Frase are pretty proud to play at a few of them. The night is run by our good friend Jamie “Fatneck” Low who is a regular as Space in Ibiza for the We Love party’s, and this Saturday he welcomes fellow We Love pals and the sort after PBR Streetgang (asylum, 2020 vision). PBR Steetgang have been chugging along very nicely for the past few year gathering a lot of respect and gaining a lot of booth scalps playing at place such as Space, M.O.S, Below, Asylum, Garden fest(Croatia) & many many more. We had chance to catch up with PBR’S Tom Thorpe as we do here at Slow Cookin’.
So Tom your one half of PBR how did you and Bonar meet??
I met Bonar around twelve years ago in Birmingham. I had moved down to work for a club/promoter organising tours and djing. I befriended him through visiting a record shop. Most dj's would hang out at this one place on a Saturday, listening and buying tunes. Bonar and i had really similar taste, so got we chatting. The rest is history. You’ve both now secured a foot in the scene has it been a hard ride??and where did it all start?
I don't think it's particularly easy these days making a living and a career from this industry. We've both been doing it a long time, and worked hard for it. Our first gig playing together was in 2003 at the old 'Northern Light' in Leeds where we booked and ended up playing with X press 2. We both really enjoyed it and got some great feedback, so decided we'd keep with that format. With releases on 2020 vision, Wolf Music & E.A.R already what else do you guys have in the pipeline?
There is a lot coming out over the next few months...
(You can listen to PBR Streetgangs tackle on there soundcloud page)
You’ve got a busy calendar any particular gig’s your looking forward too??
The summer is shaping up to be a really good one again. Playing for 'We Love' at Space, Ibiza is definitely one of the highlights. The 'Garden' festival in Croatia has become pretty special too. Berlin looks like it will happen again soon, love that place. You are also responsible for the Asylum parties,will we be seeing anymore of those in the near future??
Yeah, at the minute i'm concentrating on the 'Garden parties' which take place on the bank holidays, May 1st, May 29th, and August 28th at the Faversham in Leeds. Over the five years of doing them they have almost turned into mini festivals, and take up a lot of my time. Asylum ran for a long time doing parties in all over ?? What’s you fondest memory or memories??
I have loads of great memories. Throughout the years of putting on acts i now have my favorite dj's. But my fondest moments are form the the mint club itself. I love that club, it's really special. There is no place like it for me. I made a lot a friends a long the way, which i'm grateful for.Quickies?
Fave record at the moment?
soundstream number 5
You hate it when???
djing in a bar and a pissed up person tells you to "pick it up a bit", or "have you got..." Tool!!!!
Best excuse you’ve ever heard for anything?
a friend of mine used the line "i got attacked by a squirrel" to excuse himself from work. bold!
Slow cookin or fast food?
got to be slow cookin. x
Cheers Tom...

Last week a good friend of ours here at SC released his debut E,P on respected label Outcross Records owned by rising star Miguel Campbell. Outcross Records is personally a favorite of mine. Its flavour is always well produced tackle with a seaoning of French /disco sprinkled on top for good measure.
We spoke to Iain to give us a few words and explain what the E.P is all about.
OK, so the first track made for the Ep, I’ll Come Running, was actually made back in summer 2010. I got the idea after hearing and old song on Radio 2. I did a bit of searching, found the name, and took it down to the Outcross Records Studio. The idea for the track was fairly instant, and from then on everything flowed. A few alterations by Miguel and myself were made this year before the final release.
The second track, Radiovox, was an idea I came up with even longer ago than the first one! I started it in early 2010, it was then left until earlier this year. I took the parts down to the studio, the bass line was re-programmed, and it was pretty much done! I had also heard the original song, of the acapella used in this track on Radio 2, hence the “Radiovox” name of the Ep…..you gotta love Radio 2!
I’d like to thank Matt Hughes for the artwork, Dean Gatenby and Danny Matthews for the photography, and Miguel Campbell for all his help over the past few years……Thank you.
My next release should by out around Easter time on Outcross Records, so keep a look out…..
Here's also a couple of mixies from Iain for you guys to check out..
You can also catch Iain playing alongside Slow Cookin' residents Challis & Frase on the Deprived boat party 31st july 2011-info down the side of the page.
