    Tim Burgess on vox on this track! It’s brilliant.

    Freebass Peter Hook “You Don’t Know This About Me ” Andy Rourke Gary Mounfield Phil Murphy Nat Watson Paul Kehoe Hacienda Records 24HourServiceStation
    FreeBass “You Don’t Know This About Me” from the debut EP – Two Worlds Collide

    Finally: the FreeBass EP you thought you’d never see & thought you’d never hear!

    24 Hour Service Station is thrilled to announce a worldwide distribution deal with Peter Hook’s new record label,
    Haçienda Records UK! Two Worlds Collide, the second release from Hacienda Records UK, is the long awaited, much anticipated and often rumored debut FreeBass EP.

    Peter Hook (bass) – New Order & Joy Division
    Andy Rourke (guitar) – The Smiths
    Gary Mounfield (bass) – The Stone Roses & Primal Scream
    Nat Watson (guitar)
    Phil Murphy (keyboards & programming) Man Ray
    Paul Kehoe (drums)

    Two Worlds Collide brings together famous guest vocalists including Tim Burgess (Charlatans UK), Pete Wylie (The Mighty Wah!), Howard Marks (Mr Nice) and band mainstay Peter Hook across the EPs six tracks.

    FreeBass, originally born out of a conversation between Mancunian bass legends Mani, Hooky and Rourkie some five years ago has been through a long gestation process, with Hooky originally auditioning vocalists like an indie Simon Cowell. Finding the right lead singer originally proved arduous so Mani suggested that the band approached their famous friends to contribute vocals with Howard, Tim and Pete all responding to the call.

    Opening the EP is Tim Burgess contribution, “You Don’t Know This About Me”, a melodic & dramatically epic tune. A bass line reminiscent of New Order’s first single “Ceremony” surrounds Tim”s vocal, which he wrote and recorded from his home in LA.

    “I think FreeBass is a great band for bass players, a great concept no-one else has done, and there are three really strong characters there that’ve all played in extremely brilliant bands.” – Tim Burgess of Charlatans UK

    To date, disco savants Holy Ghost! have released a total of two original songs. When their new EP ‘Static On The Wire’ drops, that number will increase to seven, including the elegantly taut “Say My Name,” which is essentially a six-and-a-half-minute time machine ride to Times Square circa 1980. And people say quality control is dead.

    Okay guys, feast your ears on this. My pal Danny McLewin is one half of this über-talented duo, Psychemagik.
    They are currently recording their debut album in their remote Cosmic Forest studio, set deep into the Garden Of England.

    When they’re not lost in beats at their country cabin, they can often be found deejaying in various London clubs and pubs.
    Consisting of two producer/dj’s who both have roots in warehouse parties and underground clubs, their vast and varied record collection is reflected in the melting pot of sounds that blend a delirious mish mash of balearic, folk, electronics, live orchestras, afro disco-isms, vocoders, monster beats and funky psychedelic intros…..

    This SoundCloud page of theirs is jam-packed with amazing electronic music to stream and download. If there’s a downwards-facing black arrow, it’s downloadable.
    I haven’t been as excited about anyone in dance music for a long time…
    They’re going to be a smash. You heard it here first…

    This video is simply awesome… see for yourselves.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWCRsMeVhXs
