RED - SEEN - OUT 3rd MARCH 2008 on DEALMAKER RECORDS

RED

‘SEEN’

RELEASE DATE: 3RD MARCH 2008

‘Seen’ is the debut single from the turntable wonderkid Red on Nottingham based, Dealmaker Records. Already described by BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens as a “scratching-beatboxing genius”, ‘Seen’ is set to propel Red to new heights as it will accompany the brand new Sony PSP advert.

A completely unique concept, the original version of the track was created entirely by scratching - from the drums to the riffs all the way to the melodies - everything is scratched. You can watch Red create the track completely live on his Myspace.

Full Fat is Red's live band. Initially the group formed to recreate ‘Seen’ live, along with a few other tracks from Red’s back catalogue. Now the band has a sound and repertoire of its own. This 12" features a Full Fat version of ‘Seen’, recorded at Rockfield Studios.

Red personally asked the zero cool Kids in Tracksuits to remix the track as he felt their style would suit the spirit of the tune, and a sterling job they did making the track their own with their unmistakable style of fat, baggy basslines and melodic blips.

Red’s ‘Playsatan Version’ is a big, electro-dancefloor cut, a slice of which is to feature on the Sony PSP global TV and cinema advertising campaign throughout 2008.

Live: Red has a heap of shows coming up in 2008 including a Full Fat session at the BBC’s Maida Vale for Huw Stephens and support slots for the Audio Bullys - keep a check of his Myspace to catch Red and the Full Fat live band in a town near you.

"It's an innovative blend of turntablism and downtempo music, entirely made up from scratches. Very inventive, very musical, and an inspiration to everyone cutting away on turntables." – DJ Yoda
