Darren ▒█░ ░█▒ Decoder - aka Darren Beale - played and wrote music for years in ▒█░ ░█▒ various punk bands at school in Weston-Super-Mare, always ▒█░ ░█▒ recording their efforts and so developing a simultaneous ▒█░ ░█▒ interest in the production side. When he went to university in ▒█░ ░█▒ 1989, though, he realised something was missing. ▒█░ ░█▒ I was getting bored of the sound of the guitar, he remembers. I ▒█░ ░█▒ was putting it through so many effects and pedals that it wasn't ▒█░ ░█▒ even sounding like a guitar any more anyway. ▒█░ ░█▒ His salvation came in the form of a young Geoff Barrow, future ▒█░ ░█▒ founder of Portishead. ▒█░ ░█▒ When I met Geoff, he introduced me more to the electronic side ▒█░ ░█▒ of music. What he showed me with samplers and stuff just blew me ▒█░ ░█▒ away! Id never seen that before. ▒█░ ░█▒ Spellbound, Darren sold his guitar, bought an Atari and a ▒█░ ░█▒ sampler and never looked back. ▒█░ ░█▒ That was at the same time that the whole rave scene was going ▒█░ ░█▒ off which had a big impact on me as well. I loved Orbital and ▒█░ ░█▒ 808 State, so I started writing lots of electronica and got a ▒█░ ░█▒ deal really early. Then I used to write hardcore stuff for raves ▒█░ ░█▒ and then did some really ambient drum n bass like LTJ Bukem ▒█░ ░█▒ before I started Djing at raves and parties with Markee in ▒█░ ░█▒ Bristol. I followed the whole path of electronica really. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Together, Darren and former Glaswegian indie kid Markee ▒█░ ░█▒ Substance created the seminal Ruffneck Ting club nights around ▒█░ ░█▒ Bristol and the South West. Raised on The Smiths, Echo and The ▒█░ ░█▒ Bunnymen and, later, Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, Markee ▒█░ ░█▒ became instrumental in the burgeoning drum n bass scene. It ▒█░ ░█▒ literally was a few people in a pub with a couple of decks. It's ▒█░ ░█▒ been over ten years since that pub gig! ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ The pair soon got to know, Sian Evans. Brought up in a small ▒█░ ░█▒ town in South Wales, Sian had left home at 16 and moved to ▒█░ ░█▒ Cardiff to escape, living in squats and friends houses while ▒█░ ░█▒ working several jobs at once and travelling to parties and ▒█░ ░█▒ festivals all over the country. At the height of the rave scene, ▒█░ ░█▒ in 1991, she gave birth to her son, Yves, and was forced to ▒█░ ░█▒ reassess her priorities. For the next four years, Sian and her ▒█░ ░█▒ son split their time between environmental protests like Newbury ▒█░ ░█▒ and working at summer festivals. It was all she needed to give ▒█░ ░█▒ her a taste for living outdoors and so in 1996, Sian moved into ▒█░ ░█▒ a tepee on a travellers site in the Brechfa forest for nine ▒█░ ░█▒ months. ▒█░ ░█▒ I just thought it looked like a lovely way to live, she says, ▒█░ ░█▒ and I wanted to give him the freedom to run around and have some ▒█░ ░█▒ amazing memories. At night, after Yves went to bed, Sian passed ▒█░ ░█▒ the time by writing songs. Despite being brought up writing ▒█░ ░█▒ poetry and listening to Welsh folk music and Joni Mitchell, it ▒█░ ░█▒ was the first time Sian had felt moved to create music. ▒█░ ░█▒ I used to keep diaries as a kid and turn them into poems and ▒█░ ░█▒ I've found that writing is better than talking sometimes. It's ▒█░ ░█▒ always been a great way to getting things off my chest. ▒█░ ░█▒ Realising her future lay with these songs -in fact, most of them ▒█░ ░█▒ went on to form the tracks on KosheenÆs debut album, Resist - ▒█░ ░█▒ she soon moved back to Bristol to find someone to play them ▒█░ ░█▒ with. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Enter Darren and Markee. I hadn't even taken my coat off in the ▒█░ ░█▒ studio and I was writing songs with them, though I was quite ▒█░ ░█▒ nervous to begin with. Until I was with Kosheen, I didn't think ▒█░ ░█▒ of myself as a songwriter. I knew I could sing but I didn't have ▒█░ ░█▒ a lot of faith in my writing. I just thought it was something I ▒█░ ░█▒ did for me. I was told once when I was working with my first ▒█░ ░█▒ band in Cardiff when I was 15 that I was just a singer and I ▒█░ ░█▒ should stand in the background and wiggle my arse. That scarred ▒█░ ░█▒ me for long time actually. With Kosheen, I'd sing stuff to ▒█░ ░█▒ Markee and he'd say it was beautiful. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ As a trio, the band learned they could combine their respective ▒█░ ░█▒ loves of rock, hip-hop, jazz, drum n bass and folk and still ▒█░ ░█▒ create songs with a heart. I love songs! Sian states simply. ▒█░ ░█▒ Songs that start, have a middle, and end. People were expecting ▒█░ ░█▒ little loops and quirky vocals and they got full songs. You can ▒█░ ░█▒ put too much in a track. You can have a busy vocal, or you can ▒█░ ░█▒ have a busy track, but if you put two together it's just noise ▒█░ ░█▒ to me. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ The world agreed they were something special. Kosheen's ▒█░ ░█▒ compelling, anthemic track Hide U reached number 6 in the UK, ▒█░ ░█▒ while Catch hit number 15 and Hungry reached number 13. The ▒█░ ░█▒ accompanying album, Resist, went on to reach number 8 in the UK ▒█░ ░█▒ and made the top 30 in Australia, The Netherlands, Belgium and ▒█░ ░█▒ Greece. It has since sold half a million copies worldwide. ▒█░ ░█▒ I remember being in Vienna waiting to hear how our album had ▒█░ ░█▒ done, begins Sian. We really wanted it to go well. The boys came ▒█░ ░█▒ into the dressing room and told me to guess the position. I said ▒█░ ░█▒ 15. They said no, lower. And I went oh no.. 20? And they were ▒█░ ░█▒ going, no! Lower the other way! It went in at number 9 and I ▒█░ ░█▒ think I burst into tears! I couldn't believe it. ▒█░ ░█▒ I nearly fell over, Darren adds. It was so weird. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Hide U won Best Remix at the Muzik Dance Awards and Record of ▒█░ ░█▒ The Year at the Dancestar USA Awards in Miami. It wasn't an ▒█░ ░█▒ overnight thing, Markee explains. Word of mouth played a massive ▒█░ ░█▒ part and I have this theory that people actually do appreciate ▒█░ ░█▒ quality things. We've always said that, at the end of the day, ▒█░ ░█▒ if you put your heart into your music, if you're feeling it, ▒█░ ░█▒ then you've got a chance that someone else will feel it too. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Ignoring the accepted protocol that dictates dance acts don't ▒█░ ░█▒ play live, Kosheen then set off on tour. With their debut album ▒█░ ░█▒ (now Platinumselling) Resist this equated to an impressive 141 ▒█░ ░█▒ shows in 33 countries to an audience of over a million. I cut my ▒█░ ░█▒ teeth on pub gigs in Wales, Sian says, so I really wanted to get ▒█░ ░█▒ the music of Kosheen represented live. The songs really ▒█░ ░█▒ translated because they're very melodic. A lot of them were ▒█░ ░█▒ written on the guitar and we can actually do most of them ▒█░ ░█▒ unplugged too. When you strip a song down like that and it still ▒█░ ░█▒ works, you know it's a good song. A lot of people are surprised ▒█░ ░█▒ when they go into the gig and see a full band set up with a drum ▒█░ ░█▒ kit and everything. But no one's been disappointed. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ In fact, crowds of up to 17,000 have since seen the band play in ▒█░ ░█▒ Europe, Australia, South Africa, Asia, even America where fans ▒█░ ░█▒ who had only heard Kosheen via Napster knew all the lyrics ▒█░ ░█▒ before anything had ever officially been played there. The LA ▒█░ ░█▒ Times went so far as to proclaim the band one of four hot new ▒█░ ░█▒ electronica acts to watch for. In summer 2001, Kosheen further ▒█░ ░█▒ cemented their reputation as a world-class live act by ▒█░ ░█▒ performing to a 20,000-strong crowd in Serbia, the first ▒█░ ░█▒ international band to do so since the trouble in the Balkans. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ On the plane on the way over there we were all looking at each ▒█░ ░█▒ other going why the fuck are we going to Yugoslavia? Markee ▒█░ ░█▒ grins. We didn't have a clue what to expect. And suddenly there ▒█░ ░█▒ was 20,000 people all singing Catch back at us. Me and Sian just ▒█░ ░█▒ looked at each other on stage as if to say, fucking hell! What's ▒█░ ░█▒ going on?! ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Inevitably while on tour, Kosheen turned their attention to ▒█░ ░█▒ their second album. Enthused by the incredible reception they ▒█░ ░█▒ had received live, they began writing songs with that in mind, ▒█░ ░█▒ tracks they knew would sound great on stage. The resulting ▒█░ ░█▒ record - named Kokopelli after the North American Indian symbol ▒█░ ░█▒ of fertility, individuality and music - was a hypnotic, intimate ▒█░ ░█▒ collection of songs from the soul. It became Kosheen's highest ▒█░ ░█▒ UK charting LP, going in at number 6 and helped earn them their ▒█░ ░█▒ second Brit Award nomination. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ Darren said I think it's harder and darker than the last album, ▒█░ ░█▒ and a lot more personal too. There are more guitars in there too ▒█░ ░█▒ but it's not your standard rock album. We've taken elements of ▒█░ ░█▒ rock and all different types of music, which we enjoy and fused ▒█░ ░█▒ it all together to come up with something slightly different. I ▒█░ ░█▒ don't ever want people to expect anything from us. ▒█░ ░█▒ Crucially, while the music sounded darker and more apocalyptic, ▒█░ ░█▒ Sian's lyrics grew more personal, as she revealed herself track ▒█░ ░█▒ by track. While the bleak Recovery told of a feeling of not ▒█░ ░█▒ fitting in, coupled with excess of drugs or alcohol, All In My ▒█░ ░█▒ Head, the first single released from Kokopelli and going ▒█░ ░█▒ straight into the chart at number 7, was the ultimate long ▒█░ ░█▒ distance love song, inspired by a phone conversation between ▒█░ ░█▒ Sian and her own partner, describing the lover who may be ▒█░ ░█▒ physically distant but can always be present in your mind. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ After sell- out UK and European tours promoting Kokopelliö, ▒█░ ░█▒ Kosheen have been back in the studio to work on their third ▒█░ ░█▒ Album. This album, "Damage", is shaping up to be a perfect ▒█░ ░█▒ amalgamation of the unique electronica elements of Resistö and ▒█░ ░█▒ the guitar-rock of Kokopelli. New tracks, Guilty and Overkill, ▒█░ ░█▒ have been previewed at all the major UK and European Festivals ▒█░ ░█▒ over the summer and already have the audience singing-along to ▒█░ ░█▒ them. ▒█░ ░█▒ ▒█░ ░█▒ The new album, "Damage" featuring "Guilty" & "Overkill" is due ▒█░ ░█▒ for release in 2007 ▒█░ ▒██▄ ▄██▒ ▄██▓█▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█▓██▄ ▄▀ ▓▒█▓▓█▒▀▀▀▀▀▀ [GROUPNOTES] ▀▀▀▀▀▀▒█▓▓█▒▓ ▀▄ ░ ▄████▓░ ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ░▓████▄ ░ ░ ▄██▒██░░ ░░██▒██▄ ░ ▄▀ ▓█▒░ FWYH : FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD, We're all about Family ░▒█▓ ▀▄ ▓█▓░ Dedication, Quality, Respect & LOVE for the music! ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ As the years passes,all our motives and objectives ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ remain,we want to give the best on dark electronic ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ genres,with the quality deserved for the only true ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ underground scene,the future might be these genres ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ To all the artists that we release, some newcomers ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ & other established acts: We are sorry if you dont ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ understand the promotion we do, of your own work, ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ but if your music is full of quality,we are pretty ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ sure that a lot of people will spend their money ░▓█▓ ▓█▓░ on your art.
