Super Six: Silly Names
We look at some super spoonierisms in this month's Super six..
What’s in a name? Good ones add a certain something to the finest artists, bad ones do even the most prodigious talents harm, whilst most monikers garner no reaction at all. Recently, though, a trend has emerged for celebrity spoonerisms, where letters or vowel sounds are switched for ‘hilarious’ results. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t… here come a list of six for you to decide about…
Joy Orbison
Arguably the one that started it all, Pete O’Grady is probably the most successful of all the spooneristic producers out there today… from bass to house to garage, he’s roaming free stylistically with scant reference to his namesake.
Jodie Harsh
Only recently has drag act Jodie started producing but before that he/she has promoted parties around London and the UK, DJing at places like Lovebox at the same time.
Com Truise
Seth Haley is the New Jersey man behind this moniker, and only recently did he release his first music – namely a full length entitled Galatic Melt on Ghostly International. Synthy, computer and like a mature older brother of Chillwave, it’s worth checking out…
Eltron John
Poland’s Eltron John has appeared on Catz & Dogz’ Pet Recordings label with his deep house and disco, super slow beatdown greatness which always relies on massive grooves to suck you right in.
Jichael Mackson
Since 2003 Jicahel Mackson has released on liebe*detail, Stock5 and more, plying a dub techno, house and pop bent with his sounds. The Munich man doesn’t care much for the perception if his records, as such freeing him up to make some of the most freeform sounds around.
Glenn Wobble
Glenn Wobble (a play on ex England manager Glenn Hoddle in case you didn’t work it out) is an emerging bass producer about which little is known… keep an ear out an remember you heard it here first
