Next up in the saga of unreleased tracks /demos / projects is this version of Onwards Vultures, the penultimate track on Let The Night Roar
I was lucky enough to work with local heroes Regolith, who worked from a beat i provided adding guitars and all manner of messed up processing business. This track is one of the process-a-pellas the guys sent over from one of the two versions of the track, the final album track is an edit of these two versions splice together.

Also the new edition of free press magazine Stool Pigeon is out now and contains a more wordy feature on me, i’ve yet to see it but if the pleasant and lengthy phone chat is anything to go by it will be very informative. If anyone happens on a copy please let me know!
Thanks to all those who came and enjoyed my set last weekend. I don’t think i’ve ever had a longer or louder amount of applause at the end of my set! So long i even had time to route around in my bag, find my camera and record some of it. You’ll find that on my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/kingcannibal along with a few pictures of the night
Otto, Audio, Black Sun Empire, Hexstatic … .what is not to go crazy for??
This will be the second time i’ve played out with BSE & Audio (i was sandwiched between their sets recently at PRSPCT XL9) and the second time i have played in Belgium. The first time was WAY back in late 2003, my first paid gig outside of the UK. I’m then back on Sunday the 18th October alongside The Bug at De Kreun, Kortrijk.
KING CANNIBAL TYPES…
This is a radio rip of my remix of The Prodigy’s Take Me To The Hospital remix from a couple of months back. I was asked to do it ‘on spec’ (words that make me shudder) and got played out by Eddy Temple Morris (who’s Losers remix can be found on the digital release) on The Remix on XFM.
It has come in for a fair amount of hate from hardened Prodigy fans, as a lot of remixes of them seem to do, and didn’t get picked up for the official release. Maybe i could have done things differently but what would the point be of remixing a big act and watering down your sound. Yes it may get picked up, your wallet a little fuller but a large amount of people would get their first listen to a diluted version of the sound you are offering – this is my eyes is not making a good first impression.
On the other hand though i’m proud to say i have completed a remix of Two Fingers ‘Bad Girl’ featuring Ce’cile and Sway which will be out in a few months. Its very much a continuation of the bass heavy hiphop exploration i took with my Qemists remix.

Check out this months edition of Clash magazine to find an article written by myself on Japanese ‘pink cinema’. I often think if i had more time on my hands i’d like to set up a film blog taking about bad films i’ve seen and the odd obscure gems. Who knows maybe if this all goes to pot i may well do, but until then these are my first cinema thoughts to hit the printing press.

Here are a couple of videos i took over the course of last weekend. First up we have a slice of Ebola rocking the dancefloor at another amazing [dissident] event, followed by a bit i took talking on Wrong Music Radio with Ebola, Simply Red fan Judith Priest and Sorry (out of shot).
SPYKIDELIC REMINISCES…
Quirky was a night I co-promoted with James Bignell and was resident DJ at for almost 2 years from 1993 – 1995. It took place at the Vox club a large warehouse space in Brixton. Acts booked to play included Autechre, Pan Sonic, Laika, Global Communication, Aphex Twin and Hafler Trio. The flyers were done by Paul Nicholson who designed the original Aphex logo and the album sleeve for Selected Ambient Works Vol. II. They were good times. (Thanks to Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) for uploading this flyer)

You can catch me in studio for The Wrong Music Radio Show on Monday the 4th of May alongside hosts Ebola, Sorry & Judith Priest. I think i’ll be doing a little live set along with dropping some new tunes of mine. The show will also have a recording of Warlock’s set from this coming Dissident this Saturday. You can check it out by tuning into soundartradio.org.uk and click on listen live. Or if you live in the Totnes area you can tune into 102.5fm. Show time is 10pm – midnight.

Dissident parties are always stone cold killers, and they just keep getting bigger and badder with ever single one. This time the Dissident crew head over to Motion Skate Park and bring in a third room for AV sets.

In case any of you are wondering – the vinyl release of Virgo / Murder Us has been put back to May the 4th or i guess the 5th as its a bank holiday monday in the UK.

The AGT Rave Cru feature on the forthcoming 12″ on the great Remerge Records label (Remerge Vol.3). The second volume of the Remerge series is still a regular fixture in my set, and this release will no doubt be also a firm fixture. To celebrate the release Remerge have a number of FREE tracks up for grabs on their website.
I’ve just read the sad news on the passing of Dj & producer Bracket. I’ve no other information this terrible happening as yet but after speaking to him on & off via emails and various forums i finally bumped in to him only a month ago by chance the Imax in central london. A part of the extended Combat Records & Plex family and all round nice guy, he will be sorely sorely missed.
KING CANNIBAL SHOWS OFF…
Here is a little paired down preview of the next King Cannibal 12″ out on the 20th of April. Both of these edits are taken from the already slimmed down radio edits, i’ve used edits of these mixes to help show off each track as a whole rather then a random 3 minute section – the drop out on Murder Us is close to 2 minutes on its own. Ohh and thanks to Wrong Music’s Sorry for the picture.
King Cannibal Ft Face-A-Face – Virgo
King Cannibal Ft Jahcoozi – Murder Us.
KING CANNIBAL SHOUTS…
Regular Gods Of War contributor Doubleclick is on the rampage. The debut album by Two Fingers ( his & Amon Tobin’s new collaborative project ) is OUT NOW on digital formats, and oh boy is it a banger. Obviously he is too modest for self promo boasting (and no doubt far too busy too) so i’m doing it on his behalf.
Featuring guest vocals from Sway, Ms. Jade & Ce’Cile i have to honestly say it is the best and most interesting album i’ve heard in a long time. Combining dirty reece lines, huge cinematic swoops and intricate drum programming all under pinning the best rhymes Sway has delivered since his first few releases. YOU NEEEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE. I’d also add the next 12″ is a total banger too with a great remix by Spor.

Senseless will be dropping MAJOR bombs during May & June this year with the release of Vocal & Versions parts 1 & 2 over two CDs and 2 Vinyl EPs. Its rare such an ambitious collection of material proves anything other then a few tracks with a lot of filler… but Senseless run tings differently.
HUGE tracks and remixes from Starkey, Warrior Queen, MRK1, DeVille, Billy Nasty (who’d have thought it?) and even a remix from myself..roll on spring time!! Full tracklist and press release below…..
