A few days ago I had the chance to catch up with Mr C. about his recent move to LA, getting his acting career started and his current musical endeavors.
.
If you grew up in Britain in the 90’s (and liked electronic music) you should know who Mr C. is. For those of you who didn’t here’s some background info:
.
Mr C. got his rise to fame as the MC and front man for UK pop outfit The Shamen. They had a few hits in the early 90’s but non bigger than their tune Ebeneezer Goode which was controversial thanks to it’s choice chorus of ‘eezer Goode, eezer Goode, he’s Ebeneezer Goode’.
.
The song made it to the top of the UK charts in 1992 but the BBC banned it (although later withdrew the ban) citing drug reference as the reason, a claim that the band denied. The ban didn’t make much difference though as the song had already become a symbol of good times and clubbing so the damage had been done. Ironically it now sits at the top of a completely different BBC chart.
.
Since his Shamen days Mr C. has produced under a slew of different aliases including under The Sycophant Slags name with Adultnapper. Along with Eddie Richards he had a hand in making UK tech-house what it is today, or perhaps what it was a couple of years ago given the obsession with post-minimal-bongo-laden ‘tech house’ that seems to be the rage right now.
.
He’s been behind labels like Plink Plonk, The End Recordings and Superfreq which is a label and successful club night. He was also partners in the infamous London club The End with Layo Paskin.
