Search - Koma & Bones :: Shutterspeed

Koma + Bones spent their formative years dancing at Manchester?s legendary Hacienda (immortalized in the film 24-Hour Party People) and listening to New Order. Andy Duckmanton (aka Koma) was THE House DJ in Lancashire, so when they turned their attention to breakbeat, it was never going to be a London-centric thing. They make their own style, they play their own style. Since bursting onto the scene in the sweaty summer of 2000 with tracks on Freakaboom, remixes of God Within?s ?The Phoenix?, Cotton Club?s ?Nu Jack? and ?Powercut?, a debut 12" for Rennie Pilgrem?s TCR, Koma + Bones have established themselves as a leading force in the breaks scene with a notably prolific output of high quality tracks & remixes (currently crowned ?Breakbeat Remixers of the Year? at the American Breakbeat Awards). ?Shutterspeed? follows their ?Blinded by Science? debut album and a remix frenzy that includes Xpress-2 ?Smoke Machine?, New Order ?Confusion? (which charted in the UK and New demanded it be included on their ?Best Of? box set!), Kosheen ?Hide U?, PMT - ?Deeper Water?, dj mix albums for Y4K and Street Beat (USA) and wowing crowds in North America, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong as well as becoming legends in their own lunch time all over the UK and Europe. An emotive journey steeped in solid breakbeat grooves from start to finish is the contents of their second album. Collaborations with Matt Maudsley ("Basic Emotion") as well as "Take Me Back" with Robert Owens. Driving dancefloor smashers appear amongst the well-crafted hip-hop retrospective, Flip Flop demonstrating a clear fondness of the eclectic as well as their love of the old school beats.
