After relocating from London to Toronto, Angus was quickly identified for his unique and extraordinarily advanced track selection by one of the worldÆs top record stores, Release Records, to head up their on-line ordering platform and to handle all of their breakbeat record purchasing. From there it was only a matter of time before Angus, who was being billed under his Madhatter alias at the time, became a staple of the breakbeat scene in Toronto where his progressive breakbeat and nu-school influences went against, and allowed him to stand out from, the funky breaks that were the norm. In early spring of 2002, the promoters of Breathe (one of the premier progressive house clubnights in the world) approached Angus about coming on board as a resident DJ for their groundbreaking new night called Futurized which would be instrumental in bringing the worldÆs biggest and best progressive / nu-school breakbeat talent to Toronto. Essentially built around the incredible talent and behind-the-decks presence of Angus Robisnon, Futurized has drawn crowds in excess of 1100 to System Soundbar for nights featuring a selection of guests including B.L.I.M., Meat Katie, Starecase, Jody (of Way Out West), DJ Hyper, Koma Bones and more. Still in touch with his roots, Angus co-founded and still takes the time to maintain www.torontobreaks.com which places the focus on the entire breakbeat scene in Toronto and he can still be found pushing the latest vinyl behind the counter at Release Records. In addition, look for forthcoming production and remix efforts on the Release label from Angus... and of course... he'll be knocking 'em dead on the dancefloor with three and four hour sets as Futurized, under his command at the decks, steams full speed ahead. Hedrock Valley Beats July 7th We want to tell you a story about three Irish lads and some music. A tale which involves, in no particular order, the 1998 World Cup, ill-fated rehearsals, a written-off Mercedes, original breaks, hard edge, hip-hop, electro, big beat and breakbeat and go-go dancing in New York. Go-go dancing in New York? Sorry, must have been thinking about something else entirely. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. HOW THEY MET Frankie met Foxy when they were 16. "He was this non-agreeable character, a sarcy fucker," remembers Frankie. Both into acid jazz, both wearing corduroys and Adidas Gazelles, they were two of a kind, so they hooked up. Frankie found that he lived down the road from Decky. Increasingly they'd find themselves meeting up on the way home, beered-up. Same clothes, same love for music, it wasn't long before all three were hanging out together. HOW THE BALL STARTED ROLLING "I was doing stuff on my own," explains Decky, "I gave something to a DJ in Derry who kept playing it out and people were liking it." The DJ asked if Decky could do it live. Course he could. Just not on his own. Foxy and Frankie offered to back him up. A gig was arranged. Hedrock Valley Beats had arrived, kicking and screaming. Quite literally. It was the 1998 World Cup. Foxy had just settled down with a carry out to watch the Croatia/Jamaica showdown. Decky and Foxy had other plans: with their first gig three days away maybe they should rehearse. Striking while the iron was hot, Foxy was dragged from footie match to studio, carry-out still in hand. The band recall that first rehearsal with fondness. "It was a fucking disaster," they say. "We thought it would be so easy," says Decky. "Bass guitar, decks, keyboards, sampler that kind of thing. We thought would be simple, but no way. On the Sunday night we recorded ourselves, listened to it in the car and it sounded. . . really good. The gig went. . . perfectly. Half the town had come to see us, it was fantastic. Still one of our best gigs." Determined to keep the wheels a-turning, they heard Bentley Rhythm Ace were coming to nearby Portrush for a show. They'd need a support band wouldn't they? At 10 o' clock on a miserable Sunday night they drove from Derry to the venue and handed the promoter a tape. A tape which, while listening to it on the way home, caused him to roll his dad's six-day-old Mercedes. A good tape, then. HOW GOOD??? Think Lo Fidelity Allstars do hip-hop. Think Beastie Boys do big beat. Think dance music with a rock and roll attitude. They got the gig. HOW IT ALL WENT RIGHT "We just decided to see how it goes," laughs Foxy. "Except we never had to see. There was never any question after the Bentley thing, it just went off from there." The right people got the tapes, HVB got more gigs. In the meantime, 500 copies of the lead track, the Easy E-sampling funk-fuelled skew-wiff hip-hop of Radio Beatbox, appeared as a white label late in 1999. Pete Tong played it, Jo Whiley played it, Annie Nightingale says it's her all-time number two favourite dance tune. Lamacq went bonkers for it. A live session was booked for his show. "There were technical problems," sighs Decky.s Technical problems? "Actually it was a disaster... everything stopped. There was 30 seconds of silence on Radio 1. We were just sat there going, 'We don't believe this is happening." Of course, it was. In a good way. The right noises were obviously being made. The story goes Infectious got hold of a tape at Cream in Liverpool. Maybe it was the promoter from Portrush who, by now, was studying in Liverpool. Except he denies it. Maybe it was Richard from Bentleys, who in his Pop Will Eat Itself days was signed to Infectious. Except he denies it too. "There's possibly a poltergeist involved," believes Frankie. They signed to Infectious Records shortly before Christmas 1999. HOW IT GETS EVEN BETTER... Hedrock Valley Beats are the only band to remix Ash. HVB's version of 'Jesus Says' is a magnificent chunk of floorfilling indie/dance crossover in the fine tradition of Weatherall and Oakenfold. Thing is, it never saw the light of day. "It seems to be that everyone had their own wee story," offers Decky. "The whole problem was Ash went on and off about it - one minute they liked it, the next minute they said no because they felt like it would be jumping on the bandwagon." It does exist, if you search hard enough. "We don't know who pressed it, who distributed it, we've one in the house each and that's it," says Foxy. "It's on vinyl, it can be got if you hunt and hunt. Knock at my house and if the price is right, I'll sell it." Their considerable skill as remixers is well worth seeking out. Try, for example, their mix of recent James single 'Crash', a rework which could sit proudly alongside anything that turned dancefloors upside down during their 'Sit Down' heyday. for more info on Hedrock Valley Beats, check out their website - www.hedrockvalleybeats.com Tracklisting: Part 1: Angus Robinson 1.
