As we get ready for our mega party with the Finger Lickin’ Crew in London next weekend (still some tickets left, link in
@finger_lickin_records bio) here’s a bit of background…
Back in 1996
@jem_finger_lickin and
@justinrushmore met and got making tunes pretty quickly. It was here, on this very set-up in Jem’s sitting room in Shepherds Bush, London, where what were to be the first load of Finger Lickin’ tracks were all created and recorded - that’s Love & Hate, Between the Eyes (inc Flint mix), Osmosis, The Lick, Nutty Drumstick (inc Matt Cantor remix), Getting’ It On, Scatterbox, Everybody’s Funkin’, Gonna Keep On, and possibly a few more.
Kit list: Atari520ST, Emu-e64 sampler (8 outputs), Roland W30 (7 secs sample time), Juno106, Mackie 24-track desk,
Behringer Composer compressor, Digitech Quad delay, 2 x Alesis Multiverbs, Emu Classic Keys, JBL hi-fi speakers, all mastered onto a Sony Portable DAT
The only inaccurate thing is it was never this tidy and the carpet was never that hoovered.
Over the next few years Jem was able to buy another sampler and some more outboard gear and some decent monitors to add to the set-up, but remained on Atari until about 2004 when a Mac laptop finally found its way in.
Come and celebrate the golden age of breaks this weekend at
@btwthebridges , all our crew plus Freestylers playing a classic breaks set. You would be mad to miss it!
