Jah Wobble - Get Carter 10" (Pressure Sounds)
Jah Wobble was the original bass player in the greatest ever incarnation of PIL (Public Image Limited) and has subsequently recorded with everyone from Pharaoh Sanders, Can, Bill Laswell and his own group Invaders of the Heart. The first release by Jah Wobble on Pressure Sounds showcases two superb new cuts of the ‘Get Carter’ theme from the cult film of the same name - it's a re-working of the theme to this great British film which was directed by Mike Hodges and originally released in 1971. Recorded with tablas and with additional music by Clive Bell and Sylvia Hallet this is a bass heavy floor shaker that will seriously disturb your speakers!

The first release by Jah Wobble on Pressure Sounds showcases two superb new cuts of the ‘Get Carter’ theme from the cult film of the same name. The original music was written by Roy Budd and has become synonymous with Michael Caine as the character ‘Jack Carter’ on a train journey home as it plays over the opening sequence.  Our release is a re-working of the theme to this great British film which was directed by Mike Hodges and originally released in 1971. We are proud to present two new heavyweight versions on a special 10" vinyl recorded by Jah Wobble especially for Pressure Sounds... thunderous new versions by one of the best bass players around. Wobble was the original bass player in the greatest ever incarnation of PIL and has subsequently recorded with everyone from Pharaoh Sanders, Can, Bill Laswell and his own group ‘Invaders of the Heart’. Recorded with tablas and with additional music by Clive Bell and Sylvia Hallet this is a bass heavy floor shaker that will seriously disturb your speakers. Wobble’s music has always followed its own light and we are delighted to have this innovative and original artist release a record with Pressure Sounds. The B side features the Cliff Brumby mix (Cliff Brumby is a character from the original film and not a house DJ!) This version was also produced by Jah Wobble. British musical ‘noir’ at its very best.  As Jack Carter said "Be good and don’t trust boys".

Upcoming: Trus'me - In The Red 2LP/CD (Fat City)
UPDATE: Album now out on CD here,
2LP here
Fat City Recordings and Prime Numbers present the much-anticipated album "In The Red" by Trus'me. Since the release of his blistering seminal debut "Working Nights" in 2007, Mancunian wunderkind Trus'me has been doing just that, both dj'ing in the best clubs around the world and putting in plenty of late night studio sessions alongside some heavyweight talent. The result has been a rapturous dancefloor response to his eclectic dj sets, an impressive roll call of quality remixes (inc LCD Soundsystem, Amp Fiddler & Dabrye ) and not least the production of his long-awaited second album "In The Red".
"Working Nights" is regularly held up as "one of the finest deep house and disco albums to come out of the U.K in years", but this was just the beginning of the Trusme sound. Since then he has become increasingly adept and inventive at taking on the sound system roots of reggae, soul, and disco, blending them with house and techno,to create a hypnotically radical sound.
In comparison to his debut album on "In The Red" Trus'me has collaborated with several vocalists and musicians.The album is undoubtedly more accomplished leading to an organic, unabridged feel to the production and a more song based approach. Trus'me has certainly raised the bar attracting some real key players to appear on "In The Red".Dam-Funk, Stones Throw recording artist and L.A.'s rising star of the nu-boogie scene collaborates on a low slung interpretation of the WasNotWas disco epic "Wheel Me Out". Also on board is the jazzy Detroit innovator Amp Fiddler who features on two tracks including a bass & rhodes heavy cover of Bill Withers bittersweet classic " Can We Pretend". Paul Randolph, Jazzanovas current front-man, provides vocals for a house'd up version of West Phillips' boogie favourite "Sucker for a Pretty Face" and Mahogani Music's longtime collaboartor Pirahnahead lends his vocal skills to the title track "In the Red".
Over the last two years Trus?me has also been pioneering with the label Prime Numbers, releasing a series of highly regarded and collectable e.ps from integral artists such as Linkwood, Fudge Fingas, Move D, Actress & Reggie Dokes. Over the last two years Prime Numbers and Trus'me have found fans and devotess far and wide.
