If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Chicken Lips are back with a new release on Southern Fried Records. D.R.O.M.P (Don’t Rain On My Parade) is a disco inspired groove that draws on the NYC eighties vibe that has always been at the heart of the Lips work, with guest vocalist Charmaine making up the line up on this outing. It comes with a stunning set of remixes, as always Andy from the Lips has created an Emperor Machine interpretation that is darker and more cosmic than its original, Dean does the same job under his The Rhythm Odyssey moniker, providing a jerky acidic house dub for the deeper floors. Old pal Headman turns in his classic slo-mo tight grooves, new kids Amine Edge & Dance go deep as you like in the same vein as their Diynamic releases and finally SFR favourite Sona Vabos delivers one of his finest remixes to date, with this bouncy floor filler.
In 1999 Andrew Meecham and Dean Meredith formed Chicken Lips. The original idea was to seek underground salvation and immerse themselves in the musical styles that they grew up with and loved. Together they also made up the seminal early nineties dance act Bizarre Inc who scored 3 top ten national hits, toured the world and worked with some of the biggest names around, delivering genre defining remixes along the way.
2003 saw brethren Stevie Kotey join the lips, with Stevie on board to fulfill DJ and tour duties and help compile the now classic DJ Kicks for !K7. In 2005 the final piece of the jigsaw was added in the form of long time friend and collaborator Jonny Spencer aka Jonny Tonic. This is when they created the masterpiece “He Not In”, a track that has been played the world over, and described as “the bass line that changed House Music” and “A game changer’. Its dubhouse sound did make a big impact on the scene and continues to work on the floor today, inspiring many of the bassline led deep house that’s taken over the world!
As well as working under the Chicken Lips moniker they also record together as Big200, Zeefungk & Randee Jean. Solo projects include The Rhythm Odyssey/Mind fair/White light Circus (Dean), The Emperor Machine/ Sir Drew/Grand Corporation (Andy). Their approach to production is quite simply unique! Andy is an avid collector and owner of some of the most sought after synthesizers known to man. His studio is more akin to a synthesizer museum rather than studio hub. Dean is a seasoned Producer/programmer & DJ with an acute eye for detail.
Their debut album ‘Echoman’ was in many ways ahead of it's time drawing on eighties NYC influences. It sounds as current now (if not more so) than what it did back in 1999. The second album ‘Extended play’ includes the underground hit single ‘He Not In’. ‘Making Faces’ was the third released in 2006 with vocalist Jonny spencer and a final fourth LP 'Experience Of Malfunction' on their Lipservice imprint. Since then the collective has been busy with solo projects, making babies and touring all over the world. Now the original dynamic production duo of Andy Meecham & Dean Meredith are ready to unleash their new Audio carnival on your ears!
