BIG HAIR BIOG

Big Hair's patent brand of tech-house funk with a twist of

wry humour has won them many fans. Chris and Aaron started

Big Hair in 95, and started releasing on Kontraband in 97.

They swiftly received dancefloor recognition with such Tech

House anthems as Dougie At the Ockie, their �le grande

boofont� work on Wiggle, their string of remixes including

the Manor Maus mix for Terry Francis and Nathan Coles, and

collaborations with Ben Chapman (for Visitor, Belgium) and

Nathan Coles (for Surreal).

Big Hair's own sound - grounded in good ol' 4/4 beats - is

surrounded by a palette of different influences including

afro beat, tech-house, chicago house, funk, hip hop and

various charity shop oddities. Their recent album 'Imagine

Being Chased by a One Man Band', covers the whole spectrum

over it's 12 tracks. With a conscious aim to challenge the

preconception of a 'dance' album, Big Hair created a

parallel world, fuelled with dancefloor dynamite - broken

up with psychedelic interludes and sleazy instrumental

segways. "Imagine Being Chased By A One Man Band' remains

funky and entertaining to the last.

Recently, the duo have signed to u-freqs, a new label with

a music policy aimed to freq out both the dance floor and

the bedroom listener. Already causing quite a stir, with

releases and remixes from the duo�s other, more dancefloor

monikers, Le Grande boofont., and with Big Hair

collaborations with Dave Coker (Pig Bwoy, Smart Alec) and

Timmy S (Surreal), the future of Big Hair noises looks

blissfully twisted. The first 3 releases have won many fans

already including Terry Francis, Seb Fontaine, Laurent

Garnier, Eddie Richards, Kenny Hawkes and Nathan Coles.

Alongside their production duties, live is where Big Hair

need to be experienced. Working back to back alongside DJs,

with a blend of laptops, FX, decks, sequencers, live MCs

and video, the Hair have been regularly rocking The End

with their bi-monthly live spots at Subterain, and with the

Underground Freqs crew (Tak Records, DIY, Drop music) at a

whole host of partys and club dates, including Turnmills,

Jax, Nitsa, OTV, and Kozzmozz.

Let your beats be funky and your hair bigS �
