S3 E2: Adamski

We’re going from punk rock to acid house to waltz to cyberbilly in this episode, so if that doesn’t get your creative thinking flowing, I’m packing in.

He formed his first band The Stupid Babies when he was 11, with John Peel playing their legendary 3 chord, kazoo soloing, song Babysitters. He then formed Diskord Datcord with his older brother Mark and Jonny Slut, releasing a cover of X-Ray Spex's Identity.

He visited Ibiza in 1988 and caught the burgeoning Balearic groove vibe and, as they say, the rest is history.

For me, Adamski's musical journey is one of paddling against the tide, anti-pigeonholing, anti-establishment with a strong love for futurism and technology. 

And we don't mention or talk about Seal and THAT song (well, not much because it's been done to death). But we do talk about the link between David Cameron, gurning and dog's bottoms, Happy Mondays, Ian Dury, Poly Styrene, Donny Osmond, appearing in Titbits and mistaking Emerson, Lake and Palmer for the Sex Pistols.

Even more exciting than finding out more about the person behind the music and listening to his wonderful, funny stories of his time in the industry and formative influences, is that this is the first podcast to use the word "epiphoniphically".
