Tortured Souls:

Their style can be described as a mix of avant-garde jazz and grindcore; later albums also incorporated elements of ambient and dub.  The band has also had several musicians make guest appearances both live and in the studio, including Yamatsuka Eye, Buckethead, Mike Patton, Makigami Koichi, Justin Broadrick and G. C. Green of Godflesh, and Keiji Haino of Fushitsusha.

John Zorn established in 1995 the record label called Tzadik Records, wich is a not-for-profit, cooperative record label with a variety of artists with diverse musical backgrounds, including, but not limited to free improvisation, jazz, noise, klezmer, rock  and experimental composition.

About [dK]:

“Once [dK] were [captain], [dixan] and [K], they wrote songs, played them and all the rest. They played a few gigs, recorded several tracks and got high on any possible drug.

Then the economic trend and cosmic dynamics changed things.

We can say that from 2007 on, [dK] will not be a band as we commonly intend it, but a wide open project. More musicians will take part to future releases and live acts. The trade mark will stay there, branching with fire the pale and spotty butt of this world of jerks. “

According to Wikipedia:

Mad Doctor X, the undercover alter-ego of hip-hop veteran DJ Jason Tunbridge (aka Xavier Jones, Funk Wizard Jay Rock, DJ Jason, Monty Props) has been busy working in the lab conducting his illicit experiments and concocting his ill beats in various disguises ever since: London Funk Allstars and DJ Toolz on Ninja Tune, Clusterfunk on Cooltempo, and most recently as Mad Doctor X on Freskanova. He may also be familiar as the man providing all the scratches on The Freestylers’ recent records.

London Funk Allstars is the fruit of a collaboration between a bunch of musicians/DJ’s/Producers/Mixers already responsible for various projects including Clusterfunk and DJ Toolz and all those releases on Blaaps!. The link between all these is Jason, who was (is) part of all these projects.

For the London Funk Allstars projects, Jason teamed up with long time friends and musicians (keyboard, bass, flute…) and the debut EP Can You Understand arrived in March 1995. This was closely followed by the release of London Funk Allstars Vol. One, packed with samples, breaks, jazzy cuts, laid back hip-hop and even a hint of acid.

At the time Ninja Tune were catching vapours from a pretentious competitor label called Mo’ Wax. Pete played the groundbreaking DJ Krush album Strictly Turntablized to the Doc and felt the London Funk Allstars could sell to a new market of instrumental album buyers of the now vilified Trip hop market.

The album was very well received by DJ’s, punters and press. ..Genius..!! was used by music loving DJ and journalist Willbur Wilberforce in his review of London Funk Vol I for Touch magazine.
“Armed with samples from Gang Starr, Barry White, The Six Million Dollar Man and the video game Street Fighter, the London Funk Allstars add quite a bit of jazzy spice to their funky breaks and hip-hop influenced beats.” (Jessy Terry) London Funk Allstars want to give a big slap to the hip hop genre, giving the London version of the thing. Indeed, London Funk Volume 1 is a small wonder that inspired hip hop turns in all directions.

“I really wanted to have some rap tracks in amongst the instrumentals. I thought that people who bought Ninja Tune releases, that were basically hip hop backings, would want to hear the tracks laced with raps. I wanted to bring in emcees and singers to give my tracks wider appeal.” The Doc was told Ninja Tune was not a rap label. Ironic when you look at its output today.

The second album Flesh Eating Disco Zombies Vs. The Bionic Hookers From Mars, is more musician based than the first album, and includes, William George on vocals, John Miles on flute, Alan Simpson on guitar, Stefan on keyboards and Sir Hugo Havern on brass. It is warm and funky and has a sound resolutely melodic and live orientated.

The 2nd and the last London Funk Allstars album was released on Ninja Tune and the overspill of tracks was released simultaneously on Blapps!’ through Ninja Tunes distribution and was the 1st Mad Doctor X album Mad Doctor X’s Hip Hop Experiments Escape From The Lab And Go On The Rampage Volume 1.

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (TKDE) formed in 2000 as a project to compose new music for existing silent movies. Jason Köhnen (aka Bong-Ra) and Gideon Kiers, both graduates of the Utrecht School of Arts, combined their audio and visual skills to reinterpret classic movies by F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) and F. Langs (Metropolis).

In 2004 UK trombonist Hilary Jeffery and Swiss cellist Nina Hitz joined TKDE to record the self-titled debut album which was released on Planet Mu Records in May 2006. The ensuing tour saw Eelco Bosman and Paris based vocalist Charlotte Cegarra join, forming the Ensemble into a sextet. London based violinist Sadie Anderson joined in 2008 to supply the group with extra power on stage.

Apart from the mothership which is TKDE, there is another entity; The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is a live improv jazz/ drone/ doom side project consisting of TKDE members and a host of interchanging guest musicians.
