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 Sound of the Urban Gypsies”-the new single from !Deladap and the precise description of their sound…The project started in 2001 when Stani Vana, an Czech producer formed a trio that later became an a seven member live ensemble. They are now in Vienna and touring a lot…try to see them live…special thanks to Mr. Sata who opened my ears to them…

Ps: What about Stani? Nice or what?

Great Sicilian origin actor that you may see in Buffalo 66 or Brown Bunny, Vincent Gallo is also a music artist. He started his career with The Blue Mood, his first band and went on to Zephyr and so on. He directed and wrote the music for Buffalo 66 and made other great underground chilly-experimental-idm-trip-hop-abstract stuff. Worth finding more…unfortunately, youtube does not have more music related documents about Vincent Gallo…What you can hear is only a project, far from the real Vincent Gallo.

Bossa-nova, chilly music, loungy stuff…

Who is he? Dirk Swartenbroekx (Belgium)…why Buscemi? Since he likes the actor…:)

I didn’t know this until today when I was searching for more information on the internet. Thanks to the people who put there the information and thanks to the people who ask for more information.

More info:

Outside’s mastermind Matt Cooper collaborated with a multitude of musicians on several albums in the 1990s, starting yet another acid jazz group in the early ’90s and evolving into something much more than that by the decade’s end. However, despite Cooper’s resilience and prolific output, Outside never attained substantial success, remaining more of a cult phenomenon, recording most notably for Dorando Records (Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide).

Outside’s albums are: The Rough and the Smooth (1997), Discoveries (1997), Suspicious (1998), Out Of The Dark (2001).
