Sumatran Black – Aka Pete Reeves and the Bromide Connection ( Romin ) Pete is really the musical brain behind Haram Tapes I met Pete through Romin (mutual friend and booker of Mr kips now working for SoundCrash Ninja Tune and his own Video company and events Freak London) and years later through soundcloud I got to know him again as Sumatran Black as a mysterious producer based in Istanbul little did i know at the time we had known each other in a past life
thanks to the Malgo riddim of soundcloud we were reunited !
Baders voice and story is featured in Haram Tapes and his story continues to influence me and I hope we will be able to be in the same place again and continue our work and friendship along with Peter and Mo The creation of the album began in 2017 as a document of people living in Europe and Istanbul who had escaped their home country or in the case of Mohamed Shawky had moved to Vienna to study and become a lawyer to help people in need. Mo, friend of Haram Tapes and creator of the haram text and poem on our first album Both Bader and Mo were living in difficult circumstances and trying to find their way in a new society…

Peddler and Mears and Avid Records and Mat Humphrey Chris Mears night was actually called Mobility Chris Peddley brought ,amongst others DJ Spooky, Daddy G and Patrick Forge and gave me my first paid gig ( cheers ears ) and it gave me inspiration for putting on nights with long term friend and Campari Safari creator Mat Humphrey probably most of my records were purchased from the excellent Avid Records where Mearsey worked and where DJ Snowboy would pop in. Paul the owner of Avid was lovely and if youre out there get in touch! Peddley’s night at the Consortium was really open in its music policy and thanks to Nat the owners progressive attitude meant there were always interesting and exciting DJs brought down to little old Bournemouth.
I mention here Sixty Million Postcards for putting on Horse Meat Disco and a young Daniel Avery amongst many others, with it being booked by a group who also organised adventures in the beetroot field / Field day with eat Your Own Ears and many events all over the uk… main booker and spearhead Casper C / Volte face / Bleed and Bloggers delight) along with Filthy Dukes/ ASBO/ Nadia Ksabia and Rory Phillips along with a host of great DJS and Promoters arguably brought the best nights across the country and gave Bournemouth a kick up the arse Thanks to casper and the Lock Tavern and Those early nights at the Drop and Defectors weld I got to put on some really great nights and I want to say thanks and praise be for Casper as a great person and incredible DJ and Producer. Go investigate Volte Face NOW ! The Lock tavern spawned the Disco Pub /small disco see also Horse and Groom and Old Blue Last and the Gun as shining examples of Disco pubs.
Bournemouth hardcore connection Remix was along with Madisons a great club for hardcore,techno and drum and bass The Gander also on holdenhurst road along with Mr Smiths in the Triangle also important gig venues. Remix is now The Bunker and at the Firestation there are occasionally good nights along with The Four Horsemen putting on small club nights.

Kerrie is talking about the artist Jane Rushton, they’re currently collaborating . She can be found on the insta handle @jane_rushton_artist and https://www.resipolestudios.co.uk/jane-rushton
Pay To Play Scandals ! Common practice amongst SOME venues Was to demand bands bring a certain number of people and if they didn’t make the numbers they wouldn’t see a red cent !
But right now whats more pressing is the lack of for help venues and musicians and technicians are getting in this crisis and the total abandonement of the creative industries, write to your MP and support venues, it shouldnt have to be fans who bail out but if you can spare a bit of money please buy music from band camp and pay for any online events, The Deaf Institue and Gorrilla in manchester were saved thanks Tim Burgess and SSD and partly thanks to Labour Mp Andy Burnham for raising the issue.
but many more venues are in the Red and didnt make the grade for arts council funding which has been made available at the last minute
