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…

google fantazia Matchams Bournemouth

is a specialist in percussion and recently worked with
co-founder of Talk Talk, Paul Webb on the new Rustin Man lp
https://www.dominomusic.com/releases/rustin-man/clockdust/exclusive-limited-lp
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.
Edited libellous rumour about a local night club person
Who rumour had it was a hamster snaffler

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
