BIG HAIR BIOG
Big Hair's patent brand of tech-house funk with a twist of
wry humour has won them many fans. Chris and Aaron started
Big Hair in 95, and started releasing on Kontraband in 97.
They swiftly received dancefloor recognition with such Tech
House anthems as Dougie At the Ockie, their ‘le grande
boofont’ work on Wiggle, their string of remixes including
the Manor Maus mix for Terry Francis and Nathan Coles, and
collaborations with Ben Chapman (for Visitor, Belgium) and
Nathan Coles (for Surreal).
Big Hair's own sound - grounded in good ol' 4/4 beats - is
surrounded by a palette of different influences including
afro beat, tech-house, chicago house, funk, hip hop and
various charity shop oddities. Their recent album 'Imagine
Being Chased by a One Man Band', covers the whole spectrum
over it's 12 tracks. With a conscious aim to challenge the
preconception of a 'dance' album, Big Hair created a
parallel world, fuelled with dancefloor dynamite - broken
up with psychedelic interludes and sleazy instrumental
segways. "Imagine Being Chased By A One Man Band' remains
funky and entertaining to the last.
Recently, the duo have signed to u-freqs, a new label with
a music policy aimed to freq out both the dance floor and
the bedroom listener. Already causing quite a stir, with
releases and remixes from the duo’s other, more dancefloor
monikers, Le Grande boofont., and with Big Hair
collaborations with Dave Coker (Pig Bwoy, Smart Alec) and
Timmy S (Surreal), the future of Big Hair noises looks
blissfully twisted. The first 3 releases have won many fans
already including Terry Francis, Seb Fontaine, Laurent
Garnier, Eddie Richards, Kenny Hawkes and Nathan Coles.
Alongside their production duties, live is where Big Hair
need to be experienced. Working back to back alongside DJs,
with a blend of laptops, FX, decks, sequencers, live MCs
and video, the Hair have been regularly rocking The End
with their bi-monthly live spots at Subterain, and with the
Underground Freqs crew (Tak Records, DIY, Drop music) at a
whole host of partys and club dates, including Turnmills,
Jax, Nitsa, OTV, and Kozzmozz.
Let your beats be funky and your hair bigS …
