The Idjut Boys.
No one could take you seriously with a name like that. Unless you're Dan
Tyler and Conrad McDonnell that is. They call themselves stupid, yet their
music is anything but. It's a world away from the dumb productions that
usually proliferate dance music, that's for sure. They take disco, dub, funk
and jazz and fuse the lot into a heady cocktail of nightclub magic. A kind
of groove that leaves dance-floors reeling and their peers speechless. Until
someone tells them the names of some of the tunes they've been freakin' to
that is. Then you have to pick them up off the floor they've been laughing
so hard. And with track titles like 'Frogs Arrrse', 'Tea Tray Formerly Known
As Coffee Table' and 'Gurner's Choice', who can blame them?
"It's just us doing what we do," offers Conrad, chilling out in their North
London studio. "We use daft names to lighten the mood a little. So many
producers take things too seriously. All we want to do is give people a good
time and maybe put a smile on their face while we do it."
Entertaining people is something Conrad and Dan have been doing since they
met each other in Cambridge at the end of the Eighties. From there, they
moved to London and started throwing their own U-Star parties. Inviting New
York legends like Hector Romero and Ted Patterson to compliment their own
twisted disco sound. Then in 1994, U-Star Records was born.
Since then, they've hardly stopped to draw breath. They've remixed everyone
from the Lighthouse Family to Sound 5, their eclectic dj sets have become
legendary winning them fans the world over and their releases, including
their debut album 'Life - The Shoeing You Deserve' on Glasgow Underground,
have received critical acclaim from all corners of the music press.
"There's one thing you learn the longer you do this," adds Conrad, as he
thinks to the future. "There's nothing you can't do. The only thing that
limits you is your imagination."
Knowing these two, that means the possibilities are endless. So listen up,
there are exciting times ahead.
