Lost Idol

Electronica / Experimental / Psychedelic

Brighton, United Kingdom

Billboard

James Dean, the Lost Idol, likes to think his unique and often unpredictable psychedelic downtempo sound stems from happy studio accidents. When it comes to making music, he gets his kicks from doing something different, paying little regard to fashion or formula. Thankfully others appreciated this attitude and enabled him to release early Lost Idol creations on pioneering independent label Pork Recordings. He then went on to channel his open minded ethos into the establishing of his own record label Cookshop with fellow conspirator Emily Cracknell (La Femme) back in 2002. Utilizing Cookshop as an unrestrictive vehicle he released a string of acclaimed headphone orientated releases of not only his own music, but also others who were righteously digging their own field.

Cut to the present day and Lost Idol has just released his debut album "Utters From A Cluttered Mind" on Cookshop to great acclaim. As cluttered as his mind may be, unfocused it is not.

Aside from his label and studio pursuits Lost Idol is an avid DJ and has played extensively over the UK and abroad spreading the Cookshop gospel, as well as recording DJ mixes for Ninja Tune's Solid Steel show and Samurai FM. He also co-hosts the Morning Glory radio show weekly on Brighton's Juice 107.2FM and online at Totally Radio.

Tis, isn't it? Such an eyeful of nice after getting used to the carnage that is myspace. You add peeps by clicking on the 'add friends' link (far right) underneath the audio player. If you can't see it, click the 'remove customization' button along the top. Very handy little device, that. Playing the big chill, eh? Farkin ewl! We are moving up in the world. :) Take care boss kat. j
