'Edge of Love' is one of those tracks that has the potential to be huge: it's got funky, disco synths and a velvet drum-beat that briefly crosses into the realm of trip-hop. With visions of sun, sea and parties, Loose Meat's debut could well be the soundtrack of your Summer.
RAW MEAT: Tell us
about your local music scene; what’s your favourite local venue, are there any
record labels or stores we should look up, what’s the scene like where you’re
from?
Loose Meat: Favourite
live venue at the moment is the Moth Club. For basement DJ’s check out Club
Makossa, Experimental, Honey Moon on Hackney Road. Our immediate scene is kinda
based around K’s studio in TRC Dalston, London. Lots of great bands are coming
through here, such as Comet is Coming, Flamingods and some we are releasing on
our label Whipped Cream Records, like Blue House and Super Best Friend’s Club.
Various members cross over in each other’s bands. There’s a great nurturing and
inclusive atmosphere. Members of some of the above bands will play in the Loose
Meat live show.
Name one track or
band that you love from the past.
‘Crawfish’ by Patti Paladin and Johnny Thunders, it’s an
Elvis track executed with extra swag.
Name one track or
band that you’re loving right now.
Got to be Flamingods!
Name one track or band that you think we should be looking out for in the future.
Super Best Friends Club (LP coming this year on Whipped Cream Records) - imagine Arthur Russell fronting Soft Machine.
What are you up to
now?
Right this minute we’re in TRC, recording an amazing artist
called John Johanna – signed to Whipped Cream Records. I (Arp), literally just
laid down some drums and K’s on the desk!
What can we expect
from you next?
The debut Loose Meat live show on 2nd June
(Sister Ray Ace Hotel, London) and lots of upcoming releases on our label.
