YOUNGER BROTHER

Younger Brother is a cutting-edge mixed-genre electronica project featuring experimental musicians Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan. This unique pairing synthesizes a remarkable blend of creative musical sensibilities, legendary soundsmith Posford’s mastery of programming and melodic inclinations being perfectly complemented by Vaughan’s quirky harmonic choices and inspired imagination.

Formed spontaneously when the pair collaborated on a charity project in the late 90s, Younger Brother released their first track on Twisted Records in 2000 and over the course of the first two decades of the millennium produced three innovative hit albums that earned them a cult following across the globe. Their boundary-defying productions cover an abundant array of styles, their ever-evolving forms invoking an equally vast range of moods.

The duo has been back in the studio in 2020, delving into the rabbit-hole of possibilities afforded them by the latest production technology and their own boundless curiosity. Always on the cusp of experimental musical evolution, Posford and Vaughan are forging new sonic portraits that define our current ethos and what lies beyond our immediate perception. With their expansive imagination being the only limit, Younger Brother are sure to continue pushing the boundaries of where consciousness and music intersect.

BENJI VAUGHAN

Dongle and Mongle are the only two other words rhyming with Shpongle…a strange hybrid of electronic manipulation and shamanic midgets with frozen digits squeezing the envelope and crawling through the doors of perception, find a new pair of dice…extra numbers and colours an infinite expanding bubble, filled with a bizzare, strange world of dripping halucinatory wallpaper, a garden of earthly delights…Shpongleland…a place of well being, and reflective surfaces, morphing like an Anacondas skin and shimmering like a million colour changing squid, at fifty fathoms.. truly unfathomable like seperating water from it’s wetness, the Ineffable Mysteries unweave ..

COSMIC TRIGGER

Cosmic Trigger is an exciting new addition to Twisted Records’ stable of innovative artists, the solo project of musical mastermind Jamie Grashion. The gifted producer has at a young age already amassed considerable experience both in the studio and on stage, drawing on a broad spectrum of styles to create truly groundbreaking scores.

Grashion spent his teens playing in bands ranging from grunge to psychedelic rock, all the while listening to an array of performers that included leading-edge projects Killing Joke and Younger Brother. His formal training in music technology led to a job at Youth’s Meridian Studios, where he worked for years honing his production skills as an engineer for top-tier artists. Grashion made such an impression on Simon Posford that he was soon asked to be his assistant, becoming an integral part of the Shpongle live band and then invited to produce his own remixes of legendary Shpongle compositions.

As Cosmic Trigger he has performed internationally, his two appearances at the massive Ozora Festival including a coveted appearance on the main stage, an honour extended to only the most esteemed downtempo artists. With truly first-rate production and an expansive imagination, he crafts music with pronounced percussive elements, richly textured synth sounds, and organic structures forged into creative storylines. Following a debut album on Liquid Sound Design in 2017, he has released in 2020 an inspired album of Shpongle Remixes. Still at an early stage of what promises to be a remarkable career, Cosmic Trigger is already moving beyond the fringes of defined genres to explore uncharted sonic realms.
