Brasstooth

about

Brasstooth has been in the music industry for a good few years. He started off playing bass for a band called 'Kuro' which was made up of a group of school friends. The band were approached by Colin Barlow, of Polygram Music, who offered them a publishing deal. At the same time 'Kuro' were also demo'ing records at Island Records with the A&R scout Darcus Bees, who invited Brasstooth and his band into the studio. Around this time Brasstooth was dumped by his band. Polygram Music were only interested in the rest of the band and the singer, and this is where Brasstooth's solo career began. Brasstooth met, and started working with, Darius Keeler (Now of 'Archive') of 'Generside 2', who are credited for making the first ever jungle record, 'Narra-Minds', on which Brasstooth played keyboard. This led to Brasstooth releasing a record on HUMM records with Darius. Interest was being shown by Benny Medina at Warner Music US. Advances were paid for an album, but due to financial disputes, Benny refused to deal with HUM Records. After parting company with HUM Records, Brasstooth met Steve Mac, of Passion Music, and recorded lead vocals (rap) for Steve Mac’s group 'Gem for Gem'. This was also around the time that warehouse parties were springing up all over the country. After going to a lot of these types of parties/ raves, Brasstooth found himself exposed to American underground house and garage music. The year is now 1995 and Brasstooth is going to the Sunday scene, morning house br
