The 39 Steps

"The 39 Steps are here to introduce you to what they call ‘Dark Soul’. Leeds-based producer Kato and veteran singer Laura Fowles have spent the last year and a half creating a place where jazz, hip hop, psychedelia and filmscores collide. Built to a blueprint of bottom-heavy beats and spine-tingling vocals, their debut album Coming Clean is currently being finished and aims to showcase their manifesto of thoughtful and emotive music. Despite a low-key arrival onto the electronic music scene with no live output as yet, their studio project has been steadily acquiring interest on digital domains such as MySpace, where enthusiasts from all over the world variously described their music as ‘awesome’, ‘melancholic’ and ‘beautiful’. Buoyed by this response, the duo have written an entire album of songs and have recorded a video (not yet screened….!) to promote the album. Coming Clean is shaping up to be a personal, thought provoking and nocturnal album."

Don't let your eyes or ears stray too far away from these guys. You only have to take a brief look at their myspace to see just how much praise they have already garnered. We have every faith that the album is going to be an excellent listen and would like to wish Laura and Kato all the best for the future.

Massive thanks to everyone who came down and helped us shake the foundations of the Gramaphone club. Here's how the night unfolded..

Danny the Djembe Destroyer got everyone's heads nodding for his 2 hour special.. Earfworm had the beard strokers trying to sneak a peak at his records.. between 12:30 and 2am, Kato's critical beatdown blew everyone away as he hopped from psych rock funk bombs to acid house anarchy. The Desi Punk Contingent somehow followed on and kept people dancing right up until the club closed at 4. Plenty of lovely feedback and plenty of smiling faces.. perfect. One lonesome punter was so impressed that he sat down, put his hands in his pants and had himself a game of pocket billiards.

This went down a treat:


St Germain - Rose Rouge

Stay tuned for the third installment..
