Description

Fila Brazillia is the electronica collaboration of Steve Cobby and David McSherry from Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire in North-East England. They play Electronica, Ambient, Techno, Rock, Funk and Dub, though the music is often described by others as Downtempo.

Formed in 1990, their early releases include Old Codes New Chaos, Maim That Tune, Mess, Black Market Gardening, Luck Be A Weirdo Tonight and Power Clown soon followed. Later, after creating their own music label with Sim Lister (Twentythree Records) in 1999, they released further albums A Touch Of Cloth, Jump Leads, The Life And Times Of Phoebus Brumal, Dicks and Retrospective.

Maim That Tune was released in 1995. This album was dedicated to the deceased stand-up comedian, satirist and social critic Bill Hicks. Fila Brazillia really mix it up on Maim That Tune, constructing various takes on Techno, including elements of Hip-Hop, House, African music and a continuous stream of luxuriously lush ambient Funk.
