Aircooled
Guitar-tainted Machine Rock Supergroup featuring:
Katharine Wallinger – ace bass who has played with all sorts, including Viv Albertine and The Wedding Present. The solid heart of Aircooled
Justin Welch – Justin really has played with everyone; Suede, Elastica, Lush and The Jesus And Mary Chain and many more. Along with Aircooled, he is the drummer for Piroshka and JAMC.
Ollie Cherer – big beat dance music operator back in the 90s who has since followed his nose through the margins of ambient, electronic, folk & psychogeographic ghost music under a variety of noms de plume, occasionally even using his own.
Riz Maslen has had an extraordinary career so far as Neotropic, and releasing work on a who’s who of independent labels including R&S/Apollo, Oxygen Music Works and Ninja Tune and the story of her involvement with Future Sound of London at the inception of acid house is well documented.
