DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Deep House, Breaks & Techno Cuts ON This 8 Track LP- Mates now for many moons - Mr.G and Duncan Forbes met at the time of Duncan’s Animated project; forging a friendship through weekly record shopping trips; a love of Soho; and regular banter over Duck and Rice. But it was their chance meeting at Glastonbury a few years back which finally sparked them to work together; since leading to a string of remixes for both Phoenix G and 49North, and culminating in their first, combined studio creation, ‘Curry Nite’, in late 2022.
Fast forward to Spring 2023, and what we have here is their first, collaborative full-length on vinyl - artist album, All Under One Moon. Conceived and created in Duncan’s studio on a long, full moon weekend with cosmic forces at play; the pair - both chomping-at-the-bit with excitement and no real plan or outcome in mind - set about creating, with a pure love of making music and the freedom to go wherever it might take them as their only guide. As G sums up for us…
“Two friends of old with a shared love of music ,having fun making music together in D’s studio. It was a long time coming but in truth caught us both off guard… the sum of both parts being sooo much more. The beauty of being free, making music. What a great moment”
So, on paper, we have - two mates, excited to play away in the studio with their favourite toys until they have to come up for air. But on record, what we actually have is - two close friends, united by a deep love of house, techno and everything between / beyond - relishing a rare opportunity to jam, and with freedom…. it’s only when you consider quite how almanack-like our two music-obsessed pals are anyway, as individuals; that it begins to dawn on you, just how mind-meltingly rich and stylistically explosive - an album, that’s the sum-of-their-parts - is inevitably going to be.”
Revered underground stalwarts Mr G and Duncan Forbes first came tother when Forbes was doing his Animated project. They bonded over music, regular record shopping trips and banter while eating duck and rice but it was only when they met at Glastonbury a few years ago that they decided to get in the studio together. Mow we have their first full-length collaborative album All Under One Moon and it was all done in one weekend at Duncan's studio with no real plan. What results is deep, atmospheric and high-class house and techno - would you expect much less?

Very briefly... Mr G is one of the main characters in popular Australian comedy mockumentary TV show Summer Heights High. As something of a self appointed head of drama at the fictional school the show is named for, he directs a bunch of school kids in a musical he wrote himself. The main song which is shown in the performance of the musical on the show, Naughty Girl, was made into a single, with various remixes created, having radio time.
Mr G is also a pseudonym for Colin McBean, one half of The Advent with Cisco Ferreira. The pair released one album and several EPs between 1997 and 2000 as G Flame & Mr G. In contrast to the uncompromising techno of The Advent, G Flame & Mr G's music was housier - although it's still not for the faint-hearted and is squarely aimed at the dancefloor. Mr G has continued to release solo material in the same mould since 2000, including an album called Me, Myself & I and numerous EPs.
