Biography

The funk phoenix rises from the flames of rave.

Soopasoul is that rarest of things in this electronic age of dance music. A band where everything is played in live, where loops and plug-ins are passed over in favour of a drum kit in the living room, guitars and bass that are lying around and a funky horn section so steeped in tradition that you can feel the real deal being played out in front of your ears.

Danny Hybrid the man behind Soopasoul grew up in Manchester and has been a music pioneer since the age of 14. He bought his first Technics decks at the age of 15 with the proceeds of long hours of glass collecting in a club. This was in the eighties when you were as likely to find a time machine in your house as Technics decks. He was told by the sales assistants that these “were for professionals son” which made it all the sweeter when he paid for two and a mixer in cash and told the startled assistant to call him a cab to take them home in. Next up was an 808 which he started to program creating beats for his scratches. He started writing his own music signing to Playhard records (home to the Happy Mondays in those days) then started his own label Megablast releasing a couple of big tunes Twisted Tambourine and Hypnotising. It was here that Danny got his first taste of the dog eat dog world of the music biz as his record was ripped off by a London Crew called Caveman who had a chart hit with their version “I’m Ready” Ouch.

    There's downloadable funk mix on the Soopasoul website from Feb 08. Anybody know a tracklisting, as I'd really love to get hold of some of the tracks on it, and use them in my own mixes.
