Why this name?
The name came God Complex came from a track by the pioneers of rap music "The Last Poets" and a track called "The White mans Got a God Complex" and we just liked the idea.
Do you play live?
We have appeared live throughout North Staffordshire including "The Cheshire Cheese" and "The Full moon" as well as loads of Festivals in the area. We also were runners up in the signal Radio "Battle of The Bands" in 1999.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet has changed the music industry for the better, and will stop the big labels having so much control over the whole industry. We look forward to the death of MTV and all corporate involvement. long Live democracy
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not if it meens turning our back on freedom
Band History:
DJ FRESH IS THE MC AND DJ FROM THE BAND GOD COMPLEX FROM THE STOKE ON TRENT AREA OF STAFFORDSHIRE. THESE TUNES ARE EXPERIMENTS IN SOME OLD SKOOL/ STOKE SOUNDING HIP HOP. WE ARE NOT TAKING THESE TOO SERIOUSLY AT THE MOMENT, BUT THEY WERE FUN TO CREATE AND HAVE REVIVED SOME MEMORIES OF STOKE-ON-TRENT OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS. WE BEGAN LISTENING TO HIP HOP WAY BACK IN THE EARLY 1980'S. THIS WITH ELECTRONIC MUSIC LIKE KRAFTWERK AND CYBOTRON HAVE BEEN THE MAIN INFLUENCES ON OUR STYLE. WE MAINLY CONCENTRATE ON VERY DARK TECHNO SOUNDNG TUNES, BUT SINCE HEARING THE LIKES OF PARRADOX AND KERMEO HAVE FELT THE URGE TO REVIVE THE OLD SKOOL SOUND. I WAS IN A RAP CREW WAY BACK IN 1987. THE CREW WAS CALLED THE THUNDERBOYZ AND WAS INFLUENCED BY THE BEASTIE BOYS, SADLY IT DIDN'T REALISE MUCH SUCCESS, ALTHOUGH DIZZY D (DANIEL SPENCER) WENT ON TO SOME SUCCESS WITH HIS BAND 'THIS AINT CHICAGO' AND LATER 'CANDY FLIP' AND MOST RECENTLY HIS LATEST INCARNATION "SOUL MEKANIK" WITH HIS BROTHER KELVIN ANDREWS.THEY HAVE WORKED ON THE NEW ROBBIE WILLIAMS ALBUM "RUDE BOX" AND ALSO THE TRACK "ROCK DJ" FROM HIS EARLY CAREER. FELLOW STOKIE LEGEND DAZ WILLOTT IS A HERO OF THE OLD SKOOL IN STOKE. HE WAS THE DJ AT SHELLEYS AND ENTROPY, AS WELL AS "GODS KITCHEN". HE IS STILL A MASSIVE NAME TODAY. IF YOU ENJOY THESE TRACKS THEN WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL, BUT EITHER WAY PLEASE VISIT OUR MAIN WEBSITES WHICH WILL BE LINKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LINKS TO OUR OTHER SITES WITHIN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SECTION OF THE SITE. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH DAZ WILLOTT AND PARRADOX ON SOME COLLABORATIONS. ALSO REMIXING BY GOD COMPLEX AND SOME VIDEOS PROJECTS. THE VIDEO FOR ROOM 237 WAS DONE BY ME AND THE REMIX IS BY ME "I CAN DO SOMETHING WHEN I CAN BE BOTHERED" YOU SEE I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TRAWLING THROUGH ENDLESS PILES OF VINYL, LOOKING FOR BASSLINES, SAMPLES AND CRAZY sh*** TO ADD THAT TOUCH OF CLASS. MOSTLY FROM THE LATE 70s AND EARLY 80s, BUT SOMETIMES SOME NORTHERN SOUL GEMS. (LONG LIVE THE TORCH) BIG SHOUTS GOING OUT TO LOCAL ARTISTS PARRADOX, KERMEO, THE CHAPTER, THE ALSAGER SQUADRON,THE GAR, GOON SQUAD MEMBERS, INSTRUMENTALIST, COZER, ANDY BREO MY MAIN MAN AND BAND MEMBER OF GOD COMPLEX, DAZ WILLOTT ( THE ORIGINAL HOMEBOY)SOUL MEKANIK AND ROBBIE WILLIAMS DJ FRESH
