Hub began to germinate from a party based DJ posse back in ‘95 with front room mixing ho-downs, full on parties, club sessions, and later; Stu Shaw’s PC and quasi digital/analogue experimentation. By ‘98 things had graduated to ‘slowburn’ song writing, atari based construction and the occasional sample led to some pleasing developments San’s vocals. 70’s fusion DJ, Phil Waters, brought his record collection and some pre-teen choir training to bare on the post-dance rhythm content and began writing lyrics, re-learning how to soul-sing, and applying vocal counter melody, and phrasing. By now Stu and Phil had informally decided they were a creative unit. Stu began work building the studio that would slowly evolve into the ‘hub-lab’. Re-kindling instrumentation based song-writing skills to great effect. Phil meanwhile began to further explore deep word play, semantics and vocal harmony.
Always having to keep one eye on the rent book has made progress slow. But we’re now beginning to produce results that we feel represent ‘the sounds inside our heads’; and our non-style, although often distinctive, is sufficiently vague to allow creative freedom outside the constraints of any of the usual ‘our sound’ or ‘taste’ or ‘is it mainstream’ or ‘is it clever’ illusions.
Increasingly, collaborations with muso’s outside of our loop help keep the music jumping about to places that HUB might otherwise have by-passed. We often use sounds to help bring a track into a different focus, a new resonance, which we then move with or against, depending on mood, feeling, circumstance, or whatever
