Doctor Jadge
DOCTOR JADGE IS JUST THE ONE GUY, LIKE FATBOY SLIM!!! HE HAS A RECORD OUT AND IT'S ONLY 2.50 CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT HE MUST BE WILD OUT OF HIS MIND TO CHARGE THAT MUCH FOR 42 MINUTES AND 50 SECONDS OF BIPOLAR NOISE!
HE CALLED IT CELEBRITY TERRORIST BECAUSE HE'S TIRED OF SEEING THOSE TWO WORDS IN THE PRESS, WHAT A FRUIT LOOP.. ANYHOW BEFORE HE TRIES TO MEGA RIP YOU OFF FOR HIS PRODIGY KNOCK-OFF "BIG BEAT 2005" SHPIEL, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD BASICALLY ALL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM HERE!!! THREE CHEERS FOR STAB IN THE BACK PIRACY!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
IN THE LATE 90-S HAVING BEEN RAISED ON THE MOST DIABOLICAL OF STADIUM-FILLING MUSIC FOR NON-MUSIC FANS AND DEATH ROW GANGSTA RAP, GEORGE MAUND AKA ROB MONEY AKA DR JADGE SET OUT TO CREATE ELECTRONICA THAT WOULD, AS ONE TESTIMONY PUT IT SO ELOQUENTLY "RATTLE RIBCAGES". THE RESULT WAS 2003'S SICK DARK LITTLE PISSTAIN OF A DISK CALLED "SHOOT PIGS IN THE FACE" WHICH WAS (HARDLY) RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY ON HIS OWN LABEL "PAPER STREET SOAP CO. RECORDS". DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR COPIES FROM HIS SMALL GROUP OF FUNKYARD COLLEGE BUDDIES THE RECORD SOLD ALMOST 40 COPIES IN A MATTER OF DAYS. ENERGIZED LIKE AN ELECTRO BUNNY AT YULETIDE, DR JADGE SET OUT TO MAKE AN ENTIRE ALBUM'S WORTH. ALAS THE STRAINS OF HOMEWORK GOT IN THE WAY AND JADGE COULD NOT DILLY DALLY ABOUT NOT MAKING LOU REED STYLE SPACEY LITTLE NUMBERS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF: THUS DR JADGE WAS PUT ON HIATUS.
FAST FORWARD TO FALL 2 KAY FOUR AND THERE'S A DUDE IN AN L-SHAPE ROOM AND AN 8-SHAPED JOB WITH MORE RESOURCES THAN FINGERS AND MORE TIME THAN PIRATE SOFTWARE. LEAVE TO FERMENT FOR 4 MONTHS AND BLAMMO THE FOLLOW UP IS THE FULL LENGTH "CELEBRITY TERRORIST". ADD A REMIX AND YOU HAVE 42 MINUTES 50 OF MUSIC THAT OUGHT TO PUT THE CHEMS AND LIAM HOWLETT IN THEIR PLACE BUT DOESN'T BECAUSE IT'S TOO BUSY FREAKY-DEEKY-DANCING TO "SCORPIO" ON REPEAT. SHOW NO SHAME!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO RECREATE THE IN-STUDIO RIDICULE DUE TO THE FACT PEOPLE WOULD FALL ASLEEP.
SERIOUSLY IF I COULD DJ I WOULDN'T PLAY MY OWN MUSIC.
Your musical influences
TO BE HONEST THERE'S NO INFLUENCE AS STRONG AS A COWBOY ON THE END OF AN ELECTRIC CABLE SAYING "THE MIX IS PRETTY OVERDRIVEN". MANY THANKS TO CAESAR VIGILANTE AND MALLOW BEIGE FOR THEIR PART IN SHOWING AN UNTRAINED EAR WHAT THIS SHIT IS ALL ABOUT. THE MASS MEDIA YADA YADA WAS A HUGE INFLUENCE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE A DUMP WITHOUT HAVING A REALITY TV SHOW OR A SUICIDE BOMBER INVADE YOUR PRIVATE SPACE, HENCE THE TITLE.
MUSICALLY I CAN'T DENY THAT THE PRODIGY'S MUSIC AND OLD SCHOOL RAP HAVEN'T PLAYED AN ENORMOUS PART, BUT I CAN DENY ALLEGATIONS THAT I ONCE ATTENDED AN INTERNET MEET-UP OF FANS OF THE EUROVISION SONGS CONTEST. I SUPPOSE WITH THAT IN MIND, MALICIOUS RUMOUR SPREADERS WERE ALSO A MASSIVE INFLUENCE ON THE ALBUM.
What equipment do you use?
WELL THAT'S A TOUGHY. SEE I HAVE ABOUT 3500 WORTH OF ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED MUSIC SOFTWARE, AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN ABLE TO BRANCH OUT EQUPIMENTALLY, I HAVEN'T REALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO USE ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE MYSTERY BOX THAT IS THE COMPUTER-MACHINE.
Anything else?
YES, BUT REALLY IF I CAN SAY ANYTHING I'LL TELL YOU THIS IS A DE-FUCKING-PARTURE FROM TECKNO FOR ME, THE NEXT STEP IS GOING TO BE IN A SIDEWAYS DIRECTION, BUT ALSO SLIGHTLY UPWARD, LIKE THE WAY A KNIGHT MOVES IN CHESS. SCHEMES!
