Markovich/A Music Project group with contributors local and on the Internet, the purpose is to create a music mixing acoustic and electronic sounds with a strong groove and thoughtful lyrics (well, sometimes) Project to create music in the footsteps of the Severn Delta posse: Portishead, Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps. The music is a Borg-like fusion of Electronic and Organic: plenty of real guitarsand basses used, as well as synths, samples and anything that can make a noise. The core of the group consists of Roy Phillips, compositions, instruments and production, with Jerry Allen and Margot du Bois lending their vocal talents as well as contributing lyrics and music. Additional producers include Brodo and the semi-mythical Frankie Wilde

Story behind the song
The much shortened radio edit of "Peter Tong", featuring the excellant vocals of Jerry Allen, transforms this dance track into something much more accessible.... This song documents an event on the island of Ibiza last summer. After sitting around on the beach all afternoon, playing guitars and bongoes and sampling local and imported produce, we thought we'd get a taxi into town and catch Peter Tong's set (a famous DJ, and more famous now that he has a film named after him), and try and get him to play a demo of one of our songs. He wouldn't (of course). Anyway, that's the story behind this song: it starts out on the beach, the sun going down, taxi to a club (I don't think it was Space - prob. Pacha - but that makes for a better lyric), back to the beach in the wee small hours.
Lyrics
Washed-up on the beach take a pill, eat the peach the sun sets in the east and it starts all over again fun, fun, fun, in the sun fun,fun in the sun The tide is coming in moonlight shining on tin drives you off into Space, but will the Big Man let you in? fun, fun, fun, in the sun me plus one plus a bottle of rum The DJ wouldn't play our song the skoobies they all gone landed back on the beach, but tell me, who is Peter Tong? fun, fun, fun, in the sun catch the lasers, one-by-one
