Pete Murder Tone Interview with Ray Hurford of Small Axe
AN INTERVIEW

Ray Hurford, creator of Small Axe, that most excellent of reggae fanzines (now on the web) is a well loved and respected reggae fanatic. Turning his hand to producing the music he loved near the turn of the century, 2001 saw released of Original Version -- the first of four albums from his outfit The Small Axe People.

This was one of the most intriguing and singular reggae records ever. It has inspired some very strange and extreme reactions and it certainly got some curious reviews. It was compared by various reviewers to Steve Reich, Daniel Miller's Silicon Teens, early Lee Perry and Lloyd Barnes' productions, Prince Jazzbo's early digital rhythms, and to Berlin outfit Rhythm and Sound.

Ray was kind enough to speak to Pete Murder Tone recently about the early days of The Small Axe People.

Pete Murder Tone Interview with Russ D of Disciples
AN INTERVIEW

The Disciples are indisputably key figures in the UK ‘New School’ Roots/Dub scene which emerged in the mid to late 80s. Starting out building rhythms in the bedroom they progressed to making dubplates and then full albums for Jah Shaka. Later they went on to put out their own releases and to run the Boomshackalacka soundsystem & magazine. Right now in ’05 the Disciples are producing some of the toughest conscious sounds anywhere--with both new and established UK & JA singers and deejays. Initially they were a two-person crew, consisting of brothers Russ and Lol Bell-Brown. Lol has since moved on to pursue other stuff, but still retains close links to the scene. Current main man/producer Russ (aka Russ D/Russ Disciple) was kind enough to speak to Pete Murder Tone recently about the musical development of the Disciples over the years.
