My name is Richard Spayman, I'm a drummer, I'm a producer, and this is about my latest album Whole Lother.
The title track from the record is called Whole Lother. It features two singers from London from
a band called The Hicks. Totally smashed it. I love what they did. It's my favourite track on the record.
I played drums and produced Whole Lother. It was just something that I've always wanted to do as a
follow-on to The Fives record. Being a drummer it gives you a different kind of angle on the music.
Another track from the record, this one is called Side to Side and it features
from London, Miss Charlene Hector.
No doubt I pick up influence from all the great artists that I've played with.
That's been amazing. You know I've been drummer for Jose James for many years.
I've toured with Flying Lotus, Cinematic Orchestra, The Late Great Guru and I was involved with a
number of artists on the broken beat scene. It's kind of jazz people and sort of electronica people,
all of the things that I'm into and trying to represent.
Mala has remixed Side to Side taking some acoustic music that I've made on my record and then doing
a remix that just takes it straight back into the club.
Thanks for listening. Arigato gozaimasu. Otsuka deisama desu.
