East Londons own cross-over pioneer..
Exposure 58
As BIG fans of Whitey it has been a challenge to hold off blogging about this track, but we were waiting for its general release so as not to spoil the labels fun. Finally this has happened and we can now tell you all about his latest masterful creation complete with trademark electric grooves, dirty bass and carefree vocals.
Whitey sound pretty much kicked off the electro/rock cross over style that is so much on the scene at the moment. Pioneering the genre hasn\\\\\\\'t left his resting on his laurels and his new material is fresh, innovative and totally catchy. This track, titled individuals is dedicated to those who are simply too cool. I could write more about this, but cant be bothered.
How could you not love the nonchalant way he sings, how could you not love the dirty dirty bass and beats?
Just listen to it, listen!

Blonde on Blonde, 1966
It’s always slightly tedious to bang on about how some prodigy set an unassailable standard many years ago and if you really really try then you might achieve something reminiscent. Well, let’s not get caught up in all that elitism. It’s terribly dull really. To our constant delight there are musical wonders around every corner, whether in the archives or last Thursday in some dark and not-so-smokey bar (Health Act 2006 (c. 28)) somewhere as we clutched our pint and discovered what’s happening in our times.
And that’s what we plan to do with this new addition to Record-Play’s weekly exposure. We’ll find wonder here and there. We’re not always going to have to do anything especially clever, or find anyone amazingly special and new. Sometimes simple and good is going to be enough, something to distract us for a moment and, without being too grand about it, make everyone’s life a tiny bit better. What’s wrong with that? Let us know if anything comes to mind, otherwise we’ll just carry on.
But there’s no harm in launching a new musical adventure with a nod in the direction of a musician of old, though. This exquisite track just jumps out of the pages of the Dylanopedia, quintessentially him. If you wanted to parody him you’d sing it like this. What’s it about? You can find quite a few theories without looking too hard... God? Hell? Joan Baez? Van Gogh’s sister-in-law? But muse on it for yourself, it was made for you, after all.
Here’s a decidedly fresh-faced Bob Dylan. Picture the alien creature that just landed in the village green, making its first tentative moves in a strange new world. It’s time to tell it “well, this is a pretty good representation of the Dylan sound, and you might as well get familiar with it, ‘cos it’s going to come up later on…” Well, something like that, I guess. Right, hush up everyone, and listen.
