Exclusive Deekline Giant Pussy Interview & Mix

August 20

We just had Deekline round to our inbox for a virtual cup of a tea and a chat, to coincide with the beginning of his new project with Tim Healey - namely the evocatively named Giant Pussy Records. Deekline will need no introduction to readers of this blog - he's been running things for years, dropping fat miami-inspired booty bass with Wizard on labels like Rat and Against the Grain, while ex-Coburn producer Tim has been making a name for himself touring the world playing electro and fidget house to crowds everywhere - as I type he's on tour in South America. Lucky sod.

(The Flowdan question is cos we thought Deekline had done a track with him - but it turns out it was a bootleg. doh!)

So - tell us about Giant Pussy. Why did you start it, and what's the ethos behind it?

We came up with the idea during the Spring of this year. The ethos behind it I guess is drawing a wide range of genres together to make a phat sound that people can’t get enough of.
What makes it different?

I think we take our influences from everything but your average thing, and we also invest our time in artists that are new to the game but have heaps of potential.
How did you meet Tim Healey, and come to work with him?

I DJ’ed with Tim in Kazakstan, ha ha!! We deicded to knock heads together in the studio and before long we discussed setting up ship with a label and collaborating on tunes.
What was Flowdan like to work with?

I haven’t had the pleasure of working with him, but I have worked with some other great artists including Fatboy Slim, Ol Dirty Bastards, Sporty-O, Godfather, Benso, Armand Van Helden to name but a few.
What other cool collabs are coming up that we should all know about?

I’m re-releasing Don’t Smoke and there’s gonna be some wicked vocalists on that package, I’ve also done some wicked tunes with Ed Solo and last but my no means least are the singles continuing on from the ‘Back Off Coming Through’ album that I did with Wizard. So lots happening!
The Deekline and Wizard album this year was great, by the way - a really good mix of the dancefloor and the commercial. How was it received? Any more singles to come from it?

Yeah, we’ve had Angels and Bounce and Rebound is now released with some wicked remixes from Beat Assassins, and Fort Knox Five.
Do you have any good DJ Assault stories? He's a bit of a favourite round here.

You know what, Assault is a wicked vocalist, he is unique, and his lyrics are wicked. He can knock things up in hours and bring in results. Ok, so now to the actual question, Assault stories...lol...we took him to Wagamama once and he ordered a Katsu Curry with no rice and no curry sauce. When they told him it is just two chicken breasts he asked for four!
What music do you listen to that people wouldn't expect?

I find Pop music interesting as it has some amazing, I also love old Reggae, Jungle, and House music. I do have my Beethoven moments over breakfast too! But don’t tell anyone ;)
Tell us a good joke. Or a shit joke.

It isn’t a joke, but more of a riddle...
Man walks in to a bookshop and asks the sales assistant for a book. “Hi there, do you have a book called How to Climb Mountains By Alfredo Heights”
The shop assistant looks and has no joy finding the book. She turns to the man and says “Sir, Do you realise the book on How to Climb Mountains is written by a man called Afraid of Heights?” Lol..Told you I was bad ;)
It fish time: discuss.

I once had sardines put on my drivers seat on the way to the Breakspoll awards, sadly for me, I didn’t notice until I got out at the other end. It was a joke gone to far, and I stank like fish to collect my award. But I got em back don’t you worry!
Finally, what's coming up next for Giant Pussy records?

Our second release is coming out next week, which is Tim Healey and Tai, its called Pocket Rocket, and its a blaster.
