Tombee is back with his 4th release on Jack to Phono with Strike Up The Band. Hailing from Newcastle (home of the Brown) DJ, producer and film-maker Tombee often describes his sound as Folk-Hop. The definition of Folk music, if you look it up, is music handed down from generation to generation, which when considering the beats interwoven and flipped here, kinda makes sense…

This time Tombee teams up with Mr Konfuze & Lunatic, Tom Eno and Winter North Atlantic to create one eclectic download and remix package! From a dancefloor friendly party vibe to the ambiance of Winter North Atlantic.

Past collaborations have included Diesler & Capstone, Black Grass, Unique Records, Phase 5 stereo, The Seal Cub Clubbing Club and Soulfood , Argentina. Tombee is certainly spreading his sounds far and wide. Tombee is currently working on his first album and we will back soon!

 “Like Beck, with a thousand more influences than he already has…Really darn interesting… Prince or MGMT or Kings of Convenience ” Bugbear website (Glasswerks)

“Opening the set, the pair performed on stage alone perhaps in order to disallow Tom from blending into the rest of the instrumental band and to accentuate his key role in the music. Starting with an old number “Crashing” and my personal favourite of the set, Bright’s wholesome vocals together with Tom’s effortless Spanish guitar picking evoked a melancholic sound that really put something behind the lyrics. While the single “Country’s” smooth melody over the up tempo country beat was welcomed and appreciated by the audience, the lack of the Spanish guitar meant it lost out on originality. However, while often bands abandon meaningful lyrics for a catchy rhythm, they successfully manage to combine powerful poetry with a memorable song.”
