Antidote Releases The Art Of Flipping Channels 2005 Osymyso has been around a while now, his first 12” release was back in 1995 and since then there has been all manner of work emanating from this solo artist. Humour is an important aspect of osymyso’s style and it was with a sense of honour and surprise that he has managed to work with some of his comedy hero’s. In 2002 he made a video remix of “My Wrongs #8245-8249 & 117”, a short film by Chris Morris which was followed in early 2003 by a second collaboration “Bushwhacked 2”, a 12” released on Warp Record. More recently he created “Spaced Jam” a video montage of the his favourite sitcom “Spaced” which appeared on the Special Edition DVD and produced the soundtrack album for “Shaun of the Dead”. Simon Pegg of Spaced fame also provided his drumming skills on “Pandemonium” as part of the latest osymyso release. The comedy connection is continuing on a weekly basis as he mixes “The Milk Run”, a late night music and comedy show on late night Radio One which has run for over 50 one hour episodes. The show recently reached the top 5 of “Listen Again” shows from the Radio One website. One afternoon 1998 he created “Pat n’ Peg”, an annoying yet hugely popular cut-up of Eastenders which features two old women slapping each other repeatedly whilst screaming “You Bitch, You Cow!”. Rather surprisingly the track went on to be a huge success and resulted in acres of press, radio interviews and gigs. The track was finally self released in 2000 and sold out in weeks and in 2001 a free download on the net of a video to the track resulted in over 100,000 downloads in a month. 2001 saw the release of another highly illegal record, “Intro-inspection” a mix containing 101 intros from well known pop songs that caught the zeitgeist of the time and spread the word of osymyso to readers of the Guardian, The New York Times, The Face and most impressively Record Collector who all ran big articles about the ‘bootleg’ scene of that year, a scene that osymyso found himself inadvertently part of during his now weekly European gigs. It was around this time that Q magazine placed osymyso as one of the 10 DJ’s you must see before you die. Osymyso can also been seen performing AV sets in clubs up and down the country employing the cut and paste style of his music, in 2004 went on a mini tour of the UK re-scoring “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” and in October 2005 will rescore “Four” at the ICA. As an early adopter of mp3 technology osymyso has been giving away free mp3 and video downloads on his website since 2001, his latest project “05ymy50” is a new album of 50 parts that are uploaded as they are finished for free download.
