Osymyso Brings To You… THE ART OF FLIPPING CHANNELS, the brand new mixtape from one of the greatest cut & paste men of contemporary times. With the smell of DMC World Championships fresh in the air Osymyso uses no fewer than 50 tracks to demonstrate the art of the hamster with the kind of aplomb that QBert would be proud of.

A mix to be appreciated by heads from all genre’s, ‘The Art Of Flippin’ Channels’ spans a plethora of musical styles; Kid Koala, RJD2 and Wagon Christ 12”s are perforated with kitsch vinyl like the theme tunes from Miami Vice and Hill Street Blues along with samples from just about everyone that’s anyone in New Wave comedy.

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 Records. More recently he created “Spaced Jam” a video montage of his favourite sitcom “Spaced” 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.

Hip hop’s answer to Aphex Twin, one afternoon in 1998 Osymyso 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!” 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.

Receiving critical acclaim from The Guardian, The New York Times, The Face and Record Collector who have all lauded him with praise for his role in the “bootleg” scene as well as being named as one of the 10 DJ’s you must see before you die in Q Magazine Osymyso looks set to receive another rapturous applause with his latest release.
