NEPAtizm - Vol 1

Tony Nwachukwu

NEPA Recordings, London

Founding member of Attica Blues, the cornerstone of the original Mo Wax empire, Tony has been jointly responsible for several soulful future-looking classics on the EPs 'Vibes...' and 'Blueprint'. Remixes for the likes of Galliano, Flora Purim and Pressure Drop followed, and Tony was soon recognised as the remix and production guru everyone suspected him to be. But community has always been close to Tony's heart, and he became inspired by the work of other ground-breaking producers and musicians and created a forum for listening to works in progress called CD-R. Hosted at the world-renowned Plastic People, CD-R has developed into a flourishing community of music-makers and producers, CD-R recently celebrated the launch of its first compilation album and has appeared in many cities all over the UK as part of a cultural initiative by the British Council. For this show, he puts together a special mix of offbeat disco and electronic music, and has a chat with producer and singer Max Cole.
