This Halloween is the 5th anniversary of White Girl Lust. It’s been a hell of a ride. So the next two weeks we are going to share some of the legacy with the world.
As some of you may know, I used to do drum ‘n bass as D.Ecco & Sabotage on Andy C’s Frequency label with my partner Shawn. Around the time of our first little taste of success, Clayton of WGL fame (who will here out be referred to as Yoko) moved into our house/ home studio. He brought all these exotic instruments like guitars, bass guitars, drum kits, and shakers. At first we had no idea what to make of these foriegn objects, soon we were captivated by Yoko’s voodoo.
Around this same time I was getting bored with the “rules” of d’n b and listening to a ton of old punk, electroclash (remember that), and the emerging DFA empire. Soon we were doing D’nB songs trying to use these influences and they were all quickly shot down by the label. Ha! The popular D’nB was getting more and more heavy metal and the dance floors were a bunch of sweaty dudes with their shirts off slam dancing. Not exactly a place for a sexy ass dude like myself.
Here is a taste of the final D’nB tunes we turned out. Next episode you’ll learn how Yoko broke up the band.
D.Ecco & Sabotage \”Wanna Be Your Dog\”
Extra trivia point: This song is actually where the White Girl Lust name came from.
