It's a very English festival, Glade ... sunshine, a bunch of mad hippies, Jeff Mills headlining, and off to one side a cozy little Sancho Panza tent that on friday night hosted Veryverywrongindeed - Tim Sheridan playing back to back with Mr C for four hours, a killer set from Mike Monday, Josh Tweek and Frenchy warming up, and a live set bang in the middle by UK techno duo Spektre.

We're releasing that set as veryverywrongindeed's first CD in November - Spektre, Live at Glade. But in the meantime, here's a sampler of two of the cuts from the upcoming album.

With the GRIM EP now on Beatport, Tim Sheridan is gearing up for the followup, Freakshow, a collaboration with Jon Carter and spoken-word genius Ferank Manseed. The ringmaster of WRONG is ready to roll...

The freakshow of fucked up peversion
... is a travelling show - an excursion
It's a trip to the depths of depravity.
The manic laughter...



LISTEN TO SAMPLES: Freakshow - original mix

Here's both sides of the Veryverywrongindeed MO: a tweaking dancefloor freakout WTF!? moment and an evocative, emotional take on vulnerability - lyrics and all. An explanation? Read the Tim Sheridan Faith messageboard posting.

And for what it's worth, the song was overheard and snapped up at an Ibizan villa party. dub KULT is one of the seven artists working with veryverywrongindeed - one of biggest UK wonky minimalists you've never heard of, having had a Groove top 10 as far back as 2003, and now releasing on Traum/Raum, Curle, Music Man, Signals, and working with the bassplayer of the Guillemots on new music...

Afterhours tracks - with vocals? Rough and raw, weird, bleepy, hypnotic and wrong - the veryverywrongindeed label is afterhours music hand-selected by Mixmag’s “chief king of weirdness” Tim Sheridan. Too lo-fi for the minimal crew, too late-night for the mainstream - but just right for the DJs already raving about the label - from Jeff Samuel to Mike Monday, the Italoboyz to Mathias Schaffhäuser of WARE... And now Tim Sheridan, working with northern minimal wonderkids Spektre, releases his first collaborations for the label - vinyl out Jan 08. Listen to

Our first label demo Live at veryverywrongindeed, mixed by Richard Seeley - whose first track on VVWI, Juicy Vermin, has just been licensed to the new Ellen Allien Boogy Bytes compilation.

After a four-star first release, the underground railway continues ... Andre Crom's debut EP "Notaufnahme" with Tigerskin on Liebe*Detail was a sensation played by Magda, Troy Pierce, Roman Flügel, Steve Bug and Luciano, as were the followup EPs on Ellen Allien's label Memo Records, Leftroom and Berlins legendary Sender Records. On his VVWI EP the soon-to-be Berlin resident delivers two deadly doses of bleepy and sequenced dancefloor mayhem. It's no coincidence that the name of the a-side "Intensivstation" is the german term for emergency room.

That's very nice of you to say it like that, but people can be so cynical these days that'll actually look bad. Shame isn't it, how paying a simple compliment is a bad thing? Well... in England. It's very English. Sorry, I may be being over cautious as it's easy to confuse praise with hype these days. I agree things are derivative in the Rock world. I've not heard anything original sonically-speaking from there for decades. But I suppose that's what it's about.

Full interview.... (There's also part 2 and Tim is also mentioned in the MoS interview of Paul Oakenfold.)

The full, unedited text of the Tim Sheridan interview in Faith (Registration may be required - but it's worth it.)

Black box recorders, unaswerable questions, kittens, beaches and feral cats... An interview in which our protagonist displays his ability to answer almost any question on the spot...
