In a previous life, as a few pals may remember, I booked and sorted shows and events here in London, Canada. The mainstay and point of focus early on was a modest venue as pub as club known as the APK (Alex P. Keaton).

A particularly memorable night (and one that fought, flounced and blustered its weight into one of the heavier snowfalls of that winter) was soundtracked by Lowfish, Canada’s preeminent electro impresario. The set was brilliant and Greg (Lowfish) was an absolute gem of a dude. On our way out the door he gifted me an armful of Suction Records and Lowish releases, including a compilation disc out of the US that he’d been featured on a few years earlier - ‘Big System Morsels’.

BSM was, as I later found out, curated and compiled by a fella named Chris Doria (My Kill Jack’s On / Soft Operator) and featured exclusive works from Greg / Lowfish, The Flashbulb / Benn L. Jordan, My Kill Jack’s On and others. 

Released in ’04, it was a thoughtful selection and well sequenced collection of stylistically disperate tracks that quickly became, whether as part of my weekly radio show or as part of a night out, an essential bit of kit.

One tune in particular was ‘THE tune’ that consistently and dependably landed with a considerable emotional heft - My Kill Jack’s On’s ‘Transpubliction’. It WAS and IS this flawlessly executed work that lands somewhere between the smudged and timeless ‘music as memory’ and future nostalgia of BoC and the exacting sounds / audio ceramics of Tim Exile or OPN. Extraordinary stuff (and it may or not be on Youtube, albeit with the title misspelled, if you’re keen to find it).

So why not then, nearly 20 years after BSM was released, ask Chris - via what may or not be a functional email contact - if he’d maybe wanna put a thing or two together with and for A Person Disguised As People? Bit of a long shot, completely. And yet (& yet) here we are - a bona fide Field Of Dreams type o’ thing.

It’s been a real joy getting to know Chris and his work while sorting what have become the Heart Decay and Cluster B EP’s. Worth the wait, I/we think.

And as ever a massive bit of gratitude to the inimitable creative homie that is Zachary Gray for the last minute gussy up.
