According to a press release I recieved from Mike Grant at Moods and Grooves, G Flame and Mr. G is Colin McBean's solo work. I always heard that G Flame and Mr. G was a duo -- as you wrote -- but this stated otherwise. Have I totally been misled? If anyone knows for sure, the info would be much appreciated. Here's that press release: G Flame and Mr G ------------------ G Flame and Mr G is really one man: Colin McBean. Colin McBean formerly recorded with Cisco Ferreira under the tile The Advent producing intense and relentless techno. Colin originally moved to London from Derby to study Fashion Design and has worked with the likes of Zandra Rhodes, Issey Miyake and Michiko. In 1989 through Cisco he met Keith from Bang The Party, they then formed the DJ trio KCC, where they used to play as residents at the Confusion parties. Colin and Cisco started working together in 1990 on an engineering job for Jay Denhams Fade To Black. Their first release, "Bio Rhythms 2" was on Network, they also produced Salt Tanks ST1 and ST2 on Internal. Signing to Internal Records in 1994 the pair released a series of critically acclaimed albums and eventually started their own label Kombination Research. McBean ended the partnership in 1999 citing his reluctance to continue touring. His work as G Flame and Mr G bridges the gap between house and techno with murky disco basslines and the sharp clean high end percussion of techno at the pace of house. The tracks roll with an undeniable groove embellished by muted samples and synth notes. G Flame and Mr G explore the funk available at lower velocities. -----------------------------------
