Neil Anderson A-go-go
In an era where music production often leans on digital pre-sets, resulting in an overly polished, almost sterile sound, Neil Anderson offers a refreshing alternative with his commitment to authenticity. As the founder of Original Gravity Records (2017), Anderson doesn't just produce tracks; he crafts time machines that transport listeners to the golden age of soul, funk, and reggae. His approach is refreshingly organic, often laying down drum tracks with a single microphone to capture the raw, unfiltered essence of the sound. This minimalist technique isn't about cutting corners; it's a deliberate choice to embrace the imperfections that give vintage recordings their character. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Anderson often plays up to 80% of the instruments on his recordings, but Initially a drummer. From the deep grooves of the bass and drums to the rhythmic strumming of the guitar, and even the occasional lead vocals, Anderson immerses himself fully in his creations. This hands-on approach allows him to infuse each track with his unique touch, ensuring a cohesive and authentic sound across his favourite genres - Ska, early Reggae, Blues, R&B, Funk, Latin, Boogaloo and 60s Mod beat. The result? New music that feels like a long-lost classic, ready to be rediscovered on a dusty vinyl.
