Say Hello To Floss Daily Everyone

Friday, 30 January 2009 Comments Off

This is Slim, aka Floss Daily - an original Teens Of Thailand member.

His is a distinctive swagger, a style of dress where one rarely looks neat,  but always immaculate. 

So unique is this approach to clothing that Slim is the only person I've ever seen to accomplish it. 

It's perhaps not surprising that his musical taste is not dissimilar to his wardrobe - eclectic and unpredictable. 

As one third of the Teens, he helped turn London's club scene upside down by introducing a cross genre, rapid fire, counter-intuitive way of DJing.  

A true team effort, they started tracks in the middle, pulled them off before the end, played obscure album tracks alongside obvious club hits. 

An uncompromising Grime track would follow a Prog Rock epic, which would proceed a chunky piece of classic New Jack Swing. WTF!

This is club music for the iPod generation someone said,  trying to get a grip on what was going on. 

A genuine musical meltdown, here cultural context, like the art of the seamless mix was abandoned for a sometimes chaotic, often exhilarating, always compelling explosion of energy.  

What's this?
