born in leicester in 1972, simon begg grew up in leamington spa before
moving to london in 1991. he studied at trinity school and mid warwickshire
college, where he didn't study anything much, because he was too busy
mucking around with reel to reels, radios, guitars and drum kits in his
parents basement. so began the life and work of si begg.
hunting out anything peculiar or odd from second hand record shops in
leamington spa, (a habit he still practises) si was messing around in bands
from an early age. introduced to early chicago acid through listening to
john peel, si eventually put down the guitar and drums to pick up on the
more electronic side of music. mix tapes from the nearby eclipse club (home
to doc scott) filtered up to si's home town consolidating that interest in
electronica, leading him into worshipping bands such as warp's lfo.
he has been a solo artist recording professionally since 1993 (also
recording very un-professionally before then) gaining experience through
engineering live sound and studio engineering. also keeping him busy are
two record labels, mosquito which he si co-runs with techno artist
christian vogel and noodles which he runs by himself.
he has recorded three albums to date as well as many 12's and remixes,
working under different pseudonyms (purely for contractual reasons) such
as: buckfunk 3000, cabbage boy, bigfoot, dr nowhere vs the maverick dj. his
work is pretty damn eclectic covering a lot of ground, but always
maintaining an attitude of experimentalism and cross-genre inter-breeding.
not content with just being a recording artist he also performs live and
has been djing for the last five years in the u.k and europe, playing well
known clubs, such as the tresor club in berlin, the blue note, etc. he
currently has two residencies in london - big beat boutique at the scala
and freakin the frame at the end.
the press have received his work enthusiastically and si begg is renowned
for his originality, innovation and downright funkiness in the world of
electronic music and dance.
