Release Notes:
Born in Salford in 1975, Christian Wood - aka Crowhead - caught the
dance bug at age 15. His first real musical love affair was with break
hardcore and rave anthems and he soon began collecting flyers,
travelling to warehouse parties, buying records at Spin Inn and Eastern
Bloc and listening to Sunset 106 and Stu Allen on Key103.
At 19, a friend passed him a copy of Ultimate Breaks and Beats Vol. 9
and that was that, breaks were the new vice, and he set about rabidly
collecting rare funk, soul, rock and disco records along with any other
vinyl obscurities he could find.
Before long he connected with Fat City Records and started promoting
their club night 'Counter Culture', which eventually became the now
legendary (and still going strong) 'Friends and Family'. In 2003 he
signed a deal with Grand Central Records, released two EP's as 'The
Nudge' and began DJ'ing full time, playing around all over the UK and
Europe. He's still a vinyl addict, but, as he poetically put's it, he's
'not a fuckin' nerd with it. Records are to be played with!'
In 2008 Crowhead signed to ATIC Records and set about creating his
debut LP, 'Born With Teeth'. Hatched in 'The Nest', his top floor
recording studio set in Manchester's rainy Northern Quarter, the album
is bass heavy and laced with vintage synths and dope samples. Along
with Crowhead's own dulcet tones, this future classic features guest
vocals from regular partner in rhyme MC Kwasi, Mikey D.O.N. (of Krispy
3 fame), Milwaukee's Rusty P's, and label mate Niko.
Crowhead - aka Woody, is an unsung hero of Manchester's underground
club scene having worked with Fat City for years promoting their
'Counter Culture' and 'Friends & Family' nights. An obsessive collector
of rare and obscure vinyl, he's DJ'd worldwide and released two singles
as The Nudge on the now defunct Grand Central Records. In 2008 he
signed to ATIC and Immediately set aabout creating his debut LP, 'Born
With Teeth', due for release on Oct. 12th 2009.
