"our greatest inspiration has come from soundtracks. henry mancini
and roy budd have always been our favorites," explains martin
dingle of the london based duo the karminsky experience inc. "when
we started djing together we were the first to play soundtracks
alongside off beat, easy, and sometimes very psychedelic records
in a club environment," adds partner james munns.
with this aural blueprint in mind, martin and james formed the
karminsky experience inc. in january of 1991. after a series of
successful and influential club nights in and around the english
capital, the karminsky experience inc. released three compilations
for polygram. "inflight entertainment", "espresso espresso" and
"further inflight entertainment" were released to critical acclaim
between 1996 and 1997 and notched up impressive combined global
sales of nearly 100,000 copies.
after the release of their first compilations for polygram, the
karminsky experience inc. spent the next few years traveling
extensively - djing for the likes of hugh hefner, russ meyer, ken
kesey and burt bacharach at a wide range of events including film
festivals in copenhagen, vienna and london and for a number of
high profile companies including diesel, levis, viva tv and
channel 4.
in 1997 the karminsky experience inc. launched their own record
label and released their first 12" ep. "exploration" was the nme
single of the week upon its release. this poly-rhythmic,
outer-space, sitar-funk workout also featured on thievery
corporation's 1998 dj kicks installment and has been a mainstay in
their dj set ever since. karminsky's second 12" ep, "the hip
sheik" was equally successful, featuring in the award winning
italian film "l'utima baccio".
the karminsky experience inc. have since remixed a number of
artists including tim love lee, the gentle people, nicola conte,
piero umiliani and ursula 1000. the duo's debut album, the power
of suggestion offers a truly unique listening experience complete
with near-eastern percussion workouts, easy-listening string
flourishes and ambient soundtrack grooves.
never one's to rest on their laurels, the karminsky experience are
already back in the studio.
"we've been working on the next album which is going very well"
says martin. "a lot of the time we get inspired from small samples
off old records. during the writing of this album (the power of
suggestion) we were collecting belly dance records and weird
exotica. as the layers built up we developed scenes for each track
and that's the part where it gets exciting. . . we're really
pleased with how it sounds."
