F:AMILIAR RECORDINGS
· FMLR001 "Basement Blossoms" Compilation (CD ONLY)
…features electronic compositions by Detroit artists>
music by roland king (mike huckaby), theorem, greg campbell,
lisa ross, taj bell, kwame, jordan, d-type&soulo,
tony ollivierra and john williams.
The music styles on this comp. range from
jungle
to jazzy house to
hindi-triphop
& of course intelligent, abstract & atmospheric techno interpretations.
Another must-have for the summer is the Detroit Grand Pubahs/ Heckle & Jeckle
double pack (interview & mix CD). It was recorded live at WCBN with host
Brendan Gillen(Ectomorph). It features hilarious chatter, unreleased tracks,
plus a bumpin' H&J techno mix! Heckle & Jeckle is made up of Paris the Black
Fu and Bileebob who wreck decks and keep the party hype and jumpin' through
their turntable antics. Paris & Andy Toth (Dr. Toefinger) are the infamous
Detroit Grand Pubahs (JIVE ELECTRO). The success of their track "Sandwiches"
is just the beginning from these beat freaks.
The double-CD and F:amiliar Compilation are on sale at Motor, Record Time,
Threads (Hamtramck), and other metro locations.

F:amiliar Products is a refreshing pitcher of creative juice organized by
John"Bileebob"Williams & friends. A publication (F:amiliar Magazine) and CD
("Basement Blossoms"-F:amiliar Recordings) were launched simultaneously just
before the beginning of the millenium. Both items are gems, valuable to the
collector of Detroit's electronic underground culture. Approximately 200
units of each were produced. The mag was hand bound with nuts and bolts
containing interviews with Paris the Black Fu, Theorem, Autechre, Hot Box
promoter Meredith Ledger, Parliament keyboardist Bernie Worell, DJ top tens,
local photography and more. Another issue is in the works as well as an
online version.

JOHN WILLIAMS AKA DJ BILEEBOB
Has been involved with the Detroit and Midwest electronic music scene since
the mid 90's. He blends a seamless mix of techno and house, twisting knobs
and tweaking the EQ to the crowd's anticipant delight.
He has released tracks on THROW ("Too Many Clowns…" Comp. as Little Brother
Love) and the first Theorem LP (+8 RECORDS). John has also produced tracks
for his own label, F:AMILIAR RECORDINGS and publisher of F:AMILIAR MAGAZINE.
MACK GOUDYAKA PARIS THE BLACK FU
Always pulls a crowd whether it's in your basement or on a dancefloor. His
love for hip-hop, breaks and techno are evident in his energetic sets. He
sutures tracks together with the skill of a surgeon, through scratch skills
and crossfade mastery. He has several releases on THROW and has been movin'
butts with his boy Andy Toth (together as Detroit Grand Pubahs, now on the
JIVE ELECTRO label). The success of their track "Sandwiches" is just the
beginning from these beat freaks.
HECKLE & JECKLE
Together, Paris and Bileebob wreck decks and keep the party hype and jumpin'
through their turntable antics. You have not seen nor heard a tag team until
you've experienced these crows. They DJ in bathrobes, as super heroes, and
other crazy apparel. Techno and Jungle rules their set, but everything
electronic is in the mix.
