THE DUSTAPHONICS
French DJ, Healer Selecta is one of the London scene’s best loved characters, responsible for the Raison d’Etre club, sponsored by legends like Bo Diddley and Spanky Wilson. But every now and again, he’ll swap his box of 45’s for a guitar, form a band and cut a few records of his own.
The Dustaphonics is his collaboration with the dynamic female singer Aina, they’ve been described as ‘the new Ike & Tina Turner’… they blend rock’n’roll, soul, r’n’b, surf and boogaloo together, in a supercharged hi-octane mix. Their self-titled debut album (out soon on King-A-Ling) features such renowned musicians as Bruce Brand (Milkshakes / Headcoats), John Gibbs (The Masonics) and Snowboy on percussion, and was recorded at Hackneys’ old-school analogue studio – Toe Rag. The lyrics to one of their new single “Burlesque Queen”, were written by cult-movie icon Tura Satana, karate-chopping star of Russ Meyer’s “Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill” (1965).
With these excellent credentials, The Dustaphonics look certain to deliver a set of top-quality rock’n’soul.
